Programs like Australia’s Got Talent introduce the world to surprising singers all the time. These people are either surprising in the best way possible or the worst way possible. The fourteen-year-old performer in this video is definitely surprising in the best way possible. He performs a Whitney Houston song, to the surprise of many of the judges and a good portion of the audience. Not only is he crossing the gender binary by doing this, he is also taking on a very challenging song.

Whitney Houston’s famously powerful voice and broad vocal range both present obstacles to a lot of new singers, especially young singers. However, this very young singer still manages to surprise everyone in the room by delivering the powerful performance in a way that would probably make Whitney herself proud. Many people on Facebook would enthusiastically SHARE this video in order to hear such a fantastic cover and in order to surprise their friends.
