The story behind our choir and Shallow

[@jenniferjusten7253]

Whos still watching almost a year later!? What a gift to us all!👏🏼 Lady Gaga would be so proud!❤💐

[@mountsionchoir2234]

It's a year this weekend and what a gift it's been to our choir and young people💕

[@elifcakmak7006]

I just can’t stop watching them they are so good 😊

[@jadereyes990]

Same

[@MMikeHD3904]

Same here!

[@vanna13v]

Me too! Hahahaha

[@shellabbie3377]

Wow! What a beautiful inspiring story. May God continue to bless you all

[@stevemullin7472]

Wow. I had no idea this young lad was a troubled kid. All I saw was an incredible talent when I saw this song went viral. The original video from these kids was absolutely amazing. It gave me chills. It's a shame that if this simple choir program didn't exist he may not have ever found happiness. Hearing the back story about this choir and these kids makes it all that more special. This world needs programs and teachers like this. God bless this science teacher who knows nothing about music but may not recognize it but knows everything about humans.

[@mountsionchoir2234]

Christopher struggled in school in first year but once we set up the choir, it transformed his life. He's a great character and his kindness shines through in all the videos.

[@lcjones0519]

Mount Sion Choir I want to see more videos!! I wish you could invite Jessica for different songs maybe she could help reach out to the other kids to get them to reach their full potential as a vocalist.

Where did you hear his story?

@@jeanettekniebusch9532 if you listen to the speech before the song, you'll hear Christopher's story

[@EssellPlays]

Chris’ voice is amazing, don’t think he knows how good he is, would love to hear more from him. Jess’ voice is unreal, one of the best I’ve heard singing this song. Probably better than the original.

[@mananagarwal637]

Their voices are absolutely fantastic and like how it is a bit more toned down than the original, makes it easier on the ears and an absolute pleasure to hear.

[@alexmay2825]

I like it much better than the original. Better said: To me *this* is the original.

WHO ARE THESE KIDS! I have never been more proud to be Irish. Someone needs to get them a record deal ASAP. I’m over here in America wishing I was at my homeland just so I had the chance to meet these two before they become seriously famous.

[@mountsionchoir2234]

Thanks Abbie, we are so proud of them too and all the lads, they've touched hearts across the world♥️🇮🇪🌎

[@Calgamma898]

This teacher is awesome. Love her story and message, and dedication to helping young people reach for their dreams. Well spoken too and love the Irish accent. Great duet too!

Thank you❤

Could listen to the science teachers voice all day

[@garyjolley8428]

There is sooo much love on that stage especially when they look at each other...singing. Pure dedication from the teacher.. watching the two of you young people excel in life is the greatest gift you could ever give her..

Thanks Gary. That was such a special event and performance.

They bring hope to a a world that seems to be falling apart at the seams! It's now August of 2020' and this is great.. I'm in the USA...

[@mountsionchoir2234]

Stay hopeful. We'll make it through these tough times together❤

[@JeepTJWheelin]

God is in control. The bible foretold these events over two thousand years ago. For those not living in the faith, this is total chaos. For Christians, this is God's word living out bible prophesy. Read revelations. God bless 🕆

[@dorothyhurst4580]

I’m so proud to be Irish and having heard Chris’s story I love him even more.

[@mountsionchoir2234]

Thanks Dorothy, we are incredibly proud of Chris and all the young people involved.

[@dianapatton5609]

Bravo to Colette Kearney. Congratulations to Chris and Jessica for the beginning of a long career. Together or separately they will go far. Much love from the USA.

[@warriorlink8612]

It goes viral because the world needs to hear this, they want to hear this. It stirs such emotion and heart of humanity. It is a beautiful song and beautifully sang.

[@Hc56778]

I watched every video of them singing multiple times! As a special needs mom I pray one day my son is included in such an awesome program like you have here! Love from Philly! Keep up the good work!

I remember when Celine Dion sang the song for the movie Titanic, we could feel her voice in our hearts and our souls, I feel the same way with these kids from Ireland, they are magnificent.

[@baldwinwallace4926]

That's exactly how I feel. I tear up every time that I hear them sing it.

[@tylerbyrne9362]

Gotta give props to Colette Kearney (science teacher / choir director), way to keep the music alive & for us to hear.... best wishes to you all, from the USA.

[@SJM6791]

They have no idea how good their voices really are. It’s nice seeing two extremely talented young people who are humble and not completely full of themselves. I’m rooting for these kids to make it big.

[@tomstanton1938]

Better every time I hear it. Better than the original in my opinion
