Babies aren’t exactly the most eloquent people in the world.
I mean, they can’t even talk. Some make vague sounds remotely resembling real words, but absolutely nobody expects them to be able to sing.
Well, meet Imogen Rose. She hasn’t exactly learned how to form real words, but she’s definitely getting there, one song at a time.
Right now, Baby’s clearly in a bad mood.
That is until Mom starts singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.”
Imogen Rose’s face instantly dissolves into joy. Just like that.
Although this adorable baby woke up on the wrong side of the bed, her mother’s soothing tone clearly brightens the day.
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is a popular classic adored by babies everywhere.
The piece was even touched by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Although some incorrectly credit him with writing the original melody, he truly only adapted the work. In fact, he wrote a set of variations on the tune in the 1780s.
But who wrote the original melody? Unfortunately, we simply don’t know. Scholars speculate that the original could date back to 1740s France.
The popular lyrics, on the other hand, come from an 1806 poem named “The Star,” written by English author Jane Taylor. “The Star” is a fantastic work in its own right, featuring verses that aren’t associated with the popular lullaby. Soon enough, the poem was set to the famous melody – and the rest is history.
Mom continues her serenade.
“Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.”
Wait, is that a pool of drool seeping from Imogen Rose’s mouth? Well, it doesn’t matter. She clearly doesn’t mind.
Naturally, baby Imogen Rose loves “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
So much so that she joins in on the singing!
Although she can’t really form words, her “goos” and “gahs” line up with her mom’s soft voice.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star”
Are we witnessing the growth of a future singing prodigy?
She struggles to keep up with Mom, but she’s fantastic for a newborn. Just wait until she can actually form real words!
We might be looking at the next Aretha Franklin or Janis Joplin right here.
By this point, Imogen Rose’s drool has almost gotten out of hand, but that doesn’t hold her back at all. She squints in concentration.
Imogen Rose focuses, trying carefully to hit the correct pitches, following her mother’s lead.
Sure, they’re no Simon and Garfunkel, but the result’s absolutely adorable.
Imogen Rose lets out an operatic “ah!”
At this point, her chin’s completely covered in saliva.
Mom brings the short lullaby to a fine conclusion, followed by an endearing “yayyyy” for her daughter’s audacious efforts.
All things considered, baby Imogen Rose sang spectacularly.
Mom isn’t half bad, herself.
We might be witnessing the origins of greatness! Imogen Rose’s singing career has just begun. What’s she going to sound like in five years? What about ten? I have some pretty high expectations after her adorable “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” duet.
So what do you think of Imogen Rose’s incoherent, outstanding performance? Singing isn’t exactly easy for a baby! These skills take time to develop. She’s certainly off to an incredible start!
Definitely check out the entirety of Imogen Rose and her mother’s adorable duet in the video below! Mozart would be proud – not necessarily for the technical mastery, but surely for the musical passion.
