Thailand’s Got Talent, the local version of the worldwide TV franchise, has kicked off to nationwide acclaim. And just as the show has changed its format slightly to take Thai audiences into consideration, many of the talents have a distinctly Thai flavor.
The first round isn’t even over and already there have been more than a few unique, fantastic and "WTF is that?" performances.
Here are our six favorites to date, starting with the transgender who won a ton of praise for her vocal switcheroo.
1. Girl meets boy
Everyone's in for a surprise when this lovely lady breaks into song.
Bell, 27, starts out singing in a beautiful soft voice. But just wait till this clip hits the 1:04 mark and things get much, much deeper.
2. One-handed guitarist
The day after this audition aired, people all over Thailand were talking about 29-year-old Somsak's heartbreaking story and his amazing skills.
Somsak lost the use of his left arm in a 2001 traffic accident in which his mother was also killed.
But that didn't stop the avid guitarist from overcoming his tragedy and teaching himself to play with just one hand. One warning: it's a tearjerker.
3. Universal pageantry, ladyboy style
It wouldn't be a Thai talent show without a hot ladyboy cabaret style performance. If you've always wanted to see a group of katoeys in high heels do back handsprings in unison, this is your video.
