voice from within

like most sunday nights, me, Leah Joy, Khael and Keila were gathered in front of the television watching "Pilipinas Got Talent" last night. we were so enthralled as one 11-year girl performed the songs of Whitney Houston. her performance gave me goosebumps. she was so good that i had a hard time recovering my jaw from dropping. the four of us in the living room didn't even utter a word when the girl started to sing. the judges were so impressed too that after her audition piece, they asked the girl if she can perform one more song. she sang "i will always love you". she was so close to perfection. the judges gave her three yes-es :)

suddenly, out of the pregnant silence, a soft wailing voice came out and JingJing, Khael and i turned out heads in unison in Keila's direction. we all had confused faces. when Keila opened her mouth again, it was then that we realized that she was singing "and i.......will always love you". i couldn't help it so i asked her "are you singing?" she kept quiet and her three evil companions (us) laughed out loud! she stood up and tried to silence each one of us with her towel, but we just kept on laughing. her voice, to say it subtly, needs A LOT of improvement. but it was so funny of her to sing when she knows that she doesn't have a singing voice.

finally, i asked her a question that the judges in PGT ask the contestants: "how did you get a voice like that? who trains you?" she said, "my mom!"

ooohhhh, i thought i'd die laughing......
