The story behind our choir and Shallow
This is the speech given by Colette Kearney (choir director) before Chris and Jess sang Shallow at the BT Young Scientis Gala Ball. It explains the history of the choir. It also details how Shallow came to life at Christmas time and how one song has changed us all.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Right there a true Star was born! Hopefully, both. 6:28
That teacher is so inspirational. Beautifully spoken and I could listen to that version all day.
Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to them sing.
Her voice is amazing! I love his voice as well!
Love Chris and Jess singing together so much. They are absolutely stunning. Please keep the songs coming guys, much love and support from Canada.

I could hear it in all you said. I just watched it again. Chris and Jess were already stars by this time. 😁 I think you’re an amazing woman Colette, and the kids are very lucky. I know that they feel that way too. 🌹💕I just realized, but it’s a great time to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day! I don’t know if you are a mother of your own, but you certainly have plenty in this choir that think of you that way!
