10-year old Kaylee Rodgers, who has autism and ADHD, was too ill to perform the song but managed to sing beautifully.
A schoolgirl’s cover of Leonard Cohen‘s ‘Hallelujah’ has gone viral after reaching almost 300,000 views.
The video shows 10-year-old Kaylee Rodgers singing a version of the late Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’. It was recorded as part of the school’s Christmas show and was put up online because Kaylee was too ill to perform live as the lead singer at a church carol service.
Kaylee has autism and ADHD and attends Killard House Special School in Northern Ireland. You can see the video below.

“It was really amazing how many views I got,” Rodgers reported after finding out her video got viral, “I just loved doing it.” Kaylee’s talent was reportedly discovered when she was singing a song from Frozen to herself in the classroom.
“For a child who came in P4 and would rarely talk, wouldn’t really read out in class, to stand and perform in front of an audience is amazing,” Colin Millar, principal of Killard House, said. “It takes a lot of effort on Kaylee’s part.”
