Nagulat po ako nagre-rehearse si Sir David. So akala ko mamaya pa ako, tapos bigla niya akong tinanong kung suot ko na raw yung in-ears ko. &#x27;Do you have your ears on?&#x27; Yes, sabi ko. &#x27;Do you wanna try this song?&#x27; Sabi ko what song? Sabi niya &#x27;All By Myself&#x27;. Tanong ko, am I going to perform this song tonight? Sabi niya, yes we can try,&quot; Ajero said.</p><p>After trying it out, Foster was convinced that Ajero can belt this song in the show -- but that only made Stell even more nervous.</p><p>&quot;Ginuide niya po ako sa mismong arrangements, yung tono, after po nun sabi niya &#x27;do you want to perform this song tonight?&#x27; Ang daming naglalaro sa isip ko, sinabi ko sa kanya &#x27;if it&#x27;s okay with you sir?&#x27; Sabi niya okay!&quot;</p><p>What made him sweat even more was when the video of Dion came up on screen, discussing how Foster had gifted her with the song. The music icon also recalled how the key change is the hardest part in the song.</p><p>&quot;Sobrang pressured po talaga. Actually hanggang ngayon pag nakikita yung videos sa social media, iniisip ko, paano ko nagawa yun? Ang sinabi niya kasi pinakakinabahan ako, sabi niya &#x27;Stell you only got once chance to try this song?&#x27; Sinabi niya po bago yung performance ko,&quot; Ajero recalled.</p><p>After nailing the performance and drawing praise from Foster, Ajero can only express his gratitude and appreciation to the fans and audience members who liked his rendition. The SB19 member is also open to working with Foster, if he gets invited to tour with him.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wbboeNUzV1w?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
