Guess who’s making news in Singapore?
A young man who needs only to board the MRT and find a few feet of space near the doors and a pole (optional) for some extra theatrics and posing, has been entertaining daily commuters with his almost pitch-perfect renditions of Tamil songs, much to the amusement of his co-travellers.
Watch him sing with absolute gusto, with “full feeling”, as we say in India
Further research reveals that he’s not just musically talented, but also is a force to reckon with when he’s doing nothing. Yes, that’s right – when he’s not inside the train carriage singing everyone’s blues away, he’s seen standing still in a variety of poses in the terminals.
Ha ha! I want to meet this guy and shake his hand.
My colleague in Singapore, Ewen, writes about this happening wannabe on Singapore’s Fit to Post:
The MRT train carriage is this man’s stage as he puts on an entertaining Bollywood-worthy performance for his fellow commuters.
Spotted several times by netizens who’ve seen his video, the man’s popularity is soaring on social media websites such as YouTube and Facebook.

What do you think? Is this guy a superstar in the making?
