Incredible.

If you’re not familiar with the name Allie Sherlock, you should be.

The 12-year-old busker from Cork has been stunning audiences on the streets of Cork and Dublin for the past while now with her covers and divine renditions of songs we all know and love.

This week though, she was far enough away from home when she appeared on The Ellen Show to sing Adele’s A Million Years Ago. 

And she was nothing short of amazing.

That voice, though.

This isn’t the first time Allie had been invited onto the show too.

Last year, it was reported that the Cork girl had been asked to appear on the US programme, but she declined due to the pressures associated with such fame.

However, Allie was clearly convinced as she blew everybody away on the show yesterday.

Introducing her, Ellen said: “When I saw a video of our next guest singing on the streets of Dublin I knew I had to meet her.”

After her performance, Allie received a standing ovation.

Ellen also asked the 12-year-old whether she feels bad when people don’t stop for her on the street.

Allie said she wasn’t all that bothered though.

“It’s grand if they don’t stop,” she said. “They obviously have other things to do.”
