Ariana Grande Makes TNT Boys' Dreams Come True When She Surprises Them on 'Late Late Show'
On Tuesday night, the Filipino boy band TNT Boys, who are currently competing on The World’s Best, visited James Corden's talk show. They performed “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” from Dreamgirls, but not before gushing about their excitement to meet Corden. Not because they are particularly huge fans of the late-night host, but because he had met their idol -- Ariana Grande.
Then, as the trio, made up of Keifer Sanchez, 15, Mackie Empuerto, 14, and Francis Concepcion, 13, sang their way through the classic track, they were joined onstage by Grande herself!
Watching the teens attempt to finish the song while containing their disbelief at meeting one of their favorite singers is both impressive and completely moving.
The 25-year-old songstress gently nudged the boys to complete the song between hugs, while also offering some vocal support throughout the soaring Broadway track.
“I’m obsessed with you guys, you’re so incredible,” Grande told the boys after they’d finished, which left them wonderfully dumbfounded all over again.

In his interview prior to the trio’s performance on “The Late Late Show,” James recalled his meeting with the boys at the backstage of “The World’s Best,” where Francis’ first words to him were “Oh my God, you’ve met Ariana Grande.”
Recently, the TNT Boys received a standing ovation in the show after they performed Beyonce’s “Listen.”
The boys moved on to the next round of “The World’s Best” after they wowed its American judges Faith Hill, RuPaul, and Drew Barrymore, as well as the show’s "wall of the world," which is composed of 50 of the world's most accomplished experts from every field of entertainment.
The TNT Boys was the grand winner of the second season of ABS-CBN's “Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids.”
Before becoming a group, Mackie, Keifer, and Francis first impressed viewers as grand finalists in “Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids” on ABS-CBN. They were officially launched as a trio in 2017, and have since sung for international audiences in “Little Big Shots” US, UK, and Australia and have performed for several head of states, including Pres. Rodrigo Duterte, Singaporean president Halimah Yacob, and Papua New Guinea prime minister Peter O’ Neill.
