“I don’t think the people at the hotel had any idea that was going to happen,” Gigliello said. “They were probably wondering who is this guy walking up to the pianist?”
Gigliello’s wife caught the moment on video and he posted it to his social media accounts.
“I wanted to show some of my friends from college and my old professors to see it just to know that I was still singing,” Gigliello said.
Well, they weren’t the only ones who saw it. The video quickly started getting spread in Disney social media groups until it was fully viral.
“I was completely shocked,” Gigliello said. “It was beyond anything I could’ve dreamed possible.”
While the admiration of so many people caught Gigliello off guard, the adoration that meant the most to him was the love and pride he saw from Lilly as he watched the video back.
“I had no idea that was her reaction until I watched the video,” Gigliello said. “Just seeing the love and adoration from your child. It was adorable. It got me.”
Although it was unexpected, Gigliello says he’s happy so many people have enjoyed the video.
“You’re making art out of music,” Gigliello said. “When people love it, it makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something.”
In that case, you’ve truly outdone yourself Justin. Bravo!
