Local girl makes splash in new Target commercial

NEW YORK

An 11-year-old girl, Denise Bestman, from a Staten Island school chorus appeared in a Target Ad singing the Adele song, "Rolling in the Deep."

"Everybody, all my class mates, they were like 'Oh my god, my class mate was on TV,'" Denise said.

We first met Denise last year when she attended PS22 Middle School and she seasoned those pipes as a member of the school's famed chorus, performing at Disneyland, and at last year's Academy Awards.

It was at ps22 where Denise first sang "Rolling in the Deep."

The performance received more than one million views on YouTube, Adele's official website even linked to the video.

And while Adele may have walked away with six Grammys, the 11-year-old phenomenon walked away with 40 million hearts.
