Within days, the clip, shared by Principal Jennifer Alexander, had drawn more than 1 000 comments and over 3 000 likes and shares.

Liam's mother, Clarise, says the biggest surprise was when Butler himself reposted the video on Instagram with a direct message, saying the young singer reminded him of how he had sounded at 13.
