In 2017, nine-year-old Celine Tam from Hong Kong captivated audiences during her America’s Got Talent Season 12 audition. Performing Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On, her remarkable vocal ability left judge Simon Cowell stunned, especially after he initially underestimated her based on her appearance. Celine, named after her idol, wowed viewers with her powerful, emotional voice—an impressive feat, as My Heart Will Go On is a challenging song for even many adults.
Her audition video became the most viewed in Hong Kong in 2017 and ranked among the top 15 most viral AGT videos of all time. Celine’s journey continued when she earned a golden buzzer for her heartfelt performance of How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, solidifying her place as a fan favorite. Although she didn’t make it to the finals, Celine left a lasting impression with her performances of When You Believe and How Far I’ll Go.
Celine, who also competed on Britain’s Got Talent and World’s Got Talent, continues to share her love for Celine Dion’s music with her family, even naming her younger sister Dion as a tribute to the iconic singer.
