An English family chilling at home for a little casual karaoke turned into a viral moment when young Alfie Andrew dropped an absolutely gobsmacking Celine Dion cover. Despite the household setting, the 12-year-old rocked it like he was at Madison Square Garden, giving a world-class performance that would make Dion proud. The youngster showed a total command of Dion’s complex style, and you better believe he sang with his whole heart.
Shocked viewers were amazed as he effortlessly nailed that iconic soaring high note before casually walking off to play some mobile games. There’ve been a lot of Celine Dion covers over the years, but The Music Man has to say no one does it quite like Alfie! It’s not the first time the talented youngster has gone viral, as he previously gained global attention for his memorable America’s Got Talent audition on Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand.”
Viewers watching at home agree that Alfie had the kind of talent that can’t be learned and added comments such as “Lil bro passionate performed one of the greatest covers of the most romantic songs ever and then casually took his phone and went to play Clash of Clans” and “He makes me feel like the day I was watching Justin Bieber on YouTube for the first time. I love his voice.”
Alfie, who is from Manchester in England, competed on America’s Got Talent at age 12 during season 18 in 2023. He left the judges spellbound with his emotive Lady Gaga cover that showed off his total command of R&B. There are lots of great young singers on the big talent shows, but there’s something about Alfie’s voice and style that is really distinctive. If things go his way in the industry, then he could channel that unique style into a great career as an original artist.
The Music Man readers might be interested to hear that Alfie is now aged 14, as of 2025. He got a clean sweep of four yes votes after his America’s Got Talent audition, and the judges chose to advance him to the semi-finals during their deliberations. Alfie performed One Direction’s “You & I” in the semi-finals. He got a standing ovation from all four judges with this performance. He received enough votes from this performance to enter the top five, but not enough to enter the top three, so he was therefore eliminated.
