A young Taiwanese boy looks set to become a global singing sensation after performing I Will Always Love You on a TV talent show.

Lin Yu Chun has already become a huge hit on YouTube and Twitter after singing the Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston track on Taiwan TV's Super Star Avenue.

His version of the song was so impressive that the online community is drawing comparisons between him and Susan Boyle's performance of I Dreamed A Dream on Britain's Got Talent.

The eventual winner of Super Star Avenue will reportedly be given the chance to record an album and will receive around £650,000 in prize money.
