[@jannocastillo504]

u r unreal

[@JustineAprilJ]

the way I IMMEDIATELY looked for his rendition on yt after we watched Miss Saigon last month but there was none?? thank god for this lmao also hi abigail :")

[@congminhhoang1361]

I am Vietnamese. I listen to this song many times. He is the first foreign singer who pronounce the word "Bui Doi" exactly same with the native speakers.

[@babblerscorner]

Thank you for this comment. I learned something new today after hearing this song for so many years.

[@aluxious]

I am curious from a Vietnamese POV whether the plot of Miss Saigon, in general, offends them. So far what I see is that most of the criticisms are from the non-Vietnamese population. I am hesitant in inviting a Vietnamese colleague to watch this show, for example.

[@martingabrielrivera7115]

believe me, this gets 100x better live and experienced, that's how awesome his voice is!

[@miksUSA777]

Experiencing talent is on another level ❤

[@michellequah1261]

Completely agree! Just saw him in Singapore

[@benp3485]

This guy better win a Tony, what an incredible voice and technique. He sustained those notes with such stability and conviction. Thank you Wish Bus for featuring amazing Theater Singers like This Guy. Definitely a Superstar in the Making. 🎉

[@joannamanalo6078]

the best rendition of Bui Doi, out of the many John’s I’ve heard in the past. the power, vocal technique, and emotion are unparalleled.

[@ednamode4833]

Am a huge Miss Saigon fan and have seen the show 5x in various locations. I was never into this song but his performance made me like it for the very first time! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@nuwebster8339]

He's not just an amateur singer, he's professionally awesome. I like his Baritone Voice, pure & crystal clear

[@JulesGuiang]

Watched him in Manila and just a few days ago in Singapore! My god, his consistency is next level!!!

[@jojobuenaflor3568]

My goodness at first i thought it was going to be a weak ordinary rendition but he ended it like the best rendition of bui doi i've ever heard. This guy is a star in his own right. Goosebumps!

[@arbymacapanas2369]

I've watched him on the MS' premiere, and this song brought tears to me and goosebumps to the whole theater. What an amazing song sung by such an amazing person.

[@marcusvonhohenlohe]

Simply because he’s NOT that great.

[@wodles]

@@marcusvonhohenlohe off you go , show us your live radio recording! can’t wait to see it!

[@CefStuff]

Not many appreciate musical theater songs with this kind of singing, I guess.

[@Spidermattttt]

Yeah, I guess so. Maybe his version is pop-ish...

[@CefStuff]

[@Kzrlian]

They're called Bui-Doi The Dust of life Concieved in hell And born is strife They are the the living reminders Of all the good we failed to do We can't forget Must not forget That they are all Our children too Like all survivors, I once thought When I'm home I won't give a damn But now I know I'm caught I'll never leave Vietnam War isn't over when it ends Some pictures never leave you mind They are the faces of the children The ones we left behind They're called Bui-Doi The dust of life Concieved in hell And born in strife They are the living reminders Of all the good we failed to do We can't forget Must not forget That they are all Our children too These kids hit walls on every side They don't belong in any place Their secret they can't hide Its printed on their face I never thought I'd plead For half-breeds from a land that's torn But then I saw a camp for children Whose crime was being born They're called Bui-Doi The dust of life Concieved in hell And born in strife We owe them fathers, and a family - And loving home they never knew Because we know Deep in our hearts That they are all Our children too These are souls in need They need us to give Someone has to pay For their chance to life Help me try They're called Bui-Doi The dust of life Concieved in hell And born in strife They are the living reminders Of all the good we failed to do That's why we know Deep in our hearts That they are all Our children too
