Remember one of the singers at our wedding reception that I featured before in one of my Musical Monday posts?

Oh, well, probably, most likely you don’t. That was ages ago… just about a year, actually. Lol! But to remind you, here’s that video I posted before:

That’s at the rehearsal, a few days before the reception. When my mum first saw the video, she asked, “Is that really him singing?” Yes, it’s really him, and you would notice that at the part where the camera came closer to him, and the volume of his voice changes naturally, as any sounding object would if you come closer.

Anyway, just a little more story…. At the wedding reception, since Nic’s so addicted to singing, he sang about 3 songs with the chorale, 3 duets (1 a capella, when the audience and host begged them to sing once more) with Racquel (that girl he’s rehearsing with), and one solo.

The host at the reception, who was a popular DJ at the local radio station, was quite impressed that he invited Nic to join an upcoming singing audition at the station (ABS-CBN) the next week. But when we checked on him the next week, he had chosen not to go.

Well, I had to tease him on Facebook recently when he posted a certain video. I said, “Oh, so that’s why you didn’t go to the local audition, because you want to go national right away!(The real reason for ‘going national’ actually was that, he was just in Manila looking for the job, when this opportunity came up.)

So, in hopes that he might be discovered like Justin Bieber, Charice Pempengco, etc. (and give me free tickets to his future big concerts…lol!!!), here’s the video he posted on Facebook. Be patient with it a bit though, because it’s during a game show he joined, but the show host made him sing a lot of songs there.
