Roel Manlangit, known as “Little Boy Whitney [Houston]” on YouTube, wowed the judges after singing a Whitney Houston medley on Pilipinas Got Talent.
The 13-year-old singer from Valencia, Bukidnon received a standing ovation from Kris Aquino, Ai Ai delas Alas and Freddie M. Garcia after his performance.
Kris Aquino said “Grabe ang talent mo ha, ang cute cute mo pa.”
FMG said “You have definitely pure talent.”
Roel and his family were among the victims of typhoon Pablo last November 2012. Their home was swept away by the flood and he’s hoping that by his talent, he can help his family in the future.
Here’s another trivia about Roel: Just like “random girl” Zendee Rose Tenerefe who was discovered on YouTube, the 13-year-old also has a viral video singing a Whitney Houston song on a videoke machine.
