11-year-old nails Adele's 'Hello'
Adele's powers are many and manifest; so much so, in fact, that anyone who can master that yearning, heartfelt delivery in her songs is pretty much guaranteed internet fame.
Especially when that master of heartbreak is an 11-year-old; who you would think is far too young to believably be delivering lines like, "they say that time's supposed to heal you, but I ain't done much healing", but there you go. This kid's got a soulful head on his shoulders.
Tryzdin Grubbs' take on Adele's hit Hello has left the internet in absolute awe, joining in on his family's standing ovation for the performance in its own digital fashion. The clip has earned nearly 2.5M viewers since it was first posted, with so many praising Grubbs' musical talents.

Furthermore, the video's caption unfolded an inspiring backstory to Grubb's performance. "Tryzdin is 11 yrs old and born prematurely, he was not expected to make it home from the hospital due to complications including premature lungs," his mother, Lisa Mason Grubbs, wrote on Facebook.
"11 yrs later he fought through adversity and just wants to make people happy with his gift. His top priority once he 'makes it big' he says he will take care of the homeless and children in foster care. His heart is as big as his voice and should be shared."
Adele recently broke YouTube's records in becoming the fastest video to reach 1BN views, for the song 'Hello' as taken from her third album 25.
