NEW YORK, June 20 — A nine-year-old girl from Hong Kong called Celine Tam didn’t let her namesake down during an America’s Got Talent audition recently.

After telling judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Heidi Klum that her parents named her Celine and her younger sister Dion because they are massive Celine Dion fans, she proceeded to blow them away with a stunning performance of My Heart Will Go On.

But not before giving Cowell a sassy reply when he asked: “What artist are you going to be singing?”

“Celine Dion, duh!” the young girl replied.

It should be noted that Tam is no stranger to talent competitions.

She has starred in Hunan Broadcasting’s Let’s Sing Kids in 2014, and also performed on Hong Kong’s TVB and at China CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala.

Coincidentally, she took a photo with Malaysia’s own Shila Amzah before a performance at the Asia Music Festival in 2016.
