Her concerts are definitely fun to watch.
Especially when she chooses audience members to have a duet with her.
One of her most memorable concerts happened at the De Jong Concert Hall at Brigham Young University’s College of Fine Arts and Communications in Utah. It was there she asked for a volunteer as per her routine, but she ended up getting a lot more than she bargained for!
Then, he met Jared Young.
The aspiring singer was quick to take his place beside her when she asked for a volunteer.
Young revealed to Yahoo in a statement:
“When she asked the audience for a volunteer… I managed to start screaming ‘LEA, PICK ME!!’ She chose me and I ran onstage out of breath and still a bit shocked at what was about to happen. We bantered a bit about my excitement then she handed me a lyric sheet and we began.”
The man surprised everyone with his voice – including Lea.
His voice was so perfect for the song and he sang it flawlessly. It complements Lea’s powerful voice.
The clip was posted on YouTube and has been viewed by lots of people.
Since it was posted, it’s had over a whopping 14 million views and 157,000 likes! Young’s enthusiasm makes for an epic performance.
In the description of his YouTube upload he shares:
“I dreamt for 20 years of playing Aladdin(also for many years dreamed of performing alongside Lea Salonga) and couldn’t believe my dream was coming true! It was a perfect night.” – DREAM HARD . CHASE HARDER.”
Lea was so grateful that she picked a great person to have duet with her.
The audience erupts in a round of applause and cheers, warmly receiving the performance.
Their duet would surely give you goosebumps. It’s also amazing how the man surprised many people with his voice. He didn’t fail Lea for choosing him to be with her on stage.
