Just watched video on her mom who passed away..She has even surpassed her mother's talent, as evidence here at the young age of 16 years old..She made her mom proud..I am sure her mom is smiling down on her. Now,at 25 years old, she has a big career ahead of her, with her Angelic voice. Good luck to her on American Idol!

This American Idol story keeps getting better and better. 😭😭😭

[@maroon24722]

Idol brought me here, too. Bawling watching the family watching her, meeting her, feeling her mother again. Omg what to say? This sounds like it was made for record sales. At 16?! The singers, the orchestra, all of it! There’s a special someone watching over this amazing woman. Can’t wait to see more!❤

[@inertletters3364]

American Idol brought me here. Such a great voice!

[@angrylion4752]

She's going to win American Idol!!!!!! Whether 1st or last, she's a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hollywood needs to make a Movie about her Mother, and then through upto McKennas American Idol Audition! What a Tear Jerker but beautiful story! I was bawling! 😮❤

[@ginnykirsch6798]

A movie was made 2022...Google it...."Nowhere Man and a Whiskey Girl"

[@triawillow1972]

Idol brought me here and i am now a forever fan of this incredible artist. You've Got This Miss McKenna Breinholt!!!💜🫂💜

[@kimberlynporter5207]

Crazy to see her now 8 years later on American idol she’s grown so much so glad I’ve been following her all these years she’s so talented

[@3642sam]

For me, this is the most beautiful version of this song.

[@albrator7550]

Jeff Buckley's Version is hart to beat...

[@VentureWelding]

This is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever witnessed, now forever imprinted on my soul. 🙂

[@frankrossi2826]

I got 3 months left. Colon cancer. I'm at peace but want everyone to hear her fantastic voice at my funeral WTF she was only 16 when she sang it. What a voice! !!

Beautiful all around!!! What a precious gift!!! Her audition on American Idol makes me cry every time! The tribute to her birth mother, 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@cutiebabe36]

She didn't know about her birth mother for 4 more years.

[@nativson6312]

A 16 year old Spirit so beautiful and in Gods Love and Will ! This moved my broken heart and I am Blessed !

[@alex1chang1]

Must give her my highly praise to sing out her own style at such a young age.

[@ferr776]

Her voice is very special, soft but strong, deep but so clear.... Beautiful ¡¡

[@shpgrl1026]

There are no words when this song builds with the choir. Just wow. I am speechless and crying.

[@vickysims3604]

Please send me the lyrics

[@rontroy3843]

Years later, this still sounds amazing, and then there's the video of the symphony, choir, and this wonderful singer. What else is there to say?

[@petermccracken2247]

No matter who sings this song, this song will humble anyone. McKenna , does this song really well !!

[@davide.wardsr.9306]

No matter who sings it, it's not at all accurately Scriptural. Prove me wrong. Read the lyrics. Then read what you think it corresponds to in the Bible. The music is great but the only thing Holy in it is the word HALLELUJAH.

[@fernandorivera7155]

Kudos to 16 years old McKenna, the orchestra, the choir, and everyone who participated in this video recording. Absolutely a beautiful performance.

[@brucewayne9531]

It's January 2021 and I just discovered this splendid version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah

[@scottandcynthiacolegrove7848]

Wow. At 16 to be able to control your nerves in such a setting and sing with such a beautiful tone. It shows great maturity in her voice. Whether anyone likes her version or not, they can not deny her talent.

Yes!!! May extra blessings pour over her all of her days!
