i always wish I could sing. Sometimes, I feel like I can, like when I’m in the shower, or alone in the car. Sometimes when I’m jogging I’ll belt out a tune, there’s no doubt about that, but I’ve always wanted to professionally sing and pursue that passion. Maybe one day I’ll work on it. They say it’s best to start young so you can hone those skills, but I believe in better late than never!
Someone who doesn’t have to go by that saying though is 1-year-old Allie Sherlock. In the video shared below, Allie has beautifully covered Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers” and it’s something that no one should miss!
In the video, Allie is situated in the middle of a hustling and bustling street in Ireland and belts out the ballad with so much passion, while hitting all the right notes to the song. The lyrics are already so powerful since Sheeran’s mom had written them in memory of her own mother (the singer’s grandma). So when you pair the sentiments of the song with Allie’s voice, you get such a soulful and touching performance. It’s hard to not stop in your tracks and take it all in.
She uploaded this video on Youtube and since then she’s been garnering so many positive reviews. We’re sure she couldn’t be happier! I mean, I know I’d be over the moon if someone just as so much said I had a halfway decent voice!
Although the girl is just 12-years-old, her voice sounds so mature and her presence is felt throughout the entire performance. Allie’s form of singing is called busking, and she’s become a popular busker on Grafton Street in Ireland; she’s now a local celebrity.
Since she has been so acknowledged online and in her local hometown, Allie has been offered to make appearances on shows like The Ellen Show. The opportunity was turned down because her parents feel that she is just a 12-year-old girl who enjoys some busking. Allie herself doesn’t know where she’d like to take this passion for singing since she says that it’s just a hobby.
Watch the beautiful performance below! And to think that it’s so easy to potentially walk by! Take time to smell the roses and hear a beautiful voice, people! Please like and share it with family and friends.
