Imagine seeing him sing at a concert and then the next day see him randomly singing on the street, I would be loosing it but trying to keep it cool omg

[@danielasaveva7594]

He is amazing guy. Very good soul💙

[@EinarAmaru]

I'd still be losing my mind. since I started following him I became a big fan of him and his songs

[@7amaniR]

Losing*

[@canaan6030]

Yeah that sounds like 99.9 percent of fans

[@wudsoncunha]

Simmmm

[@thegirlwiththescarf]

Honestly, if Alec sang for me, he’d have to sing like at least 5 more songs before I could let him go lmao 😭😭

[@fusionfromtheheart8065]

Same 🥲

[@eh-yb8ev]

Yes.

[@ShreshthaGusain]

Then he’d have to sing let me down ‘fastly’ 😂

[@eeurr1306]

well yeah hes nervous lol

[@cheyennetremolada7433]

This man has almost 5 million followers on KZbin, almost 2 million on Instagram, and almost 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify, does concerts world wide, sold out and his songs are known all around the world. And he still goes around streets asking to sing to people in the most respectful way, doesn’t expect anyone to recognize him, takes photos even with people who didn’t recognize him at all until he said his name, loves singing more than he cares about “fame” and is generally the kindest human being. I know so many singers/famous people with half his followers who go around with bodyguards and disregard fans, while he just goes around just like that. I’m so proud to be his fan, for years and years now, I’ve loved and adored him and his music and no matter how far he goes he’s still the same nice guy asking to sing for people on the street. Also It would be so embarrassing to not recognize him until he says his name and then ask him for a photo, like what for when you don’t even remember his face?😂😅

[@sparklingwater8047]

Yes!

[@listen2corona]

Top comment right there. Loved everything you said

[@JM-hu3pk]

Same.

[@jasyw]

​@SparklingWater Same here. Honestly Alec is one of the very few singers that I actually know how he looks like 😅 (I didn't know how dua lipa looked like until recently)

[@sarahizabela4608]

escuto constantemente a música dele, mas com certeza eu não o reconheceria ao olhar pra ele, e depois de começar a cantar eu ainda poderia ficar com duvida mesmo assim, mas não reconhecer ele não me impede de ser apaixonada na voz dele e querer ir em um show dele logo

[@GalaxyGrace05]

It’s a crime how underrated he is. I can’t believe only a few knew who he was😂

[@Reverie_24]

It's saddening how very few people recognized him. Alec's got insane talent and it needs to be acknowledged

[@fizzyb0mb]

I've got face blindness due to adhd but the moment he started singing I'd recognize that voice immediately haha. Truly wish more people knew of his music though.

[@aolong1383]

Well it's an asian non-english country across the pacific ocean form america. That much of recognization is indeed still awesome

[@savvasf7136]

It's freaking Korea, people probably listen to BTS and other stuff

[@angelinabluecount3842]

let me down slowly..... is the most populer i think in Asia, but some people regognize the song but not the original singer.

If he asked me if he could sing for me I would ask him to play like 20 of his songs before he could go LOL💓

okay, but they might be going somewhere. if you were rushing to meet with your friend and someone you didn't know asked if they could sing for you, would you stop just for them? most people didn't know him.
