If you want to see a spot-on interpretation of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” you don’t really need to look very much further than this unidentified boy in Brazil. The lad takes on one of the late entertainer’s signature tunes and wrings every bit of emotion from it. How many times has this kid watched The Bodyguard? Those hand movements are flawless!
Don’t walk away… watch this kid belt it out below.

Damn gurrrrrl…. Sang it!

Sing on muchacha. I know ol’ Castanuella’s of Queerty (she claims she is Colombian but actually Mexican as we have all figured out) is jealous because you can put on a dress, high heels (and I bet YOU look nice in one too) AND sing.

beautiful

Fish!

Shame we don’t know who he is or where to find him. This is a video I’d submit to the casting depart for next season’s The Voice.

Nothing special. Sounded like he was shrieking a few times. He’s just loud and has perfected Whitney Houston’s hand gestures.
Rafael Seda
Wow! So talented !
Gavin Fitch
Holy smokes!

How exactly does a person sing his or her face off?
Bernard Lanthier
Extrodinaire. Le premier gars qui chante un chanson de Whitney Houston et qui me donne des frissons partout sur le corps. Je comprends pas pourquoi il à pas été découvert.
Aron Marks
Like that

Very very good job. If someone knows him, they should send his name to Sony. Dude has pipes. Very impressive.
Mark Dylan Price
WOW this is the best I’ve ever heard someone singing a whitney song

i mean he was pretty good; certainly much better than I could ever do but I went to a drag show in Puerto Rico earlier this year and one of the performers sang this song and would’ve run circles around this boy.
Mark Scott Arellano
Clearly he usually does this in drag…he has amazing mannerisms for stage!!
blackberry finn
Charm offensive!
Blazipitous
Meh! Gay dudes will support anything that has a penis and identifies as gay (I’m assuming he does), but that’s certainly so bleh, I won’t even watch it.
Bob Weber
This boy should be on The Ellen DeGeneres Show!!!

@Blazipitous: Excuse me “Macho Man,” but what are you doing on this blog?

This guy sings this song better than most. There are times he actually sounds very much like Whitney. But the phenomenal thing is the fact that he is channeling her movements and expressions.
I have never seen anyone come this close to mimicking her expressions, head turns and nods, blinks, side glances, hand and arm gestures, bending at the knee, working with the mic, turning away from the mic stand, breathing, everything.
David Haslitt
WOW!
Gil Rose
Stunning tribute to Whitney. Throw on wig and some sequence and he’s a dead ringer!
HO Weng Choy
Fantastic voice,feeling that sent the message of love right to the heart of the listener and a showmanship, stylish that can always remember, congratulation! Hope to hear more of you.
Sluggo2007
He was very good but he is no Whitney.
Rixter Mixter
Look out Ray Farrelly she’s been reincarnated !

That really pushed his vocals but it was fantastic.

His name is Makem Oliveira, he’s 23, and is from the state of Ceará.
Here is another video of him, https://youtu.be/ZJC_Nf3j1xM , this time singing “The Greatest Love of All”, also from Whitney Houston.
