Elaine Duran fascinates Mariah Carey with her impressive ‘My All’ rendition
Filipina singer Elaine Duran has made it to an instant global spotlight after her excellent song cover got noticed by none other than Mariah Carey.
Duran, known for her impressive vocals, not long ago sang Carey’s hit song titled “My All.” A certain broadcasting and media company with almost 800k followers on Instagram then featured this particular cover. It was posted as part of what seems to be a song challenge dedicated to the iconic piece.
To everyone’s surprise, what happened next was an Instagram story from the Supreme Songbird herself, expressing delight in the rendition. Carey reshared the post to her account by penning a short acknowledgment that quickly made headlines among the Filipino community.
“She killed it!!! Wow!!!” said the internationally acclaimed singer famed for her five-octave vocal range. Carey released “My All” in 1997 as part of her sixth studio album “Butterfly.” With the moniker of “Queen of Christmas,” she is also behind the hits “Always Be My Baby,” “Hero,” and “Emotions.”
On September 30, Duran took to a social update to react to being recognized by one of her biggest idols and inspiration in music.
