Hallelujah sung by Kaylee Rogers and Killard House School Choir in 2016. Copyright 2016 Kaylee Rogers/Killard House School Kaylee, a student at Killard House Special School in Northern Ireland, who suffers from autism and ADHD; stunned the online world with a choir rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”. Colin Millar, the school’s principal, told BBC News that Kaylee is often shy — but not when she sings. “All my kids have talents, as well as barriers, and this is hers.” “She’d be a very quiet little girl, but when she sings, she just opens up,” he said. Kaylee started attending Killard House a few years ago, in order to help her address learning delays. She’s overcome some incredible challenges to share that voice with the world and singing has helped her build up her confidence “For a child who came in and wouldn’t really talk, wouldn’t really read out in class, to stand and perform in front of an audience is amazing. It takes a lot of effort on Kaylee’s part,” Millar said. “Hallelujah”, written by Leonard Cohen over the course of five years, was recorded by dozens of famous artists. But, Cohen passed away in November 2016, just weeks before Kaylee Rogers’ rendition of his most famous song was released. Somehow, we’re sure that Cohen would approve of this stunning remake.
