On the Little Big Shot portion of the Steve Harvey show, audiences are treated to countless different kinds of talents from tiny tots. It’s a favorite part of the talk show for many, and this time around, the portion featured an incredible 11-year-old singer from Ireland named Kaylee.
Kaylee stepped onto the stage in a lovely dress and with a smile that immediately won over many watching. She was singing the famous “Hallelujah”, a song that has been covered time and time again, and she was performing alongside the amazing acapella group Pentatonix.
The moment Kaylee began to sing, her voice seemed much too big and powerful for her body! It carried across the room and sounded so much like a grown up’s voice – and what a beautiful, wonderful voice it is. Each note she sang rang out true and clear, carried by the lovely lilts and lifts of her singing.
When Pentatonix sang out to accompany her, the crowd went wild! Despite how seasoned Pentatonix are as performers, Kaylee easily held her own against them, harmonizing perfectly with their voices as they sang into the night. Even the usually comical Steve Harvey couldn’t help feeling moved by this performance!

Kaylee, who is on the autistic spectrum and has ADHD, was previously non-verbal and it was believed that she may never be comfortable with speaking to others, much less performing in front of a huge audience like this! Through music, Kaylee found her voice, and now she’s showing off her gorgeous voice and incredibly talent on a stage with some of the world’s best singers. If that doesn’t inspire you, I don’t know what will!
