- 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.

With all due respect to Leonard Cohen, this is the BEST version of
Hallelujah. If this doesn't touch your soul, you don't have one.
No one comments about Kaylee's parents! Thank you to Kaylee's parents for such a beautiful child sharing her amazing voice with the world!
I'm 44. I faced a lot in my life. I thought nothing can touch my heart so deep. But here it is. A tears in my eyes and the lump in the throat. God bless these children. Thank to people done this great job.
Same here
Amen to that. I feel the exact same way.
The song showed your heart was deadened or comatose but not dead. May Jesus bring you fully alive. He has done greater things.
Same hear at 53 everytime I hear it
Heart touching no doubt.
I am a retired construction worker that was never allowed to show feeling even when breaking bones, this made me cry like a child.
The school needs all the support and appreciation it can get. They not only came up with Christmas-themed lyrics but captured the real spirit of Christmas. The School not only encouraged Kaylee's unique talent but it included the entire chorus in an uplifting performance. I cannot imagine there was a dry eye in the audience. A story of hope. Congratulations to the teachers and parents.
I agree.
Kaylee is 10 years old in this video, she has a better understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ than many grown-ups! What a beautiful little girl!
Amen.
12/24/23 right about midnight. I’m listening to this for about the 50th time in the last two days. I just discovered it and I can’t stop playing it over and over again. Kaylee is just incredible as well as all the classmates. God has blessed each and everyone of you.
Heard this first time with my lil bro 3 years ago when we found out he had cancer.We listened to this after it brought my brother peace its bringing me peace now since my lil bros passing.God bless you Kaylee .Thank you for this beautiful song .
One word outstanding
No matter how many times I've heard this it always brings tears to my eyes
As a father with an autistic daughter I just want to thank you for doing what you do your an inspiration to my daughter and it means the world to me that she has such a great example of over coming her fears and doing what she's passionate about.
As a 43-year old father of two little girls and the man who has to live everyday of his life with a learning disability called, "Nonverbal Learning Disorder", or "NVLD", thank you for your generous patience with your daughter. Everyone focuses on the CHILDREN with significant learning hurdles, but once you leave academia it's like, "Whelp! Not MY problem anymore! Good luck out there in life!", and you're not prepared at all for life in the real world. It's not like it goes away once you turn 18! NO! You're stuck with it for the rest of your life! I don't know if your daughter KNOVVS she's ASD or not, but NVLD'ers DO! We KNOW WHAT "NORMAL" IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE AND LIVE A VERY FRUSTRATING LIFE TRYING IN VAIN TO ACHIEVE IT! Having a Wife and two beautiful little girls and a house we were able to finance through my VA lone is about the only thing that makes me feel truly "normal". We ABSOLUTELY need to start young with intervention and preparing children with these challenges to grow into healthy adults who can handle themselves in the real world.
I watched a video documentary not long ago, and I'd seen it before, but I watch it again every now and again as a reminder about things and for perspective, but it's a short documentary/Public Service Announcement about women...GROWN WOMEN, with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)and it's fascinating. God Bless you and your daughter! By the way, if she ever gets to feeling down about Autism, let her know that in my youth, there was a bombshell actress who had ASD; her name is Deryl Hannah!
Same. I’m sad I’m just finding this!
Amen! Mine's 19.
❤️🎄
I've been listening to this every Christmas season for the last five years. I'm not a religious person, and I'm not really one who is moved by much, but this song manages to bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
I'm gonna let everyone in on a secret , if you want to have a great day everyday , start it as I do before I ever get out of bed I listen to to this song , it will fill your heart with joy after that nothing can bring you down . thank you Killard house school and especially thank you Kaylee and your classmates for letting your light shine down on this old mans heart , god bless each and every one of you 😇
benny brown that’s a great idea. You can’t help but smile at all these kids, so inspirational.
Amen BB
This is my go to song to make me calm down, they sound so angelic 😇
I do believe I'll b watching this every Christmas season for the rest of my life
Such an angelic voice. This may be a Christmas song but I listen to it often. Kaylee is a special child of God with a God given gift of voice. Hope she continues to do new songs.
When I first heard this song, a couple of years ago, it felt like the Holy Spirit touched my soul and I cried. It drew me closer to god!!! Now I listen and smile. Thank you Kaylee, you and your classmates are truly doing Gods work
I couldn’t have said it better by brother.
All these beautiful children belong to the one and only, God, the Lord, our Savior. God bless them. Amen. 🙏🏼❤️
looks to me like he left them behind to surfer
@Teela Tequila is that not the truth? You said it best!
Amen! The Lord and angels are rejoicing in Heaven above right now.
I didn't even notice they were special need kids. Indeed, may they be blessed and guided by Jesus Christ and always loved!
What I want to know is WHO are the people that disliked this? What is wrong with people! Beautiful, so needed right now!
I'm sure those who appreciate the original find something lacking when the lyrics are butchered, no matter how gifted the artist.
I, for one, cannot get the original lyrics and force of the song out of my head....a sadomasochistic version of David’s sin with Bathsheba. (She tied you to the kitchen chair) And drags from his lips a “hallelujah” from the sexual pleasure of it. Hallelujah means. “Praise the Lord.” Thus David, according to Coen, is not only beginning an unseemly affair, but is also mocking God while doing it. Illicit sex is not an act of worship. She got pregnant, and to hide what he did, David killed her husband. This was a horrible thing he did and would later be personally tortured by the thought of it...he would repent, but would feel awful about it for a long time. The original song glorifies his shame. People like to mindlessly sing Hallelujah without any knowledge of the context. The melody and tune are indeed good, the girl who sings it is sweet, but it’s hard to lift the melody away from the lyrics for many devout Christians.
@@hippoaugustine "I cannot get the original lyrics..." Try harder, focus on the version you are listening: it's beautiful!
Hallelujah!
@@davidt8173 butchered...the young lady was non verbal autistic and people just can't appreciate how she overcame that disability through finding music. She is a champion.
This is the true spirit of Christmas. God bless all.
I have heard this song from many professionals but Kaylee and these children have them all beat. I listen to this every time i”m down and it brings me up. This school is amazing with these blessed children. Kaylee you are amazing! God bless!
Thank you all .Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah ❤
I get goosebumps every time I watch this. Great job kids!
❤
I've always loved this song. It means so much more to me, now that my baby girl has gone to live in Heaven. Shelby, I miss you so much. Merry Christmas.
Sorry for your loss. I have a feeling your daughter is happy you enjoy this song because she feels happy when you listen to music. She is listening with you!
@@kck5454 Thank you for your kind words. I so pray that you are correct.
I’m so Sorry about your los ❤️🩹 I hope your heart heals. She must be most beautiful angel. One day we will have a chance to reunite with our loved ones I’m sorry.
I'm so very sorry for your extremely painful and extremely heartbreaking loss. I hope that with the love and support from family that you can get through this extremely painful time.
This girl has a beautiful voice.
Amazing proof that everyone, even an autistic little girl, is of enormous value.
Children singing unto the Lord just blesses my heart, and it is said that a child will lead them. Praise God and Hallelujah unto our Savior and King 👑 Jesus whom is coming back for his bride the church. God bless you Kaylee and precious kids that sang unto the Lord with all their heart. We are all to have child like faith and come to Him as little children. 💕🙏🕊
May God bless Kaylee, these beautiful children, and the school's head master Colen Milar. What a blessed treasure. 🥰🙏🙏
I'm not religious but I can listen to this amazing young lady sing all day long
You should at least try to go to church and see what you think I suggest church of the highlands
Kaylee Rogers is a phenomenon :-) so beautiful and so talented! All these kids, so little and so good! , what a spectacular job they all did.
Hearing this song makes me sad but also happy to my beautiful baby daughter was born sleeping she did a beautiful version and it'll get me through
I ran across this on CZcams around Christmas 2018. I have watched and listened at least 100 times - and nary a single one goes by without my having tears in my eyes. What a tribute to such special people at Killard House! It isn't just about Kaylee, it's about the choir of those wonderful children behind her and the teachers and staff that made this happen! That said, Kaylee's voice is tremendous to me, for a 10 year-old with a troubled life. More than her voice is the passion with which she sings this song. Without that, it might just be "ordinary". Her obvious passion for the song and her lifting herself to heaven as she runs up the chords to Hallelujah, these are some of what makes me show this to everyone I know! At the time it's mid-April and I've been virtually locked in my home for a month or more. I've watched and listened at least 10 times just today and Hallelujah,,,, I am feeling much better than I was this morning,,,, although my eyes are red and moist. My thanks to those who put this online for all of us and to this very special school. May your endeavors all be so wonderful!
The first time I heard this version of Hallelujah it stole my soul and a tear or two trickled down my cheek. Now when I listen to it I feel pure joy, not just because of the words to the song, but to listen to a little girl who has overcome so much along with her classmates. God's gift to us all!!
Dear Kaylee and dear children, I place you all in the heart of Jesus. May He keep you innocent and protect you from all harm. May He especially protect Kaylee from the vanity that so often ruins famous and successfull people! Thanks and glory to Him for everything! Thank you for your song, Kaylee! God bless you all!
I think the Lord himself sits back and has a listen to his creation,well done!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh the tears. This is just so beautiful.
Beautiful! When I heard these lyrics I heard the meaning that honors the melody and chords Leonard Cohen allowed us to witness from the depths of his soul. Whoever wrote this cover revealed the hope in the “baffled king’s” composition. Humans seeking respite in our Lord’s compassion. Kaylee and these children also find healing respite in their singing. Thank you for sharing their angelic voices with the world and for helping me, personally, heal.
This just makes me feel so good on a crappy Christmas 2020.
Amen!
Same
It touched my heart....brought tears to my eyes....God bless 🙌
For those that don't know........... the issues "different" people have to deal with... in the "old days" you were beaten and locked away. The old tough guy's eyes well with tears at this beautiful little girl knowing how hard it is for her and the other kids......
A very nice and touching rendition. Not only is the lead singer talented, but the camera work was amazing for a school production and the accompaniment and sound engineering as well. A really amazing production overall. When I first saw this I did not realize that anyone in it suffered from any disabilities, I only learned that by looking up the school. Anyone who participated in making this production should be very proud. A true credit to the Killard House School and all of the work that is done there. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the World.
Kaylee is a beautiful child and has angelic voice, God Bless Kaylee forever and ever~
Oh my goodness. Kaylee, sweetheart, your voice is purely the voice of an angel. Please keep singing because You have an unbelievable voice.
I'm sure Leonard Cohen would have been thrilled to hear such a beautiful and moving rendition of his song!
These children are a true gift from God ❤ 10:40 am
I've heard a lot of covers of this song, and not one of them could I feel. This I can feel. She has such control - subtle wavers that sound like crying without over-singing - Leonard Cohen himself would probably cry at this cover. It's gorgeous in ways I don't have words to describe.
It always warms my heart listening to Kaylee and the children sing. God has definitely blessed the Killard House. I showed my grandchildren these videos and they watch them many times a day. I am 55 and I do the same! Kaylee is such a blessing.
How is it possible?? Your voice is soooo beautiful and I can’t stop listening to this song it’s unbelievable 😍😍😍😍😍
This is a beautiful song and I love the way this young girl really puts a lot of feeling in it. That is the only way that you can feel the annointing of the song because she feels it. Such a beautiful song and the words are beautiful. Thank God you really feel. Jesus right here with you or you feel transported closer to. Him. Life is rough sometimes and it refreshing to be right there with. Jesus very close for a few moments and to be reminded of how much. Jesus loves us. God bless all of the children singing.
Tears roll down my 62 year old face every time I hear this song sung by this precious little girl. God bless her. Greatest story Ever told.
老舔狗了
I'm friends with her 😊😋🥺 I found her voice fr her because I told her to just sing and she did and shes so beautiful x
@@savtraffic I'm 72 and can't keep a dry eye every time I choose to listen.. Moreso during Christmas season... She's a true Angel from heaven.
Whoever disliked this video doesn’t understand great music!
This is so very beautiful!! 😇
Thank you Kaylee for sharing your beautiful talent with the world!! 😁🙏
Swim Life There is such a trend to not appreciate talent for what it is and where it comes from. Is this the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? No. Are they talented, darling children? Yes. I feel that way when people get into “who was the best ValJean”? Many people played the part, many excelled in different aspects. Enjoy the moment!
I think when one considers that these are children with conditions that make it more difficult for them to do the same things other kids do daily then the real power of this comes to light. These kids have a hard time focusing due to Autism and ADHD but they came together and gave one incredibly amazing performance. So good in fact I listened to it several times and watched it and never realized they were children with those two conditions.
The fact that they pulled off such an amazing performance speaks volume for those who help teach and guide them.
There's alot of jeleous trolls on the net these days , it dosnt mean anything , the rest of us see and feel this .
Beautiful voice. Deeply touching. Healing my spirit and bringing me closer to God. I loved repeating the song over and over again. May God continues to bless you with your beautiful voice.
THE FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WHAT A VOICE OF AN ANGEL
No matter how many timesI hear this amazing song, I get tears in my eyes, but this time was so special because of Kaylee and her classmates singing with her in the background. Also reading all of the comments just restores my soul and makes me so thankful and happy.
I’m sitting in my truck just with my thoughts someone posted this on Facebook this is so beautiful Christmas came early this year God bless these children.
I have a 12 year old son in the spectrum and you are an inspiration
An angel with an amazing voice
Well done such a beautiful song well sung ...you brought a tear to this old truck drivers eyes
So amazing that a girl can be so shy yet have such a powerful voice. She may not be talkative to those who speak to her but she sings a song and touches the hearts of so many who really needed to hear this and show them God has not forsaken them.
Счастья тебе,девочка.Да хранит тебя и всех деток Господь!
I am smiling and crying with a full heart. Beautiful. Amazing voice and articulation, I will now keep my ears open for all your music❤
A beautiful song sung by a beautiful little girl with such a beautiful innocent voice and a stunning smile to boot. Well done precious girl and well done to the school for finding her and for getting all the children involved. It warms the heart.
Stunning!!!!!!! I've had this on a loop for 2 days and haven't heard it nearly enough. "God taught babies and children to offer perfect praise". Bless you Kaylee.
So cute. Im 35 this brought tears of joy
One of the best versions of this song I’ve ever heard. Well done to them all.
She really is such a beautiful young girl. Both her and all of the other kids that are singing along with her all have such beautiful voices. I really wish all of them and their families nothing but the very best for the rest of their lives.
I believe that Kaylee and kids like her are going to be the ones they give the privilege of singing in heaven! Wow, this is so moving. Merry Christmas.
What a darling little Angel. Just brought tears to my eyes.
God bless to you and all your friends for making this video possible. Pouring out love across the world touching many hearts, with such a lovely voice. I only wish you could be in my choir someday, but God bless, keep singing praise for Jesus for ever and ever Amen love Michael
When I seen this last year around Christmas time I kept listening to it over and over and there's very little songs I do that too they got to be as great as this one God bless

The most inspirational version of this song I've ever heard.
I was blown away by this rendition of Hallelujah performed by Kaylee Rogers and Killard House Special School Choir. I still get choked up when I listen to Kaylee sing this song. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world!
Seven years ago? wow... Kaylee Rogers is something else to behold.
I wish you and everyone was able to be on BGT. Please think about that or AGT next year. The world deserves to hear you all together. If I am feeling down, this song picks me up. Thank you.
Your voice is amazing Kaylee!
Will never tire of hearing this ---best version bar none
I'm a Chinese-Canadian, and this is one of my favorite Christmas carols. Kaylee and her fellow students did a great job. 👍
your voice just about melted this old Texas boy's heart. I've never heard a more beautiful voice in all my life. keep up the good work, and don't let the small things get you down. I'm sure you'll go far in life.
We hear Kaylee singing down here in Kingsville, Texas as well.
🙏🏽
@@joshuasmith7369 DFW area too. I went CZcams premium so I could listen without interruption. A mainstay around here especially during Christmas
Absolutely amazing , I listened to this when I was in a bad place marriage wise and now listen to it now I’m free, such an inspiration
I’ve shown my appreciation previously, but I wanted to tell you, even years later, when I need to feel good about humanity, this is one of the videos I know will warm my soul, along with Paul Simons ‘diamonds on the sole of her shoes’. Thank you again.
Kaylee Rogers you are so Amazing,what an Angel Voice, I hope you continue to sing for the Lord!!! God Bless you today and Always!!!!
4:59 permanent goosebumps and teary eyes. outstanding and exceptional performance!
I keep playing this over and over. Kaylee is fantastic and all the children are great. What a marvelous job the teachers are doing.
Damn.... This girl can sing!!!!
Most people seem to need the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (3)... But there is only one God! That God is the one backing Kaylee Rogers.
This is wonderful, thanks to great wonderful folks that have taken the time fir our children .. Thank you fot sharing.
A TRULY AMAZING Voice in this little girl singing a Not So Easy Song Bless her Gorgeous Heart ❤ I know she will go on to do more AMAZING things with her True Talent her Family would be so Proud of her and all the Parents to the Children in the background All Incredibly Beautiful Voices. If only I could belt out a song or two this Song would be my choice to learn LOVE IT! 😊 🦋 💜 🥰 Love This recording 🦄 🎵🎼🎶
I first heard this when I was going through some pretty heavy personal stuff. Was I in danger of throwing away God's greatest gift I don't think so but I'll never know. All I know is that I was down a d this choir of angels dragged me from the edge. I have no words but all I can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart. Merry Christmas and a happy new year
One thing is God doesnt always answer our prayers the way we expect him too but sometimes he sends little Angel's like these guys who's devotion to his word shines bright and shows us that he has heard our prayers and has not forsaken us.
Happy you are on the road up. I believe we all have been “down” in life, but it sure feels good when it passes.
I'm over the bad stuff. I was closer to the edge that I dared admit. I couldn't have made it without these babies. God bless you all xxx
Praise God for deliverance!
Kaylee Rogers has a special gift: Her voice. Not to mention her parents instilled principles as values and they all share them equally, and it's evident. I don't hope fame and fortune for Kaylee, but I do hope success for her. Whether with her voice or with other talents she uncovers and chooses to pursue. You go girl!
This is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard
Christmas Again! Time to listen to this song and be awe struck all over again. An annual delight.
Scott Comer celebrating again this time in February 🙌🏽
I hope life has given you all the rewards you deserve. Amazing voice and performance..you go girl!!!
Just beautiful! Thanks for this beautiful child with her beautiful voice--shows how each of us has a gift to share. We just need to look for the abilities despite the disabilities!
Very beautiful song. Very proud of you all as this song enters the heart at it's spot. Thank you all...
This blesses me so much every time I hear it. Just amazing! God bless you
Beautiful singer. I just love her!
