Youtube singing sensation Maria Aragon, Filipio-Canadian of Winnipeg, Canada appeared ABC’s morning news and talk show “Good Morning America” (GMA) in New York City on Thursday. It’s another wonderful experience for Maria Aragon, a 10 year old instant singing sensation when she was discovered by Lady Gaga upon singing Born this Way. Miss Gaga is the songwriter who wrote Born this Way.
As expected, Maria Aragon was overwhelmed and filled with excitement during and after the show. She again performed her cover of “Born This Way” after the interview afterwards. The show was broadcasted on a giant screen in the famous Times Square. GMA anchor George Stephanopoulos said he was totally amazed by the 10-year old girl’s talent, according to a story posted by CBC News Canada.
“I have to tell you, they were playing that out over Times Square. And while you were playing I think the traffic stopped all over Times Square this morning. That was so fantastic,” he said.
Aragon received another gift after the show. This time though, a 6 month worth of piano lessons.
“You taught yourself how to arrange this song, but you’ve never actually had piano lessons. So we at GMA wanted to give you 6 months of piano lessons for coming on (the show),” Stephanopoulos said.
Aragon started gaining popularity and fame (an overnight fame) when her cover of “Born This Way” touched the heart of no less than the writer of the song, Lady Gaga a week ago. Lady Gaga disclosed via twitter that she was indeed touched and even described the young Filipina as “the future.”
The video of Maria Aragon performing Born this Way already surpassed 13 million views as of this writing.
Maria Aragon, a typical Filipina as evidenced by her looks, features, and color, is set to sing with Lady Gaga on March 3 in the international singer’s Toronto concert.
Good Morning America is the second major appearance (the other one was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show) of Maria Aragon on TV in the land of free and home of the brave – USA.
