3-year-old steals the show with big voice that stands out from the rest

0

Some performers really want to stand out. When all eyes are on you, some people feel obligated to give the crowd what they want.

And the feeling of “give the crowd what they want” seems to start at a young age. In this case, 3-years-old.

 

Just how many times have you heard “This Little Light of Mine”? I reckon a lot of parents out there have had their kid sing it in a school play.

It’s a sweet song and a great way to introduce kids to performing – even if some parents might be tired of the song.

This 3-year-old is performing “This Little Light Of Mine” with the rest of his class, and let’s just say all the attention’s on him.

But there’s one voice that’s a lot louder than the others, and it’s coming from him.
We’re not told what this boy’s name is or who is family is. So unfortunately, we won’t be able to track him down and see if he ever pursued theater.

But we were left with this adorable and hilarious video of probably his first school performance. All I’ll say is that he definitely made an impression there.

If they’re gonna let their light shine, I guess his light was pretty darn bright.

His “little light” is more like a giant LED garage light, you could say.
They’ve all got cute paper headbands to server as their costumes. It definitely brings me back to my old school performances, and I’d guess you might feel the same.

 

To be fair to our little man with the big voice, the rest of his classmates don’t seem to be singing very loud.
Heck, I don’t think I can hear them singing much at all.

It’s pretty hard to get a 3-year-old to sing in front of people, let alone a whole class of them. I can’t blame them, nor the teacher who tried to organize this.

And with how loud he’s singing, he can make up for the rest of the class.
He’s the only one who sounds like he actually wants to let his little light shine. Come on, kids! You can’t let him do all the work!

The kids are so nervous that they spend much of their time on stage looking at each other and staring at random things.

 

When the chorus comes on, they’re all supposed to make gestures with their fingers as if their pointers are lights.

It went about as smoothly as you’d expect from a bunch of 3-year-olds.

And the little boy with the big voice was so enthusiastic that his headband fell off.

Hey, carrying the whole performance must have been exhausting for him.

This video was uploaded 11 whole years ago, so he’s 14-years-old now. Makes you wonder where he is, and if his friends and family still tease him over this video.

Watch this little man’s huge voice in the video below. Give this article a share too!

Mom’s video of baby gorilla playing “patty cake” with 2-year-old shows we have much in common

0

Gus, the baby gorilla, is a marvel in his own right.
His birth was a beacon of hope for the critically endangered western lowland gorillas.

Moreover, his arrival marked a historic moment for Texas’ Fort Worth Zoo, as he was the first gorilla born there in its 107 years of existence.

The excitement surrounding Gus’s birth was palpable.
After all, who could resist the charm of a newborn, especially one as unique as Gus?

 

 

As the Fort Worth Zoo shared the news of the expected birth of a western lowland gorilla, the anticipation grew.

“Everyone loves babies. I mean, everyone with a soul loves babies. And that’s why when there is a new baby at the Fort Worth Zoo, we all get a little excited,” Schaefer AD Co. shared on their website.

The AD agency saw an opportunity to highlight the striking similarities between baby gorillas and human children, particularly in their growth and development.

Little did they know, a chance encounter between Gus and a 2-year-old toddler would provide the perfect real-life illustration for their campaign.

Young and different as they are, they already held something in common.

A heartwarming photo of 5-month-old Gus and the toddler, Braylee, playing Patty Cake through a glass wall took the internet by storm.

The image of these two unlikely playmates reached every corner of the globe, and a video about their story garnered over 3.5 million views on Inside Edition’s YouTube page.

“These two are so cute as they press their palms together through the glass enclosure. Gus is a 5-month-old lowland gorilla with a story for the books. The animal is listed as critically endangered. He’s also the first gorilla born at the Fort Worth Zoo in its 107-year history. As Gus gets older, he likes to experience the world around him which includes encounters like this one.”

The photo captured the essence of the beauty of babies, regardless of their species.

The sight of tiny Gus, with his hands pressed against the glass, mirroring the toddler’s actions, was simply too adorable to ignore.

 

 

Gus, with his irresistible charm, has always been a much-loved figure.

The excitement around Gus began even before his birth, with a massive contest over his name.
With over 8,800 votes cast, the options were between Grover, Gus, and Mosi. Local celebrities and even TCU’s SuperFrog campaigned for their favorite names.

However, when Pittsburg State caught wind of the contest, they rallied their students to vote for Gus, their mascot’s namesake. In a surprising turn of events, Gus surged from third place to first, surpassing Mosi and Grover.

Today, Gus is all grown up.
But he still enjoys spending time with his parents, Elmo and Gracie.

His love for them remains as strong as the day he was born, and he continues to make new friends, just like he did when he was a 5-month-old.

Gus and Braylee’s interaction testify of the commonalities between humans and animals.

Tiny girl strikes a pose before unleashing calculating moves making the crowd roar

Ballet may draw ridicule from some, but it’s almost as much of a sport as it is a dance.

Ballet requires ridiculous finesse and leg strength, as well as a few blisters and bruises.

All that beauty and grace you see from experienced ballerinas doesn’t come without years of hard work.

It’s literally blood, sweat, and tears for many ballerinas.

 

That makes it all the more impressive to find a ballerina who’s this good at just 7-years-old.

At 7-years-old, she’s up to perform a ballet dance for a huge crowd. Ilinca graces the stage with confidence.

I can’t imagine how nervous this might normally make a 7-year-old.

Ilinca isn’t just here to show off her footwork and balance – she’s got a tambourine to show off her sense of rhythm too.

As if to show off how much she’s practiced, Ilinca alternates between fine footwork and perfectly-timed shaking of the tambourine.

This is a girl who lives to perform, in case that wasn’t obvious already.

The arrangement she’s dancing to, La Esmeralda, is a classic ballet piece with some adaptations you might be familiar with.

La Esmeralda, a three-part ballet act, is itself an adaptation of the novel Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo, better known as The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame.

Like the novel, the musical piece follows Esmeralda, a Romani woman who encounters Quasimodo, the bell-ringer.

You know the rest.

There’s a bit of music history for you!

 

Of course, the original story is a lot more dark and mature than the Disney adaptation – which itself got pretty dark at times for a Disney movie.

Now back to Ilinca, her incredibly small frame at her age lends itself well to ballet.
It makes her a lot lighter and eases on the toes when she needs to balance on them.

As a result, she looks a lot more lithe and precise with each step.

The audience doesn’t even wait till after the show to give her some applause.

She’s not done tapping and slapping that tambourine either.

 

Ilinca keeps going, with her feet still moving in sync to the notes of La Esmeralda.

After each sequence of notes, she perfectly times a tap on the tambourine before returning to gliding across the stage.

In all of a few seconds, she does it so flawlessly that the audience can’t help but cheer another time.

Besides her rhythm and her precision, Ilinca’s balance is pretty darn impressive as well.

You need to be good at all 3, after all, to be a good ballerina.

When the music reaches its climax, Ilinca steps up her game further.

Watch Ilinca’s spectacular ballet performance of La Esmeralda below!

Kate and Liam love to sing, so they wanted to make a video together singing a duet. The two decided on performing Lady Antebellum’s song “Think About You.” The two have a blast filming their jam session. Only when they go back to watch their footage do they make a hilarious discovery.

 

Kate and Liam were surprised by a backup dancer, their little brother Johnny, who decided to crash their performance in the background. He managed to be undetected the entire song despite his hilarious moves.

The best part about this story is that their mom was behind the camera the entire time. She managed to keep a straight face throughout Johnny’s antics so that she wouldn’t tip off the singers. Their mom was finally able to laugh after Kate and Liam watched the footage.

 

While Kate and Liam might be annoyed that Johnny stole their spotlight this time, they’ll have this incredible video to look back on for the rest of their lives. Who knows, if Kate and Liam ever get famous, they should definitely think about bringing Johnny on tour, too. They could have a concert and a comedy show wrapped up in one performance!

5-Year-Old Girl Makes A Confession After School, Forcing Her Grandma To Spring Into Action

0

Now and then, a child will come along who reminds us that there is compassion in the world. This five-year-old girl did that recently and brought her grandmother to tears.

A grandmother is in tears right now, but her tears are for a good reason. She was overwhelmed with emotion at the compassionate nature of her five-year-old granddaughter.

 

It’s hard to find bright people in a world that sometimes seems to lack empathy, and she was happy that she could find it in a relative. It’s refreshing to see a child like this.

It reminds us that we can still have hope in humanity.

The little girl’s name is Sunshine, which is quite fitting for her bright personality. Her grandmother, Jackie, saw her do something a bit peculiar when she came home from school.

Jackie saw Sunshine emptying her piggy bank.

She had been saving money and putting it into the piggy bank for a long time, so she had a significant amount of cash saved. Naturally, her grandmother wanted to know what she was going to do with the money that she dumped on the floor.Sunshine told her grandmother she was taking that money to school for her friends. Jackie was puzzled, and she asked Sunshine why she was going to do such a thing.

Sunshine went on to explain that some of her friends did not have money for milk, and she wanted to share her money with them so that they could have that. She didn’t think it was fair for those children not to have milk, and she felt like she had plenty of money.

Little Boy Tries To Help Mommy With Groceries Instead Has Internet In Tears Of Laughter

We love little kids for all of the cute reasons they give us! They have sweet, angelic smiles, expressive eyes, and beautiful little voices. Those together are plenty enough to melt your heart. But this little boy is winning hearts around the world when you see all three of these things put together in one video. You’ll positively melt when you hear his little voice and see his cute face!

Chrystal Logsdon, a young Southern mother, decided to record her little boy when she made her shopping list. It is now going viral for so many reasons. It’s just too adorable for words.

Chrystal’s little boy was all ready to take a trip with her to pick up some groceries. However, it was time to make the shopping list before they went out. He ran to her desk to get a paper and pen before running back to his mother to list the grocery items they needed.

 

Chrystal would first tell him the food item that they would need to get from the grocery store. You could hear her strong southern accent with every word. However, her little boy’s accent was just too adorable. He would repeat what she said in the most down-home, country voice you could ever imagine.

Many people can’t believe how strong his accent is at such a young age. However, the publication Smithsonian explains that this is quite normal. They say that an accent can be programmed into a baby as young as six months old.

 

According to the publication, a baby actually begins to differentiate bits of verbal input by six months old. They silently rehearse the words until they can actually deliver them later. When they do begin to speak, they will do so with whatever distinctive accent they have been hearing for their short life. In this case, it was with a definite southern inflection.

An accent can stay with a person for many years. That is definitely the case when it comes to this little boy and his cute little accent! As soon as she started recording him we could easily hear that Southern twang come out.

Are you ready to hear this little charmer for yourself? Check out the video below:

Dad sings to his baby daughter – and her reaction is so pure

0

Be sure to reach the end of this article to see the full video!

When it comes to expressing emotions, we could all learn something from this baby. Thanks to her lack of inhibitions, she really shows her dad how much she likes his singing.

Every parent should sing to their baby. One video really shows why. It isn’t flashy. It just shows a father singing to his baby daughter. And it’s amazing because of that.

The dad holds his baby in his arms, with her head nestled in the palms of his hands. She looks up at her dad with love in her eyes.

 

 

The dad sings to the baby, “You are so beautiful to me.” As he sings this lyric, the baby cannot contain her happiness. She forms a huge gummy smile and laughs slightly.

The baby may not understand the words, but she can clearly grasp their meaning.

Then the dad starts rubbing the baby’s head with his thumbs and continues with, “Can’t you see?” But it’s obvious that the baby can very clearly see!

The dad keeps on singing. Every time he starts to a new lyric, the baby smiles again. At the end of the song, the dad gives his daughter a big kiss. The baby looks more contented than ever.

Luckily, the mom was filming this heartwarming moment. The footage then appeared on Youtube, where it soon went viral.
To date, it has gained over 2 million views. It also has more than 35,000 likes and 1,700 comments. People have been saying things like this:

Not only is singing a great way for a parent to show that they love their baby, but it’s also great for developing the baby’s brain.

 

Jessica Grahn, a cognitive neuroscientist and associate professor of the University of Western Ontario has stated the following on the studies of parents singing to their babies:

“We are seeing relationships between rhythm and language abilities, attention, development, hearing acuity, and even social interactions.”

In fact, parents should start singing to their babies while they’re still in the womb, other research has indicated.

This research comes from a study of 170 women. Half of them sang lullabies to their babies during pregnancy. The other half didn’t. The babies that were sung to in the womb ended up crying for significantly less time after they were born.

And it’s not like there’s a shortage of songs that parents can sing to their babies.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t take much effort to sing to a baby/baby bump. But doing this simple thing is incredibly beneficial for the baby. So the message is loud and clear: parents, sing to your babies. It’s for their own good.

The audience was poised for the classic image of a child strewing petals before the bride’s path, yet what unfolded was a heartwarming display of improvisation and familial love that captured the essence of the day.

The young girl had drifted off to sleep, nestled comfortably on her cousin’s shoulder, oblivious to the waiting crowd and the significance of her role.

In a moment that would become the highlight of the ceremony, the men of the family stepped in, their actions speaking volumes about their bond.

 

They formed a makeshift entourage, a ‘security team’ as they fondly referred to themselves, ensuring that the absence of the flower girl’s traditional performance was not felt but instead replaced with a memory even more precious.

The bride and groom looked on, their faces alight with amusement and affection, as their family turned a potential mishap into a moment of joy.
“We were all hysterical,” Charlotte’s mom, Briana Imbriano, told Good Morning America. “It was the funniest thing ever … It was the perfect combination of funny and cute.”

As the ceremony concluded, Charlotte woke up, her timing as impeccable as her earlier repose.
She rose from her dreams just as the formalities ended, ready to partake in the festivities and, more importantly, the wedding feast.

Her awakening was as timely as it was symbolic, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

 

It was a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable moments are those that are unplanned, the ones that showcase the genuine reactions and adaptability of loved ones.

The wedding guests, and indeed the couple, were left with a lasting impression of a day where everything fell perfectly into place, even the unexpected.
Charlotte’s slumber, far from being a minor hiccup, had added to the day, weaving in a thread of innocence and charm that only a child’s presence could provide.

Ethan danced his heart out, occasionally pausing to soak in the surroundings, after all, he was just a toddler exploring a new world.

The peak of the show came when Ethan playfully acted like he was heading back to his mom but then did a quick turnaround and sprinted back to the stage.

He danced with all the gusto a toddler could muster, encouraged by the cheering crowd and his dad, who strummed his guitar just for him and shouted, “Go, baby!”

As the performance approached its conclusion, Ethan made his way back to his mom, handed her his pacifier, and resumed his dance.

It serves as a heartwarming reminder of the joy and spontaneity that children bring into our lives.
