However, in a musical performance that no one saw coming, vocalist, Sephy Francisco stunned everyone, including the famed Simon Cowell, by singing a fantastic rendition of a timeless duet during her audition.

The judges were taken aback when the 27-year-old Filipina singer unexpectedly sang a solo duet to the tune ‘The Prayer.’ The wonderful moment occurs when she perfectly switches between feminine and male parts.
