I’ve done a lot of posts about the various talent franchises such as The Voice and Got Talent. Both also have a kids version where kids in countries around the world vie for prizes and attention. Well here’s a young boy who deserves every prize and bit of attention that he gets.
Angelico “Echo” Claridad is only eight years old, but you would never know it listening to his voice. Even though he’s not even singing in his native language, he gains immediate approval from the judges when he launches into “Too Much Heaven,” a 1978 from supergroup The Bee Gees.
The Bee Gees, which takes their name from the “Brothers Gibb”–Barry, Robin and Maurice–became one of the top selling acts in the world when their songs from the disco movie sensation Saturday Night Fever swept the world in the mid- to late-1970s.
Here little Echo’s young voice is perfect to imitate the falsetto the Gibbs were famous for and it’s obviously a smart decision: he gets instant chair-turns from the judges. Watch the full video below and please leave us a Facebook comment to let us know what you thought!
