Christian Bautista kept his cool despite being mistaken for Erik Santos in a TikTok LIVE video and even gave an on-the-spot vocal coaching on how to sing Erik's classic hit 'Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka.'

Christian Bautista shared a hilarious excerpt from his recent TikTok livestream video after a TikTok user mistook him for his fellow balladeer, Erik Santos.

The TIkTok user, who goes by the name Tata, caught the attention of the All-Out Sundays star after he expressed his desire to sing the singer's song which happened to be Erik's hit "Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka."

This drew laughs from Christian and asked Tata if he knew who he is talking to which he answered incorrectly.

Nevertheless, Christian remained cool about it and even gave the aspiring singer vocal coaching on how to sing Erik's classic single.

"Had a great fun time with kuya Tata learning @eriksantos song "Kulang ako kung wala ka," the Kapuso singer said in the caption.

Other OPM singers like Regine Velasquez, Jaya, and Jay R also commented on the said blunder.
