MANILA, Philippines – Singer Jessie J performed in Manila on December 10 and The Voice Kids Philippines season one runner-up Darren Espanto was her opening act.
Jessie’s Manila concert, which was free for 1,000 Smart Communications subscribers, was held at the KIA Theatre.
The last time Jessie was here in 2014, she brought The Voice of the Philippines runner-up Morissette Amon onstage too, and even sang a duet with her. (IN PHOTOS: Jessie J live in Manila)
Darren shared some photos, and even a conversation he had with Jessie on Instagram.
The 14-year-old Pinoy singer admitted being “starstruck” by Jessie, who chatted with him and even posted some snapchat videos of them together.
According to Darren, Jessie told him that his cover of Sia’s “Chandelier” was “amazing.” The video of that cover has gotten more than 6 million views on YouTube today, and it was praised by singer and rapper Nicki Minaj, and actor Ashton Kutcher.
During the concert, Jessie saluted Darren as he recorded her performance of “Masterpiece.”
As Jessie’s opening act, Darren performed his “Chandelier” cover.
He also sang Fantasia Barrino’s “I Believe.”
