February 26, 2011 · Posted in Philippine Music

This sensational 10 year old kid Maria Aragon who sang her own version of Lady Gaga’s Born This Way has caught the attention of many YouTube viewers and was praised by Lady Gaga on Twitter which brought tears to her eyes while watching the video. “She is the future,” Gaga tweeted.

Maria uploaded this video on her sister’s YouTube channel in just a week or two performing Born This Way by Lady Gaga and garnered 10 million views on YouTube in just five days. In the 6th day, this video had reached up to 12 million views on YouTube.

Maria grew up and lives in Winnipeg, Canada but her parents are both Filipinos. She was born on July 17, 2000 and started her passion in music when she was a child. Aside from that, she also likes to paint and draw and do the school activities. This kid is very religious too and put God in above all things.

Recently, Maria was welcomed in Ellen DeGeneres Show on their Tuesday episode.

“It’s not every day that you get feedback from a superstar saying that you did great on a cover that’s her song.” said Aragon in the interview with DeGeneres. “We talked and she was actually having a bad day and I made her day, which was really overwhelming because it’s not every day that you get to talk to a superstar.”

Last week, Lady Gaga also invited Aragon to have a duet with her on her upcoming March concert in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre.
