Music teacher Taryn Charles earned herself a coveted Golden Buzzer for her absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring performance on Britain’s Got Talent, singing Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.”

Confidence and being sure of oneself and one's abilities can make a big difference in life. Someone may be blessed with God-given talent in a particular area, but that gift is rendered useless if they are too afraid of failure or to do anything with it. People will shy away from potential criticism and failure, robbing the world of their God-given gifts and abilities.

It's for that reason that kindness and encouragement are so important. Someone who is not totally confident in themselves may try or do something simply because of a kind, uplifting or encouraging word. As the Bible says, everything that comes out of our mouths should be used to build others up. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, an obviously nervous Taryn stepped out onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage and blew away the judges and the studio audience. Her performance was simply stunning as she sang one of Aretha Franklin’s timeless tracks.

Following her performance, everyone was on their feet, applauding the young music teacher. Even the four judges could not hide their astonishment at one they had just witnessed. Bruno responded, and rightly so, by slamming the Golden Buzzer and sending confetti falling to the floor. 

Taryn was overwhelmed with emotion as tears started to stream down her face. 

After all the confetti had landed on the ground, Taryn revealed some of what was likely causing her to be nervous and hesitant about performing for the show. Someone, at one time or another, had told her that she was not good enough and couldn’t sing.

Words are powerful. They can and do have a significant impact on others. We should choose our words carefully because we never know how what we say will affect someone else’s life.

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no evil talk come out of your mother, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.”

Prepare to be enchanted and moved to tears as the angelic voices of the PS22 Kids Choir deliver a beautiful rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s classic ‘Time After Time.’ With innocence in their hearts and passion in their souls, these young, talented kids transport listeners to a realm of pure beauty and emotion.

Directed by the incredibly gifted Gregg Breinberg, the PS22 Chorus of Staten Island has become a Webby Award-winning internet sensation. The group features 65 public school fifth graders who captivate audiences with their incredible talent and heartwarming performances. 

Their story is even more remarkable because PS22 Chorus is not a school for the arts or even a school program. It's simply a group of ordinary children achieving extraordinary accomplishments through the power of music.

Since its formation in 2000, the PS22 Chorus has captured the hearts of millions worldwide, with its videos garnering hundreds of millions of views across YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Their fame extends beyond the digital realm, as they have been featured on esteemed platforms such as Nightline, Oprah, The View, Sesame Street, and The Today Show. They even graced the stage of the 2011 Academy Awards!

But what truly sets the PS22 Kids Choir apart is their unwavering commitment to spreading harmony, both musically and otherwise. They serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, proving that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.

As you listen to their rendition of "Time After Time," close your eyes and let their voices wash over you like a warm embrace. Feel the power of their unity and the beauty of their harmonies. And remember, in a world sometimes filled with chaos and uncertainty, the PS22 Chorus reminds us that beauty remains. And we can truly change the world through the God-given gift of music.

Thank the good Lord for the gift of music; it is truly a blessing! The pure souls of the children in the PS22 Kids Choir are a testament to the beauty and wonder that exists in the world. Their voices uplift and inspire, reminding us of the power of harmony and the joy that comes from sharing our talents with others. Let us thank God for the gift of music and the innocence and sincerity witnessed in these young performers. May their voices continue touching hearts and spreading love and hope wherever they go.

Mark 10:14 "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Two youngsters showed off their musical abilities with a stunning and awe-inspiring rendition of The Carpenters’ classic “Close to You.”

God is in control. He makes the decisions and calls in life. For instance, He decides who gets what talents and gives everyone a different set of abilities and skills. No two people are the same, and similarly, neither are the gifts He so graciously bestows upon individuals.

Talent can and does come in many different shapes, sizes and forms. Often, those most blessed with loads of eye-popping talent are the same people we may overlook for one reason or another. Even the littlest and most innocent can surprise us with their God-given abilities. 

Even though young and inexperienced, children can be those blessed with the most talent. A clip posted on social media shows two young people singing and performing a beloved tune from The Carpenters, “Close to You.”

The video begins with the young man and little lady sitting on a piano bench. He starts tickling the ivories and produces the familiar tune. Moments into the video, after the young man plays the song's opening notes, the girl comes in and starts belting out the lyrics.

The little girl’s lovely voice reminds listeners, to a certain degree, of Karen Carpenter’s sweet and pitch-perfect voice. Karen Carpenter’s voice was fantastic, and you could listen to it for hours without ever getting tired of it. 

According to the children’s Instagram page, they are Maya and Max. Maya is 10 years old, while Max is a little younger, at seven. On their page, you’ll find several videos of them playing other classic songs, such as John Lennon’s “Imagine,” “Hey Jude” by The Beatles and Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to The Moon.”  

It's clear that these children, Maya and Max, have been incredibly blessed with God-given musical ability. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

A choir of Simon Cowell lookalikes performed a rocking rendition of Tina Turner’s classic “Simply the Best” on Britain’s Got Talent.

No two people are the same. While there are twins and other instances where individuals look alike, no one is exactly like someone else. Everyone is an individual, created with their own likes, dislikes, tastes and preferences. God creates individuals, one-of-a-kinds and not replicas.

However, while everyone is uniquely created with a specific purpose and plan, sometimes people emulate others in either appearance or behavior. This is most often and easily seen in children acting like and wearing the uniforms of their favorite athletes. They see someone whose athletic ability they admire, so they want to be like them in dress and action. 

A clip posted on YouTube shows other people who, for whatever reason, want to look like a judge from Britain’s Got Talent: Simon Cowell. Simon has been in the public eye for decades, first grabbing attention as the blunt and very honest judge on American Idol. Since that time, Simon has become affiliated with a specific look. 

The Simply Simon Choir, made up of dozens of people, wore a typical Simon Cowell outfit as they slowly made their way onto the stage. Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be more members, more Simon clones walked out on stage. 

The members take their marks on the stage as they sing Tina Turner’s hit “Simply the Best.” 

I think it’s safe to say they are big fans of Mr. Cowell.

The act gives the judges a good laugh and even causes Simon to shy away, hiding his face in embarrassment. The Simply Simon Choir also doesn’t sound too bad, getting the entire studio audience into their fun and hilarious performance.

The clip ends with the Simply Simon Choir getting four yes votes, all from Simon.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord:”

Three Skaters Move And Groove To ‘Stayin’ Alive’ By The Bee Gees

Three men on roller skates moved and grooved, showing off their fancy footwork to the Bee Gees iconic tune, “Stayin’ Alive.”

Disco is a type of music that evokes strong reactions from nearly everyone. People seem to either love or hate those songs. There is no middle ground when it comes to the 70s-era genre. Wallfling, hemming and hawing are not things that happen, at least not when Disco is the topic of discussion.

Despite the strong reactions from music fans about Disco, that era still produced a handful of beloved tunes that are still played today. Everyone knows the words to Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge and “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross. An entire dance was even created to The Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.”

But when it comes to Disco, one song stands out among the rest. The Bee Gees were a super popular group that produced several memorable hits, including “Stayin’ Alive.” You can’t hear the opening notes of that song and not think of John Travolta strutting down the street in “Saturday Night Fever.”

In a clip posted on social media, three men show off their fancy moves while moving around the roller rink as “Stayin’ Alive” plays. It's clear the guys are attempting to create the iconic opening scene of “Saturday Night Fever” as John Travolta makes his way down the sidewalk. 

The guys move in near-perfect synchronization, not missing a step and keeping up with the beat of the music. It’s a fun, short video that shows someone else’s interpretation of one of the most memorable scenes in cinematic history.

On their Instagram page are dozens of other videos of the Griffin brothers dancing and skating to classic tunes. Songs featured in some of their other videos include “Ring My Bell,” “Night Fever” and “Walk This Way.”

Psalm 149:3 “Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp.”

Reba McEntire and Jennifer Hudson joined forces and turned in an unforgettable duet, singing “I’m a Survivor.”

Life will sometimes throw what feels like overwhelming and insurmountable objects and circumstances in our path. These situations will be painful and result in hurt and heartache. No one is immune to such heartbreaking experiences. Sadly, they will visit everyone at one time or another. 

However, while trials and hardships will visit all of us, the good Lord promises to remain by our side. His word says in several spots that He will never leave nor forsake us. He will be with us on the mountaintop and in the deepest, darkest valley. He is faithful and will see us through whatever may come up.

Reba McEntire and Jennifer Hudson are accomplished individuals. Both women have won multiple Grammy Awards and appeared in numerous television and film projects. However, they have also faced hardship and experienced heartache. 

During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Jennifer joined the Queen of Country music for a fantastic duet of “I’m a Survivor,” a song about going through and persevering through life’s storms and battles.

“A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I’m a survivor”

All will encounter painful and what feels like unbearable situations. But giving up and throwing in the towel is never an option. We never know what is on the other side or how the Lord will use this horrible situation for good. 

As the Bible says, in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. Followers of Christ can hold onto that promise when going through one of life’s many storms.

Ephesians 6:12 “For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.”

Three talented young musicians put on a stunning and fantastic performance of the classic “I Say a Little Prayer,” showcasing their jaw-dropping musical abilities.

Christians understand how important it is to read God’s Word daily. However, another activity even more important than getting into the Bible is prayer. Followers of Jesus Christ should engage in prayer multiple times each day. It’s the all-important process of communicating with God, the Creator of the universe.

Christians are supposed to have and build upon their relationship with God. How is it possible to have a relationship with someone without communication? Without proper communication, a relationship ceases to exist. Prayer is the only way to communicate and express your thankfulness, fears, hopes and requests to God. 

Three youngsters—Biko, Manna and Mfundo—appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show and performed a powerful and moving rendition of Aretha Franklin’s classic “Say a Little Prayer.” 

In the song’s beautiful lyrics, an individual is constantly praying for someone else. They pray when they get ready in the morning and prepare for the day. They pray when riding the bus and heading to work. The singer even uses their coffee break to say another little prayer. 

“The moment I wake up 

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little prayer for you”

It’s an absurdly delightful performance that you could easily listen to it repeatedly. Their voices are so smooth and soothing, so much so that it’s hard to believe that people so young are producing such an enjoyable and beautiful sound. 

At the end of the performance, the youngsters get a well-deserved round of applause from the studio audience. 

While the song is not exactly a Christian or religious song, the lyrics still help to point out that prayer should be constant. We can never pray too much, and there will never be a time when God requests that we stop or slow down our prayer rate. 

Romans 12:12 “Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,”

You don’t want to miss Glen Campbell, Daryl Hall, and Dave Steward in this stunning “It’s Your Amazing Grace” rendition. In a breathtaking musical collaboration, icons Glen, Daryl, and Dave have joined forces to deliver a stunning rendition of "It's Your Amazing Grace" that not only showcases their immense talent but also captures the essence of God's incredible grace for each of us. With each note and lyric, they weave a tapestry of emotion and melody that transcends boundaries and touches the depths of the soul.

“I hold my head in my hands and I cry

When I think of you

Amazing grace

Keeps us together”

The song, with its heartfelt lyrics and soul-stirring melody, serves as a poignant tribute to the power of love and faith, echoing the boundless grace that God showers upon us all. As Glen, Daryl, and Dave pour their hearts into every word, it's impossible not to be moved by the raw emotion and sincerity of their performance.

With Glen's smooth vocals, Daryl's soulful delivery, and Dave's masterful instrumentation, "It's Your Amazing Grace" takes on a life of its own, enveloping listeners in its warm embrace and leaving an indelible mark on their hearts. Through the music, listeners are reminded of God's unfailing love and the grace that sustains us through every trial and triumph.

As the trio sings of giving everything they have and seeing the world through the lens of love, it's evident that their passion for the music and the message behind it runs deep. With each refrain of "Amazing grace keeps us together," they remind us of the enduring power of God's love to unite and uplift.

And when Glen, Daryl, and Dave join their voices in harmony, it's as if heaven itself has opened up, showering blessings upon all who listen. In that moment, time seems to stand still as the beauty of their music washes over us, leaving us spellbound and captivated by the boundless grace of God.

In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, "It's Your Amazing Grace" serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the strength found in God's love. And with voices as compelling as those of Glen, Daryl, and Dave, it's a message that resonates deeply and profoundly with all who hear it.

John 1:16 “For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."

In a scene straight out of a Kung Fu flick, a groovy family trio turned the bustling streets into their own martial arts showdown and wowed the internet with their “Kung Fu Fighting” dance in Las Vegas. Jamming to the timeless beats of "Kung Fu Fighting” with moves as sharp as a katana and energy that could rival a Shaolin monk, this husband, wife, and daughter brought their A-game to the neon-lit sidewalks as their stage.

As the iconic rhythm filled the air, the husband unleashed his inner Bruce Lee, throwing punches and kicks with the precision of a seasoned warrior. With each step, he danced circles around his opponents, proving that he was indeed a black belt in the art of dance.

Not to be outdone, the wife channeled her inner Jackie Chan, seamlessly blending grace and power as she twirled and kicked with finesse. Her fluid movements drew admiring glances from onlookers, who couldn't help but marvel at her mastery of the dance and how much fun she was having!

And let's not forget the youngest member of the troupe, their daughter, whose pint-sized stature belied her formidable skills. With a gleam in her eye and a spring in her step, she danced circles around her parents, proving that when it comes to Kung Fu dancing, age is just a number.

Together, this dynamic family trio transformed the sidewalk into their own dojo, their synchronized moves a testament to their unity and bond. Passersby couldn't help but stop and stare, captivated by the spectacle unfolding before their eyes. This family was having so much fun!

As the music reached its crescendo, the trio struck their final poses, their fists raised triumphantly in the air. And as quickly as they had appeared, the family trio vanished into the sea of neon lights, leaving behind a trail of smiles and memories that would last a lifetime. 

Ecclesiastes 3:4 "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance."

The talented Amymae Dolan joined the Gardiner Brothers for a stunning dance routine to Taylor Swift’s “Can Do It with a Broken Heart.”

The entertainment world is highly competitive, with hundreds, likely thousands, of people striving to achieve some level of success. For that reason, many people audition for shows like American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Voice. Some individuals will experience some success, while others will not. 

However, no matter how successful someone becomes in entertainment, very few ever reach Taylor Swift’s level. She is, without question, the most recognizable person on Earth. Everything she does is instantly a success. The critics and audiences love her work. All her songs and albums shoot to the top of the charts. The young lady sells out entire football stadiums all over the world.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mike, Matthew and Amymae put on a dazzling dance routine, showing off their quick-footed moves to Taylor Swift’s tune, “Can Do It with a Broken Heart.” 

It’s an awe-inspiring display of talent, skill and athleticism. You cannot take your eyes off them while they perform their routine. It’s utterly captivating. 

While the speed at which they nimbly and expertly perform the dance moves is mind-blowing, another aspect of their dance is equally impressive. All three do these moves at such speed in complete and total synchronization. 

Mike, Matthew and Amymae do not miss a step when it would have been so easy to do so. The amount of time, practice and attention to detail required to pull off something like that is startling. These three are all incredible dancers; that much is entirely apparent. There is only one left to say about these three: What will they do next?

Psalm 149:3 “Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.”

Kelly Clarkson turned in an emotional cover of Reba McEntire’s “Till You Love Me.”

God has blessed everyone with many different talents and abilities. No two people have been given the same skills and abilities. He expects us to use and develop those God-given gifts to bring glory and honor to His name. However, what we do with those abilities is ultimately up to us. 

There are some tremendously talented people in the world. Some people have skills that are more readily apparent and visible. It’s easier to see and understand when an individual is a gifted singer, actor or painter. Someone blessed in patience, showing love and kindness to others and having a compassionate heart for the needy requires more time to see and recognize.

Kelly Clarkson is one of those incredibly talented people whose musical gifts are very apparent. She was the original American Idol, has sold millions of albums during her career, was a coach on The Voice and now hosts a daytime talk show. 

Kelly and her band often cover some recognizable and beloved tunes in her role as talk show host. One of the songs the “Miss Independent” singer covered was a hit from Reba McEntire, a current coach on The Voice and the Queen of Country Music. Kelly sang Reba’s “Till You Love Me.”

The opening verse is beautifully written but also a bit sad at the same time.

“I sent you roses

I warned you I would do all that I could

To show you the way that I feel

Please, don’t say that I’m wasting my time”

Like everything else Kelly sings, it was beautiful. There is nothing that Kelly cannot sing. The woman has been incredibly blessed musically as she demonstrates time and time again. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Three incredibly talented siblings, Life in 3D, turned in a breathtaking and moving performance of the beloved hymn “How Great Thou Art.”

Humans will experience periods of hurt, heartache and sadness on Earth. There will be overwhelming and seemingly unbearable instances that push you to your breaking point. You may even question whether you possess the strength to go on and if throwing in the towel is a better option.

No one was promised an easy life, free of pain and suffering. Everyone will experience their fair share of struggle, heartache and hurt. None will get through this life unscathed. However, no matter what we go through, we can rest assured that God is still at work. He is still in control and is faithful, especially in times of pain and sorrow.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the talented sibling trio Life in 3D put on a masterful vocal performance of “How Great Thou Art.” The timeless hymn reminds listeners about the greatness and power of God. 

The hymn’s chorus is memorable, iconic, and a testament to the mighty God we serve.

“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art”

As the song mentions, God’s awesome and mighty power is displayed everywhere we look. He is the Creator of the universe, who put the sun, moon and stars in place. He did all of that and He still cared enough for us to send His one and only Son to die, taking our place on the cross. 

Even when it may appear that God is missing and has stopped listening to prayers, He is still working. The Bible says that in everything, God works for the good of those who love Him. 

No matter the situation or the pain, God is bigger than all of it. 

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

Julia Gagnon, a contestant on American Idol, turned in a mesmerizing and spectacular rendition of “Over the Rainbow” on the American Idol stage.

Artists and musicians covering each other’s songs is a time-honored tradition. It has been happening for decades, likely since the invention of music itself. So, because it has become something nearly every musician does, it’s not likely to stop anytime soon.

Most people probably don’t want musicians ever to stop doing covers. Who doesn’t want to hear a beloved and iconic song done in a new and inventive way? Covers allow audiences to listen to a different interpretation and take on a timeless track. Sometimes, those covers are a success; other times, they are a full-blown failure. But you never know until you try.

Julia Gagnon is one of the few remaining singers on the latest season of American Idol. She has consistently proven that she more than deserves to still be on the popular program. Her performances have earned overwhelmingly positive feedback from the judges and the studio audiences.

So, when Julia decided to cover the classic “Over the Rainbow,” you knew you were in for a definite treat. 

For every cover to be worth even doing, the person attempting to do so has to change something from the original. They must do something to make it their own, which Julia did with “Over the Rainbow.” 

Her version had a more Hawaiian and tropical sound and feel. That sound worked perfectly with her stunningly beautiful voice, which has gotten her this far in the competition. 

It was a simple and straightforward vocal performance, but that is precisely what you want and all you need most of the time. Her talent shined brightly during her two-and-a-half-minute performance.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Emmy Russell, the granddaughter of the late Loretta Lynn, turned in a beautiful cover of her grandmother’s classic, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

The current season of American Idol is moving along rapidly. We are quickly approaching the season's end when a new winner of the popular program will be named. The show’s three judges—Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan—have whittled the number of contestants down from thousands to hundreds, and now to the point where only a handful are left.

The remaining contestants must impress not only Lionel, Katy and Luke but also America. The judges still give the contestants their thoughts and opinions on their performances, but it’s those in the studio audience and the people watching at home who will decide the ultimate winner. 

One of those people vying to win the hearts and votes of America is the talented singer-songwriter Emmy Russell. During her first audition on the program, she revealed that she is the granddaughter of the late country music legend Loretta Lynn. However, she also said that dealing with the expectations of others since Loretta was her grandmother has been challenging to deal with and escape.

For her latest American Idol performance, Emmy returned to her grandmother’s musical catalog and performed the iconic tune “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

In the short, two-and-a-half-minute clip, Emmy sits at the piano, tickling the ivories as she sings those beautiful lyrics first written and performed by her grandmother. 

Those lyrics, especially the song's opening verse, are so iconic and memorable. There is so much feeling in those words. 

“I was born a coal miner’s daughter

In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler

We were poor, but we had love

That’s the one thing that daddy made sure of”

It’s a stunning performance that brought tears to her mother’s eyes and that her grandmother would have loved.

Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men, and the glory of children is their fathers.”

A group of supremely talented vocalists, Celtic Thunder, turned in a captivating and moving rendition of the beloved hymn “Amazing Grace” in a lyric video.

There are a handful of songs that nearly the entire population knows. These beloved and universally known songs span every genre and musical taste. They have become so ingrained in our culture that everyone can recite these lyrics entirely from memory at a moment’s notice.

Patriotic tunes like “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” are included in that special category because they are continually played around the Fourth of July. Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on A Prayer” and Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” are two secular tunes that are highly familiar to many. 

But when it comes to hymns, one stands out among the rest. “Amazing Grace” is timeless and has been covered thousands of times by hundreds of artists. It’s so relatable because we’re all sinners in need of grace. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the talented guys who make up Celtic Thunder perform the familiar hymn, putting on an awe-inspiring performance. Also, if you are one of a handful of people who don’t already know the lyrics of “Amazing Grace,” they have been added at the bottom of the screen.

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind, but now I see”

In music history, there probably is not an opening verse more beloved, familiar or moving than that of “Amazing Grace.” Those words are enough to cause even the most stoic and unemotional person to shed a tear or two. 

That opening verse describes a situation that all Christians have found themselves in at one time or another and describes the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. 

And that is why “Amazing Grace” is so beloved and iconic!

Ephesians 2:8 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:”

A massive choir’s rollicking, energetic and awe-inspiring performance on Britain’s Got Talent received a thunderous round of applause from the studio audience.

Shows like American Idol, The Voice, America’s Got Talent and its British version, Britain's Got Talent, constantly bring undiscovered talent to the public’s attention. Previously unknown acts get an opportunity to showcase their God-given abilities. Those people see their dreams and aspirations become realities, which can be and often is life-changing. 

Even acts that do not win their particular season can change their lives. Simply being on television and performing in front of such a wide audience can bring them to the right person’s attention and catapult them to the long and prosperous career they have been working towards for years. 

One of those acts who are likely to see significant changes in their lives following their appearance on Britain’s Got Talent is the choir Northants. The choir is massive, made up of dozens of supremely talented vocalists. 

The group's outstanding performance likely surprised many people, including the show’s four judges. They started their superb audition by singing the beloved and classic hymn “It is Well with My Soul.” 

Their rendition of the tune about being at peace is beautiful. However, they add their own twist to the song, repeating a few lyrics. Then, the choir transitions and goes in a direction most people likely did not see coming. They quickly start singing another song, a much more modern and upbeat tune, “Show Me Love.”

In addition to their beautiful vocals, the group shows off their dance steps. The choir moves and grooves as one. Their performance is a feast for the ears and eyes. 

The short three-minute clip ends as it should, with the studio audience giving them an absolutely thunderous round of applause. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Country musician Travis Tritt brought a ton of energy to his stunning and catchy cover performance of “Uncloudy Day.”

Life is often an experience filled with pain, hurt and heartache. No one will be able to make it through this life unscathed. Those awful, horrible situations have a nasty habit of visiting everyone at one time or another. It’s a sad but painful reality of life.

Even followers of Jesus Christ are not immune to situations and circumstances that result in hurt and sorrow. Jesus never promised that life would always be fun or easy, and that promise is nowhere to be found in the Bible. 

However, the Bible promises eternal life to those who confess and repent of their sins and then who believe Jesus Christ is Lord. At the end of the day, that is the goal of every Christian. Spending eternity with Him in Heaven will make whatever painful situations or storms we may encounter in life all worth it. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Travis sings “Uncloudy Day.” It’s such an upbeat, energetic and enjoyable performance that you will likely be tapping a toe. The tune, previously recorded and performed by Willie Nelson, beautifully describes Heaven. 

The song's opening verse is awesome!

“Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies

Oh, they tell me of a home far away

And they tell of a home where no storm clouds rise

Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day”

Because of the performance's upbeat nature and the beautiful lyrics about Heaven, you can’t listen to or watch this performance without smiling. It will brighten your day and maybe even your entire week.

Joy and happiness radiate from this musical performance. Travis and the other musicians who put on the superb performance also look as if they are thoroughly enjoying themselves while singing about Heaven. 

John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?”

Check out this contestant’s stunning rendition on The Voice of Jo Dee Messina's ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California.’

“Baby, what do you say we just get lost, 

Leave this one-horse town like two rebels without a cause, 

I've got people in Boston, ain't your daddy still in Des Moines

We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin” 

Ashley Bryant gave it her all recently on The Voice Knockouts. The 26-year-old from Louisville, Kentucky, really brought the energy. She had the audience and judges enjoying her performance.

Many viewers were also fans of Ashley’s rendition of ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California,’ and they shared their thoughts about the performance online.

“Ashley did a wonderful job on the song vocally, and her stage presence and facial expressions were a joy to watch,” comments one person on YouTube.

“This performance was delightful,” writes another person online. “She's just out here having fun and selling the excitement of every line, and it's just such a treat to see!”

Earlier on in this season of The Voice, Ashley Bryant secured a spot on Team Reba after she impressed her with her rendition of the song ‘Last Name’ by Carrie Underwood. Reba was all smiles with this recent performance as she watched Ashley sing up on stage.

Something that is inspiring about Ashley is that the singer is 30% deaf in her right ear. "Once I made the decision to pursue music full-time, I thought everything was gonna go good, and then my world got flipped upside down," Ashley shared. "In April of 2019, I had got into a car wreck. The airbags didn't deploy, and the seatbelt didn't lock, so I pretty much broke my face on the steering wheel. I had a fracture in my nose, stitches in my mouth. My right ear suffered the most injury, and then eventually, I lost my hearing in my right ear because of it."

But that challenge hasn’t stopped Ashley, and it’s wonderful to see her overcome that obstacle and share her talent on The Voice!

As a man plays the piano in a mall food court, one young woman breaks out the dance moves. This is such a fun video!

As Brendan Kavanagh begins playing upbeat piano with his sunglasses on, a seemingly shy girl in the background is sitting by listening.
