Celine Tam, a child prodigy from Hong Kong, captivated audiences with a duet alongside German singer Helene Fischer. Tam first gained fame at eight years old in the tenth series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2016. The following year, she reached the semi-finals of America’s Got Talent with her viral performance of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” which has over 42 million YouTube views.
Her growing popularity led to an appearance on the German TV program “The Helene Fischer Show,” hosted by Helene Fischer, a top-selling German singer with over 15 million records sold.
Fischer warmly introduced Tam, mentioning the presence of Tam’s family and noting the humorous coincidence of Tam and her sister being named Celine and Dion, revealing their parents’ fandom of Celine Dion. Fischer expressed her own admiration for Dion before announcing their duet of “You Raise Me Up,” originally by Secret Garden.
The performance highlighted Tam’s extraordinary vocal talent. Now 16, Tam began singing at two, trained by her father, renowned singing coach Steve Tam. With over a million YouTube subscribers, she continues to perform at high-profile events like the Miss Hong Kong Finals and the Miss World Beauty Pageant.
Celine Tam’s incredible talent, showcased in her 2017 duet with Fischer, promises a bright future in music.
