This guy sings Mariah Carey songs in an epic and unforgettable style

His biggest dream is to record an album.

His first song is "Vision of Love" from MC's self-titled album, released on May 15, 1990. As he starts singing, the audience starts to cheer up and laugh. Simon asked to stop the performance.

Louis Walsh asked for his second song, which is "Hero". Simon was surprised because the crowd wanted Fouad to sing another song. As Fouad started singing, the crowd cheered and sang along with him.

After his performance, Simon Cowell commented,

Here's what I'm slightly puzzled here. Okay, this was like something out of Star Wars. I couldn't literally, could not understand a word, it was a language which is never been heard or invented. Nobody in a million, billion years would play that version on the radio. And say, you know what... most amazingly, this lad was singing along with you. Which means, this lad call me a mad. I can tell you, I'm not the mad one here.

Watch Fouad's epic rendition of the song and see the judges' amusing reactions while he sings.
