OK, so you’re allowed to laugh a little at this video because it is funny. Go on, admit it. But it’s also strangely compelling and more than a little saddening.
Tourette Syndrome is no laughing matter. People who suffer from it spend their life experiencing tics, both physical and verbal. So they may swear a lot, keep coughing, or randomly whistle.
Now imagine trying to sing karaoke while suffering from tics like that. In fact, don’t imagine, just watch this guy who bravely decided to post videos of his efforts to the Web.
This is him singing Gold by Spandau Ballet but there are loads of other videos on his YouTube channel. They’re all brilliant, primarily because the guy can actually sing, and manages to do so despite his illness.
