First Facebook nuts. Now Twitter. The internet is seriously flipping over this homeless lady that got caught singing "like an angel" and people are demanding to know who she is.
Do you have any idea why she is literally bringing tears to people? ( It’s like Susan Boyle x 100!!! ) It all started with the POLICE...
Officers in Los Angeles caught her singing for dollars but instead of arresting her… they took a video and uploaded it. They had no idea what was about to happen.
"4 million people call LA home. 4 million stories. 4 million voices...sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one, to hear something beautiful,” the LAPD. This is the understatement of the year. Just look at what happened next...
In a very short time, the video got over 5,000 likes and 2,000 shares (which totally surprised the police). People demanded answers on social media… Who is she?
The video turned into a steamroller and took over Twitter within hours. We were stunned by the Twitter account Atlantide -- who revealed her true identity.
The Atlantide shared the video of the mysterious woman on their Twitter page and it got a whopping 6,000+ retweets and over 27,000 likes.
Once people understood her story, their true social agendas started leaking out on Twitter. Reactions were seriously mixed ( SHOCK! )
One user even suggested that people should try helping homeless people that don’t have any special talents too. “Donate to your local shelter. Nobody deserves to be homeless,” @soozical wrote. It doesn’t stop there...
Another user expressed their frustration about the Healthcare system -- and how easy it is for other people to become homeless because of medical bills -- and that it’s likely that it can be any of us next time.
“A reminder that the vast majority of us are one medical emergency away from ending up on the same streets we vilify the homeless for being on,” @BienSur_JeTaime said. In the face of the reactions… there’s one burning question driving the tweetstorms.
SERIOUSLY…. Who is this lady, and why do we love her so much?
Here’s why we love it! It’s actually a famous Opera song, and you’ve probably heard it before.
It’s called “O Mio Babbino Caro” by famous opera singer Puccini. It’s one of the most recognized opera songs… but how did she know it?
Turns out she grew up dreaming to become a successful musician.
Unfortunately, her dream didn’t take off as smoothly as she hoped when she came to America…
Internet detectives found out her name is Emily Zamourka and she was born in Russia. She was trained as a classical musician. But her heart demanded she brings her music to the United States.
Unfortunately, she hit a common problem that is plaguing all Americans today.
Did you know that there are tens of thousands of people living on the streets today because they can’t pay their medical bills?
Medical debt drove her -- like many others -- to the floors of the Los Angeles Subway. If only her bad luck ended there! Something important of hers was stolen!
Here’s what we couldn’t have known by watching her viral video.
Singing isn’t even her primary talent. It’s Violin! At 24 years old, she would give violin and piano lessons to get by. She would also play her violin on the streets of Los Angeles -- until it got stolen and she had nothing left but her voice. Luckily, people noticed and things are finally turning around...
When her violin got stolen, Emily used her second most important instrument to captivate people with her music…her voice!
“You know why I do it [sing] in the subway? Because it sounds so great,” she explained. Nice! She then confessed something truly heartbreaking about her living conditions.

Thanks to her newfound fame, A LOT of people are demanding this lady GET PAID!
Emily was so talented that one user was convinced that she deserves to be booked for her performance… Some people actually called the record labels and demanded Spotify put her on… but what would they say?
Believe it or not, a famous Hollywood singer and actress saw Emily’s performance and you’ll be surprised by her reaction to Emily’s subway performance.
It was none other than the glamorous singer and actress Kristin Chenoweth! Kristin has brought music to millions in the shows Glee, Wicked! And Disney’s Descendents. And we could NOT look away from Kristin’s reaction.
Emily’s performance made Kristin’s jaw drop. Emily’s singing was so good that Kristin couldn’t help but sing along while watching the video. You wouldn’t believe what Kristin answered when she was asked: “does Emily have what it takes?”…
“Yeah, actually she can have her own little concert career,” Kristin said. “Emily the opera singer, I just want to say to you, you better continue on, okay?” Kristin added.
But this keeps getting bigger... it seems Emily’s dreams of becoming a successful musician aren’t that far from reality after all.
