Talent can be found anywhere.
A young girl from a small fishing village in the Philippines has gone viral after her powerful tribute to the late Whitney Houston.
The girl, only identified as Elsie, was seen on video singing a rousing rendition of Whitney Houston's 1992 single “I Will Always Love You” from the hit film The Bodyguard.
What makes her stand out from other singers on the net is the way she learns each song. Elsie is blind, a non-English speaker and has never received formal schooling according to Unilad.
Elsie learned the songs through repetition. She listens to the songs, memorizes them and puts her own spin on classic hits.
“This is Elsie again with another song,” the owner of the video wrote. “She is blind since birth, cannot speak English but she memorized these songs and sings like an angel! She has never been to school, never learned English. She listens to songs and learns the song. She has one of the most Amazing voices I have ever heard. She lives in a small fishing village in the Philippines.”
LAD Bible reports Elsie gained popularity on Facebook after user Darrell Burnett posted a video of her singing for family members. The vid racked up nearly 30,000 views and spark a small following.
