Rhap Salazar - All By Myself - 12 year old singing sensation on Ellen Degeneres Show 11/17/2009 

this is not the only song/performance which he can prove that he's a great artist from philippines. he still deserve the applaud. kudos rhap. :)

This kid is great!!

he's amazing

Omg he's so good!

He is an amazing singer for a 12 year old! WOW!

amazing!!!!

amazing!!

please watch his performance singing One moment in Time.. damn! he was so great! Goosebump!

i can say that ellen is the house of pilipino singers... i think kz of x-factor will sing also in ellen degeneres...

wow!! what a voice!!

perfect song by celine ^^ Love it

You know someone is legit when they've been on Ellen ;-)

@MrMikesok they have karaokes scattered everywhere. you can literally see these karaoke boxes in the bars, restaurants, malls, hotels, churches, boats, in the streets, mountains, rice and corn fields, etc. filipinos, rich and poor alike love to express themselves in singing. whether they're sad or happy - they just love singing their hearts out. karaoke's just simply part of being a filipino. now you know why they set the standards in singing.. and dancing too!

weeeeeeeehhhhh sumabit naman eh!!!

very good ...

@TaeLiuMir - i agree! with pure talent. gosh!

mezziah08, he is in the states, i hope you realize that all that he mentioned are known around the world.

@Sshelly34213 i believe your comment is not intended for me because I do not know what you were talking about.

Give him some credit hes only 12 plus i bet he can sing it better than all you critics on youtube

tzutzijhay, you are right, hearing is different from listening, I did not say they are the same. what I said was anybody who has the ability to hear knows how to listen to a song, we just have different ways. actually I did not get your point. I am not sure if you meant, you can tell a good music when you hear it, then for me it's not knowing how to listen but individual appreciation of music.

Anyone else notice all the Fillipino people that have come to America and that can actually sing.

didn't know he's gone to ellen

filipino is simply the best no doubt

@TaeLiuMir , I'm not a fan of JB, but you got to admit he has the perfect voice for pop and he has the looks too. Which is why he sells. If this guys was to replace JB, he wouldn't do as well.

how come every phillipino has to be an amzing singer???

nerves betrayed him ... is it in your eyes .. greetings from peru

what note did he hit ? it's amazing... :) he's a Filipino Right ?? Little Bit Same With Charice

tzuzijhay, anybody who can hear knows how to "listen to a song". Is there an SOP on how to listen to a song?

1:37 - 1:42 what happened, is it an audio?

@0mahesa your-right

I'm Filipino :D

Im happy for ralph.. Mas sakit daw c ralph d2, may ubo kaya may konting sablay.. Pero kung wlang sakit im xur, tatangayin ang bubong ng s2dio ni ellen.. Ralph lacks confidence.. While charice nag-uumapaw ang confidence kaya ang impresion ng iba, kayabangan which is CONFIDENCE lang tlga. Im dont think maabot ni charice kung saan man xa ngaun kung wla xa nun.. RALPH GALING MO!

@ShilohOMG yeah russell peters ;D

im guessing that his voice is changing ....check some of his videos on here...this does not give him any justice

give him a break. he was really sick that day. i mean literally sick.

@MrMikesok they love karaoke

@MrMikesok he does because hes in real the best friend of charice

maganda sana kaso my sabit lang kunti!! pero alam ko maning mani nya lang ung song na yan kapag nasa ASAP xa.. parang kabado c raph.. nakatuwa lang kasi si cha talagang control na control ang stage!! good luck for raph and cha! more blessings and good health!!

he cracked a little but he killed it

Uy im not a raph salazar fan, IM A CHARICE PEMPENGCO FAN.. Hehe.. Kahit iview mu pa lahat ng vidz ni cha, tadtad ng comments q. 1st tym q magpost for raph.. Hehe..

some of the comments are so dumb thats amazing singing for his age

mejo sumemplang yata pero ok na !!!!!!!!!!!magaling dn nmn

no forgetted never like celine shes the only one with this song no body can top her, no matter how much they tried even mariah carey can do it.

@MrRheajoy *have

@jmarksumatra "he's"

@morning78 his voice changed because he is going to puberty stage

tzutzijhay, now I understand, but like I have told someone, the producers are the ones deciding what song the guest should sing. i hope you also remember that All By Myself is originally sang by Eric Carmen, the arrangement of which does not fit him either. So between orginal and Celine Dion's version, the latter fits him better. Ruined? I beg to disagree.

He lost his angel voice. It's so sad.

I Dont think un ha, not "IM DONT THINK".. Hahaha.. Nalagyan ng M. Haha. Anyway, magaling tlga c ralph. Juz lyk charice.. Maganda ang timbre ng boses. Tuwing nagpeperform xa sa pinas sobrang galing. Nagkataon lang tlgang may sakit xa. En ellen's mic or speaker sucks. Gaya din nung kay charice, DI MAXADONG LUMALABAS ANG GALING. Unlyk sa OPRAH, nakakaganda lalo ng performance.

kaboses medyo ni Aiza Seguerra :))

im apologize ,, he have a good voice !

omg what hapenned to your voice?

@29veranda LEFT!!! : )

@itsjeffril no, he wasn't sick... that's normal... PUBERTY...

@MrMikesok If it makes you feel any better, I'm Filipino and cant sing at all... :D

Is He sick? He can actually hit the high notes effortlessly~ >,

@stardusth2o it was,.... but he is a really good singer. but i think his voice broke that all.

is it me or can all fillipios sing?? Charice, maria, and now him ^^

Puberty.. I sing almost as good, if not better, when I was 12.. But now, my voice just changed.

well maybe it's on a lower key, or you just do not like the song. hope you will like his other songs. sooner or later, his voice will mature, by then you will hear him sing men's songs

tzutzijhay, used to be heard? what do you mean? i will just assume, you do not like Rhap. Because, I loved his performance and so did the American audience. As for the awkward thing, I cannot understand what you mean. A female song can be sung by a male, vice versa as long as they can do justice to the song. In Rhap's case, I believe he did, but I can see that you do not agree with me.

actually he is sick during this guesting too bad for him :( really noticeable while he is singing

yan ung best friend ni charice db..

@lockritahchicqk10 ah t okay eh! wla man may namangkut! hhe...! cge2!

oh akala ko ba mas madami magaling, bakit paulit ulit ang comment mo? di ba dapat dun ka mag comment sa "mas magaling"?

aries, really? but unfortunately Ellen chose him and not those "magaling sa kanya" that you were talking about. It's Ellen btw, not Helen. Can't we all just be thankful?

he has voice like girl's

@stardusth2o Can you do better? Post a video of you singing

just be proud of our countrymen na nabibigyan ng chance sa ellen degeneres.. may sablay man siguro dahil kabado..

he sound like a girl bcuz he is 12years old just like justin bieber when he had a sound like a girl now he grow up

@mycheesedguitar uhmmm.. but this version ain't!

@Mazztah haha aww... ): I'm mexican n I can't sing well kinda I sing like a black lady on steroids... is that racist??

What happened to him? Was he nervous coz it wasn't obvious. He is an excellent singer from the Philippines but this performance is not even within the standards of Filipino Singers. He was struggling reaching the high notes and was even out of tune. I hope, he'll be given a chance to sing again!

@lockritahchicqk10 baka lumuhod ka sa boses ko? fyi, kaya ko kayang talunin si Rhap Salazar! I'm not boasting! Just telling the truth! wo0t2!

I think he pushed to hard to hit the high note!

ang gara sa birit palpak !! kung iba kinanta mo e di naka kanta ka pa sa ibang hollywood show

WTF?? It's screaming

NOOOO! Don't wanna be Obama's elf! NOOOOOOO!!!

he lost his control starting 1:35 onwards and i know he can do better than this..

He loses it Y Y

@1pimpsamrazo..... I'm better and i'm 12

well this is a one time oppurtinty and he failed miserably quite honestly. Oh well but hes a good singer though i dont know what happened here hopefully theyll give him another chance.

can he sing a song by a man?

hay naku.. I guest mo si Regine Velasquez

honestly love his voice. but i think it cracked

isa kpa! pinoy ka ba? grabe ka mang husga! di makukuha c rap kung di magaling! manuod ka ng duet nila ni cha! isa xa sa mga pinoy singers na nagpapakilala sa mga siners dito sa piunas! di mu ba makita? unti unti nang nakikilala pinoy.. tawag sa gingawa mu eh insecurity. hehehe imbis na sumuporta nang intriga kapa

Flat note!!

is he sick? I mean...he can sing better than this...>.< he is a champion in a worldwide singing competition right?

Ralph is A gay...hahaha..xD.

don't do a celine dion song cause she does it ten times better than anyone hes a good singer just choosing a celine dion song is not the best idea!

c raph, para sa akin ay hindi siya deserving na mag-apir sa show. madami pang mas magaling sa kanya. sayang lang ang effort ni helen. hindi nakakaaliw ang performance niya. tsk tsk tsk.. basta ang alam ko, dapat kantahin niya kung sakaling pupunta si OBAMA dito at ialay niya...O BaMAself .... don't want to hear... OBAma self anymore....hehehe

gay

You should see him sing And I'm Telling You with Charice.
