A South African guy has shocked the internet with his singing skills. The musical hopeful is seen in a video circulating on social media singing along to a gospel track.
The Twitter account holder, @ThusoWorldWide, dropped a clip on his timeline and many will recognise the legendary group, International Pentecostal Church Choir, widely known as IPCC.
However, the guy’s singing skills have somehow disappointed his followers. Many feel the guy’s rendition could also hurt the feelings of the group’s leading vocalist, Emma Mkhwanazi, who is dubbed one of the finest singers in Mzansi.

Looking at related stories about music fails, Briefly News reported that a young South African woman recently headed to Twitter to share a video clip of a man and a woman singing a Xhosa song together.
In the clip, the man compliments the woman's voice with a guitar. "Rent free," @Zimmie_ captioned the video of the songbirds.
Locals did not seem to like it and made this increasingly clear in the comment section of the post. Many of them thought that the woman was not pronouncing the Xhosa lyrics with the accent they deserve.
