Killard House Special School choir singing Hallelujah



Published on Dec 23, 2016

A 10-year-old girl from Northern Ireland singing a solo during her school choir’s performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is becoming an Internet sensation, going viral after a video of the extraordinary performance was posted on Facebook.

Kaylee Rodgers hails from Donaghadee, County Down, and has autism and ADHD. A student at Killard House Special School, she started singing as a way to help build her confidence.

The Facebook video has so far been viewed more than 190,000 times, and the youngster spoke with ITV to share her feelings about the incredible popularity of her performance.

“It was really amazing how many views I got,” she said. “I just loved doing it.”
