Living with Tourette is quite a big challenge, ...
...especially in school.
Sometimes you can be doing work and you really want to...
...stay quiet and you might just shout something out.
Bumblebees!
It just kind of disrupts the flow of the class sometimes.
I love my bumblebees.
It can be a bit hard to try and be a positive person every day when I'm battling with this.
Especially when I go out in public.
Most people don't understand...
...what's going on so it comes very awkward and can be very embarrassing.
Stick 'em up!
Give me your money.
Give me your money!
But I want to be noticed for my singing and not my threats.
When you sing you don't have the tics?
Yeah, that's probably one of the things that I'm most grateful for.
Is that when I sing it just goes away.
It gives me a break from actually ticking.
Like a physical kind of relief.
It's really relaxing.
I'm finally at this point where I'm on The Voice.
I'm actually gonna be singing in front of the coaches.
It feels too good to be true, almost like it doesn't feel real.
Thank you.
What's your name and where you from?
I'm Adam Ladell, I'm 16 and I'm from Melbourne Victoria.
Uhm well yeah just to let you know. I have Tourette syndrome.
But you just sing.
Yeah when I sing it all goes away completely so it's the one..,
...time I actually get a release.
The magic of music. Right?
It's true, it's true.
We turned we don't know anything about you.
We turn around because we hear a beautiful voice.
We've heard a lot of voices.
Yeah, that was impressive. We're really impressed.
I was really impressed.
You got an angelic tone across that verse. I mean.. I was the first to turn on a..,
...great song choice as well.
Let me throw this in, how brave
You got guts getting up there and doing this.
I'm so impressed.
