Sisters Perform Piano And Violin Duet Of “Hallelujah” At Train Station

0

There are certain songs that people just love. It can be an old-school classic, something that takes you back in time and you’re able to reminisce; or, it can be a recently released hip-hop or pop track that has got you dancing every time it comes on. Everyone has different taste in music, hence the split between classics and modern-day pop. But, if there’s something that everyone can agree on, then it’s the fact that one of Leonard Cohen’s all-time hits, is still everyone’s favorite — regardless of how old you are.

People just can’t get enough of Leonard’s “Hallelujah,” either for its haunting key, evocative lyrics or the fact that it’s just a well-written, beautiful sounding song. Plus, it’s known by many and transcends religion, culture or race. The sheer power of it can resonate with anyone who hears it, young or old.

9-year-old Diane and 15-year-old Camille, sisters from Holland, set up shop at a station in Rotterdam to entertain passers-by with their musical talent. With Diane on the keys and Camille playing the violin, these two young girls created magic together.

 

 

Diane begins to play from memory – there is no sheet music on her piano. She starts slow and methodical, careful not to build too much too quickly, as Camille steps in. The two are in harmony, both gradually edging towards a crescendo for a small, but a very taken audience. Their instruments intertwine to create a sound that leaves a lasting impression. These two talented young ladies chose to create an impact with a heavy-hitting song, showing off their skills to the world.

And it seems like they have an admirer. This one little boy is mesmerized by their impromptu performance. Maybe it’s the first time he’s heard the classic or he is just genuinely moved by the piano-violin duet. Whatever the reason, his adorable reaction is motivation for these girls to keep up the great job. What a performance!

4-year-old hilariously shares to-do list with mom, proving he’s a very “busy man”

0

The life of a kid is usually a play-filled and worry-free existence. But not for one little boy in Northern Ireland. To hear him tell it, he has taken on a lot of adult responsibility. The thing is it is all in his head, but that hasn’t stopped him from telling his mother about his busy day.

In a video, four-year-old Darragh O’neill describes to his mother the busy day he has ahead of him. By hearing him talk, you would think he is the busiest person in the world. Which leaves the listener wondering, when does he find the time to do all that he has to accomplish?

 

He tells his mother about his long to-do list, including having to dig a drain for his neighbor and clean the windows at the local Marks & Spencer store. And he goes into great detail, over three minutes of it, even talking about how he has to go into Dublin to hire a digger.

Of course, he has no idea about finances as he has only budgeted £20 for the task, which seems to be way too little.

He also has plans to level the stones in his yard and of helping his grandpa with the lane outside his house. It makes you wonder how he has the energy for all of this activity? Most interesting of all is the house that young Darragh claims to be building.

“I’ll put in tiles up at my house I’m building. It’s going on good, they’re putting on the windows today. I’m putting in the tiles, but I need the concrete man this evening. He’s coming at half six. It’s a quare day for the concrete. It’s for Ronan McAliskey, he drives the lorries,” Darragh says in the video “What else do I have to do?”

“I’m going to need to get the keys to my car because I don’t have them yet, I only ‘buyed’ my car there yesterday. I only got my license yesterday. The police won’t be out today. I’ll park her up at Tessie’s. I’ll bring my bike up,” Darragh continued.
“I’m going up to John Paul’s. I might dig out his wee drains. Then I’m going up to Brian G’s. I’m a busy man,” he says as he finishes talking about his to-do list with his mother.
Getting a job

 

Ever the busy body, Darragh then moves onto talk of food. Stating a preference for steak over pizza. Finally, he talks about getting a job at the Marks & Spencer establishment in the downtown area.

“You know that big place Marks & Spencer’s, I’m putting new windows in it. I’m cleaning the windows. I might go up there this morning. I don’t want paid like. I already have lots of money.”
According to his mom, Darragh picks up a lot from his dad, Gerard. Darragh spends a lot of his time outside learning about things around the family’s farm from his father, especially on the weekends when he is off from school. It seems his dad has sure made an impression on the ambitious, little boy.

The girl who became a mother at the age of 16 is attracting public attention by bringing her baby as her prom date.

0

In the summer of 2022, Melissa McCabe, then 16, finished her high school education.

 

Melissa made the unconventional decision to go to the prom with her one-and-a-half-year-old son, Arthur, instead of going with a young man as is customary.

Melissa said she wanted her son to be a part of the most significant day of her life.

For the occasion, Melissa bought her son a suit, complete with a jacket and bow tie, and they both attended the commencement.

Melissa and Arthur gained notoriety rapidly, attracting the attention of everyone—including instructors, who were brought to tears by this darling boy and wished they could hold him in their arms and ogle his handsome outfit.

 

Teachers who had previously shunned Melissa during her academic career now took notice of her accomplishments.

Melissa claims that Arthur thoroughly loved the graduation ceremony, particularly the gifts he received.

On TikTok, she posted pictures of herself and her son attending prom with the message, “While everyone goes to prom with their boyfriend, I went with my greatest blessing.”

The post immediately gained 2 million views after becoming viral.

In November 2020, when Melissa was only 15 years old, she gave birth to Arthur, who is being raised by just her.

 

Melissa is tenacious and motivated despite the difficulties.

Unfortunately, people frequently mistake Arthur for her younger brother and are quick to criticize her when they learn that Arthur is actually her child.

Melissa, who defied all odds to pass her examinations, will begin attending university in September.

Tiny girl lights up the stage with precious Cinderella routine

0

If there’s one thing we should remember about kids, it’s that they are more intelligent and more talented than we think even at a very young age.

We can already see toddlers engaging in different feats of physical prowess like sports, martial arts, and dancing.

One of the most intimidating, if not the most, is ballet.
Even so, many children take ballet as their summer elective and prove to be very capable and executing such graceful yet complicated moves.

In a video posted on YouTube, a young dancer showed the Philippine audience her graceful moves.
ABAP or the Association of Ballet Academies of the Philippines just recently concluded its annual championships.

In one category, a little girl confidently took the stage even if it was a solo performance.

With her charm and skill, she showed that no one is too young to try on big things.

 

 

The song was used in the 1950 version of Cinderella.

The song is all about magic and how Cinderella’s fairy godmother transformed a pumpkin into a carriage, mice into horses, and a horse and a dog into a coachman and footman respectively.

Even when she was performing, you can see that she knows exactly what she was doing.

With some arm salutations, she started her routine with plies.

 

Then, with some raised-arm sautes, she showed her agility and gentleness.

Ballet is an intricate dance to learn as it banks so much on control.

This little girl, however, seemed like she was doing this for a long time.

All throughout the performance, the little girl carried out her routine with a smile.
She did her moves, no matter how complicated, in perfect time and sequence.

It was clear that the hard work she did during rehearsals was paying off in significant ways!

She even did impressive leg raises and hopped around the stage like a little fairy herself.

 

We wouldn’t be surprised if she managed to get some “oh’s” and “aww’s” from the audience.

And with adorable twirls and spins, she managed to get an amazing average score!

The ABAP International Dance Competition is an annual event.
The competition gathers performers of different ages and schools into a dance fest where they can show off and share their talents.

 

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!

Siblings can certainly be a pain, but other times they can really crack us up. Every family seems to have one especially nutty kid in the family who supplies all of the entertainment. You have to watch this backup dancer crash this brother and sister’s duet.

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!

Did this video crack you up? Be sure to make all of your friends laugh by showing them this cute video. If you have a Johnny in your family, make sure they see this, too!
