Carly Ryan sings "Mercy" - Autistic Superstars

[OrazioGabriele67]

Fabulous .... Love it

Shame I missed the program when it was on :(

[guyvh]

I watched the whole show on the BBC and I was very impressed with all of the people on the show, particularly Carly she is a real sweetheart and she has a fantastic set of pipes which are very well suited to Soul/R&B!

Special mention must go to her parents who have dedicated their whole lives to raising two autistic children...and may I say they are doing a damn fine job!

[mariegirlnz]

Amazing voice. Glad she has this outlet to use. Its a talent. My son has Aspergers and at almost 5 will be interesting to see him grow and learn. For those of you being so rude and judgemental, take a look in the mirror and see whos the one with no talent! Clearly YOUR parents never bothered to teach you respect!

[xebbakitty]

The audience is old as fuck and show it by just sitting there. Maybe she should have sung Jingle Bells for those old fucks.

[woodsmissful]

@xebbakitty Ok, minus all of the " fucks " I agree with you; It's like they came to see an oddity instead of listen to some awesome music. It may take awhile before we learn to look at people who have disabilities and see the person underneath.

[aliveinfaith]

Amazing voice Carly!! :D

[paulinemartina]

brilliant xx well done lovely xx

[matrixspawn2009]

wow intelligent responses

[ABroadwaystar2534]

she is so cool!

[lokicidad]

WOW, she is amazing!!

[kippy400]

Amazing voice! Not kidding!!!

[SCOTTYDOG91]

She reminds me of that popular internet pic of the guy who looks like a thumb.

[binstig]

@SCOTTYDOG91 You remind me of someone so insignificant. No Beano's for you!

[MrJoeygregory]

wow im floored she is amazing !!!!

[ANXECY]

wooowwww...goooddddd..

[Nicky131Popstar]

She's good!

[candy8968]

Omgosh!!! she's Fab! :D

p.s: some ppl really need to think before the comment........cuz alot of them are really uncalled for and a tad bit discriminative. -_-

[TheJulesalicious]

shes amazing!!

[charlieblond008]

who cares if someone is autistic or what...She has an amazing voice and I really admire her! And that is what counts!:)

[swingmallyswing1960]

fab version, well done carly, keep singing

[beckyoblivious]

There's just one thing that I don't understand. Why do they have to make a special show just for autistic people? Why can't they go to American Idol or something? For what I've heard she's a really good singer... This isn't meant as a offence. I just can't understand why they have to exclude these people like this.

[chazbc4]

@beckyoblivious if you'd actually seen the programme then you would have seen how freaking hard she had to work, and how hard the specialised staff had to work with this girl to get her do display her talents as such. They wouldn't have the patience, time, or specialised staff on any other programme.

[beckyoblivious]

@chazbc4 okay than it's definitely a thing to give her a chance like that :)

[ZTOID]

Wow, judging from her/his size she must be from the US.

[lorus25]

@mrgnvq. Quite simply sir you are a tit, I watched the show when is aired and had nothing but admiration for these kids and there families who are living with autistic kids, never once did I laugh so don't label everyone the same. Reggie Yates did a great job putting it together and I doubt him or the BBC intended it for cheap giggles. Your post would have been deleted long ago

[jackcliff]

This is such an amazing show! I'm a music therapist and work with children with autism and I love to explore their musical talents and abilities! Too much of society focuses on their disability but I want to do completely opposite! I'm planning on starting a choir for children with various abilities alike! Go! keep the posts coming!

[EmmaCRBsoldwork]

I love her version of Back to Black. Does anyone have it or know where I can find it?

[redmanlfc1]

@EmmaCRBsoldwork Back to Black is now on Youtube

[bridgiexoxo]

shes great !!! 

[mrgnvq]

I think everyone here is getting angry at the wrong people. This show was disgusting and just a of exploiting these kids for entertainment. Having an innocent laugh at these people is no worse than laughing at the pond life they put in big brother or x factor. This program wasnt commissioned to showcase the talent of autistic kids, it was to satisfy the morbid curiosity of people that our different to us. And im talking to all of you here. sorry

[artworxonline]

@mrgnvq The snippets that we have seen from this show have brought very MUCH hope to our family regarding our autistic 2 yr old. So, although you may be correct regarding your assumptions as to the motivation behind the production of the show ( i do not have enough information to come to a conclusion one way or the other) it has brought much peace into our home.

[gnsvks]

JUST PERFECT!! :) HELLOS FROM GREECE!

[Jinx9516]

Wow.. she's great!!

[robincrazy]

You go girl!!!!

[SirAl3xs]

she is like in to it you go girl :D

[whittdiane]

Don't talk about someone who has a autism and can have such talent. My son is autistic and they are very smart. You people look at people like that and judge them even if she is bigger, she has a tremendous voice. If you knew what autism was then you would understand that is a talent for autistic children. the difference in autistic children or people is that they have a heart when no of you do and you can't even come close to know what it's like. Remember what goes around will come around!

[Negami17]

@whittdiane I completely agree with you! I'm also an autistic person (but not very severe) and it still amaze me on how much talent that we can do. I can sing, dance, act, modeling (but I don't care about the appearance), play guitar, piano, drums, soccerball (football), basketball, baseball. I'm also having troubles when I'm on stage singing, dancing or acting, and reading these horrible comments from those doesn't understand autism really makes me sick! >:(

[Hatten1A]

@whittdiane absolutely right !!!

God Bless Carly Ryan <<<

Thx 4 sharing

[goci983]

@whittdiane <3

[redmanlfc1]

@SCOTTYDOG91 You are another talentless no mark who hides behind the anonymity of the internet.. Well done moron!!

[SCOTTYDOG91]

@redmanlfc1 i never claimed to have talent?

[redmanlfc1]

@SCOTTYDOG91 No but you're still a no mark

[crawlerdozer]

To FENRIZ218 You are a complete waste of life. Maybe someone should burry you under the ground with your veg & do the people who have the misunfortune of knowing you a huge favour as you obviously arn't human. By the way she isnt handicapped or retarded either, she has autism completely different diagnosis altogether. Someone who knows sooooo much about life ought to know that. STUPID!!!

[crawlerdozer]

It isnt just 'dislike' though is it scottydog91 its downright nasty comments from some doilem who hasnt got a clue. You obviously know nothing about autism and if someone was so nasty to my 2 autistic children they would know about it. And what has tom cruise got to do with anything that comment still doesnt justify your uncalled for evilness. Her size & the way she looks has nothing to do with anything. Dont watch in future. Im sure your a super model.

[tetheredthinker]

As someone with Aspergers, I know for a fact how hard it would have been for her to get up on stage and sing in front of all those people. People with Autism and Aspergers struggle everyday to fit in and function just the same as the rest of you people out there. It's just harder for us because what comes naturally to you, doesn't to us. We are not retarded, we are not vegetables. We are people just like you. The difference is we would NEVER say such horrible things to you as you have to us.

[dabin88]

@tetheredthinker Yes I know Aspergers people still get ignored and many people don't appreciate the fact that we suffer badly. As a person who has it, I feel that we get a rougher end than our Autistic cousins as we understand what goes on in the world around us and yet still suffer some problems that Autistic people suffer from and whats worse is that many people cannot see this, but we feel it. Autism is easier to spot as people can see it. Aspergers is hidden in our minds.

[MiMiStarxO]

Carly Ryan , you are a FANTASTIC singer.

And I think she looks stunning here :)

[ak3654]

@fenriz218 ur the waste of time! Get a life! And now I'm DONE with u!

[ak3654]

@fenriz218 I wish you could work with people with autism for 1 day and c what they r actually like! Hope u never have the privelidge 2 become a parent! U wouldn't be any good at it by the sound of it! Why do u look at these songs if u r not going 2 say anything good? Get a life u sad man, if u can call urself a man!

[orlandy101]

@fenriz218 you are a disgrace. its not curable because its not a disease. If ur going to be vile then be vile somewhere else because quite obviously you have an IQ of about 10

[orlandy101]

@fenriz218 She is not a ' THING'

there is nothing wrong with them They are just like you and me but with an advanced form of shyness.. it amazes me how people like you are bold enough to insult people in such a way

[orlandy101]

@fenriz218 How can you say something like that ? calling my sister a fucking vegetable how very dare you ...

There is no comparison at all. She has a communication disorder. She struggles to talk to people because she has a fear of them. you are a disgrace to human nature. Do some fucking research TWAT !

[orlandy101]

@DayAndAge711 ok you go stand on stage and sing then . Fucking twat

[orlandy101]

@FoerverUnited077 your a disgrace

A complete an utter disgrace... firstly for thinking that autism would kill her . If you did any fucking research you'd realise its not like that. Its a disorder she is born with. Its a communication disorder. Not a fucking mental illness. Grow up and learn some respect

[orlandy101]

@fenriz218 you should be fucking ashamed of yourself!! Do you realise how fucking offensive and horrible ur comments are. i have people very close to me , my sister to name one who has autism and your comments are vile. This girl has so much guts to sing on a stage when its hard enough as it is for her to even look at people let alone sing to them . your the thick twat so shut up

[orlandy101]

@Nicoleena61198 Dont be pathetic

[orlandy101]

@fenriz218 What a horrible thing to say !

do you have any idea about what disorder she has ? Your pathetic

[heva8813]

i think carly sang brillantly! it brings hope and inspiration to families out there! thank you for that hope cause we all need it! x

[dowling1981]

@heva8813 Is her Greatest Hits due to be released in time for Christmas?

[heva8813]

@dowling1981 no she has alot more courage that what you will ever have, in fact go onto youtube dowling1981 type in autistic son or autism and see how didficult it is! its AMAZING that your older than me and yet you have such low intelligence. it offends ppl who have to live with it everyday the comments you and the other non intelligent people have put on here. and whilst your n the internet go on the national autistic society and see what autism is, to give you a better understanding :D

[orlandy101]

@heva8813 Well said !! My sister has autism so reading some of the twats comments on here is quite upsetting.

[dowling1981]

@heva8813 I admire your passion and belief in what you say. You speak with nobility and wisdom. What happened to the other guy that sang in that concert?

[heva8813]

@Nicoleena61198 sings crappy? emr well for your info a majority of children with autism cant talk let alone sing! so its an accomplishment! you dont even know what autism is so stop makin insults on a autism page!

[heva8813]

@fenriz218 retards? that is polically incorrect. i wish you bad luck this month fenriz218. bad karma will get you !

[heva8813]

@fenriz218 what disrespect you have, clearly you dont know an autistic person and in fatc probably dont know what autism is! jabba the hut?! put ur ugly mug pic up and lets see ppl judge you! ill be at the top of the list!

having sumone in family with autism is extremely difficult! learn about what something is before making judgements!

[angelmagick]

Sing it Carly!!!

[pelley015]

great job i love this song.

[crawlerdozer]

@alman53 maybe you should loose some weight, a beheading should do the trick.

[SCOTTYDOG91]

@crawlerdozer Alot of you on here are self righteous idiots, you moan at people who insult her, yet if they insulted say...tom cruise, you wouldnt care, why? because tom cruise hasnt got a disability. Just because someone has a disability why does that make them free from ridicule? why do people with disabilities deserve special protection from dislike? and by the way people, she is fat, because her parents give her sweets and cakes, shes naturally fat.

[redmanlfc1]

@SCOTTYDOG91 keep taking the tablets. how do you know what her parents feed her

[crawlerdozer]

I cant believe some of the comments ive read on here. Nicoleena61198 & furiz218 to name but a few are complete idiots & are the typical ignorant a***holes that we could do with out. Only people who are privileged to be accepted into the world of autism will understand what these children have acheived & I hope to god that any of your children or grandchildren dont have disabilities the poor things deserve better than you as parents.

[livhall2010]

Carly You Are A Great Singer ! :)

[ratoc19844]

awww thats so brave of her! :')

the others did great aswell <3

[redmanlfc1]

@stannymanny But she has talent and ability to appear on a live tv transmission, Take a look at yourself

[redmanlfc1]

@fenriz218 Talking of retards, when can we see you

[risuuuuuuu]

how old is she ? o.O

[StrapOnBass]

The people Commenting on this.. Be ashamed

[pinkixtheEMO]

state of her

[passthejamjim]

An inspiration to us all, respect Carly babe looking hawt mama!

[51RedstarMusic]

Damn, bitch is fine

[xXxRaybabeXxX]

@thomassu1697 hahaha u got that phrase from a facebook group didn't you? :')

[SuzLa1]

She's a good singer, but I don't think her weight issue has anything to do with her disability has it? Her parents aren't doing her any favours by pleasing her with sweets and cakes, if she wants to go on stage as a singer.

[redmanlfc1]

@SuzLa1 You are probably right that her weight is not a product of her autism, but don't assume that it is purely dietary. Weight issues are often a product of other medical problems. Open your mind.

[crawlerdozer]

@redmanlfc1 Peolpe with autism dont have problems with weight they have problems with food phobias as well as medication for other problems.

[orlandy101]

@SuzLa1 see the problem is , with a disorder like that ( my sister has it so im used to it) they get into routines and they have obsessions and if they dont get what they want its literally like the end of the world to them because once they have their mind set on something that is all the will think about. My sister demands every sims game going and its all she thinks about day and night and she also has to have a bottle of coke every saturday. Carly is most likely the same about food

[TheCherrytree01]

@200690101 MUST BE BIGGER THAN YOUR BRAIN THEN

[xXxRaybabeXxX]

@TheCherrytree01 :D hahaha good one!

[lochnessysplace]

She's a lot braver than me for sure, who cares what she looks like! She's an amazing human being who has obviously faced a whole lot of challenges and come out the other side, to all those haters- go get bent!

[redmanlfc1]

@thomassu1697 She might have lots of chins, but she's got more talent than you'll ever have

[Babycakes12000]

This girl went to my school!

[mycatiscool52]

This actually isn't that good...eh, guess it's just me. I'd say BRAVO because i can't do any better.

[daveyt25]

@mycatiscool52 This girl has autism. She has done remarkably well to stand up and sing in front of all of those people. Keep your negativity to yourself and show some support!

[mycatiscool52]

@daveyt25 I find it funny that you would say that because what i said wasn't negative at all i said, and i quote, "BRAVO because i can't do any better" Yes, she did do well, but i wasn''t amazed by it. Have a nice day.

[daveyt25]

@mycatiscool52 But you're missing the point. You have to remember that this isn't the X-Factor, it's about people with Autism finding the courage to do something like this. 100% praise to these remarkable young people that are brave enough to stand up in front of all of those people (considering their disabilities) and sing in a pretty scary world. That's my point.

I worked closely with young people with Autism for years and completely get how huge this is, Their families must be so proud!

[mycatiscool52]

@daveyt25 I understand. I didn't know what the show was, or what it was about. I assumed that it was something like Americas Got Talent. Sorry.

[daveyt25]

@FoerverUnited077 Amusing that you think that Autism can kill and spread. Your comment is a mirror of your own ignorance. Go get yourself a life, little boy. Tragic really.

[Mariegungor]

Carly you are amazing, each time I hear you sing I want to hear more. You voice is brilliant.

[Mariegungor]

Amazing Carly, you are such a star, I love all your songs. You have such an amazing voice..

[sharonastairs]

[iceman140uk]

[miniarkchick]

dayandage711 u are sick, i hope u get what u deserve for being a sorry human being!!! and same for u foreveruntied077 watch what u say as it will come back to u!!

[wackyracer666]

dear mr FoerverUnited077 and mr DayAndAge711 you have just proved to the world that you share 1 whole briancell. You also lack any decent education. The only language you are able to utter is profanity. You really are at the bottom of the foodchain. Don't bother to react I allready know the level of your limited conversational skills.

[cabbageboo]

To those who speaks from the rear end, do realized what you comment on here reflects your upbringing. I feel so sorry for your parents. I totally agree with fimitiadei, karma will strike them back. Until then....we'll just have to sit back and watch what the fools do what they do best.

[fimitatiadei]

hahahahaha - you guys have never even been with a girl have you? Little insignificant boys that post crap on videos are soooo gonna get the girls. 1. grow up 2. develop interpersonal skills 3. try learning from the environment around you - autism effects every family, your allegedly hilarious remarks will bite you in the ass when its your sister/brother/daughter/son/ni­ece/nephew/cousin - when you understand, you will regret - till then, have fun with your conscience while it lasts

[BEAT102103]

Itz a pity tha ur a faggit

[redmanlfc1]

@BEAT102103 Its spelt FAGGOT not faggit. About your level really.

[daveyt25]

@BEAT102103 Need a little help with your spelling? Here goes little boy... 'It's a pity that you're a little faggot'. Intelligent input, thanks for that enlightenment.

[redmanlfc1]

Its a pity that those with closed minds can't keep their mouths shut

[redmanlfc1]

To all tyou tell what yours are.he morons making comments about Carly, well done boys, you've just proved that free speech has a downside. Carly has a defined medical condition , can

[DoYaLoveMex]

ah, carly is great :D

[redmanlfc1]

What a great version of Mercy. Who is this girl?? Can we hear more!! You rock Carly!!
