Britain may have found its answer to Canadian pop prince Justin Bieber in the form of a young contestant on this year’s Britain’s Got Talent.

12 year old Ronan Parke, who was one of the final contestants to perform on the third Britain’s Got Talent audition show, has already taken the internet by storm.

The shy singer instantly won over fans with his impressive performance of Feeling Good, sung by Nina Simone and Michael Buble.

Despite his diminutive stature his powerful blues voice earned him a standing ovation from the 2500 strong London audience and the three judges, Louis Walsh, Michael McIntyre and Amanda Holden.

On her feet, Amanda said: "Oh my goodness! Ronan that was ace! I cannot believe how fantastic that was!"

Michael said: "Ronan, yes, you took a day off school; I wouldn't bother going back! He added: "You are a little star... you have just taken the room and just blown the roof off it!"

Louis said: "I'm going to predict really big things for you, you're so good...Ronan Parke: remember that name, this kid is going to be a star."

With three emphatic “yeses” Ronan's mum Maggie ran on stage to hug her tearful son while Louis told fellow judges: "He's the one to beat."

Ronan’s name immediately began to trend worldwide on the micro blogging site Twitter with fans dubbing him the next Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber shot to fame after posting his videos on the vlogging site You Tube. With his Bieber-esque hair cut and obvious talent it looks as if the shy 12 year old could follow in his footsteps.
