Your reaction was priceless! Marcelito Pomoy taught himself this song, he has no classical training, rather taught himself how to sing from an early age. He learned this song by listening to a recording by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. His performance, considering that he requires a translator to carry on a conversation in English even though he understands it well but has trouble speaking it, is gorgeous. His native language is Philipino Tagalog, and he has no formal training. The recording engineer was teasing him about his female voice. That's why he spit her out at the end. Notice his big grin after doing that. He is singing now in English, Italian, Spanish and Chinese but he does not speak those languages. Possibility even more by now. He grew up on the streets from age 7 or 8. On September 21, 2014, Pomoy married Joan Paraiso of Calauag, Quezon, and they have one daughter, Marcella Janiah. He is very humble, helping out his neighbors with odd jobs and repairs, even though his reported net worth is around $5,000,000 USD. His ambition serves him well in whatever he does!

Marcelito makes it easy because he can. He is a singing angel on earth. For me, this is his absolute masterpiece, something of crystal clear sung, the bright madness. I can't really think of a second person who can do it better

No falsetto here. Marcelito was born with the ability to sing in both soprano and tenor ranges. And as an Italian, I can tell you that his Italian pronunciation is impeccable.

He has no voice training. This is raw, God given talent.

What gets me is the difference between his head/falsetto voice while in male mode in contrast (sometimes immediately) with his female voice. I love that they're so distinct from each other.

Good reaction. Marcelito is also singing in two languages, Italian and English, NEITHER of which is his native language, since he is Filipino. Notice, too, that he's sitting down. The song is done live, with no studio "gimmicks". The cover is Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. He has also recorded this song with dual tracks that is more "perfect" sounding. Still an absolute marvel in this offering.

I really enjoyed Celine and Josh Groban doing the prayer, simply amazing. And Marcelito Pomoy is indeed amazing in his ranges and keeping in key. bravo !!! Celine and Josh version: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpaqy7qAj5ico9Y.html

His life has been riddled with pains. He taught himself from a very young age. His backstory is phenomenal.

I am a new subscriber. I think you have done an excellent critique on Marcelito and Angelina Jordan. (So far those are the only reviews I have listened to) You do not appear to be cynical or jaded, but you seem honest in your criticisms if you have any. You also do a very good job explaining without sounding overly professorial, pedantic or judgmental. And it is clear you are happy for their talent and or successes without any envy or snarkiness in your review. You come across as very professional yet likable. Good for you!

Thanks Caleb for your reaction.Marcelito did not change anything from the original version. It was an attempt to recreate a duet of Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli by one person. To showcase his natural talent I guess. As I heard he did not have any formal vocal training and in fact had a very hard upbringing.

Amazing this guy Marcelito Pomoy the best singer he comes from the Philippines

Marcelito pomoy was orphaned at age 7 by his mother while his father was in prison in the Philippines and left to raise himself with smaller brothers and sisters who were eventually picked up an adopted he was not as fortunate but you said when he was scared he'd sing he worked at a chicken farm he has had no formal training at all is just truly a gift from God with an Angelic voice I absolutely can brighten my day by just listening to him

Marcelitoisa unique and amazing singer. Everyday iwatched his vdeo songs ilike so much besutiful to hear, all songs of him i really really like.God bless marci and more blessings to come...

I'm not sure what the culture is in Khazakstan when it comes to music but in the Philippines, music is a cultural fabric. Little kids spend their days banging spoons together and singing, going house to house during Christmas to sing carols, going to Fiestas and church festivals singing. When there's just no food to be had and they're hungry they start singing to forget their hunger. So, just like when Schonberg and Boublil went to the Philippines looking to cast Miss Saigon musical and pleasantly surprised to find a lot of talent during casting putting Lea Salonga in the lead role... yet if you tour the country you'll find Lea Salonga voices or better in the karaoke on a street corner. They're not trained, classically or otherwise, as most of them are very poor, but their talent is not just in singing, their talent is in mimicry such that they learn from the masters just by listening to them and mimicking the sound the easiest way they can pull it off. It's also how they can sing in any language. That's how you get Arnel Pineda, another street kid, who can sing to sound like anybody including Steve Perry. So when Filipinos look at shows like American Idol or AGT, we have this very judgy attitude about it because most of the contestants just sound like the karaoke on the street corner. So when we hear something really unique - like what Marcelito or Dimash are doing, we get like... WHOA! Because, even with our musical tradition and penchant for mimicry, it's just not something the karaoke singers in the street corner can do no matter how hard they try.

I love Filipinos singer like marcelito pomoy, GREAT AND AMAZING REACTION 😊

Thanks for another terrific reaction, Caleb. Re: The cough at the end (just because you deserve a chuckle) -- Marcelito has said he does that to cough up the soprano he swallowed before he started to sing.

Marcelito Castro Pomoy IS THE REAL DEAL. I had the great privilege of meeting and watching him in concert in June in Toronto. Check out his life story; it is worthy of a movie. 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.

He set the standard for dual voices if there is one.

Greatest singer in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Marcelito you have gifted voice from God. God bless you always and your family.

Marcelito pomoy, his talent blessings to our God...

The song itself " the prayer" is a miracle.. it's very heavenly very emphasized. I guess this has a message to the world... Humility and blessing. No matter how low pomoy was as a street child. He is still endowed with a gift by our creator. This song is the best performance of pomoy so far. Amazing. His AGT performance has a global social impact. Compared to his PGT performance.

Hey my man! I thought you'd really trip on this more than you did! I watched this two days ago, but had to digest your reaction! My reaction was to close my eyes and actually see Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli sing the song! Marcelito is crazy good! And so are you, by the way!

Wow, wow! I wish Dimash would sing something like that. And then sing in a duet Dimash & Marcelito. Those male and female voices are still amazing.

Your reaction to Marcelito's song indicates you have a thorough knowledge of music and musically inclined too. If you have noticed the singing is effortless and it makes it awesome! Besides, the talent is a gift from God as marcelito doesn't have any formal training.

Check his cover of power of love and you'll find how amazing he really is.

I loved his switching. I have watched this some more times than I can count.

This man has a Heavenly Gift!

I was just getting ready to go to bed. Gotta watch this first, though. 👌👌👌 Keep in mind, he needs an interpreter to even have a conversation in English. He’s sitting down, and he’s also singing in Italian. And the end, where he appears to cough, people say that he’s expelling the female from within. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Celine Dion/ Andrea Bocelli

He just setting there and hitting every note effortless. He has a captivating voice. Amazingly beautiful voice.

It great that you had not seen him before. i saw him for the 1st time a few days ago and my reaction when I saw this was pretty much smiling from ear to ear (after I put my tongue back in my mouth!)... His1st album was appropriately titled: Duet Yourself! LOL TY!

He's very good, not like Dimash, but we have to consider that it was a time when he was a street child and singer. Dimash was trained for opera since he was 5. Considering this, is fascinating.

So glad another Aussie appreciates Marcelito Pomoy....I have see you do a reaction to Dimash....but the difference between Marcelito Pomoy and Dimash. is Dimash has been trained since he was 5.Along with his parents MUm and Opera singer Dad Singer Songwriter. Marcelito had absolutely no training. You can view his life story on Wikipedia. When you read his story you will be amazed at this amazing singer..Since I become a fan of Marcelito. As Australian I did not know too much about the Philippines. Exception it was an island "Över there." 70,000. islands well that nearly blew me away. I have since studied up on the Philippines, The Culture, The People, The history . World War 11. All due to this remarkable young man .I do hope that you will read up on him then you will really appreciate him not just as a singer but a remarkable Human Being.

He will be competing in Americas got talent the champions on January 6🙂🙂

Marcelito is the greatest singer in the world.

He sings the power of love...one person, not split.

Listening to Marcelito, I had an impression that he's a fantastic voice imitator. That's why he is not offering his own interpretation of a song but literally imitates every note, timber and intonation of different singers. It's super impressive and I admire his obvious talent but it all kinda reminded me of circus tricks, to be honest... I would like to hear him singing an original song where his own personality would shine through...

Marcelito doesnt have formal training in singing,but he can switch voices just like that!!! Love the reaction sir your smile is so cute!!! Try katrina velardes go the distance on the wish bus.....

*Just so you know, he was invited by Ellen on her show & Celine Dion herself was told by Ellen about him & she invited him to New York to her concert. He has also performed this very song (and others) for the Spanish royal family...yes its on video...and it sounds the same like in a studio*

He discovered this talent when he was a kid. I think it is natural. I can't find where he has had any sort of training.

Yeah, in the Philippines, Marcelito Pomoy called as a "PHENOMINAL SINGER"....

Pomoy’s power of love and despacito; and time to say goodbye🤗🤗🤗

Singing an iconic, beautiful song while sitting down and making it seem effortless: CHECK. Switching from a head tone to a chest tone and getting both perfect: CHECK Doing it better than any other “dual singer” & making most vocal coaches or critics show that they need to find another god damned job: PRICELESS 👍🏻

People can you stopped to compare them Dimash and Marselito are beautiful singers I wish them to have a great singers future 💕💕💕

Very Special Talented the best Marcelito Pomoy he Really Sounds like Celine Dion and Andrea many more any Sounds like Michael Jackson & Whitney Houston , Josh Groban nice voice real believe me real. . .

Nice reaction blog post 👍😁😄 watching from Saudi Arabia 👍 thumbs up 👍😄

I think his beautiful multicolored voice and switching skills can not be acquired through formal training. Because I've never seen a formal trained singer who can do the same thing as him.

Very nice reaction,,,thanks

If you haven't watched it yet or listened to it and you just heard it, you're just listening to it. You will really think that there are more than one singer singing the song.

mERCELITO HAS HAD NO MUSICAL TRAINING AT ALL, NONE, HES SHEER PERFECTION

Yes, I heard him before. Really amazing ☺👌

Heavenly, Doing a Duet alone, two different voices one male, one female, doing change ups in less than 1/2 breath, speak in one languages and sings two different languages, languages Brilliant talent Self Taught. Peace

You could also listen Marcelito's rendition in America's Got Talent in 2019.

So soothing, right! So impressed with your reaction! So sincere, so angelic! Thanks!

Caleb, there is an 11 member (5 women, 6 men) A Cappella ensemble called "Voctave" to which I think you would enjoy reacting. Although Voctave has numerous KZread videos, I recommend that you start with their "Disney Princess Medley" (2017) and then "Disney Love Medley" (late 2015). Note: The "Disney Love Medley" was recorded when Voctave had only 8 members. It features Kirstin Maldonado of Pentatonix fame and Jeremy Michael Lewis of the Acousticats. That video currently has 32 million views.

Awesome reaction

Marcelito canta como Los Ángeles ,,,el canta maravilloso

Very nice reaction complement very nice

I understand what Marcelito is doing with this duet, and it's amazing. What I would love to see is a version in which he sings both duet performances but recorded separately, then overlayed onto one track. A bit is lost in the transitioning from one to the other in this particular presentation. An overlayed track would allow the duet performances to run their full range, one layered over the other. Fantastic though. And I especially enjoy the reaction from all the vocal coaches, yours included, Caleb.

Marcelito Pomoy found out that he could sing in Kara voices on the street at age 18

Very nicw the best the prayer

Thank you so much! You clearly appreciate what he has to offer and what he cant do and i think someone like you should sit in one of them AGT judges.

and also the amazing thing about it Marcelito had no if any kind of professional training what so ever... nada zech... when he was a child his mom left him while his father was in jail and he lost his family he grew up living on the streets in the philippines well his story is brief on america gots talent

Italian singers/coaches have noted how good his Italian when he sings.

because of his phenominal talent marcelito pomoy was invited to show by the king and queen of Spain ..

Marcelino puro talento

Thanks Caleb for sharing.

Marcelito the man although he hasn't been trained by a professional musician but he's been gifted by God hes more like the korean homeless boy who won the korean got talent we are from New zealand and very fond of Marcelito Pomoy the most humble singer God bless u boy

no one can do what he doe's that well

watch him singing "the power of love" that he can mimic other singers

Youve got great smile on your reaction😊

Please reaction to Marcelito singing Power of Love. Great reaction. Thanks in advance.

Try Gary Valenciano, SPAIN that was also insane. Also in wish bus you're gonnaove him too

Time to say goodbye and power of love

You are so kind and nice to all the reacting videos you made. I saw alot 😁😁

Love your honesty and your accent...

He's amazing, isn't he? He also did a cover for Celine Dion's "The power of love" and seriously, if I heard him before actually seeing him, I would think it was Celine singing (maybe you could check that one too, it's pretty awesome!). And since you're already in the Wish fm bus, what about reacting to Darren Espanto? Check his cover from Sia's "Chandelier", and check too his duet with Morissette Amon singing Aladdin's "A whole new world". They're just wonderful ♥ Another great reaction, thank you so much!

Listen to the original with Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and see how much Marcelito sounds like them and that is what this performance was about. Marcilito singing "Power of Love" is the same thing. I like the technical approach to your reaction .
