Samuel (no last name given), a teen Gabonese singer recently posted a video of himself covering the Canadian superstar Celine Dion's classic single, "The Power of Love." He was filmed performing a haunting rendition of this song while sitting barefoot on a staircase outside of his home. Samuel reconstructed the near two-minute rendition of the song in French and English.
The video was picked up by a Gabonese blogger named Barack Nyare Mba. Samuel's video has garnered more than two million views on Facebook page, doubling the number of views overnight to nearly 2.3 million.
Celine Dion shared a homemade video of him performing one of her hits with her millions of social media followers. According to Celine: "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."
Samuel was "overwhelmed and very surprised" by the message from his idol. It was his brother who told him that the Canadian singer shared his video. He hopes that one day he can meet Celine Dion for real.
The teen singer is shocked by his recent fame, and doesn't know how to handle it all.
