An original song with music and lyrics by Nick Fradiani Sr. After a death of his daughter's friend, he wrote this to comfort her. 'A piece of you still burns inside my heart'
Tap your foot along to country crooner, Caleb Kennedy, singing Willie Nelson’s ‘On the Road Again’ on American Idol. You’ll want to get up and clap along!
Caleb Kennedy may only be 16 years old, but his talent seems like he’s been practicing for decades. He only started playing guitar and writing music three years ago and is mostly self-taught!
Caleb is from a tiny town in South Carolina, where he’d play his original songs at as many open mic nights as he could find. And now millions watch him on live TV.
His grandpa said, “The talent is there. It’s part of God’s plan.”
As for the song, ‘On the Road Again’ was originally released by Willie Nelson about 30 years ago. The song was written for the romantic film, Honeysuckle Rose and was nominated for many awards.
There’s no doubt you would recognize it, no matter who’s singing!
"I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again:
It seems that since he bought his first guitar with birthday money, the life Caleb loves is makin’ music. What a perfect song choice!
In the video, Caleb is center stage rocking his cowboy hat and guitar. He’s accompanied by two other guitarists, but who are we kidding? We are totally mesmerized by this kid’s talent, and it’s like the other musicians aren’t there!
In the middle, Caleb invites the crowd to jump up and clap along. This kid definitely knows how to perform! He finishes the song slowly, by himself. You have that moment where you can really appreciate his talent for what it is.
A video of military best friends sharing a heartwarming reunion after spending three years apart went viral on TikTok. It can be rare to see men express emotions about anything, let alone to their friends!
John Taylor’s wife, Rachel, set up the reunion at his graduation party. She planned for his buddy, Justin Crockett, to surprise him during the event.
Rachel said that their families were stationed together for three years in Japan. How could they not grow close in this situation!
You can tell in the video that the surprise was a jaw-dropping moment for John. John had no idea and seemed to yell for joy. He even dropped the large package of water bottles he was holding in order to hug his friend Justin!
Apparently, one hug wasn’t enough for this pair. John basically jumped up and wrapped his legs around Justin like a child would! Clearly this brought emotions John just couldn’t hold back.
We all have friends and family that we may not be able to see for extended periods of time, especially during the pandemic. We all know how it feels to finally be reunited with loved ones that play such a huge part in our lives, even if they’re not physically there.
Watching John and Justin’s reunion will warm your heart, make you smile, and make you excited to finally see those family and friends that you’ve had to stay away from for so long.
Listen to teen Casey Bishop sing her unique rendition of ‘Over the Rainbow’ on American Idol. Casey is known for her rock music, but for this round, she embodied Judy Garland and put her own twist on it.
Casey auditioned for the fourth season of the rebooted American Idol when she was 15 years old. She sang ‘Live Wire’ by Motley Crue for the judges and was asked to show her blues side too. She then sang ‘My Funny Valentine’ by Frank Sinatra.
She double-wowed the judges in both genres. Luke Bryan even said that Casey may be the next winner of the series!
We all could probably hum the tune from ‘Over the Rainbow.’ This classic ballad was written in 1938 for the timeless movie, The Wizard of Oz and was originally sung by Judy Garland, the star of the film.
Since its debut, the song has probably been covered by hundreds of famous artists. Israel Kamakawiwo’ole recorded a popular version of the song in 1990. The video of his version has been viewed over one billion times on Youtube. The cover features only his voice and a ukulele.
Taking a step back from her rock persona, Casey performed this classic with a small orchestra and a cloudy sky behind her. All the lights were on her. The stage was covered with a soft fog at her feet. She had nowhere to hide. All of the focus was on her and her vocals.
From the judges’ response, she clearly impressed them with yet another genre of music she can handle. I’m so impressed with her talent and so proud of her all at once! Her voice is a gift!

I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory and think of me and smile and say”
Today, Alan is at the 56th annual ACM Awards for a special tribute to his daughters as he performs ‘Drive’ and his latest single, ‘You’ll Always Be My Baby.’

You'll always be my baby, forever in my heart”
If you are a parent, you may find yourself having a hard time keeping back the tears as you listen to this heartwarming medley. What a beautiful performance that his children are sure to remember for a lifetime.

The LeBaron Family makes a splash with their unique a cappella rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’
This iconic song was written by Freddie Mercury for Queen’s 1975 album, ‘A Night At The Opera.’ The song spent multiple weeks at the top of the music charts and has even been inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame.
Decades later, many famous artists have lent their vocals to the tune which is a popular choice for covers and auditions.
“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy”
Today, The LeBaron Family is putting their own spin on this classic tune. You may recognize this musical family from their viral covers of classic songs such as ‘The Sound Of Music.’
Now, 6 members of the family are belting out the words to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and it is an a cappella performance that you don’t want to miss.
“Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me”
From the sights to the sounds, this is truly one cover that is set apart from the rest. The LeBaron Family puts their heart and soul into each performance and this rendition is no exception.
It is so fun to watch the family come together and share their musical talents with the world. Who else is waiting for their next epic performance?
10-year-old Gwyneth, is a pint-sized powerhouse on Asia's ‘Got Talent,’ but we all know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, nor should we judge people by their looks either because by the looks of Gwyneth, her talent and voice are about to stun everyone.
When Gwyneth walks out onto the stage, she is so petite that her guitar is bigger than she is. But her smile lights up the stage and what happens next reveals just how much talent she has. As soon as the first few chords of Katy Perry’s hit, Roar plays, the audience cheers because they know they’re in for a treat if this little pint of talent can hit the octaves and of course, she certainly can!
As she belted out the chorus and hit every high note perfectly and beautifully, you can see how stunned the judges are as she sings:
"You held me down, but I got up (hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground"
The judges, David Foster, Vanness Wu, Melanie Chisholm, and Anggun all have careers in show business and they understand what kind of talent it takes to perform a fun and complicated song! As she brought the song to a close, the entire audience and judges were mystified as they all took part clapping along and cheering!
Vanness then gave Gwyneth feedback on her performance. “Roar! Wow, you are the cutest little thing, and your confidence that you have up there (on stage) and you are so comfortable with the guitar too. Great performance,” he said.
All of the judges agree she has an outstanding presence and a spark that just lights up the room. After she accepts the judges’ critiques of her performance, she then asks permission to say something to David. With a shy smile, she tells David that she is a big fan. She then asks if he would autograph her guitar. After David obliges on camera, the judges all vote together and on the count of three, her dreams on AGT come true!
“Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before him!” Psalm 68:4
Tori Kelly and American Idol hopeful Madison Watkins bond over their love of Christ. The moment caught on camera was unexpected and powerful!
When Madison Watkins learned she would get to perform with Tori Kelly, she couldn’t contain her excitement on stage. The pair initially sat down to get to know each other and plan their duet. During the interview, they talked about how the love of music has a way of bringing people together because music invokes so many different emotions but it doesn’t hold a candle to the bond we all have as sisters and brothers through Christ.
Through Madison’s vulnerability, Madison revealed how she admired and looked up to Tori. In fact, Tori’s musical career was launched on the stage of American Idol which gave Madison the courage to leave Arkansas and pursue her dreams. Then Madison began to tear up as she confessed it was also Tori’s love of Jesus that encouraged her too.
“It’s so cool to have a girl to look up to that also loves God,” Madison said after Tori told her that she relies on her faith to get through the stress of being in the music industry. She then compliments Tori, “You’re a stud in so many ways,” before confessing, “I’m terrified to sing with you, you’re the best singer in the world,” Madison gushed.
Tori couldn’t help but giggle because she feels like a regular girl who doesn’t live in the spotlight. But, you can tell as the pair perform, they truly bonded because of Madison’s confessions that centered around faith, Jesus, honesty, and the fact they both have curly, gorgeous hair! Their performance knocked the judges out of their seats with their rendition of Stevie Wonder’s hit “Don’t You Worry Bout a Thing.”
Katy Perry went on to say, “My first thoughts when you both came onto the stage was what do your shower drains look like.” But then all joking and questions aside, Katy encouraged Madison to keep doing what she’s doing because it works! This was such a special moment for so many reasons. God knows how to lift us up and bring us together when we need the bond of sisterhood through Christ the most and the best part—the world was watching!
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
An award-winning film called ‘The Wait’ tells the story of 2 people at a bus stop that strike up a conversation, and it leads to tears. Take the 4 minutes out of your day to watch this heart-wrenching video. The reminder that you’ll get at the end is worth it.
The film begins with a young, pregnant woman talking on the phone. She is seemingly making a doctor’s appointment for her dad. Once she hangs up, the stranger next to her asks about her bump, but she neglects to answer and seems very irritated by the man’s question.
Eventually, she decides to respond with, “21 weeks.” The man continues with small talk about her pregnancy and finds out she is very apprehensive about the whole thing. She closes herself off, even more, when the man mentions her husband that will surely help her. There isn’t a husband.
To avoid any spoilers, you have to watch it for yourself! But you will not regret it. Will it break your heart? Yes. For a good reason? Yes.
This emotional rollercoaster of a story reminds you to cherish the time you have with your loved ones. Life can take you anywhere or change at any moment. Every second you have on this earth is precious and must not be taken for granted.
God created us to love each other and be loved. He gave us the gift of life and blessed us with so many special people.
So when you have a moment today, visit your parents or your children if possible. Call them just to chat and let them know they are loved and appreciated just as He loves us.
A video shows a beautiful woman in her bridal gown she wore at her wedding more than half a century ago. And 60 years later, this grandma still stuns her husband in her wedding dress. Few things are more heartwarming than true love!
Ali Brooke took the video of her grandmother, Jenny Goedde, trying on her wedding gown from 60 years ago. It still fits her perfectly! She is glowing with happiness and twirls into the room to show her husband.
I have never seen a man smile so big! His smile is beaming, and he can’t seem to take his eyes off of his beautiful wife of 60 years. As she continues to dance around the living room, his smile never fades. No wonder their marriage is so strong!
A larger gathering celebrated their 60th anniversary that same day. A joke led to a smaller group of family heading over to the grandparents’ house. Grandma Jenny pulled her wedding dress out of the attic and threw it on.
And on this casual day with the family Jenny and Joe created, she wowed her husband as if it was 1957.
Later on in an interview, Grandpa Joe said, “She still looks beautiful.”
It takes unconditional love, patience, and faith to have a marriage as successful as theirs. Bless the Goeddes and their beautiful family!
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:11-12
