Voice Teacher Reacts: Marcelito Pomoy - The Prayer LIVE from the Wish Bus 

He was self taught. His father was in prison and his mother abandoned him on the streets at age 7. He had a very rough life but brought himself up to being a world class singer. So proud of him.

Marcelito was born with the ability to sing in soprano, tenor and baritone ranges and does them all beautifully. He's also singing in both English and Italian...neither one is his native language... and doing it while sitting down! He's one amazing man. So glad you enjoyed him.

Did anyone else notice… When coaches hear a great voice they have one the best beautiful smile you could see.

Marcelito has no vocal lessons, he grew up in streets and he's self-taught just mimicking the singers. That's how he discovered his gift!

John, I have been watching for you to do a few of my favorites, This is a special one and invoked a great reaction from you - as expected. Some of your peers scoff and try to explain his talent as a parlor trick. The beauty of his singing makes that argument ridiculous. There is much to know, so this may get a bit lengthy. He was a homeless street kid. He discovered he could sing, so he began imitating the Pop hits on the street and in clubs. I describe his talent in this way: he has a completely unique memory that allows him to capture every nuance that he hears and then - his magnificent voice allows him to reproduce it precisely. That explains his unusual ability to create a purely female voice. I have heard no other male singer that can actually produce that precise sound - and I'm 83. His native language is Filipino, yet he just sang Celine's French-tinged English and Andrea's Italian - flawlessly. That strange thing that he does with his mouth after the song is because the Sound Engineers were teasing him about having a 'female voice' so he was 'removing' it. Marcelito is humble with a great sense of humor and a charming stage presence. Well, enough - I thought you might enjoy some insight into this gifted singer. Cheers.

Marcelito should be on a Broadway Stage and The West End, he deserves to be seen live.

The Almighty remembered the hardships Marcelito lived through as a child. The LORD blessed him with a soothing angelic voice. It’s mesmerizingly beautiful that hearing it will bring tears of joy. His clear tone and flawless delivery will capture your heart. Listen to his rendition of The Prayer and The Power of Love. It’s out of this world. Proud of you Marcelito. Please remain humble and glorify God with your talents. God bless.

He is truly gifted because he is self taught, no formal training/ voice lesson, just pure talent.

He affected me the same way . My father was a trained Opera singer and I spent some years listening to many artists sing , some in our home and I never heard anything like this young mans range .

You know there are a lot of singers here in Philippines can do dual voices but Marcelito is on different level... He is so talented in his craft!

this teacher is legit( with proof)😊😊.. unlike those two who said that mars was superflat..

Pilipino should proud with Marcelino Pomoy for his talent. Mabuhay ang Pinas !

Such a gifted artist. Singing two voices, two languages (both not his) and sitting down. Self taught with tough up bringing environment. Just so inspiring🙏. Very enlightening reaction sir👌

Thanks John. The quick way he changes from male to female and vice versa is remarkable.

Marcelito is one of the wonders of the world..............my eyes are filled with tears of joy and gratitude .......I can never stop watching this....Goosebumps , crazy, unique, fabulous...i have never seen anything like this ...One man duet.......its is insanely amazing!!!!! my eyes are filled with tears, my body is shaking with surprise and joy....Marcelito is so special

Marcelito Pomoy. A very, very rare talent. A precious one.

this song by marcelito was over screened again and again and different voice coaches for so many time are so impressed and cant believe LOL...

I like when John explains every technicality and physiological explanation of how sounds was produced. Good job

Our Marcelito Pomoy maybe doesn't know all that musical technicality but one thing he knows certainly best is to sing from his heart and share his gift to the world.

He is such a gifted singer and a lovely human being. Singer, actor, comedian and great humanitarian. He inspires me!

I've seen so many people react to this performance and for the most part they have all been pretty much the same; however, this was by far the best I have seen by a long shot. The surprised reaction was still there but it was blended with outstanding analysis as to what he was doing and why it was so remarkable. Fantastic job John, thank you!

Try listening and reacting to a Filipino singer Marcelito Pomoy of his four (4) songs at America's Got Talent, his version of Endless Love, You Raise Me Up, his version of Despacito, Never Enough, Perfect at One Magical Night Concert, his chinese song once popularized by Teresa Teng, The Moon Represents My Heart, his duet with Morissette Amon, Secret Love Song and all his Filipino songs including those he interpreted at A Song Of Praise (ASOP) such as Aasa Sa Awa Mo, Ama and Pagbabalik.

John….Appreciate all of your comments. He’s truly a gifted singer. The best I’ve ever seen. Listen to him singing the Beauty & the Beast on AGT with a live audience. 😀👍

Follow him hope you enjoy his songs and performances

I'm still just blown away by Marcelito can do that WHILE sitting down! Truly, truly a talent. I go back to his AGT audition every so often because I just love him.

I saw him on one of the got talent shows, and fell out of my chair when he did this piece. This song is hard enough to do with one part in a true duet. Him doing both parts was just mind blowing. I enjoyed your reaction.

Marcelito Pomoy is definitely in the elite singing bracket. He blows people out of the water. He's truly unbelievable and unreal. He's the master in switching voices in a split second,no effort whosoever, what so amazing is the fact that he never ever real training and lessons in singing, he's self taught. The more you react on him the more you will be in awe. Pls. Check out his amazing performances in AGT The Champions edition. He blew the roof off!!! Check also his rendition of the Power of Love by Celine Dion

Even vocal voice teacher can't believe how he sing duet to his own self. He is incredibly powerful.

A true genius at work.

A fantastic performance. Incredible. He was a homeless kid in the streets of Manila deserted by his parents, and self-taught himself how to sing. He is now a world famous artist.

Marcelito says he's never had any voice lessons or singing lessons he's just gifted Endless Love song

Thanks for the awesome review of Marcelito. His talent is awesome and God gifted with lots of singing practice. He has never had singing lessons of any kind. He grew up living on the streets of the Phillipines from age 7 until 24 when he won the Phillipines Got Talent. He worked odd jobs to earn enough to feed himself and slept on the streets at night. His mother abandoned him at age 2 and his dad was in jail. They even put him in jail for a while with his dad because they had no where for him to go. He finally ran away and took care of himself. God has blessed him with an amazing gift which he has crafted into an awesome talent. He is so humble and down to earth. I was disappointed with his appearance on AGT because shafted him. He drew so many fans to watch AGT The Champions and it was because of Marcelito the reviews were through the roof. He should easily have won that competition. Enjoy your new knowledge of his talents. I listen to him every day - I love his voice it soothes me when I have had a bad day or it makes me happy just to listen to him. He is magnificent!

I'm no expert on vocal talent but it's a definite indication of common interest in singers who just simply have that wow factor marcellito has had a difficult past experience and I do think that these experiences make you more determined to succeed and he was on americas got talent with Simon Cowell they were blown away by his vocal ability amazing 👏👏👏

Hi John, try reacting to all his performances (The Prayer, Con Te Partiro, and Beauty and the Beast) at "America's Got Talent: Champion Edition" and you'll be amazed just like the Judges and the Audience. BTW, did you know that Marcelito had not even a bit of Vocal Training in all his freaking life? He discovered his talent while tending Chickens in his Coop. Tnx for appreciating Macelito's God Given Raw Talent.

John's reaction is priceless, that's how Marcelito brings the house down ❤️!

Its about time for d world to recognize a person or an individual as one of d wonders of d world ..for this such a rare talent

Hi John enjoyed your reaction, Marcelito is completely self-taught has no voice training. Another interesting thing he did and this song was He sang Celine’s part and pop and Andre’s part in opera.

Tq for your reaction sir,👍👍👍, please react more on Marcelito Pomoy cover ,,i will waiting ok😁,,The Power of Love,, Endless Love,, never enough',,and many more,,luv your reaction Sir😘😘

One of the best singer here in our country. Very proud of him!

His USA TOUR IS HERE!! OMG, I can't wait!! He is AMAZING!

And FLAWLESS Italian despite him not speaking a word of the language. I've seen Italians react to this and they say it's perfect.

One of the best reactions to Marcelitos The Prayer song thank you Professor for making reactions to our beloved Marcelito Pomoy proud pinoy here! Pinoy Pride!🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭😍😘🫰

This is the best reaction video, I've ever seen. We're proud to be a pilipino sir..

you should react to Marcelito Pomoy sing Conte Par Tiro (Time to say Goodbye) and Beauty and the Beast on America's Got Talent.

You should watch his performance at AGT 😁

Marcelito Pomoy so totally totally gifted. John Henny Vocal Studio you weren't expecting this were you. Totally magnificient.

Only one out of millions has this kind of ability. He's probably the second or third person with this singing ability.

I was amazed when I first heard Marcelito. I still get goosebumps hearing him singing this song.

It's not just that he can sing two different voices that makes him so special, he can sing with the emotion and personality of two different people

Gracious. This is truly amazing to listen to. His female voice is so delicate, it's like a soft breeze blowing in the trees. Just amazing. His male voice is like a rich dark chocolate, it's so good. This is truly spectacular in the human spectrum.

What a gift. He could do a solo album using either voice exclusively. I must admit, I love his male "Bocelli" voice. So rich.

My favorite " I don't explain how to do that on my Book ". But your Professional Review is one of the better one's I've seen/heard. Thanks.

pls. react to another Marcelito Pomoy singing "The Power 0f Love" LIVE on the wish bus by Celine Dion and by the way "The Prayer" was sang by Celine Dion and Andre Bucilli

Mind boggling … but Marcelito’s vocal capabilities is just phenomenal … try reacting to Marcelito’s Conte Partiro (Time to say goodbye) in America’s Got Talent … this cover will definitely stun you … 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊

Thanks John Henny for explaining MP's special talent.

Love your reaction John. Because you’re clearly passionate about your area of expertise, the appraisal / critique has authority that authenticates Marcelito’s ability for the rest of us

Terharuuu.... Tuhan Maha Besar... Marcelito contoh manusia penuh syukur.... Nyanyian dia menyentuh sekali... Lebih dari aslinya. Tuhan memberkati..

Such a beautiful reaction to marcelito..the female voice is MARCY and the male voice is LITO..can you rract to his version of POWER OF LOVE,you will be amazed..

The pride of the Philippines... Thank you for bringing honor .. This by far is the best reaction to what marcelito can do.. Thank you for featuring Him Sir... Mabuhay ka!!!

Honest to God if I was not watching the video I would think 100% that this was two different people. And not only two different people but two incredible vocalist

Yep that’s the look !!!! Wait for it.......yep, we felt the same way. He’s amazing. You should read his background story as a child and how he learned how to sing this way. Very much worth it. It is also amazing.

God truly outdid Himself with Marcelito! He is one-of-a-kind!!! Bravo and Blessings! 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏

Ogni volta che lo ascolto è una meraviglia, questo non è normale. Bravissimo Marcelito !!!!!

Try Filipino Singers’ BuDaKel with Katrina Velarde’ s “One sweet Day “ version. You will really flip out too. Thank you Coach. Marcelito is such a national treasure!

I've watched a lot of reactions from voice coaches and singers and you are the only one who immediately realized he will do both parts. Enjoyed watching, thanks.

Love your reaction... You should hear marcelito pomoy and morisette singing secret love song... He take 4 differwnt tones... Enjoy 🙏🏻

Absolutely fabulous and beautiful voice. So talented. I hope he gets an agent and records his beautiful voice for the whole world to hear

Legend has it that Marcelito swallowed a switch when he was young that when he flips left, his voice sounded Bocelli and when he flips right, he sounds like Dion. :D :D :D

Your reaction to Marcelito's version of The Prayer is definitely one of the best I've seen, so far, and I've seen many.

Your facial expressions say it all. It is a joy to hear you!!

I laughed out loud at the outset! His is a great story of coming out of homelessness

He is so amazing! 😭

Thank you for your reaction. It was a pleasure to see a career vocal expert and teacher be blown away by something they did not know was even possible. He is astonishing.

I've never been as happy to see a video come up as one from you Mr. Henny! I watch Marcelito Pomoy's Prayer video for a while, and I listen a few times a week. It's beautiful, and I'm very happy you did this one!!

Reaction was priceless, He is amazing, Brilliant talent. Self taught, heavenly. Thank you

I had to come back and comment on how much I enjoyed this reaction video. I've watched this at least 25 times and it gets better every time. Your analysis is so good, to know what it takes to sing as Marcelito does makes me appreciate his talent so much more!

12 months ago this Christmas this was played at my dear old dads funeral who passed from Covid ...still brings a tear to my eye, Rip Dad xx

Best video of a professional vocalist analyzing this amazing singer. I'm a new follower from this day on this channel. Great video John Henry.

His voice is so beautiful it will bring tears to your eyes.

Finally I've seen your reactions to Marcelito! And I was not disappointed! Marcelito will always blow your mind guaranteed every single time you listen to him. Its like a child first-time watching a magic trick! Please react to his live performances at AGT CHAMPIONS especially Con Te Partiro

wow... simply the best reaction sir - and the thorough understanding of the technicalities! yes, indeed - that's a gift! all the best Maestro!

Amazing voice and I love your reactions in disbelief.

Remarkable, wow, speechless, wild, fantastic singing...coming from a voice coach. Marcelito Castro Pomoy IS THE REAL DEAL. Check out his life story; it is worthy of a movie. I had the great privilege of meeting and watching him live in concert in Toronto. Watching him live was like an out of body experience. The videos DO NOT do his voice any justice. Proud to be Filipino. Cheers from Toronto. From his biggest FAN in Canada.

Loved your reaction. MP is truly an incredible gifted singer. So very proud of him. Cheers.

The greatest vocal performance I’ve ever seen. He’s actually singing the Celion Dion / Andrea Bocelli version and does it flawlessly. 😊🐿

Great reaction, listen to him do power of love and I will sub

Gosh...I love your reaction to Marcelito's singing. I appreciate the honesty...and comments from the gut...from a professional.

Congratulations on 100k my brother. Been with you since 15k. Happy for you. Keep up the fantastic work

I enjoyed your reaction and analysis of Marcelito's performance. It helps me to learn how to sing in the same manner as Marcelito. Thank you-

When the changeover of roles/voices happened I just loved your delighted smile. Marcelito is the real deal. No party trick here. I think, you too, are a special human being because you are able to delight in the talent of another without stinting. You listened with your whole being and I could see you singing in your heart every note with such joy. Not only did you bring your technical experience to the table, but also an obvious love and appreciation of music. Thank you.

I love how you dissect and explain things, thank you for appreciating his talent

John, I was and still am drop jawd after hearing Marcelito sing. Your reaction was priceless.
