Check out Darren singing the Phantom of The Opera theme at the Aces concert. He was probably 17 then. More recently he did a duet with Calum Scott called Heaven. He's another Filipino gem. He grew up in Canada but I think He's currently back in the Philippines.
I know this is about Darren, but I can't help but notice when Mori comes in, even people like you can't help but smile. The reaction is visceral. Even professionals are in awe. I watched a reaction last night where a pro female vocalist saw her for the first time and her mouth dropped open about three notes in, and didn't close during the whole time. She is so special. Some comments allude to "Chandelier" where she allows him to shine. Check it out.
Darren is sheer talent and God given gift! Was the highest earning child singer in the Philippines. Have grown up to sing all genres including opera and musicals such as Phantom of the Opera etc. Has also become a heartthrob among the young and old as well!
Darren's video singing Chandelier was taken down years ago. It was the 1st Wish Bus video to become virsl back in 2016..They were just a small new radio station then. Reactors reacting to Korean & Indian artists discovered the Wish Bus at that time. A copy of Chandelier was uploaded by a fan channel so u can check that out. He & Morisette later did a duet of Chandelier during the Wish awards show.
Morissette's voice is as incredible as always As for Darren got to watch watch his collab with Morissette performing Chandelier (impromptu) during the Wish Awards.❤
He's now 22 (about 14 in the second video, 18 in the first) and has the full range of both these videos plus. I believe the breathy lows in the first video were deliberate as he can sing those clear. Two videos to check out are his medley of This Is Me/Con Te Partiro/Phantom (both parts) and his Believe in Christmas video. In the medley he is able to change out genres easily. In the Christmas one, he shows almost his full range. He was born in Canada and at 13 participated in Voice Kids in the PH, came in second, but stayed there to hone his talent and never looked back. BIG star in PH. Maybe even bigger than Morissette, but at least equal. They had the same coaches so do a number of collabs.
The Philippines is a gold mine of wildly talented yet immensely underrated singers. They don’t get enough recognition from the West imho, majority of them have 10x more vocal talent than the most popular American singers but they somehow still remain under the radar. Morisette will always be one of my favorites, but I didn’t know much about Darren (my only experience with him was from seeing the first video a few months ago) so this was really interesting. Thank you for the analysis Peter! 🫶
he did sang phantom of the opera. you can go search for it cause i think that's the best video you can see as to how his current voice sounds like after maturing 😊
Hi a new subscriber here 😊. If I may give u a suggestion: you should watch him sing phantom of the opera. And if you want to see his range watch his cover of the song Rise up. ( all for one Canada Multiculturalism day performance presented by MYX.) you’ll love it. Darren is amazing, live even better. Had the pleasure to see him in London. Was amazed 👌
Thanks so much for the reaction! I really enjoy watching professional musicians come to know and appreciate artists I myself love. If you’re interested in reacting to more of him I would recommend checking out his birthday medley of This Is Me, Conte Partiro, and Phantom of the Opera. Not only is it more recent, it really showcases his range and vocal abilities. Have a great rest of your week!
First time I have seen you. It is fascinating to hear your evaluation of these singers, and I have learned a lot. What impresses me the most is your great kindness. Thank you Peter.
Amazing talent!! ❤ Man it feels good when you belt notes and nail it; especially at a young age. I had to in drama. And man when I came out by myself and hit my note, I felt powerful hearing throughout the auditorium.... And Peter, I love how we can see you feel the music in your facial expressions.... When are you going to sing "Whole New World" for us?? Or have you?? 🧐
great analysis. you might want to do a voice analysis on Charice- pre female days and when she transitioned into a male. that would be a challenging and yet interesting analysis from you for sure
Thank you Mr Peter🥰 Mori and darren are both from the voice ph🇵🇭 Same coach under Sarah Geronimo..i suggest Magic flute concert singing This is me,Conti partiro and phantom of the opera..if you are interested how his voice now. And chandellier duet with mori Filipinos are really appreciate people who recognize talents.. Higher thank you ❤️
That's an awesome analysis.. I think he's darkening his vowels to sound lower, as his natural voice is very bright. Even now, at age 21? his speaking voice sounds like a little brother, just going with the flow
Disney got Darren and Mori to sing for their film A Whole New World in the Philippine screening and was asked to do near-same pitch as the classic, that explains why both leveled their rendition to the original which was also sang by Filipina Lea Salonga (also the singing voice Mulan in Disney's Reflection. But good that Darren maintained his high range and can even do a stunning whistle in this cover of Phantom of the Opera with two other lady soprano divas live and another one again, with Morisette and please react to that, thank you. Anyways aside from your very enjoyable and educational reviews, you are a hunk cute handsome, charming guy
Heaven is a song of Callum Scott which also features Darren Espanto. It only proves that Darren can also keep up not just locally but also internationally.
Thank you so much... please react to Darren Espanto's Birthday Opera Prod (This is Me, Conte Partiro and The Phantom of the Opera) Thanks in advance... proud DARRENatics here! 💚
I'm new to your channel and love your insight and analysis. I would like to suggest, since Christmas is coming up, that you would react to David Phelps singing, "O Holy Night" live at the Alabama Theater. It's absolutely world class and stunning. He is classically trained, and is said to be the best tenor/male singer on the planet.
Good 👍 Darren Espanto was born in Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦 to Filipino parents 🇵🇭. Morissette Amon and Klarisse de Guzman auditioned for The Voice Philippines in 2013, Espanto and Lyca Gaironod (winner 🏆) for the Kids version in 2014. Zephanie Dimaranan followed in 2015. DimarananauditionedforIdolPhilippinesin 2919 and, as a 16 year old, won 🏆. Pia Banga and Chloe Redondo for the Teens version in 2017. All of them bring in crowds. Here, this episode followed with Amon singing a version with Alan Menken, 1 of the writers of this song, while actor Will Smith watched. Espanto would eventually sing with Callum Scott in summer 2022. I will put throwback videos 📹 of Darren Espanto and others. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Morissette Amon and Darren Espanto sing Chandelier 2 Darren Espanto and Callum Scott sing Heaven 3 Chloe Redondo, Adonis Abunda and Francis Salazar perform Di Mapaliwanag and Akin Ka Na Lang.
Hope you can react to Darren's cover of This is Me, Con te Partiro...this is a more recent video of him at an older age than when he performed in "I believe"...Thank you
Hi Peter, Darren did a collab with Callum Scott , the song is called heaven I think, if you can, please check it out. I wanna know what you think about it . Thank you.
Please check out SB19 Stell "Defying Gravity" Pagtatag manila day 2. He is a main vocalist of a filipino boy group SB19 which is known for their talent in singing and dancing. Hope you can check him out.
Darren has gone to honing his operatic voice side by side with his normal singing style. You can check out the Aces concert with two other powerhouse Filipino singers, Jona and Lani Misalucha.

Darren is sheer talent and God given gift! Was the highest earning child singer in the Philippines. Have grown up to sing all genres including opera and musicals such as Phantom of the Opera etc. Has also become a heartthrob among the young and old as well!
If I was singing with Morrisette I would be smiling also!

Morissette's voice is as incredible as always
As for Darren got to watch watch his collab with Morissette performing Chandelier (impromptu) during the Wish Awards.❤
Darren singing Chandelier is a really good way to see his range better and a bit older, i would pay for that reaction and analysis
A very interesting singer! Thank you for checking this out for us.

Chandelier Showdown - Morissette Amon and Darren Espanto on Wish
great analysis. you might want to do a voice analysis on Charice- pre female days and when she transitioned into a male. that would be a challenging and yet interesting analysis from you for sure
Thank you Mr Peter🥰

Hey Peter! Just an FYI, your link to the original video is pointing to: This Is Halloween IN 30 STYLES | Acapella Cover by Marwan Ayman
That's an awesome analysis.. I think he's darkening his vowels to sound lower, as his natural voice is very bright. Even now, at age 21? his speaking voice sounds like a little brother, just going with the flow
🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️ the original singer was also a Filipina. LEAH SALONGA
If you want to hear more Darren amazing performance go to their duet with morisset chandelier and phamthom of opera by our Darren💚💚💚
