Lin Chu Yung looks like a chubby 24-year-old. But as Susan Boyle proved - looks can be deceiving - this boy can sing.

After singing a rendition of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You on Taiwanese TV, he has attracted millions of hits on Youtube.

He's favourite to win Super Star Avenue in Taiwan complete with bowl hair cut and little dickie bow.

The singer has been likened to Susan Boyle who was also unknown before appearing on Britain's Got Talent.

Lin Chu Yung said: "I saw Paul Potts and Susan Boyle, my look is similar to them in the way that we're not glamorous like others, but they conquered everyone with their voices.

"I was just a normal chubby boy yesterday, and now I become someone all over the world looking at."
