A 17-year-old Gabonese is now getting famous after he was captured by the camera singing Celine Dion's hit "Power of Love." He sounded just like her. What's great about the video is that he was seen sitting barefooted on a staircase.
The video first shared on the Facebook page Barack Nyare Mba, has racked up more than 2.6-million views since its posting and reached Celine Dion. The soulful diva lauded the young man's talent. She also hoped that his dreams will come true.
“Samuel, your talent is as big as your voice. I’m touched my songs have travelled all the way to you and hope we have the chance to meet one day. May all your dreams come true. Keep singing like you do. When music comes from the heart, it knows no borders!” said Dion.
Samuel admitted he has no Facebook account nor a mobile phone, and thus, was completely unaware that the video taken by his brother went viral and reached Dion.
His unexpected shot to fame apparently paid off since producers from TV singing contests in France and Ivory Coast have now approached for possible projects.
Watch Samuel singing below.
