Goose bumps guaranteed
Madison sings. She is now inspiring people worldwide. The girl wants to prove that you can sing with Down syndrome too!
Madison Tevlin is already a star on YouTube at the age of twelve . The girl appears with a self-confidence that is incredibly admirable. But Madison does not just want to be famous. She wants to convey a message and inspire people worldwide.
The 12-year-old has clearly done that. Over four million copies of her video on YouTube have already been clicked, covering the song "All Of Me" by John Legend. The special feature: The girl has Down syndrome, in which the 21st chromosome exists in whole or in part in triplicate and is therefore also known as trisomy 21.
A common feature in people with Down syndrome is a rough, hoarse voice. In addition to speech disorders, it is usually inconceivable for many to sing. In order to move the vocal cords, Madison must muster twice as much energy as a person without Down's syndrome. But the girl sings. It proves that nothing is impossible if you just want it.
Madison Tevlin wants to inspire people around the world - that's what she has done with her impressive video. Her version of "All Of Me" creates goose bumps, even more so when you know how much power and effort is behind the vocals. Madison defies the statistics. She has Down syndrome. And she sings!
