Simon Cowell is known for being a tough, opinionated judge on top talent shows. He is extremely gifted at identifying genuine talent. Despite Simon’s initial lackluster opinion of Celine Tam, a 9-year-old with talent, she immediately pulled the audience to their feet and caught his attention.

She called her daughter Celine Tam after one of her favorite performers, Celine Dion. Many individuals who attempt to perform Celine Dion songs on television shows such as America’s Got Talent fall short of the iconic singer’s level of musical talent.

However, Celine Tam showed her ability to execute the songs of the renowned Celine Dion almost immediately after taking the stage.

She opted to sing “My Heart Will Go On,” one of the first songs Celine Dion ever performed in front of her parents. Her parents admitted that they were huge Celine Dion fans and that their kid was named after her.

They didn’t expect their daughter Celine to be as musically skilled as Dion. They became aware of and nurtured their daughter’s vocal ability over time. After putting in all of her time, effort, and resources, Celine Tam was finally able to demonstrate her exceptional abilities on America’s Got Talent.

The moment the girl began singing this Celine Dion song live, the audience instantly recognized her potential and stood to applaud. Her talent obviously impressed the judges as well after the performance.

Celine Tam sang a truly difficult song brilliantly. Her voice was smooth and accurate while also being lovely and strong.

This family still likes to sing along to Celine Dion songs. It’s not surprising that the couple named Celine’s newborn sister Dionne. It’s too soon to tell if Dionne will have the same vocal prowess as her older sister.
