✨The special talent of the red-haired boy and the cover that stopped the entire street

There are performances that make you stop in the middle of the crowd—not because of a big stage, but because something unexpected and sacred is ringing out. The video of Allie Sherlock and the red-haired boy Fionn Wheelan singing “Hallelujah” on the street is one of those. Allie stands with her acoustic guitar, her voice clear yet deep. Beside her is a boy of about twelve, wearing a red Arsenal jersey, bright red hair, eyes focused, lifting the high notes in a way so natural it’s almost unbelievable. The crowd gathers, phones are raised, yet no one makes a sound. For me, it raises the question: how could an unknown boy and a street busker turn Leonard Cohen’s song into a moment that feels almost holy?

The answer lies in Fionn’s voice. He doesn’t try to imitate anyone. He simply sings. His voice is clear, slightly raspy on the high notes, carrying a sincerity and innocence that cannot be faked. When he sings “Hallelujah…,” the noise of the street seems to fall away. Allie supports him with gentle chords, never overpowering. That is the moment the song explodes—not through technique, but through pure clarity.

For me, the focus is always on Fionn. He stands steady before the crowd, his voice rising on the repeated lines, creating an immediate energy right in the middle of the street. Allie turns the corner into the place where the song is happening, while Fionn turns it into the place where emotion is set free.

Allie Sherlock began her career busking on the streets of Ireland. She returned to a familiar corner and met a boy whose voice made her call him “the next Ed Sheeran.” “Hallelujah” has always been a song about faith, love, and moments that are both sacred and earthly. When these two sing it on the street, it becomes an unexpected prayer in the middle of everyday life. No church or grand stage is needed.

Many people ask whether this is the best cover of “Hallelujah.” Compared with polished studio versions, it lacks “cleanliness.” But that very lack of perfection is its strength. It asks you to face the pure clarity of a boy and the gentle support of an adult.

The most admirable thing is that this moment has never accepted becoming a forgettable video. Every time the red-haired boy’s voice rises amid the crowd, I am pushed back into the right place: not someone being entertained, but someone forced to look straight at a talent burning brightly in the most natural way. This song does not need to be loved in the ordinary way. It only needs to be remembered—and for me, it has done that.

Prevention measures like an $11 bath mat could save Americans tens of thousands of dollars.

If Medicare would send these out to every recipient in America, I’ll bet the investment would pay for itself in under a year.

ATLANTA (AP)
The letter sent by nearly two dozen computer scientists, election security experts and voter advocacy organizations asks for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country, saying the software breaches have "urgent implications for the 2024 election and beyond." The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70 percent of the votes cast across the country, according to the letter. #PBS

Mark Kelly knows EXACTLY who the loathsome piece of shit is. If you're a veteran who is a still supporting Trump, it's time to stop wake the fuck up and recognize you're being conned by a grifting psychopath. 😳👇
