Erik Santos to Sing during the Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremonies

[4jpz]

Filipino balladeer Erik Santos is tapped by the Beijing Olympics Games organizers to perform two songs during the closing ceremonies on September 24, 2008. The organizers are said to have requested him to sing R Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly and Martin Nievera's This Is The Moment, his winning piece during his bout in abs-cbn's Star In A Million contest in 2004.

oh wow! this is cool!. its an overwhelming to hear such kind of news. im proud of him and so as to the athletes.

Dang! The performance of Erik wasn't shown in the ceremonies... maybe it's for the closing concert wherein other representatives from other countries will also perform for the athletes...

Well, I saw Rain sing with some Chinese performers... but on another site, his management kept mum on his performance, just saying that it'll be something to look forward to. I don't think they're talking about that performance with the Chinese singers, though...
