A Filipino woman is in high spirits after doing a random duet with no less than Ben Adams of British boy band A1.
Edith Rodriguez was having a videoke session at a carinderia when Ben entered. Although used to seeing foreigners in her hometown, El Nido, Palawan, she got the surprise of her life when she recognized it was Ben Adams!
Videos of them singing “Like A Rose,” one of his group biggest hit, have gone viral, have earned millions of views and thousands of shares on Facebook.
In a series of posts, Edith described the experience “dream come true.”
“OMG!! Still can’t believe I had a duet with Ben of A1! It’s a dream come true!! I’m still in cloud nine!” she said.
“Thank you @benadamsuk for stopping by and for a quick song for us and a duet! I’m always been fan of A1 and especially you! This such a memorable day for me. Yay!!”
Ben also shared the video on his Twitter, writing: “Dropped in on a karaoker bar for a surprise duet.”
The English singer arrived in the Philippines early this month to promote his holiday single, “This Is Christmas,” sung with Filipino singer Morissette. On Instagram, he posted some of photos of his trip to Palawan with his girlfriend, Sara.
Ben marks his 38th birthday today, Nov. 22.
