Amazing Voice: 7-Year-Old Gospel Singer Belts Whitney And Celine Songs

We hope Jennifer Aniston doesn’t get jealous, but there’s a new, younger woman in Gerard Butler’s life, and she can sing, too.
Earlier this month, Rhema Marvanne, a 7-year-old gospel singer from Carrollton, Texas, taped a scene in Butler’s new film Machine Gun Preacher. In the movie Butler plays a drug dealer-turned-crusader on a mission to save kids.
“During his baptism, Rhema is actually singing ‘Amazing Grace’ at that pillar moment [Butler] goes from a bad guy to a good guy and then goes to South Africa to save all the little kids from the war,” said Teton Voaritskul, Rhema’s dad.
“It felt great,” Rhema said about making her theatrical debut. “It felt like God is really proud of me and he’s smiling right at me.”
YouTube videos of Rhema performing “Amazing Grace,” “O Holy Night,” Celine Dion’s “The Prayer” with Terry White, and Whitney Houston’s “I Love The Lord” have generated more than a million streams.
People searching for holiday music found Rhema’s “O Holy Night” in December and sparked hundreds of thousands of plays. The Maury Povich Show contacted Rhema’s father to feature her on its Most Talented Kids 2010, and Korean show Star King also booked her as a guest.
