When natural athleticism meets hard work, the results can be mesmerizing!
In 2019, Ema Stoian, a 10-year-old from Budapest, Hungary, competed on “Romania’s Got Talent.” In spite of her young age, she was already a talented dancer with years of experience and accolades behind her. She’s primarily a ballerina, but she also studies modern dance and gymnastics. She even took first place for her talents at the Youth America Grand Prix in Barcelona, Spain, the same year she appeared on “RGT.”
Ema chose to perform “Unstoppable” by Sia for her audition. Sia is known for featuring dancer Maddie Ziegler in many of her music videos, and at first glance, Ema resembles Ziegler with her wild, curly mane of hair. Yet Ema quickly takes over the song, adding her own exaggerated facial expressions and flying through the air as if unhindered by gravity!
She truly appears to be soaring in most of her performance, as she seamlessly incorporates gymnastic tumbling and flips with classic ballet.
The resulting routine left the judges breathless – and earned the child a Golden Buzzer that sent her straight to the semifinals! Watch her entire performance in the video below, and don’t forget to share this story.
This adorable little girl would make even Johann Sebastian Bach proud!

In a video, she plays “Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major,” and it’s a perfect example of her incredible talents. It’s mesmerizing to watch this small child create such beautiful music. You can really tell how focused she gets as the sound builds up!

Like many parents, Tao Xie and Nicole Sun started looking for something to keep their 3-year-old busy during the novel coronavirus lockdown.
Nicole plays a little piano, so the Ridgefield, Connecticut, couple signed their daughter Brigitte up for lessons over Zoom. Her teacher, Felicia Feng Zhang, instantly recognized that Brigitte has a special gift when it comes to tickling the ivories.
Felicia said Brigitte “picked up more in six months than most do in years’ worth of lessons.” The little girl quickly learned how to read sheet music and sight-read classical pieces virtually. When it was safe enough, Brigitte began attending lessons in person in her teacher’s Greenwich, Connecticut, home.
The only fly in the ointment is that the famed performance hall requires all performers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. At 4, Brigitte is too young to receive the shots, so she may not be able to reap the rewards of her prize just yet.

Dads rule! But today, one dad in particular has our vote for Father of the Year thanks to a heartwarming video that shows him giving his daughter some much-needed advice.
In the video, Randy Gaines is crouching down to speak to one of his daughters, who is sitting on a table, at eye level.

“You don’t always have to be happy, you don’t always have to be silly or funny, you don’t have to be anything,” he tells her. “The important thing is – whenever you’re feeling that way – to not just stay there all the time. You want to accept it, you want to honor it, you want to acknowledge it, and let it go.”
Is that not the most excellent advice you’ve ever heard on how to deal with anger or sadness? We could benefit from it! But knowing that it was given in an exchange between a father and young daughter makes it so much better.
As the video goes on, you learn that Randy had been joking with his daughter earlier that day and called her a name he often kids with her about. But that day, she wasn’t having it.
Rather than telling her she was being unreasonable, Randy handled her feelings in the best way: by taking his own advice and talking through it.

“My heart explodes when he connects to his girls like this,” writes Randy’s wife in the video’s caption. “No yelling. No screaming. Talking. Discussing emotions and why we have such feelings.”
The caption also explains that neither Randy nor his wife saw this tenderness in their own childhoods, but together they’re teaching their girls they are “still loved no matter what.”
What a precious moment between this father and daughter! We can all learn a thing or two from Randy’s parenting skills and his advice as well.
Watch the heartwarming conversation between Randy and his daughter below, and share to make someone’s day.
You’ve heard Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah over the years, but we can promise you that you’ve never heard it like this before, with the touch of a master of classical music.
When the world’s soul is missing something that only a good bit of music can fill, there are some people who deliver above and beyond.
Andreas Bocelli and his daughter Virginia were part of a live-streamed, ticketed concert for the holidays. Bocelli is frequently described as having a voice that is divinely appointed.
This notion isn’t difficult to buy into when you listen to the master tenor and his daughter sing, of all things, Leonard Cohen’s timeless “Hallelujah.”
Originally written with an undertone of irony, you hear nothing but pure tear-jerking beauty when father and daughter sing with the orchestra. Little Virginia’s voice is so fragile and airy and spirals around her father’s voice like a dancing butterfly.
At times his voice is overpowering, but at the end of each breath, you can hear that Virginia was holding the note just as long as he was. If Cohen could hear this rendition of his song, he would likely be moved to tears.
