Last week, D.C. United striker Luciano Emilio’s starring role lifted his team to new heights. His electrifying performance was the difference, winning over his team and their fans — through song!

Thanks to BobbyBoswell.com, we are able to witness the majesty of Luciano’s virtuoso performance of James Blunt’s “Beautiful.” Okay, so he’s still learning some of the words and his grasp of the English language is still developing. Doesn’t make it any less captivating when he belts out one of the most powerful ballads of our times.

Emilio reportedly became enamored with the song upon his arrival in the States this January. But why? We can only conjecture that Emilio’s adoration is derived from his love of soccer, often dubbed “the beautiful game,” particularly in his native country of Brazil.

Emilio’s unseen teammates chime in to help him out throughout the clip to near disastrous results. This got us thinking: what would be the set list for a hypothetical D.C. United karaoke session?
