Reggie Ramirez, a Contestant on Pilipinas Got Talent Wowed the Judges with Double Look and Amazing Voice

Just as Lin Yu Chun wowed the judges with his performance of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You on Taiwanese talent show Super Star Avenue (超級星光大道), Reggie Ramirez has wowed the judges and audience with his performance of Endless Love on the Philippines show Pilipinas Got Talent.

Reggie Ramirez, 34, lives in Davo City and said he went on the show to find his long-lost brother according to AOL News. His performance is even more unique however as he performs as half man and half woman and has the dual voices to match.

Endless Love is a duet and Ramirez sings both the male and female part, turning towards the audience to show that side of his dress and face when he is singing the corresponding part.

His stunning performance has lead people to speculate of what sex the singer could be, with some wondering if he is both.

Dr. William Turner, an expert on gender dynamics and author of the 2000 book "A Genealogy of Queer Theory" (Temple University Press), says it's possible that Ramirez is intersexed, a condition that occurs when a person is born with atypical genitals that can be mistaken for either male or female.

However, it is very possible that Ramirez is a man and just has the ability to sing high like a woman. Dr. Turner suggests that Ramirez is a drag queen as he chooses to blur the line between the two genders and does not pick one to identify over the other.

Either way, Reggie Ramirez's performance is well worth a look so watch the video below:
