Legendary musician Michael Bolton joins with Laura Bretan for an incredible performance of ‘The Prayer.’
This powerful song was originally written by David Foster, Carole Bayer Sager, Alberto Testa and Tony Renis in 1999. It was written in both English and Italian for artists Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli to sing solo. But it was their incredible duet performance that truly propelled the song into the classic that it is today.
“So let the children remember the sun
Let them dance, let them soar
For their lives have begun
Let the children engender the rain
As the river runs through fields
Forever subsiding their pain
Prayer”
Decades after it’s release, ‘The Prayer’ is still a popular song for artists and musicians to cover. Today, one iconic voice is sharing the stage with an former America’s Got Talent contestant for this stunning duet.
Michael Bolton is a Grammy-winning artist with a slew of hits under his belt. We first met Laura Bretan when she won the sixth season of Romania’s Got Talent.
From there, she went on to place sixth in the American version of the franchise. Now, these two powerhouse vocalists are putting their own spin on this special song and it’s absolutely amazing.
Just listen as their voices combine in perfect harmony to sing these beloved lyrics. There is just something about hearing the song that always fills me with a sense of peace and understanding.
What did you think of this performance from Michael Bolton and Laura Bretan?
My goal is to write beautiful music that is a fusion of East and West. "Heavenward: Meditation for Violin" uses the Indian tanpura as a duet partner which provides a calming backdrop. My violin is in a scordatura of F#, C#, F#, C# (as opposed to traditional G, D, A, E). This adds extra sympathetic vibrations to the violin as it interacts with the fundamental F# of the drone. As a professional violinist and composer, I have been playing the violin since I was 2 years old. There have been many ups and downs along the way, but the love of music has kept me going these past 40 years! Although my training consists largely of Western music, I had the opportunity to spend 5 months in India when I was 18. After receiving my Masters in Composition from Carnegie Mellon University, an additional 5 summers were spent studying South Indian Carnatic violin at a local Pittsburgh temple. All of these experiences have led me toward a musical sound and expression that I believe is uniquely beautiful. I hope that my music might especially reach those who are hurting and give them some comfort and hope.

12-year-old Luke Islam returns to the America’s Got Talent stage for a stunning rendition of ‘Ashes’ by Celine Dion.
We first met this incredible young singer on season fourteen of America’s Got Talent. Before his first audition, we learned that Luke was a New York native and dreamed of being on Broadway.
Luke chose ‘She Used To Be Mine’ from the musical ‘Waitress’ for his moving audition. It was such an incredible performance that judge Julianne Hough was moved to press her golden buzzer.
From that moment on, Luke’s life was completely transformed. He went on to the semi-finals of the competition and even had the chance to appear on the Broadway stage.
Now, this talented teen is back for another chance at the AGT crown with the latest installment of America’s Got Talent: The Champions. The popular competition features over 40 acts from all across the globe.
The list of contenders includes past winners, finalists and fan-favorites. And for today’s performance, Luke isn’t holding anything back. Just listen as he belts out the words to ‘Ashes’ from Celine Dion.
“Let beauty come out of ashes
Let beauty come out of ashes
And when I pray to God all I ask is
Can beauty come out of ashes?”
This incredible performance earned him a standing ovation from the crowd. For such a young boy, he surely has some big talent. Even though he did not advance in the competition, I have a feeling that we will be seeing a lot more from Luke in the future.
It was a heartwarming moment captured on camera when this rescued cow finally feels grass in the field for the first time.
All of God’s creatures are amazing. From the biggest animals in the jungle, to the smallest fish in the sea, He took His time to create each and every one of them.
However, there are some people in the world that do not appreciate and care for animals the way that they were intended to be. Sadly, that is the case for this cow.
This rescue cow spent the majority of his life in an enclosure that was completely devoid of grass or dirt. He had a concrete floor and no access to the outside.
That’s when Amanda Marie Carter, the overseer of Happily Ever After Farm, stepped in. She helped save Homie from slaughter and give him a new life at the animal sanctuary. This precious video clip showcases the life-changing moment when Homie was released into a field and allowed to run and be free.
As Amanda cheers him on, Homie runs and romps around the field, letting him feel grass for the very first time. It was truly a moment full of pure happiness and joy. Who else is grinning from ear to ear right now?
Genesis 1:21 “So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”

The sheriff’s office in Palm Beach County were in for a surprise when their emergency call ended up being a talking parrot. It started as a routine call for these police officers when they received a report about a woman yelling and screaming for help at a neighbor’s house.
On Facebook, the sheriff’s office wrote, “Our Deputies in Lake Worth Beach came to the help of someone screaming for help. Hilarity ensued.” When they arrived on scene, a man was outside and happily greeted the officers.
He later said, “I was changing the brakes on my wife's car and had my 40-year-old parrot, Rambo, on his outside perch where he sings and talks. Sometime later four police officers showed up saying a neighbor called because she heard a woman screaming for help.”
Rambo’s owner has had the parrot for over four decades. He shared that when he was a child, Rambo lived in a cage. That’s when he taught Rambo how to say “Help, help, let me out!” Flash forward to the present and Rambo started yelling this phrase while outside.
A nearby neighbor heard the screams and mistook it for a woman in danger. Needless to say, everyone got a good laugh out of the situation and the neighbor has now been formally introduced to Rambo.
Now, the video has been viewed over 2 million times online and continues to make everyone laugh out laugh. This is definitely a story that everyone involved is going to be telling for years to come.

Grammy award-winning artist Jennifer Hudson performs an awe-inspiring rendition of the hit song ‘Hallelujah.’
Leonard Cohen’s rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ is one of the most popular songs of all time. The powerful song was originally released in 1984, but it wasn’t until Jeff Buckley released the song on his 1994 album, ‘Grace’ that the song really started to gain momentum. Since that time, it’s become a worldwide phenomenon and cementing itself in music history.
Over the years, many artists have covered this powerful song, which sounds like a perfect blend of a rock ballad and a gospel song. Some notable covers include Bon Jovi, Pentatonix and Susan Boyle.
Today, powerhouse vocalist Jennifer Hudson is putting her own spin on ‘Hallelujah’ and it’s absolutely incredible. We first met Jennifer when she appeared as a contestant on the third season of American Idol.
She may not have won the competition but that clearly did not stop her from becoming a Hollywood legend. Jennifer went on to appear in hit films such as Dreamgirls, release multiple chart-climbing albums and she even received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
Today, she’s at the Global Citizen Prize award ceremony for a special performance of ‘Hallelujah.’ Just listen as she stands on stage and belts out these iconic lyrics.
The whole crowd is on their feet as she hits every single note perfectly. This is not an easy song to sing but Jennifer makes it look so easy. This is definitely one rendition of ‘Hallelujah’ that you will want to hear again.
During an audition on The X Factor, a 16-year-old freezes up while singing a Whitney Houston ballad. But she regains her confidence and returns to sing the song while impressing the judges and audience.
Before the audition starts, Tamera Foster is seen sitting with her family. “I have never seen that many people in my life,” she says. “Just pretend they’re not there. Just sing like you’re at home,” her mother says as she tries to ease her nerves.
“The only performances I’ve ever done are in school assemblies,” Tamera explains. “I think the maximum that I’ve performed in front of is 40 people.”
It’s clear that Tamera is nervous, and who wouldn’t be? Singing in front of all those people including the judges would be an intimidating experience to say the least.
Once Tamera is on stage, she starts singing ‘I Have Nothing’ by Whitney Houston. She only gets about five words of the song out before she freezes up. The audience is cheering her on, and one of the judges motion for her to continue. But Tamera just cannot seem to get another note out.
Her family starts shouting words of encouragement from off stage in hopes that Tamera will continue with the song.
“Can I have two seconds please?,” she asks the judges.
The judges realize that Tamera has forgotten the words to the song. In order to save her audition, she quickly goes off stage to ask her family to help refresh her on the lyrics.
After talking with her family, she gets back on stage, clearly shaken by what has just happened, but knows that the show must go on! She proceeds with her audition and starts the song from the top. Although she misses a few words throughout the song, she keeps pushing through. Tamera eventually ends up gaining her confidence again and blows everyone away with the rest of the audition.
Once the audition was over, the judges had some words to share. “Tamera, it was by no means perfect, but what we see here right now is potential beyond belief,” shares one of the judges. “That was captivating and mesmerizing.”
All of the judges end up saying yes to her, and Tamera runs off stage to celebrate the victory with an embrace from her family.
