Marcelito was abandoned and lived on the streets from the age of 7, he speaks limited English and no Italian so this is even more amazing. He listens to songs and learns them. Celine is one of his favourite artists, listen to him sing The Power of Love. He can also sing in Spanish, French and Chinese. He is self taught and didn't have training. Sometimes he sings solely as a male, Sometimes solely as a female other times he sings duets by himself. He is amazing and very humble. Your analysis was great to listen to and your face was a picture.

First time I heard it, years ago, my favorite was the first sound out of his mouth, I was not expecting that! Also, the first switch to baritone, wow! After that, I couldn't help but think he was going to use the wrong voice at the wrong time, but he never did! Great reaction, Peter, thanks!

Welcome to the world of Marcelito. I won't repeat his extremely difficult childhood but at age 7 he started to teach himself to sing to comfort himself when he was alone and afraid. His first audiences were the chickens in the coops that he cleaned to survive. Marcelito has never had any vocal or musical training and is completely self taught. He sings all genres of music and in 6 languages and adapts his voice according to the song. In spite of his horrific childhood, Marcelito remained kind, gentle and humble. He has a charity that he is hands on with that tends to the poor and vulnerable populations of The Philipines. He truly is a man to be admired.

His childhood: his father was falsely accused and sent to prison while his mother left him (she didn't die she just abandoned him) he was later adopted by a police officer, he ran away and worked odd jobs, when he works he was singing, his co-workers said he should pursue that career

Peter, you gave him the highest compliment when you said he must have gotten a lot of training because he was mostly self-taught.

Marcelito spent a fair amount of his early life living on the streets...taught himself to sing. Folks in the Philipines rarely have vocal training.

Yeah, it can be heard. As much as talented he is, we can hear that he's good at imitating singers so he learnt to sing like the ones he adored as a fan. That's why for example in "Power Of Love" he's trying to imitate Celione Dion. I bet if he knew or liked the original of Jennifer Rush, he probably would have tried to sound like Jennifer Rush. It's not bad of course, rather an observation.

I’ve seen and heard Marcelito in person. He was born with his vocal expertise. He was left alone on the street when he was still in diapers. It’s true. He somehow found a way to survive. He is now a millionaire, performing all over the world. He has opened a school for orphan children in the Philppines. He is an angel. He is married and has one daughter. He is a beautiful human being.❤️

We are proud of Marcelito as Filipinos. Thanks for your kind reaction.

There are so many wonderful Filipino singers!

Marcelito is a Philippino whose native language is Filipina, yet he impersonated Celine's and Andrea's voices, in her French-tinged English and his Italian, meticulously. 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 versatile voice allows him to reproduce it accurately. That explains his unusual ability to create a purely female voice. He recreates many other famous female voices as well as Celine's. I'm 85 and I have heard no other male singer that can actually produce that precise sound. Once again your technical expertise caused you to miss what Marcelito did in this performance. I get that your job is "picking things apart", but his unique ability, not perfection, was the point. Just to lighten up a bit, what most people don't know is, 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.

I am from philippines,filipinos are very proud we have one marcelito. And you guys enjoy, admire him also i appreciated that very much.

For Marcelito to sound as good as he does in 2 disciplines with no formal training is Whoa! pretty astoundingly incredible!🌹

What is more remarkable is that Marcelito has no formal musical training. He is just so good at picking up the style and nuances of an artist singing a song and then duplicating it exactly

This kind of artist only come very rare in a lifetime. Considering his background of self taught with hardship along while growing up, just amazing. God bless Marcelito 🙏 🇵🇭. SF CA 🇺🇲

Gaining many different reaction at his singing style ,Pomoy is a unique singer with angelic and mellow tone he is very talented in his trade. Bravo!

That's what you called natural and gifted talent that no need to train how to have that tho voices in one.. Just comes out naturally without getting strugging on it...

If you love his higher vocal range, definitely check out his cover of The Power of Love. He sings the entire thing in his “female” voice. Excellent analysis, thanks for the reaction!

Marcelito Pomoy has the most beautiful voice!

This man deserves all the love

"I'm sure he's got a lot of training" It depends what you call training. He had a very difficult early life, including a period of homelessness. As he grew up he taught himself to mimic all his favorite singers as a passtime. So he's primarily self taught. I'm sure someone else will go into more detail (I'm just not feeling like paraphrasing a bunch of wikipedia at the moment) on his early life and difficulties. But I mean, at the end of the day he practiced a LOT, and that is what really matters. You can have the best teacher on earth, but if you never put the time in to learn, you won't be any better than someone learning on their own through pure practice.

One of the most incisive and technically-laden analyses of Marcelito Pomoy's rendition of "The Prayer". Thank you Peter ("the Patron Saint of Music"). As a former member of choirs, I've learned a lot from your comments. By-the-way, I heard that Marcelito's singing ability is self-taught; self-developed. He was born very poor and as I heard and read, he received only an elementary or grade school education. Like many Filipino singers, he probably honed his (GOD-given, awesome) singing talent by listening to many types of music, mimicking great singers, and practicing (or just singing) for endless hours. Filipinos love to sing. . .

I have heard Marcelito sing this many times. I have heard this KZread and when he sang it on the talent show in the U.S. He taught himself to sing by listening to songs being played in businesses while he was standing outside and taught himself to imitate what he heard. He didn’t know what the words meant when singing in a language other than his native tongue. I do believe that he speaks English now.

It was fun watching your face during this. I am actually DYING to see your reaction to Voiceplay’s latest.

I saw a new video and really thought that's what it would be.

Fun Fact: There is a popular contest in the Philippines called "Doble Kara" where all the contestants are solo singers that must sing a duet song, just like what Marcelito did in this performance. It usually happens during fiestas in small towns and there's even national tv contests for it. It is very fun watching solo performers do duet songs. ❤🤗🎤🎵

I loved that! For most of the high stuff I couldn't tell the difference between a chest/head voice. But now here's someone else to check out more stuff from. Thanks for this!

Marcelito is like a human tape recorder. He's a great voice mimic and repeats exactly how he heard the original artist sing. So if you think he sounded breathier on the Bocelli parts then that's how Bocelli sounded on the recording Marcelito was working from. I once saw him mimic Michael Jackson sounding exactly like him complete with all the dance moves. You might also want to check him out singing Despacito in Spanish, another language he doesn't actually speak.

Good Morning! When he was on AGT the first time when he switched to the Bochelli part the judges jumped in surprise and shock. Another great singer that I think finished third or fourth. His rendition of Beauty and the Beast is tremendous!!

despite how beautiful his upper register is, my favorite moment is at 19:30. just amazing. btw, you'll note that he did all this while seated. i find that astonishing!!

Everytime I heard Marcelito singing,it makes feel so relax and emotional.I almost cried and this makes me inspiring too.Thanks for this video content and reaction Peter.

I’ve always thought his very very last note is among the most beautiful and purest angelic notes I’ve heard. I love hearing that last note. 🥰

I've watched many reactions to this and have finally learned something about vocal techniques .. thank you brother.

Marcelito is self-taught! 😄 As for how he discovered he could sing in this higher register... If I remember correctly, he was participating in a singing contest, but had gotten a bit sick in a way that he couldn’t sing normally. He then discovered that he could manage a higher register while he was under the weather 🤷‍♀️ so he used his higher register to get through the contest.

Happened upon Marcelito Pomoy today and then your reaction video, my first as well. As a former singer, I loved singing in head voice and using vibrato and then quickly swinging to a lower range, almost a mix, as you called it. Marcelito is so natural. I hope to hear him more and so glad to have found your channel. Your commentary and reactions were priceless.

Watching from Philipines, We admired much the voice of Marcelito Pomoy. God Bless.

Every one is blushing with amazement and jealousy of his voice🤯 and falls inlove at the same time 🥰

I'm glad you checked it out . Cause I wanted to see your thought and reaction to his video .

Peter, I salute you. I've seen almost everything you've done in recent years. I really like your analysis, your amazing literacy. Thank you for our Diana Ankudinova. I think that this is one of the most unusual voices in the world of female singing. Great reactions bro. And yes... You are very beautiful. You have a great voice. Thank you for the pleasure you bring to me. Be happy.☺😊😊

Aside from the astounding vocals, what amazes me is that neither English or Italian is his native language. I heard another reactor (Italian) say that his pronunciation was good. That he obviously had taught himself to sing the Italian sections because he skipped a portion of a phrase. When he was on America's Got Talent, his wife spoke for him, his English was very rudimentary at the time. Thanx for reacting to this one, Peter, I always enjoy your work!

Can you take a gander at his AGT performance of "Time to Say Goodbye". In this case, both "voices" are "operatic". His "female" voice in this song is totally different from his emulation of Celine. I always want your take when anything operatic is presented. At his core, Marcelito is an impressionist. He does a cover of "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban where I'm hard pressed to discern the difference. Thanks.

When I first heard it I didn't recognize the Bocelli in Pomoy's way of singing at first. Even sounded a bit more like Josh Groban at times. Relistening both to old duet between Bocelli and Celine and the newer one (old one the one he most likely used as reference) I must say Pomoy definitely did changes. As in skipping the runs and almost whisper moments that the duo put in themselves making their version of the song. I actually like Pomoy's take on Bocelli more than Bocelli did himself.

He sang it in both male and female vocal. Such a hard song to accomplish on a male register range. Well done Peter on insite and personal experience on this piece.

He had a job cleaning chicken coops and found they remained calmer when he sang to them. He sings in several languages.

This man is unlike anyone I have ever had the pleasure of listening to! The way he changes from part to part so seamlessly is something else. It seems to me that he is the most natural with the higher parts but that being the first I heard him singing will sometimes sway my opinion. But, I am very untrained in the technical realm too, which is one reason I love to hear your opinion on these artists!

Simply an amazing gift from GOD!!! TREMENDOUS VOCALS!

He does sound to me as a countertenor. This would explain why, I think he sounds better in the higher range. But his tenor sound is beautiful too. His higher range is magical as his vibrato just sails away happily away at the end there. He is crystal clear & bright in that higher range. You are the only reaction that caught the subtle slight squeeze in the lower range - you are good.

Hi Peter. I found Marcelito on KZread late in 2019. I watched many reaction videos. He has other tracks on KZread, like The Power of Love (sung high throughout--beautiful). He showed up on America's Got Talent-The Champions in January of 2020 (he won Philippines Got Talent in 2011). One of the songs he sang there was Time to Say Goodbye, by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. Ach. I watched many reactions videos. Someone mentioned another interesting singer, Dimash. It was then that I found the land of Chinese singers, and eventually Korean singers. Such talent in Asia! I have spent many hours listening to them and singing along. Zhou Shen, Hua Chenyu, Jason Zhang Jie, Ayunga, Zheng Yunlong (check out Supervocal 2018), Henry Lau, Hacken Lee (Li Keqin), Wu Qing-feng, and in South Korea, Forestella, HPresso, Choi Jaerim, Michael K. Lee.

I absolutely love Marcelito I could happily listen to him all day long, he is amazingly awesome. I loved your Analysis on him and listening to how the vocals work, it is fascinating and enjoyable. Thank you

I recommend you a Spanish singer her name is Diana Navarro with the song "El perdon". She is very versatile and sings different musical styles with a very particular voice and incredible melismas. She always transmits. She also sings in other languages. The truth is that she is a very complete singer. Greetings.

When his voice goes to the lower range, it washes over me like a gentle, warm wave of water.

Sir, you are so good at picking every change that Marcelito makes in his words .. the voice ... You have accurately scrutinized Marcelito's performance. I , for one salutes your gestures towards his singing performance . Thank you for making your reaction . ... We'll follow more of your reactions for other performers in the future. God bless you !

I always love your commentary. I have listened to other reactions by other professionals, but you are my go to. Love your speaking voice by the way!

Watch his face when he sings both parts. His facial expressions get softer when he sings Celines part. It's very subtle but you can see it. Oh yes, he is self taught. My favorite part was when he changed voices the first time you heard it. Oh yes, the expression on your face was priceless.

FYI: marcelito was not musically train, Bcuz of the financial problem and abandoned by her own parent's and live on the street, his just imitating the song he heard. Thats why so many filipino adore marcelito.😊 I like your comment on marcelito great job.

To be as good as the professionals is an amazing achievement, but let’s not forget, he’s self trained. From a impoverish background , he deserves to make it big and be recognised as a real star. God bless you Marcelino.

Back in the old days, Filipinos, especially in provinces, has this singing contest called “doble-kara” which means singing with dual voices. Marcelito have perfected that technique even though the fame of the style of singing has gone.

Marcelito Pomoy is good dual voice singer. He hits the notes because of wide range of his voice

Definitely more easy at rhe higher range but he smoothly combines them into one is a true shock and love he gives to great muisc and songs.

Just remember there is beautiful talent out there sir

I loved this guy's playing with his voice. His transitions are flawless! I believe he was SITTING down!!?? He reminds me so much of Mario Lanza, with hopefully fewer problems. Bet he could go really Big in sound. I didn't pick up a noticeable falsetto, hope he's doing something professionally. Your reviews are great!

Seems to me the higher register comes more effortlessly and natural to him, and I think he sounds a bit better up there. The only thing is that I found he went slightly flat sometimes while singing up there. I didn’t notice that as much in the lower register. Overall they’re both amazing

You definitely help me understand what I’m hearing when you explain what is going on technically. After every video you post I feel like I have gained more knowledge and I appreciate that. Thank you.

Your breakdowns and assessments are fantastic I’m learning so much thank you

At the end when he turns and seems to cough, he says he’s spitting out the female voice. He’s had absolutely no training.

Peter, Marcelito takes this song to yet another level in the release of his album, "Duet Yourself". Since it is a tracked recording, he includes all of the harmonies where Bocelli and Dion sing together in harmony. It is quite beautiful with Marcelito singing the lead (Bocelli) in tenor/baritone and the alto harmony (Dion) in countertenor. This song also includes a marvelous background orchestra.

He grew up on the streets of Phillipines. Only a few years ago he started having professional training for his voice.
