December is the most magical month of the year as anything amazing could happen—especially when it’s closer to Christmas.
These two teens in Ireland showcased their most impressive talent, blowing millions of people away. With Christmas fast approaching, members of the Mount Sion Choir in Ireland decided to bring the people an early Christmas gift: their wholesome smiles. The choir group comprised of 25 members ranging from ages 12 to 19 led by Colette Kearney, the group’s choir director. It was the group’s first Christmas-themed concert, and the concert was held at the St. Patrick’s Gateway Centre in Waterford City.
Two choir members presented their audience that night with an unexpected duo performance.
19-year old teen boy Christopher Halligan paired up with Jessica Reinl, a 17-year old girl to sing a rendition of “Shallow.”
For those who don’t know, it’s a beautifully written song and one of the famous soundtracks featured in the popular 2018 romantic musical drama film called A Star Is Born.
The original was sung by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, with the song winning numerous awards along with the film itself.
The teen duet revived the song during the night of the Mount Sion Choir concert, in front of many people.
The duo interpreted the song’s emotions quite accurately!
The song was mainly about a couple conversing about how to make their love work by diving deep without falling short in the shallow.
Halligan and Reinl dove into that concept, brought their passions into the mix and sang the song wholeheartedly.
Not only did they accurately interpret its beautiful meaning, but they were able to stay close to the song’s structure without ignoring the key elements of what made that song what it is.
At such a young age, they were already oozing with talent!
Their performance made it into the internet and blew millions of people away.
Mount Sion Choir shared the duo’s incredible rendition of the song on YouTube and it was able to rack up millions of views.
Many were so impressed by their cover that it started to spread on several social media platforms including Facebook, drawing them more attention on the internet.
The choir director shared that the duo only rehearsed the song once, but they were just stunned looking at their audience crying tears of happiness upon hearing them sing that song during the concert.
The spotlight shone on them for a long time after their clip went viral!
The choir, most especially the formidable duo gained a lot of attention that people started to recognize them wherever they perform.
In 2019, Reinl and Halligan were both invited to sing the same duet in the Waterford Institute of Technology arena during their event called the Waterford Peace Proms. The arena was filled with people, surrounding the teen singers on the center stage.
You could notice how much they improved in just a few months after the concert!
Peace Proms released their rendition on DVDs and to their digital platforms, allowing people a chance to buy it for a limited time.
There were definitely two stars who were born on that night of December, and they were Jessica Reinl and Christopher Halligan, the amazing choir singers who shared their wonderful, heart-melting voices during their choir group’s Christmas concert.
