I think she really has a good heart. This is because she did not forget the request of the elderlies she took care of to ask for a kiss from Ronan for them. I just thought she could have forgotten that because of the judges' overwhelming response to her.
The only thing I didn't like in the whole video is the judges FIRST reaction. I saw how they judged her base on her look & the way she talks. But I don't know, I laughed when they realize how POWERFUL her voice is, how GREAT her voice is. Maybe, after Mary's perf, they already have a lesson. Don't judge the book by its cover.
By far a stronger audition than Marlisa gave, and yet they completely forgot that during boot camp. Sad, really. But... Mary Ann will have the last laugh and have a longer career and ultimately more success than most who were signed by Sony.
Because philppines is a poor country ... its like we are the performer... and the richer is the user of our work... its like we are always in the adrenaline.... we are always working.. while the rich is just relaxing using that work of ours...
She is a superstar, its a shame she didn't win. She needs to come to the Unites States of America and go on the Voice, she would win for sure. She has that special beautiful voice and can sing anything. Her vibrato is off the charts and people love her!
USA and UK were one of the most discriminative place in the english world. Ausie for me is one of the best. Most polite, most ethical. I just love them to bits and i do hope that this nation wouldn't be tainted with the same culture as with the west.
Once there's a Filipino contestant in any singing competition...it's gonna be an AUTOMATIC WIN!!!...talent wise...no doubt that Filipinos are WORLD CLASS!☺️😍
I don't think I would be able to stop watching this, she sang it like it was her own were Ronan's words and he was right. Simply loved her performance! Thanks Mary Ann.
I've lost count on how many times I came back to watch the video.. love everything about her.. her voice, her stage presence, her accent, her innocence, her smile & whatnot..!!! I am getting more & more amazed as I watch the video again & again... And I subscribed to her channel, of course..
Somehow it feels good to notice how many viewers(and listeners !)feel and do (reviewing over and over) the same as you and I. Exactly, word by word you wrote "my letter". Checking plenty comments, I never found so many people being fascinated not just by a well delivered audition. This video is so much more, it`s a magic monument of beauty and charms.
There is always something about Filipinos when it comes to singing competitions, they rise above. Sadly no matter how great they are no one has become a global sensation. To this day only Lea Salonga made that mark but still not everyone has heard of her. Mary Ann's performance is outstanding and may Filipinos continue to shine.
Everytime a contestants says that they're gonna sing a huge song from highly reputable artists such as Beyonce or Celine Dion, the judges get REALLY weary... Then again, it makes the contestant A HELL of a lot more admirable when they pull it off successfully!
I don't fucking know what's going on this year in Australia, but DAMN SO MANY TALENTS! This would be one of the best X Factors EVER, I mean in the entire WORLD!
I produce music in the industry and im telling u now..this girl gonna win..if not this show, her talent soa4s..she's a winner regardless. I'll produce her. I l8ve her savvy and confidence.
I've seen this video times and times again, and I love it just like the first time. Its very...very, I have no words, its outstanding. Congratulations.
oh wow, I forgot how great she was first time I saw her on live television, I remember I had years of joy, because it was so unexpected,, I followed maryanne , and saw that she was an accomplished, singer and performer, how she hasnt made it into mainstream pop all over the world amazes me,, she absolutely puts many so called stars to shame, what a talent,, all the best maryanne ,,,
Hard work and desire pays off ! Her singing voice is definitely different than her speaking voice - Thanks ! In the Philippines It would be like having a US born citizen get up and sing in Tagalog ! Mahalo !
+guyfanno1 I've always wondered about this. Do you mean that a part of the brain "directs" other of its components in charge of such things to sing the song as it was originally heard?
What makes this performance extraordinary is the quality of the voice done on live stage and not in a studio. No offense meant to the original artist, but I like this better.
Can't get over with this one. Mary Ann, you're the best! The moves, the voice, the personality, i love all of you! 😊 So natural, you nailed it as you said! Awesome! You just made me proud! It's a BIG YES for me😆.
They were all ready to dismiss her because of the way she looked, her accent and her funny story, but then she starts singing and wow :D :D My favorite moment was at 3:49 when the host turns to one of her friends, and her friend looks at him like "you ain't seen nothing yet" :D
"I was not expecting this at all". How disrespectful these judges are... You are there to judge... not being judgemental because of what you see him/her physically. Pathetic Idiots
Joe Panique is just ignorant of what that phrase " I was not expecting this at all" means to English speaking people. To Panique it's an insult. lol To those judges it means "unbelievable or amazing". It's a great compliment!!!
Maryann,i am very proud of you..not only with your powerful voice but most of it for being a very honest and natural person! ignore those negative comments from here,there's just some people be happy by insulting others than to keep their mouth close to avoid offending and hurting people with their nega comments..dont stop dreamin and keep singing! ALL FILIPINO LOVES YOU! JUST ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THAT!!!

That was not an audition. That was a concert.
Outstanding!
I met her at a gig and performed with her! She is the nicest person you will meet
It’s 2024 and is still watching 👀
Me.too ❤❤❤ so proud of her. The reaction of Ronan Keating as well. Haha
Same. Haha
same here
@@jay-arperez5974 yes I am
Me too,love it
This audition literally never gets old. Spectacular performance and hilarious intro. My fav audition of all time in any shows.
Smart sexy😂❤
❤❤🎉
You have a baby baby nice boys I like a voice good luck
I love her dress, her personality, her sense of humor, the fact that she works with the elderly, and, of course, I love her voice!
I'm proud filipino
agree, in Filipina she is above average.
@@samsonparinas2 Un de
I think she really has a good heart. This is because she did not forget the request of the elderlies she took care of to ask for a kiss from Ronan for them. I just thought she could have forgotten that because of the judges' overwhelming response to her.
Its crazy how her accent goes away when she starts singing
***** No way in hell she sang that better than Beyonce, please reevaluate your life.
Damn Im Good she is better than Beyonce. My ears and heart don't lie!
Damn Im Good
Way better than Beyonce!
This was perfection on Halo
Damn Im Good all she needs is practice. She has a good voice.
Damn Im Good
Ikr, it's amazing
I agree with the comment that this audition never gets old, I’ve watched her over & over. What a talented girl!!!!❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
You don't underestimate a Filipino in a singing contest 💕
Bwaaaahahahaha really were you from my ma'am?
💯
Time and time again I come back to listen to her beautiful and powerful voice.
Me Too… she is fantastically WONDERFUL!!!! I’ve replayed this audition DAILY!!!!
Absolutely LOVE 💕 HER!!
Me too!
One of my fav audition. Her low register is on point and her runs on the last part of Halo is superb. Nobody have yet to match that!
I lived in the Philippines for four years when I was a child and I always found that Filipinos are an intrinsically musical people.
Because music love we sing from our heart.
She owned the stage.The moment she sung, accent’s gone
Crazy Bob from New York best audition I ever seen she's very polished and approachable
I just cannot get enough of this song with you Mary Ann!!!!
The only thing I didn't like in the whole video is the judges FIRST reaction. I saw how they judged her base on her look & the way she talks. But I don't know, I laughed when they realize how POWERFUL her voice is, how GREAT her voice is. Maybe, after Mary's perf, they already have a lesson. Don't judge the book by its cover.
That's in their BLOOD.
But the way Ronan said "I was so wrong" @ 6:27 , he really meant it. You can see it in his face. So I can still respect him for that..
It's because she said that her husband gets annoyed when she sings. That in itself would lead ANYONE to think that she was a bad singer.
By far a stronger audition than Marlisa gave, and yet they completely forgot that during boot camp. Sad, really. But... Mary Ann will have the last laugh and have a longer career and ultimately more success than most who were signed by Sony.
X factor Australia judges are pretty judging.
My nth time to watch this very beautiful audition by a Filipina Mary Ann Van Der Horst. Another big WOW for you.
Why are Filipinos such good singers
amazing rendition
because singing is our hobby
john paul hernandez true during bath time..hahaha even when i am mad i sing then my anger will go away 😂
Because philppines is a poor country ... its like we are the performer... and the richer is the user of our work... its like we are always in the adrenaline.... we are always working.. while the rich is just relaxing using that work of ours...
sunjay sharma ikr
A microphone is a like a magic wand to Filipinos. They do amazing ish with that thing.
+Beth Loggins Well maybe they should wave it and get their children off the garbage dumps!
maybe you should not judge people,,,
+STOP POPULATION GROWTH STERILISE wow i don't know what to tell a sad fellow like you dude
Just accept the fact that filipinas are good in singing,smart and talented..peaceyow!😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
She was just simply amazing. Everyone watching her on stage didn't see that coming. They've been blown by her talent. Wow! Just wow!
J ni 7n😮
She is a superstar, its a shame she didn't win. She needs to come to the Unites States of America and go on the Voice, she would win for sure. She has that special beautiful voice and can sing anything. Her vibrato is off the charts and people love her!
nope, many people in america is always have a discrimination to the Filipino
+jacob alfonso Well, here's one who doesn't. Nor do I know any fellow Americans who do!!
USA and UK were one of the most discriminative place in the english world. Ausie for me is one of the best. Most polite, most ethical. I just love them to bits and i do hope that this nation wouldn't be tainted with the same culture as with the west.
+HisAmbassador yeah i agree... aussies are polite and nicer than the Westerners.
HisAmbassador lol wtf no Australians are the most racist people ever
I love watching this over and over again because of Ronan's reaction, hehe
jansept vargas .. hahaha. 😂
jansept vargas I watch it too. They just have it in them.
Me too

I watched & keept on repeating & repeating her audition it was very lovely & full of encouragement, determination as well.

I like your comments here. I agree with you 100%.
Thank you! I like your comments too!
This is why you should never judge a book by its cover
I keep coming to this Audition my favourite one 😅😆😂😍
Ronan’s face after she starts singing is priceless...this is what he was like 😱🤩
3:57
I love the way she moves her body,
I am going to hit the replay button till it reaches 9M views...
Christian Gutierrez It hasnt reach yet lol . So where are you?

Wow, hope you keep your word... thousands would love to hear her sing more. Sad she didn't make it to boot camp.
roseUj 123 what? u sure? that's sad
Rick Gabz Very sure. She did well, in my opinion, but the judges seem to have ignored that. Many are confused!
really i hope she can make it to the top coz she is honest and down to earth
Wow I keep come back to watch again and again. What a talent! ❤
...she has a comic personality as well...simple jokes with good timing and punchline..."He looks good" 😁😁😁
oneof the best auditions of all time.
i love how honest she is. :)
What a beautiful soul. I come here, when I need a lift, or just for the joy. You are a delight, Mary Ann.
I've seen this video times and times again, and I love it just like the first time. Its very...very, I have no words, its outstanding. Congratulations.
Paulo Jesus me too

Wow! Real talent, don't worry about the english language. Girl can sing.
Yes !
Its amazing though, that regardless of a person's accent, their singing voice and accents are totally different!
The12Fly Hi just wanted to say that speech and singing are controlled by two different parts of the brain its amazing.
+guyfanno1 I've always wondered about this. Do you mean that a part of the brain "directs" other of its components in charge of such things to sing the song as it was originally heard?
She is so talented, and she got so much charisma and personality. Love her voice, and her too.❤
Can't stop watching her version! Makes me cry . . .
She sounded very provincial but as soon as she sings, the accent change to perfection! The voice!👋
Provincial😝
Powerful ,amazing voice ms mary ann van der horst ,god bless
I love the way she sings simplicity I and very vocal,I keep watching this video every now and then,very nice to watched.💞

"I was not expecting this at all". How disrespectful these judges are... You are there to judge... not being judgemental because of what you see him/her physically. Pathetic Idiots
Jose Panique They were not doing it because of looks they just thought she wasn't serious.
Who said it was the looks?
Jose Panique You did. "Because of what you SEE PHYSICALLY......" You are referring to looks.
Jose Panique,they racist foreign singing contest..they van all pilipino artist to let in into the finals.
Joe Panique is just ignorant of what that phrase " I was not expecting this at all" means to English speaking people. To Panique it's an insult. lol To those judges it means "unbelievable or amazing". It's a great compliment!!!
Listening to her version of halo is so addictive....
best "halo" version 😃
I really love her. Her voice and personality.
Maryann,i am very proud of you..not only with your powerful voice but most of it for being a very honest and natural person! ignore those negative comments from here,there's just some people be happy by insulting others than to keep their mouth close to avoid offending and hurting people with their nega comments..dont stop dreamin and keep singing! ALL FILIPINO LOVES YOU! JUST ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THAT!!!
She was very good. Exceptionally good!! And very beautiful. A1 singer
I am Rwandan! I come to love this talented girl!
