During a street performance of Leonard Cohen’s timeless ballad “Hallelujah,” musician Allie Sherlock enlisted the talents of a second singer, 12-year-old Fionn Wheelan. Sharing the sidewalk stage, Allie dubbed the young boy “the next Ed Sheeran” in the video description on her YouTube channel. Upon listening to Fionn’s rendition, it’s easy to see why she made such a bold comparison.
The audience, or rather, the online viewers, were quick to express their awe in the comments section. One user exclaimed, “Rarely do I experience chills from people singing, but this kid… WOW, you’re an amazing singer!!!”
Another commenter chimed in, saying, “The young boy’s voice gave me shivers. Both of them have remarkable voices.” The collaborative street performance left an indelible impression on those who witnessed the musical synergy between Allie and Fionn.
