J'Something on performing Portugal national anthem at Springbok match
"What an honour."
J'Something keeps showing the world just how incredibly gifted he is.
The singer performed the Portugal national anthem at a recent match where the Springboks faced Portugal in the historic first Test between the nations on Saturday, 20 July, in Bloemfontein.
J'Something, whose real name is Joao da Fonseca, serenaded thousands of fans at the Toyota Stadium.
He described the moment as 'unbelievable'.
"An unforgettable, unexplainable and most certainly unbelievable moment in time for me. What an honour. Love and light," he captioned the video he posted on Instagram on Thursday, 25 July.

He also explained how it was an honour for him to belong to two countries. J moved to Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape at the age of seven. The move was reportedly made after his father got a job offer as a beverage manager at Fish River Sun.
In an earlier post on Instagram, he said performing the Portugal national anthem reminded him of the hard decisions his mom had to make.
"IN THIS MOMENT I thought of all the sacrifices my mother made and all the hard decisions she had to make. In this moment I thought of how I had to leave my brothers side. In this moment I thought of my wife and our family that we’ve built," he wrote on Instagram.
He also added that the moment reminded him of the time he played rugby as a young man.
"In this moment I thought of all the rugby games I played at school and friends I made through the sport. In this moment I thought of how much I love the fact that life has given me time in these two countries that have shaped me into the man I am today.
"In this moment I thought of how much I love South Africa and Portugal. In this moment I thought of how blessed I am. Honored. Words just aren’t enough. Love and light" he added.
