Some folks are just born with a soul that sings.
It’s not something you can pick up from a book or a class; it’s a part of who you are. And little Demetrius Fisher?
Well, he’s got a soul that’s been singing since before he could walk.
Demetrius, not even two years old, became a sensation on the internet when his grandma, Lydia Majette, caught him on camera singing a gospel song from the backseat of her car.
His sweet voice touched the hearts of millions, racking up millions of views in a matter of weeks.
In the video that stole the hearts of so many, Demetrius is seen buckled up in his car seat, safe and sound in the back of his grandma’s car.
The tune that’s playing?
It’s “Better than Blessed” by Louise ‘Candy’ Davis, a gospel singer who made a name for herself with the Malaco Music Group.
The song shares its name with her most popular album.
“Better than Blessed,” the song that Demetrius sings with such passion, was a collaboration between Davis and Dr. L.C. Jones, who was her booking agent when the song was released.
The song was a hit, spending a whopping 65 weeks on the Billboard Top Gospel chart and becoming Davis’s signature tune.
The video captures Demetrius, in his tiny toddler voice, belting out the lyrics to Davis’s iconic song.
His heartfelt rendition of “Better Than Blessed,” along with his adorable expressions, is enough to make anyone fall in love with him.
It’s clear that the song holds a special place in the hearts of Demetrius and his grandma.
Despite his young age, Demetrius seems to know all the words, hinting that this is a song they share often.
But the song isn’t just a favorite tune; it carries a deep significance for the family.
Demetrius was diagnosed with a severe heart condition while still in the womb.
The doctors suggested termination, but his parents stood their ground and chose to fight for their son’s life.
At just five days old, Demetrius underwent open-heart surgery.
He’s been healthy ever since, earning him the affectionate nickname from his grandma, “Mister Better Than Blessed.”
His soulful performance from the backseat of his grandma’s car went viral when it was shared several years back.
People were smitten by his adorable expressions and his passionate performance.
Comments poured in, like “This had me crying because it’s the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time. Bless this little guy! He’s a happy baby.”
Another person wrote:
“OMG, that has to be the most adorable thing in the world. Not only is he cute, but to sing along with a gospel song at such a young age is truly amazing. Bless his little heart.”
His grandma later shared,
“We had no idea that so many would be blessed by him. We are humbled and forever grateful for the caring and sharing from so many around the world.”
