Been wondering what is happening on Filipino television? Wonder no more. They’re dressing up pre-pubescent boys to look like The Bee Gees and then having them cover the band’s 1979 hit, “Too Much Heaven.”
I kid you not. Just look:
This clip is from Your Face Sounds Familiar, a show that features celebrities impersonating singers. When not in disco clothes, the trio of young men — Francis Concepcion, Mackie Empuerto and Kiefer Sanchez — are in their own band called the TNT Boys. They recently made an appearance on the UK edition of Little Big Shots.
Incidentally, TNT stands for Tawag ng Tanghalan which is the amateur singing competition show where they were discovered.
Their performance reminded me of this video of Echo, that 7-year-old Filipino boy from a few year’s back who sang “More Than a Woman” with his dad.
