A young woman named Zendee Rose Tenerefe gained significant fame by becoming known as the random girl who graced a packed mall in southeast Asia with her insane vocal gift.
Perfectly belting out Dolly Parton’s iconic song “I Will Always Love You,” Zendee took the Whitney Houston approach to this timeless ballad.
Equipped with nothing more than a microphone and karaoke machine, the talented young girl absolutely floored oncoming shoppers and mall workers.
As the clip went viral, the Filipino singing sensation appeared on the television shows X Factor and The Ellen Show, as well as skyrocketed her fanbase!
