Nine-year-old Emma Cerchi delivered a memorable audition on The Voice Kids France with her performance of Celine Dion’s iconic song “My Heart Will Go On.” From the moment she stepped onto the stage, her calm presence and focus stood out, especially given the difficulty of the song she chose.
“My Heart Will Go On,” famously featured in James Cameron’s blockbuster film Titanic, is known for its wide vocal range and emotional intensity. Many experienced singers struggle to perform it convincingly. Despite her young age, Emma showed impressive vocal control, clear tone, and confidence, particularly during the song’s powerful chorus.
Throughout the performance, Emma demonstrated an understanding of vocal dynamics, knowing when to soften her voice and when to let it expand. She maintained steady pitch and timing from beginning to end, earning strong reactions from the judges, who appeared visibly moved by her performance.

Emma’s story also adds depth to her appearance on the show. She has a degenerative eye condition that affects her vision and may eventually lead to blindness. This personal challenge has been publicly shared in connection with her journey on The Voice Kids France. Despite this, Emma continues to pursue her passion for music with determination and positivity, focusing on what she can do rather than what she may lose.
Following her audition, Emma progressed through the competition and went on to win her season of The Voice Kids France. Her performances gained widespread attention online. Her audition has since gone viral, with over 11 million views on YouTube, and it continues to touch hearts around the world.
Emma is a symbol of hope and sacrifice, and that’s why she won the Voice kids that season. She definitely got a beautiful smooth voice!
