Get ready to be swept about by Angelica Nero's heartwarming charm. This three-year-old’s rendition of the ‘Moana’ song will make your heart melt. This pint-size, talented little girl has already captured hearts with her love for music and singing. In her latest video, this smiley-faced little girl takes on the beloved Disney song ‘How Fall I’ll Go,’ which was originally performed by Alessia Cara.

This song has become the heartbeat for dreamers everywhere with its uplifting lyrics about courage and the call of adventure. From the very first note, Angelica’s sweet voice draws you in. Her innocent joy and infectious smile, complemented by her cute dress and ponytails, add to the nostalgia of the spirited song. 

With lyrics like, “See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me…” it’s impossible not to sing along. We love watching Angelica with her tiny microphone and her expressive face as she sings about Moana–a girl not unlike herself. Moana is a bold and curious heroine who isn’t afraid to follow her heart and do what’s right for her people. The song is perfect for this pint-sized girl with so much talent at just three years old. 

‘See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me 

And no one knows how far it goes

 If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me

 One day I'll know how far I'll go’

What I love most about the video is how it captures the beginning of her career as a singer. She may be a mere toddler but she’s already creating waves of joy with every performance.

If you love Disney movies and enjoy watching pure, unfiltered talent shine, Angelica takes ‘How Far You’ll Go’ to a whole new level. It’s a must-watch. It’s a sweet reminder that the power of a song and the passion to sing can bring joy and a smile to our faces. 

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Elvis Presley’s classic “Suspicious Minds” gets a fantastic a cappella makeover. This is an absolutely outstanding performance featuring some obviously incredibly talented individuals who put their musical gifts on full display. Check out this unique and immensely enjoyable rendition of a beloved timeless tune.

Elvis had a significant impact on music and entertainment in general. Decades after his death, his songs are still widely played, listened to and covered. His songs are instantly recognizable by generations. While less widely known than his tunes, his movies can still be easily found on television.

People continue to be fascinated by Elvis Presley. Hundreds of thousands visit Graceland, his Memphis, Tennessee, home every year. There is even an entire industry where individuals dress as the King of Rock and Roll, impersonating him and entertaining crowds.

Of course, there will never be another Elvis Presley. However, that does not mean people will stop trying to imitate him and perform his catchy, beloved songs. In fact, Elvis Presley’s songs have to be among the most covered of all time. There are page after page of YouTube videos where others perform his songs.

While there are many covers of “Suspicious Minds” online, this one from Perpetuum Jazzile is easily one of the most unique and, arguably, one of the most beautiful. The vocalists perform the tune using only the strength and beauty of their voices, never missing a note and delighting anyone and everyone who happens to catch their stunning and rousing rendition.

Their performance is pitch-perfect; you’ll want to watch and listen to it multiple times. Everyone in the packed auditorium appears to agree with that statement wholeheartedly. After their awe-inspiring cover of “Suspicious Minds,” the crowd erupts in a thunderous round of applause, and rightfully so.

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.”

Prepare to be blown away and encouraged by a little girl’s voice and a little boy’s piano skills. This street performance is absolutely adorable. Check out a 3-year-old’s precious ‘You Raise Me Up’ rendition. 

It takes a lot of courage to perform live, but especially for a preschooler to be out in public sharing her voice. At the start of this video, we see two sweet little kids in blue sweaters playing and singing on a busy holiday filled sidewalk. You will melt as you hear this innocent voice of this tiny girl singing about being raised up. People on the streets gather to cheer them on and clap. 

As she hits the chorus, you think about how truly impressive it is that a little one can remember these words and sing them publicly. One of the cutest things that she does is motion her shoulders as she sings about shoulders. You can see parents in the audience holding their own little ones and smiling as they watch.

There is a proud parent recording on video. So many people are smiling while observing. The girl just sits there comfortably on her chair with the boy next to her accompanying her while they perform with confidence. We even get a glimpse of famous violin performer, Karolina Protsenko, viewing in delight. At the end of the video, the young girl hits a higher note and the crowd applauds the performance. 

Viewing such a young person singing lyrics about being raised up reminds us of Christ who actually raised Himself from the dead and raises us too when we believe in Him. We can be encouraged to know that Jesus raises us up from the darkest pits and hardest situations. 

“But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.” Acts 2:24

Check out a familiar song with an equally talented voice. Leila Jane does a fantastic job as she shares her talents in public in Dublin. Watch this street performer's delightful 'Jolene' cover.

As Leila begins, she has such a genuineness and casual feel to her style. She does a great job singing this well-known Dolly Parton song and could even be confused for the actual singer herself. Their tone is very similar, and Leila’s voice is perfect for this song. As Leila sings, she has her own flare as she is a one-woman show singer with her guitar.

People around her are dancing, watching, and looking on as they walk by while shopping. Leila has some unexpected vocal runs and is precious. She is fun to watch perform and is a positive woman. She shines from the streets with her pure voice and musicianship. 

Jolene might be a well-known song, but it is not easy to perform. Leila does a wonderful job taking this song and bringing power, authenticity, and flare to it. She will have you dancing and singing along from behind your screen. Whether you are a Dolly Parton fan or love this classic hit, enjoy Leila’s take on this song in public, live. At the end of the song, this happy and precious young woman smiles and thanks the audience. She is so lovable and fun to watch.

Seeing Leila perform reminds us of the joy that we can have in the Lord. Whether it is a horrible “Jolene” type of situation or our best day when we have Jesus, His Spirit lives in us and can give us the strength to choose eternal joy in Him regardless of our circumstances. 

“Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24

If you want to hear a stellar performance, check out this incredibly talented young man on The Voice. Jan Dan has such a rich and pure voice. He wows the crowd and the judges with this performance. See Gwen Stefani moved to tears by contestant’s stunning 'Dust in the Wind' performance.

Jan Dan has such an original and classic voice. He has purity of voice, amazing runs, and strength in his powerhouse moments. He sings “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas. This unexpected song was originally produced as a rock song, however Jan Dan shares this song with his own pop style. He is a true musical artist and is completely inspiring and intriguing to listen to on video.

When we see someone be so creative, it reminds us of our Creator in heaven. He tells us that nothing is new under the sun because ultimately He is the author of everything good. As we are mesmerized by this young man’s skills, may it lead us to bring glory to the creator of every single note that he sings in his performance on stage. God is deserving of total glory and praise. 

After his performance the judges compliment him with his incredible job. He is told that it would be easy to listen to a full concert of his voice. He is encouraged by his vocal ability and diversity to take many genres and make them his own. He is a true artist. They love his own style. Gwen shares through tears that he is a “painter with his voice.” 

“What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us.” Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

From the stunning duet of ‘Hero’ to the camaraderie and encouragement following the performance, this video from The Voice is one to watch through to the end! Cameron Wright and Cassidy Lee combine their different styles to sing Mariah Carey’s 1993 hit, and the result is incredible. The judges were blown away by the performances of both—even though there had to be a winner.

Cameron is chic and stylish in a crisp, white suit, and Cassidy, dressed in black, exudes a rockin’ country-girl vibe. Their coach and mentor, Michael Bublé, enjoys pairing diverse artists during Battles, and we get to enjoy all the fruits of that artistic chaos. The judges feel the song selection may have been easier for Cameron, but Cassidy did amazing outside of her vocal box!

Among his comments, Michael references Cassidy’s cool “growls,” and the first of those is heard at 1:03 in the video. Judges note Cameron’s powerful vocals and ability to easily accomplish all the runs, as demonstrated at 2:00; we see that power first released at 1:15. Each performer does their own thing while working together wonderfully to create an incredible rendering of the touching tune. In fact, Reba particularly admires Cassidy’s self-disciple. She resisted the urge to match Cameron’s musical moves and stayed true to herself; she stayed “in her lane.”

During the performance, Coach Michael is initially reserved, squelching a Cameron-induced chuckle at 1:15. However, he’s on his feet by 1:50. Reba smiles slightly and studies the two singers, always searching for that magical something in each artist. Snoop, his eyes hidden behind dark shades, rocks his head to the beat. And Gwen confirms her appreciation with a mile-wide smile and laughter along the way. Each judge exhibits their own version of approval.

As the performers sing the final notes, Cameron reaches for Cassidy’s hand, and it feels like these two competitors really like each other. It’s a truly sweet moment.

The four stars begin their feedback, and each one is so generous and kind. Snoop teases that he is moved to tears because, after all, he feels like he is a hero! Gwen scoffs! Snoop refuses to make a choice and passes the baton to Reba. She calls Cameron a powerhouse and compares Cassidy’s singing to a comforting hug. Gwen and Michael share glowing reviews, too.

Before naming Cameron as his choice, Michael declares himself the winner—he’s had the opportunity to work with both contestants. The Canadian crooner is one classy guy! 

Then, it happens! Cassidy expresses her gratitude to Michael and gives him a goodbye hug just as Reba slams down her button, stealing Cassidy for herself. Backstage, Cameron couldn’t be happier for her teammate. Now, Cassidy will go on to learn from Ms. Reba! 

Who doesn’t feel like they just got a great big, comforting hug!

“Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24

You won’t believe this Bach cover piece is performed by tiny little fingers. Nicole Bresciani, a five-year-old, stuns the world with her flawless piano performance. I remember taking piano lessons as a child, and I remember how often I would play the wrong note. I didn’t have a knack for it. Of course, when I had kids, I thought it was important they learn how to play the piano, too. While my kids did so much better than I did, none of us could hold a candle to Nicole. She is one incredibly talented little girl.

As her small fingers effortlessly navigate the intricate melodies of Back, she plays each note with joy, intense concentration, and joy. I think what sets Nicole apart besides being a young prodigy is how her talent reflects who she is in the Lord. Every chord is an act of worship and a reminder that we all have a Creator who has blessed each of us with unique talents. For some, it’s repairing machines; for others, it’s crunching numbers or caring for the sick. Whatever talent God has given you, we can be like Nicole and use it for God’s kingdom. 

Watching her perform is definitely a humbling experience, one that encourages us to reflect on our own gifts. One fellow piano player couldn’t help but comment on how difficult the piece was that Nicole played. He said, “What beautiful phrasing.  One of the hardest aspects to grasp with Bach is that of polyphony versus homophony- the sense of line to the individual parts.  This girl’s interpretation reveals a musical maturity well beyond her years.”

Another one of her 1.61 thousand fans added, “I am sixty-three years old.  If I spent my entire life learning piano and had finally reached her current level of mastery, I feel like I could be justifiably and truly proud of myself.  She's five years old.  I cannot imagine what gifts this amazing angel could bring to this world.  She really does give me hope for the future.”

We couldn’t agree more. Nicole has a future in music. This won’t be the last we see of her. 

Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”

Don’t miss this unforgettable and fun performance of ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ by Kelly Clarkson. This classic hit, originally performed by The Bangles in 1986, is brought back to life by Kelly in a way that only she can. Known for her powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence, Kelly puts her own spin on this upbeat song, delivering a rendition that feels fresh, exciting, and packed with energy.

‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ was a chart-topping anthem in the eighties, and it’s easy to see why Kelly was drawn to it. The infectious rhythm and catchy lyrics practically beg for a performance that makes you want to get up and dance, and Kelly does not disappoint. She kicks off the song with playful charm and a twinkle in her eye, immediately drawing her studio audience in. Then, with her unique vocal flair, she transforms the song into something more — something uniquely Kelly.

As she sings the familiar chorus, ‘Walk like an Egyptian,’ her powerful voice rings out, filling the room with warmth and joy. It's impossible not to smile as Kelly effortlessly carries the iconic tune, making it sound both nostalgic and contemporary at the same time. The energy in the room is electric, with the audience fully engaged, swaying and clapping along. How does she do it? She is so incredibly talented, and we love that she shares it with us. 

While ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ is an upbeat, fun song, Kelly’s version highlights her ability to bring emotion and personality to every song she sings. Whether she’s singing power ballads or funky '80s hits, her voice connects deeply with the audience, and this performance is no exception.

Since this performance aired, it’s received rave reviews from fans all over the world. One fan shared, “The best part of Kelly's show is her singing at the start. I hope she never stops doing it.” Another added that Kelly is getting at rock songs, he said, “Don't be surprised if we get a more rock-centric Kelly on the next album. She really has been on fire with the faster paced/rockier songs. And you can tell she's in that zone on this one, really feeling it.”

Another fan added, “The best part of Kelly's show is her singing at the start. I hope she never stops doing it.” We agree. We hope Kelly continues to bless us all with her gift for music. What did you think of the performance? Did you love her rendition of the song as much as we did? 

1 Peter 4:10  "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."

“Twist and Shout” by The Beatles has gotten a fantastic ukulele cover. One of the most beloved, well-known songs by arguably the biggest band of all time has received quite an unexpected but still delightful rendition. You are bound to find yourself twisting and shouting right along with this fresh, updated take on a Beatles classic.

Not all covers are created equal. Some are great and may even give the original a run for its money, while others should have never ever even been imagined. Of course, I’m not talking about blankets, quilts or any other large, long piece of cloth that could be called a cover. No, I’m interested in covers of songs.

Covers are a time-honored tradition that is not going anywhere. Musicians have played each other’s songs for decades, likely centuries. Covers are so popular that entire bands are dedicated to playing the music of specific bands and artists. The most popular musician for the cover treatment has to be Elvis Presley. While he is far and away in the top spot, The Beatles are not far behind.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two musicians provide their take on “Twist and Shout” by the four lads from Liverpool. But instead of playing that timeless tune on the guitar or bass, they go a different, unexpected route. They play the classic track on ukuleles.

I know what you’re thinking, “How could that ever be any good? That will likely be horrible, destroying a classic in the process.” But that is not the case at all. It is a delightful version of the song made famous by John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Not only does this talented duo play their ukuleles, but they also provide the vocals, singing those iconic, memorable lyrics. It’s not The Beatles, but it is still worth several listens.

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.”

VoicePlay, a supremely talented group of vocalists, nailed the classic “Stand by Me,” delivering a mesmerizing a cappella performance. This is a dazzling version of the song known and loved by many. You need to check out their awe-inspiring version.

Musicians are skilled people blessed by the Lord with the gift of creating beautiful and pleasant sounds. They often produce these delightful sounds by strumming a string here and tickling a key there. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of instruments aid in creating these tones, rhythms and melodies. Ultimately, it stands to reason that the more instruments a musician can master, the more sounds they can produce.

But as enjoyable as it may be to hear someone expertly play the piano, shred on the electric guitar or enchant on the kazoo, one instrument will always and forever top the rest: the human voice. There is nothing quite like hearing a world-class, accomplished and unbelievably gifted vocalist belt out lyrics to anything. The human voice is an instrument unlike any other.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the gentlemen who comprise VoicePlay demonstrate the power and beauty of the human voice with their magnificent cover of the 1961 Ben E. King tune. Their voices are smooth, comforting and soothing as they sing those familiar lyrics. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable cover by some first-rate vocalists.

“When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we’ll see

No, I won’t be afraid”

Even die-hard fans of Ben E. King’s original, people who believe no one should ever touch that tune will love this cover. How could you possibly dislike this version? There is too much to like about it. One could reasonably argue that their cover is even better than the original from 1961. There is so much talent on display in that nearly four-minute clip.

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

If you enjoy music, then this video is for you. If you enjoy Legos, then this is a clip you do not want to miss out on. I have never seen anything quite like this ever before. Zachary Peterson has crafted his very own Lego fiddle. Yes, you read that correctly. With such an inventive spirit, Peterson will wow you with this clip. You might be asking, “Lego fiddle?” This musician’s incredible creation and performance will amaze you and motivate your own artistic abilities.

Zachary plays a portion of ‘Concerning Hobbits’ by Howard Shore. As he stands with confidence in front of the microphone, he begins to play. The instrument is built in the shape of a rectangle with white and blue lego blocks. The strings, the neck, and the scroll all are attached to the Lego creation. It is wonderfully creative on Peterson’s part.

The amazing fiddle reminds us of the beauty of our God as Creator. He is over all things, and His fingerprints are on everything. Nothing is new under the Son, and although this invention is inspiring, it is merely a tool that points us toward the ultimate Creator. He is glorious. The amazing gift is that the Lord has invited us to create just like He did, and when we do, we can give honor and worship to His name through our talents. 

Zachary has shown true innovation and has put his heart and passion into this project. It is really exciting that he has shared this discovery with the world and hopefully will encourage us to be creative with the help of God.

“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:16

A bride and groom nailed the iconic “Dirty Dancing” routine. The recently married couple performed the famed dance number from the Patrick Swayze film as their first dance. This is a clip that you’ll likely want to watch multiple times. Be sure to check it out!

Weddings and all the surrounding festivities are special, lovely and often emotional occasions. The wedding ceremony and the following reception are places where dearly held, deeply cherished memories are created. Those moments will be looked back upon fondly by that couple for the rest of their lives.

Because couples place great importance and significance on the wedding and the reception, nearly everything about the big day is intricately and meticulously planned. Some people will take years to prepare and organize their wedding day. Because of the thoroughness and attention to detail most people give to their big day, it makes sense that couples would go to great lengths for aspects of the reception, such as the first dance.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a couple using their first dance to recreate the memorable dance number from the beloved 1987 film “Dirty Dancing.” The bride and groom nailed it!

The couple captives their wedding guests with their dance moves. Those in attendance were unable to take their eyes off the couple. The bride and groom even get cheers and applause from onlookers several times throughout their routine.

However, no reenactment of that dance and scene would be complete without the move where Patrick Swayze catches Jennifer Grey and holds her up in the air as he slowly spins. Around the three-minute mark of the clip, the couple attempts and pulls that maneuver off flawlessly, much to the delight of their guests.

In the video’s description, the bride explains that doing the dance from “Dirty Dancing” was not her idea but that of her soon-to-be husband.

“When we first started planning our wedding, Chris suggested we try the Dirty Dancing lift in our living room. I was terrified of heights, but thought we might just pull it off,” she wrote.

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.”

One of the most well-known operatic voices of our time is Andrea Bocelli. He is a seasoned performer with a powerhouse voice. Whether touring on the road or performing on television, Andrea is always a pleasure to hear. In this video, watch Andrea Bocelli as he mesmerizes with ‘Moon River’ performance on The Today Show. 

Andrea has such a stunning voice as he begins to sing. He is next to a young artist named Sofia Carson, with a pianist behind him and a scene of Tuscany in the background. Bocelli has cared for his voice well over the years. He has such strength and clarity of tone. Sofia comes in and sings in a younger and more modern twist to the song. She has a pop-style voice and is a nice soprano. She is dressed in a lovely floor-length gown. They are both dressed in classy outfits for the roles that they are playing. The two of them are truly acting the parts of the song as they begin to dance during the instrumental. They are smiling and enjoying this moment. This must be a highlight moment in Sofia’s career to sing a duet with such an established vocalist. 

Their voices sound beautiful together. The harmonies and the ways that they finesse the phrases vocally are impressive. They each show great emotion. At the end of the song, Sofia lays her head on Andrea’s shoulder in character, and the two share a hug as she says something to him in Italian, and they smile at one another.

Music brings out many emotions in us. God has created music for a reason. He knew that when He designed all of the notes that we would be able to sing beautiful melodies. As we appreciate these two vocalists, may it remind us to glorify the Creator of music.

“My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.” Psalm 57:7

Bee Gees’ classic ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ gets a stunning instrumental makeover by a talented young man by the name of Sungha Jung. He’s had a love of playing the guitar from a young age. He discovered his talent and followed in his father’s footsteps as a guitarist. Sungha stands out in how he plays the guitar through what is known as acoustic fingerstyle. 

The self-taught guitarist first learned to play the piano before moving on to the guitar. His self-taught dedication launched him into the spotlight, gaining fans all over the world with covers like the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ theme song. 

Fans of his offered so much encouragement. One commenter said, “I've been listening to you since 2008, Sungha. I've watched you grow from an amazing guitarist to a phenomenal artist over the years. I got to see you play live in Austin some years ago. It was one of the best nights of my life. To this day, you are my favorite guitarist of all time. Thank you so much for brightening so many of my days and nights. You have a forever fan here in the US. I hope to see you again sometime.” 

Another added, “I've been listening to the Bee Gees since I was 11, I'm 63 now. For me, not many people move me like them, but this young man did a great job.”

Another fan praised him for his talent, he added, “This was really moving to me this morning, chills and smiles all the way.  I have always loved the Bee Gees and have been a long-time fan of yours, so this was a no-brainer. Thank you, Sungha, you're the best!” With over seven million subscribers, he continues to gain fans worldwide for his incredible talent and because he loves to inspire others to learn how to play the guitar fingerstyle.

If you’re a fan of the Bee Gees, you’ll love this new acoustic version of this 1977 beloved hit. Before you know it, Sungha’s version will have you tapping your toes and even dancing on your feet. What an incredible song!

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."

The Police, a British rock band, is known for their influential and amazing songs from the seventies and eighties, led by singer Sting. They knew how to combine punk rock and reggae into a new sound that fans loved. 40 Fingers recently played their beloved song in a mesmerizing cover of ‘Message in a Bottle.’ If you’ve never heard of 40 Fingers, you’re in for a real treat. 

The group 40 Fingers is comprised of four musicians who expertly play their guitars, creating a unique music experience you won’t soon forget. They play the songs so well, you can almost hear the lyrics through the strumming of their guitars. 

‘I'll send an S.O.S to the world, I'll send an S.O.S to the world

I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my

I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah

Message in a bottle, yeah’

You can’t help but sing along to the song’s memorable lyrics and dance to the beat. From the very first note, 40 Fingers command your attention. With the distinctive opening riff to the rich acoustic chorus notes, each member of the quartet adds a unique layer to the music. The best part of the performance is watching them play at the Roman Theatre in Verona, which adds even more depth to the music. Fans agreed!

One viewer commented “I was there in Verona, wonderful concert! Wonderful evening!” Another added that it was an incredible performance, he said, “As always a very personal and energizing reinterpretation of a wonderful song.” A fan chimed in, too, about watching them play. She said, “I could sit and watch these four for hours. The fantastic music is just a bonus.” 

What about you? Do you think you could enjoy watching them perform live? We hope you enjoyed this version, so crank up the volume and let this timeless tune take you back! 

Psalm 133:1 “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!"

The Six-String Solider's stunning ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain’ cover captivates their audience at the airport. In a true heartfelt tribute to America’s veterans, the Six-String Soldiers of the U.S. Army Field Band played the beloved classic by Creedence Clearwater Revival during a PBS special ‘Salute to Service.’ Not only will the song bring a smile to your face, but the video will bring tears to your eyes as veterans, young and old, arrive at the airport to be honored for their service. Some came with family members, and some family members were carrying photos of the fallen loved ones who never made it home. Yet, all were united in how they had served our country. 

One veteran gave a thumbs-up as he stopped, watched, and listened to the music while many took out their phones to capture the moment on camera. The Six-String Soldiers are made of Sgt. 1st Class Brandon Boron, Master Sgt. Glenn Robertson, Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Bennett, and Sgt. 1st Class Renee Bennett. Together, they are known for their acoustic talent in playing violins, bass, and guitar. It was a beautiful way to honor the soldiers who fought and served our country. What a powerful way to say ‘thank you.’ 

Fans who watched the video couldn’t agree more. One viewer wished them a happy Veteran’s Day and added, “Bless you all, always, and for all of my brothers and sisters at arms, Happy Veterans Day. Welcome Home.” Another viewer commented that we should all be grateful for their service and said, “Everyone should try to live a life worthy of their sacrifice. Every freedom we have, we owe to ALL veterans, past and present. Thank you.” The rest of the comments were wishing the veterans a wonderful Veterans Day with gratitude. 

What a wonderful way to honor those who served our country. I always try to thank a service member and give them a handshake. It’s the least I can do for the sacrifice they made for our country. We hope you enjoyed this truly stunning video. 

2 Timothy 2:3-4 “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.”

The incredibly talented Allie Sherlock turned in a powerful, awe-inspiring cover of Gloria Gaynor's classic, “I Will Survive.” This rendition of the 1978 hit is one that you will want to listen to repeatedly. You will find yourself tapping your toe and singing as you take in this lovely performance.

Musicians covering the work of other musicians can be challenging to pull off. Sure, anyone can play or sing a tune previously recorded and performed by someone else. But, of course, the trick is to do it correctly and not wholly destroy it for fans of the original. You don’t want people to wish they did not have ears when listening to your cover performance. That would not be desirable for sure.

However, covers become exceedingly more complicated if the song being covered is beloved and known by essentially everyone on Earth. The pressure increases considerably because, at that point, people judge the cover against the original version. Often, that judgment will not be kind either.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Allie covers the classic and still widely heard and played “I Will Survive.”

“Go on, go, walk out the door

Turn around now

You’re not welcome anymore

You’re the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye”

Who doesn’t know and love that song?

As is the case with every song she covers, Allie knocks this one out of the park. With her unique and distinct-sounding voice, Allie shows she has been greatly blessed in the musical department. This version is a treat for anyone who happens to hear it.

However, unlike nearly every other song she has covered, she is backed up by a band. Typically, Allie stands at the microphone while she strums on her guitar. Often, she’ll be joined by a fellow musician, and they’ll turn in a delightful duet. But this is a much more elaborate setup than we are used to seeing from her.

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.”

There’s something undeniably magical about the way music can stop us in our tracks. It has the power to captivate, inspire, create fun moments, and even bring strangers together. You’ll love street performers Allie Sherlock and Rhys McPhilips as this duo performs a fantastic cover of Elvis Presley’s classic of ‘Jailhouse Rock.’ 

Dressed down in a leather jacket, jeans, and a black baseball cap, Allie focuses on the words as she lifts her guitar and strums for the first few opening lines of the famous song. But then she belts out the first few lyrics, stopping shoppers in their tracks. She sings with immense passion and has a deep, throaty voice that reminds me of Kelly Clarkson and Lauren Daigle. She is a soulful vocal powerhouse with flair and style. Before we know it, it’s Rhys’ turn to join in. 

‘Let's rock

Everybody, let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock’

Rhys managed to capture what made Elvis Presley so legendary. He sang with a unique combination of power and raw emotion, perfectly capturing the song's attitude. Together, Allie and Rhys created a vibrant and energetic song, and they blended their voices seamlessly. 

The crazy thing about this pair singing is they are mere teenagers. Teens who have a passion for music and a love for performing. It makes one wonder where they will be in a few years, as we hope they will get the opportunity to realize their dreams with a record deal. Their voices are the kind you won’t soon forget. As they finished the last few notes of the song, the crowd erupted into applause while Allie and Phys smiled and thanked everyone for listening. We hope you enjoyed this performance just as they enjoyed performing a classic. 

Psalm 96:1-3 "Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

A group of musicians turned in a beautiful and absolutely fantastic cover of Dolly Parton and the late Kenny Rogers’ hit “Islands in the Stream.” No one will ever reach or top Kenny and Dolly’s classic duet performance, but this cover comes close. This is an awesome rendition that deserves several listens.

Dolly and Kenny are legendary entertainers. Both enjoyed careers that spanned decades, including dozens of beloved hit songs between them and numerous appearances on television and the big screen. Their evident and well-documented talent helped to catapult them to heights most people in the entertainment field can only imagine.

By themselves, Dolly and Kenny are responsible for a handful of iconic, memorable tunes. Who could ever forget “Jolene,” “The Gambler,” “9 to 5” and “Coat of Many Colors?” However, some may argue that their best performances came when the two superstars joined forces, which they did several times. But none of their duets is more prominent than “Islands in the Stream.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band performed the iconic Dolly and Kenny tune, “Islands in the Stream.” Actress Kristen Bell, likely best known for voicing Anna in the “Frozen” films, joins the group for the rendition. Kristen and fellow actor Ken Marino provide the sweet-sounding vocals.

“Islands in the stream

That is what we are

No one in between

How can we be wrong?”

Again, this is not Dolly and Kenny singing, but this rendition is good. Dolly and Kenny would likely give their wholehearted approval. Even those who are diehard Dolly or Kenny fans will have to agree that this is likely one of the better covers you will ever come across of this song. The amount of talent in this clip is off the charts; both Kristen and Ken sound outstanding.

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.”

Prepare for a beautiful song and video. This is a father and daughter who are both individually gifted singers, but hearing their voices together is amazing. Watch Mat & Savanna Shaw’s stunning, ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ cover.

At the start of this music video, we see Savanna singing in front of the gorgeous mountains. She is walking in a white dress and singing in front of the sunset. Her voice is gorgeous. She has such a stunning voice that is strong, light, and pure in tone. Suddenly, she and her father are seen up in an old wooden tower. The two are singing in harmony in the chorus. Their blend is perfection, and it is precious to watch a father and daughter share their love for music together.

We see a scan of the pretty western scenery. Then, Mat sings the second verse. His voice is seasoned and professional. He is a natural at bringing in the emotion of the lyrics in a genuine and empowering way. The two are shown singing the chorus together again at sunset suddenly, there is a soft moment and instrumental. After, the two come in with full vocal power as you get a full-on view of the incredible tower that they are in, which overlooks the mountains at sunset. 

This entire video is so well done. The harmonies are unexpected and exciting at the end of the song. The sweetness of the father and daughter singing about being the ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ is the perfect song choice for this daddy/daughter duo. As you listen to this incredible version of this timeless song, prepare to be inspired and in amazement by the beauty in nature that is seen, as well as the music heard from the Shaws. God reminds His children in the Bible that we can take refuge in the shadow of His wing. May this song remind us of how He has us.

“One who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1
