'Who Is This Kid?!' Sam Smith Reacts to Filipino Student's Cover of His Song

Grammy winner and international hitmaker Sam Smith reacted to a viral social media video showing a Filipino student belting out his hit song, "Too Good at Goodbyes." 

"Who is this kid?!" Smith posted in a tweet, referring to Carl Malone Montecido, the "Blind Balladeer" who joined ABS-CBN's Tawag ng Tanghalan in 2016. "You are out of this universe, whoever you are!" adds Smith.
