Abu, a quiet 13-year-old, took the stage on “The Voice Kids Belgium” with the weight of expectations on his young shoulders. In an effort to impress the judges, he boldly chose an incredibly difficult song to perform.
The song he selected was none other than “My Heart Will Go On,” the iconic ballad by Celine Dion from the legendary film Titanic. As one of the best-selling artists in music history, Celine Dion’s voice has left an indelible mark on the world. With her powerful, emotional performances, she is often regarded as one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
At first, many in the audience were skeptical. After all, how could a 13-year-old possibly do justice to such a monumental song? But Abu proved everyone wrong. Despite the immense challenge, the young performer showcased remarkable skill and confidence, captivating the audience and the judges.
“My Heart Will Go On” became Celine Dion’s most successful single almost instantly after its release, and it remains one of the highest-selling songs globally. It is undoubtedly a tough piece to cover, yet Abu handled it with such finesse that he silenced any doubt about his ability.
Not only did he hit every note with precision, but he also nailed the high notes in the song’s most challenging passages, leaving the judges and the audience in awe. Their expressions—of surprise and joy—were all captured as the camera panned across the room.
