2 Kids Sing “You Raise Me Up” And Then Hundreds More Join In

When a song can evoke such deep and intense emotion that resonates with different kinds of people from every corner of the world, there’s bound to be multiple covers! From the words to the melody to the way the song naturally flows and leaves a lasting impression, you know you have a hit on your hands when people are racing to sing it.

The song “You Raise Me Up” has been performed by countless professional and non-professional singers. First made famous by Josh Groban in 2003, the song has garnered international appeal and renditions, most notably from Irish band Westlife.

At the 2017 Miss World Pageant held in Sanya, China, there was a lot of beauty and talent on display for the world to see! But beside the 117 glimmering contestants, two child performers really stuck out. Jeffrey Li, 10, and Celine Tam, 7, are two little powerhouses that walked on stage to blow everyone away.

Don’t let their stature and age fool you. These two kids have pipes that rival some of the greats! With so much potential and passion, this is only the beginning for Jeffrey and Celine, and quite honestly, they are on the road to perfection! Jeffrey and Celine are brought onto the massive stage, and introduced before the music starts. The beautiful host in a long, sparkling beige evening gown is on stage with Humanitarian Award Winner, Reverend Father Marciano “Rocky” Evangelista. His work through the Tuloy Foundation has helped thousands of street children in the Phillippines find purpose after their broken start to life. Father Rocky has made “You Raise Me Up” the theme song for the children, and Celine and Jeffrey are brought on stage to sing it for him as a tribute – a beautiful way to thank him for what he has done to give so many lives a second chance.

The kids’ performance is nothing short of breathtaking. Together, their voices are impactful and strong, creating a sense of unison and beauty with their complementing melody and harmony. As if their two voices weren’t enough, the screen behind Jeffrey and Celine lights up with the faces of hundreds of the saved children from the foundation, all together bringing the already emotional song to a whole other level. It’s a truly heartfelt performance for a man who has given his life to helping others in need. The look on his face shows just how much this beautiful performance is pulling at his heartstrings!
