The Voices Of Hope Children's Choir join talented pianist, Tokio Myers, for a powerful rendition of “All We Got.” Tokio became a household name after winning the 2017 season of Britain’s Got Talent. His first audition wowed the judges and we learned that playing the piano as a young boy helped Tokio stay out of trouble. His beautiful compositions and piano covers impressed the crowd week after week until he was named the overall winner. Recently, this famed pianist competed on America’s Got Talent: The Champions. This special format features 50 contestants who have won or been featured on previous editions of the show. These competitors come from all over the world and now they’re all vying for the ultimate winner’s title. Even though Tokio was eliminated in the early rounds, he was invited back for the finale. That’s when he teamed up with the Voices Of Hope Children’s Choir for a special performance of “All We Got” from Chance the Rapper. Tokio pulls out all the stops as he plays multiple instruments as the children provide the vocals for this incredible song. This was such a beautiful moment on the show and these two acts perfectly complimented one another. I’m so glad that we were able to see Tokio in his element one more time on the Got Talent stage. It’s obvious he’s come a long way since that first audition and he just gets better and better with each performance. We’re all looking forward to what Tokio comes out with next.

Everyone was cheering for criminals after these prison inmates break into a vehicle to save a baby. It all happened in Florida when a 1-year-old named Dallas was accidentally locked in a hot car by her dad. With temperatures rising and no way to access the vehicle, the father immediately called the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office for help. The deputies quickly arrived and tried their best to break into the vehicle, but were unsuccessful. That’s when someone had the idea to call nearby prison inmates. The non-violent offenders were on a work-release program close by and were called to make their way to the situation. Once they arrived, a few of the inmates used a coat hanger to activate the electronic lock and open the door. The entire ordeal only lasted about 2 minutes thanks to the help from these handy men. This is the perfect example of never judging a book by the cover. Many people may look down on those serving time, but this event showcased their caring side as they helped a baby girl. We all need a little bit of assistance now and then, even when it comes from the most unlikely of places. Dallas’ mom put it perfectly when she said, “It was just so funny, the irony of a police officer asking an inmate to break into a car.” Now, little Dallas is doing just fine and everyone is eternally grateful to these men. Who else is cheering for these criminals right now too?
