ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) – A man facing sentencing figured he had nothing to lose by singing his own version of Adele’s song “Hello” to the judge. The Ann Arbor News reports 21-year-old Brian Earl Taylor sang to Washtenaw County Trial Court Judge Darlene O’Brien on March 10. He sang, “Hello there, your honor” and changed the words to, “I want to say I’m sorry for the things I’ve done and I’ll try and be stronger in this life I chose, but I want you to know, that door, I closed. And your honor I’m sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.” O’Brien says Taylor is “obviously a talented young man.” Still, she sentenced him to two years in prison on a concealed weapon charge and 18 months to 15 years for unlawful imprisonment.
