Listen to this fantastic cover of the popular song ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ by The Beatles. The talented family band featured in the video is Missioned Souls. And their performance is one that is sure to bring a smile to your face!

‘Well, she was just seventeen if you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Oh, when I saw her standin' there?’

What a beautiful and talented family! The members of the family band include husband and wife, Secan and Sheena, and their four children: Naces, who is 16 years old and plays the keyboard; Neisha, who is 14 years old and plays lead guitar; Stacey, who is 12 years old and sings/plays rhythm guitar; and Isaiah, who is 11 years old and plays drums.

This family band has a beautiful mission, as stated on their YouTube page. “We are a family commissioned to propagate the importance of family unity by showing love and respect to each family member and for one another. We put into action our God-given gifts to bring joy and fun into other people’s lives through music,” their bio reads. “Missioned Souls was born out of our earnest desire to give thanks for the simple musical talent we receive from above, thus, giving glory to the Holy Trinity.”

Many people online have praised this rendition by Missioned Souls of ‘I Saw Her Standing There.’

“You guys are awesome.Thanks for making the world a better place. You bring me lots of joy!” comments one person online.

“Made me want to get my dancing shoes out!” writes another person. “Great job Missioned Souls!”

We hope you enjoyed listening to this awesome version of ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ today!

You have never heard “Y.M.C.A.” performed quite like this before, as the disco classic gets a violin cover. This is a delightfully unique rendition of the tune that many know and love. Watch the short but thoroughly enjoyable clip to see and listen to this violin instrumental cover of The Village People’s legendary song, “Y.M.C.A.”

Covers, thanks in large part to shows like American Idol, The Voice and America’s Got Talent, are here for the long haul. For those who might have been under the false and mistaken impression that covers might be on their way out, they will be sorely disappointed. Nearly every even remotely recognizable song has been covered by other musicians. Don’t believe me? Go to YouTube, and search for just about any song, and you’re bound to find a handful of videos of people performing it.

Now, while covers are plentiful, most are simply carbon copies of the original, and that does nothing for anyone. If we want to hear a song played just like the original, we’ll listen to the original because it’s going to be better. But when you’re doing a cover, change something up, do something different with it. Leave your mark on that tune, make it your own in some way.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Karolina Protsenko did just that with her cover of The Village People’s beloved disco-era classic “Y.M.C.A.” Everyone is familiar with that song and has likely heard it thousands of times, but I’m guessing you’ve never heard that song played this way. She turned in a violin instrumental cover of the song.

Her version is so different and distinct from the original. Who would have ever thought of playing “Y.M.C.A.” on a violin? Not only that, but who would have thought that it would have sounded that good? This is one version of that tune that you’ll likely return to again and 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.”

Busker's jaw-dropping rendition of “Stand By Me” is uniquely beautiful. It’s almost not the same song when he sings it. Play the video to give it a listen.

The busker, whose name is Allen Rotta, completely puts his own spin on the Ben E. King classic. His voice is wonderfully raspy. It contrasts cleverly with his gentle acoustic guitar playing. Some of the lyrics to “Stand By Me” are:

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Even if you have heard “Stand By Me” a thousand times, I think you will find that you’re hearing it anew through Allen’s interpretation of the song. As he sits on the busy Dublin square, many people hover to watch him, giving him claps of appreciation when he finishes, which is all too soon. It’s a natural response after you witness someone do something amazing.

Allen’s guitar playing serves as the foundation for the song, but it is really his voice that will blow you away. It sounds wisened and weathered. It has rare qualities that you just don’t hear every day, and he seems very sincere in his performance.

Allen doesn’t try to impress; he just leans into his natural style and offers an honest connection to the song. Those who stick around to hear him know that they’re being treated to something really special. 

An artist with actual talent has the power to make you feel something with their voice, and this one does. Allen is sure to have left a lasting impression on anyone who heard him that day, and anyone who watches this video, of course.
 

You’ll love this a cappella take on Rascal Flats’ ‘Bless the Broken Road.’ There are some songs that don’t just play in the background of your life — they walk beside you through it. This song is one of those songs for me. It came out in 2004, back when I was in college and in love and married to my best friend, and it felt like someone had finally put words to the strange, winding kindness of God’s timing. 

I couldn’t get enough of it. I played it on repeat. I sang it in the car. I let it hold all the gratitude I didn’t yet know how to name — the gratitude for the heartbreaks that didn’t work out, the detours I didn’t choose, the roads I never would’ve walked if I had been in charge.

Even when it became a wedding staple, when it showed up again and again at ceremonies and receptions and highlight reels, I still loved it. It still felt tender. But over time, something shifted. 

New artists kept covering it, each one trying to add something new, a new spin, a new sound layered on top of what was already complete. Slowly, the song I once loved began to feel a little tired and just worn thin by repetition.

So when I clicked on ‘Bless the Broken Road | BYU Vocal Point,’ I’ll admit my expectations were low. I assumed it would be a slightly different version of a song I already knew by heart. But what I heard and what I saw stopped me. 

Their a cappella version doesn’t feel like a remake. It feels like a return to the original. Their voices rise where instruments usually sit, harmony carrying what production once did. The song breathes again.

And then there’s the scenery. They move through open landscapes and soft light, through fields and quiet roads and golden air — the kind of places where you can hear your own heart again, the kind of places that feel like prayer without words. And as the song unfolds, you watch them find their way toward one another, toward home, toward love, until finally they fall into the arms of their loved ones at sunset.

It reminded me why I loved this song in the first place. Not because it was popular. Not because it was played everywhere. This version doesn’t compete with the past. It blesses it. 

And somehow, in their voices and in that golden light, the song becomes new again — not because it changed, but because we finally slowed down enough to hear it the way it was always meant to be heard. 

You’ll have to listen for yourself. But I think you’ll fall in love with it too — not for the novelty, not for the production, but for the way it quietly reminds you that every winding, aching, ordinary road has been carrying you somewhere sacred all along.

“We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.”  Romans 8:28

Check out this incredible band's wonderful rendition of ‘Wichita Lineman’ by Glen Campbell. The band in the video is called September In The Park. They do an outstanding job with this cover, and their music is sure to make you smile!

‘I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line’

What a talented band! And the lead singer, Peter Kacer, does a great job on vocals and the acoustic guitar.

The group September In The Park is known as the ultimate Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago Tribute band. And they have started to share covers online of some of the greatest songs ever recorded. Many people online have shared about how much they enjoy this group’s music.

“Killer rendition of an all-time great song! Glen Campbell would’ve been proud!” one person comments.

“One of the most beautiful songs ever written…performed flawlessly. Bravo!” another person writes.

The background of the song ‘Wichita Lineman’ was written in 1968 by Jimmy Webb. He got the idea for the song while driving on a road in Oklahoma and spotted a lineman working. Jimmy imagined that the lineman lived in Kansas, near the city of Wichita. He called the song “Wichita Lineman,” and it became a big hit for Glen Campbell.

Later, Jimmy Webb said, “This song is not just about a lineman. It is about anyone who can think about other things while they work—a truck driver, for example, or a farmworker. It is a song about an ordinary person who has extraordinary thoughts.”

What a great song that has become a classic over the years. We hope that you enjoyed listening to this excellent rendition of ‘Wichita Lineman’ from September In The Park today!

This mesmerizing cover of Huey Lewis & The News’ ‘The Heart of Rock and Roll’ absolutely wows. If you’re a fan of the song, then you will definitely be bowled over by this cover. Play the video to hear the fun beat. 

The Guys Downstairs absolutely embrace “The heart of Rock and Roll” and its meaning. It’s like they’re living in the song for a moment. 

And the lead singer’s vocals are an excellent match for Huey Lewis’. The five-man band absolutely kills it, and the saxophone solos are astounding. 

They've got the piano going, the sax, bass, drums, electric guitar, and of course, stellar vocals. You can tell they’re having just an absolute blast as they bang away at their instruments. Some of the lyrics they sing are:

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll is still beating

True to their name, the video takes place in a simple and casual cluttered garage setup… but it turns out that the most magical of sounds can be created in the most ordinary of places. 

This isn’t a song you hear every day, and it reminds you what a wonderful song it is. It’s got great, clever lyrics, and for rock and roll lovers, it makes you feel like you’re part of a movement when you listen to it. 

It’s one of those rare songs that really makes you feel alive. It makes you just want to grab someone’s hand and dance. And if you grew up in the 80s, all you’ve got to do is close your eyes, and you’ll be transported back in time. 

If there’s a playlist out there called “The Joy of Music,” I’d want this song to be in it. It perfectly represents how fun and exciting music can be.

This busker nails a rendition of CCR’s “Fortunate Son,” and you are going to want to hear it. It’s incredible to see such a young soul with so much talent. Watch the video to see the busker perform. 

Dublin resident Rhys McPhillips is an absolutely incredible guitar player. He hits every chord of the song perfectly—and it’s no easy song to play. You can tell the teen has a hardcore love for Creedence Clearwater Revival. 

The 16-year-old musician has a natural warmth as he talks to the crowd and draws them in not just with his music but with his personality. 

“John Fogerty is one of the best songwriters of the 20th century,” he says before he launches into “Fortunate Son.”

Some of the lyrics Rhys sings are: 

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"

Rhys is full of enthusiasm for the song. And his presence carries through the whole street. Some people pause to listen, but it’s remarkable to see anyone walking by without paying him attention, because his skills are beyond remarkable. If CCR’s John Fogerty could hear Rhys, I’m sure he’d be proud. 

Rhys pours raw emotion and passion into every note. His voice harnesses a rebellious tone that matches the CCR original well. The performance doesn’t feel rehearsed—it feels like you’re witnessing raw skill. There's electricity there that you can almost touch.

And it isn’t just a song being performed. It’s a story that’s unfolding, and Rhys knows that. You can tell that he chooses his songs not just for their sound but for their message. 

One thing is for sure. This young man has a bright future ahead of him as an artist!

The Jackson 5 classic “I’ll Be There” got a show-stopping rendition on Netflix’s Star Search. The young man showed off his incredible musical talent with a jaw-dropping performance of the song that everyone knows and loves. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to see what the little guy did with the Jackson 5 tune.

Shows like American Idol, The Voice and America’s Got Talent have been on for quite some time, in some cases, even decades. Despite their long run on television, those shows continue to remain popular. If they weren’t pulling in sizable audiences regularly, they would have been pulled off the air a long time ago.

There’s another rather significant indication that those programs are still watched by many. Netflix now has its own version of American Idol and America’s Got Talent. If it works for one network, why not try it on the others, right?

The popular streaming platform has gotten into the mix and has brought back Star Search, which is incredibly similar to those aforementioned programs. And as one clip posted on YouTube shows, the new Star Search show is not short on talent.

In the video, a young man, Eric Adrien Williams, takes the stage and delivers a powerful, jaw-dropping performance of “I’ll Be There,” a song originally made famous by the Jackson 5. While he is still a little guy and obviously does not have much experience on stage performing, that does not show at all in his performance. He sounds and acts like someone who has been taking stages and singing to crowds for decades. He sounds spectacular and is incredibly confident in his abilities.

The show’s judges obviously love the little guy’s performance. The camera catches big smiles on the faces of Jelly Roll, Chrissy Teigen and Sarah Michelle Gellar. How could you not enjoy this little guy’s rendition of “I’ll Be There?”

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

A teen stunned with a powerful cover of Mariah Carey’s “Hero.” The young woman put her remarkable vocal talents on full display during this jaw-dropping performance of the beloved tune. Watch the short but awe-inspiring clip to listen to the teenager’s rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Hero.”

Covers are here to stay, and they do not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. American Idol, The Voice, America’s Got Talent, YouTube and several other popular social media platforms have pretty much assured that they are here for the long haul. Everyone enjoys a good cover now and then. Who doesn’t want to hear someone else’s interpretation of a classic song, granted that they don’t completely butcher the tune?

Nearly every semi-popular song has been covered at one time or another. Do several quick searches on YouTube, and you’ll find that my statement is totally accurate. While that may be the case, some songs are considerably more difficult to sing than others. For instance, anything performed by Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Adele and Whitney Houston will always be a tall task.

Additionally, singing any Mariah Carey song will be challenging. She could hit notes that most people can only dream of doing. In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman, Karolina Potsenko, takes a shot and performs “Hero.” While this is a tough song to perform, she does it flawlessly, making it look effortless as she belts out those familiar lyrics for all to hear.

Not many people would have even attempted to sing a Mariah Carey song in public. Her songs are so widely known and beloved that most people would immediately recognize any mistake or slip-up. Also, they will judge the cover performance against the original, since “Hero” was such a massive hit for Mariah in the ‘90s.

Despite all of that, Karolina does a fantastic job, making this a fabulous rendition, and one that you’ll likely find yourself returning to again and again.

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

Check out this family band’s jaw-dropping cover of the classic song ‘Jump’ by Van Halen. The talented musicians in the video are part of a family band called Missioned Souls. Let their rendition of this great song get you up and dancing around with a big smile on your face!

‘I get up and nothing gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real’

What a beautiful and talented family! The members of the family band include husband and wife, Secan and Sheena, and their four children: Naces, who is 15 years old and plays the keyboard; Neisha, who is 13 years old and play lead guitar; Stacey, who is 11 years old and sings/play rhythm guitar; and Isaiah, who is 10 years old and plays drums.

This family band has a beautiful mission, as stated on their YouTube page. “We are a family commissioned to propagate the importance of family unity by showing love and respect to each family member and for one another. We put into action our God-given gifts to bring joy and fun into other people’s lives through music,” their bio reads. “Missioned Souls was born out of our earnest desire to give thanks for the simple musical talent we receive from above, thus, giving glory to the Holy Trinity.”

As for the song ‘Jump’ by Van Halen, it was released in December 1983 as the lead single from their sixth studio album, 1984. It is Van Halen's most successful single, reaching number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2021, Rolling Stone ranked ‘Jump’ at number 177 on its updated list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

We hope you enjoyed listening to this extraordinary rendition of ‘Jump’ today!

Check out this charming cover of Glen Campbell’s song ‘Gentle on My Mind’ from the group Cotton Pickin Kids. The singers in the group are all siblings, and the way their voices blend together sounds absolutely heavenly. Their rendition of this lovely song is sure to leave you smiling!

‘It's knowin' that your door is always open and your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line’

What a wonderful rendition of ‘Gentle on My Mind’ by this talented family! Many people online shared their praise for the group and their music.

“Glenn Campbell is smiling from up above,” comments one person after watching the music video. “Y'all always do such a good job on your covers and especially your original work.”

“Love this song! It made Glen Campbell a huge star! I never heard of these kids before but they did a superb job!” writes another person online.

The Cotton Pickin Kids grew up in Alabama singing and playing bluegrass music in their family of 13. “As the saying goes, ‘Bluegrass is the best music because it sounds the same when the power goes out.’ Each child was taught at a young age to play various instruments, whether it be the guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, or harmonica. They would often play for family and social gatherings,” reads their bio on their YouTube page. What a wonderful way to enjoy using their talents – as a family!

As for Glen Campbell’s ‘Gentle on My Mind,’ his recording peaked in the top 30 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart. And in 1968, the song earned four Grammy Awards.
 
We hope that you enjoyed this beautiful version of ‘Gentle on My Mind’ from the Cotton Pickin Kids today!

Listen to this stunning cover of Carly Simon’s classic song ‘You’re So Vain.’ The group performing in the video is IMY2, an independent rock band formed in 2019. The talented group is currently based in Nashville, TN, and the members include Annalise Mahanes, Cal Tucker, and Michael Monahan.

‘You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye, your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner, they'd be your partner’

What an excellent rendition of ‘You’re So Vain’ from this talented group! IMY2 is well-known for their YouTube channel, where they share both original music and high-quality covers of classic rock and pop songs. Lead vocalist Annalise Mahanes sounds incredible, and Cal Tucker and Michael Monahan are very impressive on their instruments.

Many people online shared their love for Carly Simon and their high praise for the group IMY2 and its music.

“One of my favorite songs from Carly. She’d be proud of this,” writes one person after watching the music video.

“I remember when this song came out in '72. I loved it then and I love the IMY2 version now,” comments another person online.

The song ‘You’re So Vain’ was released by Carly Simon as a single in November 1972. The lyrics describe a self-absorbed lover, whose identity has long been a matter of speculation. In early 1973, the song reached No. 1 in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. And at the 16th Annual Grammy Awards in 1974, ‘You’re So Vain’ was nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to IMY2’s version of ‘You’re So Vain’ today!

If you enjoy musicals and are a fan of the classics, then you’ll love this charming rendition of ‘Singin’ in the Rain!’

This video will have you dancing and singing as the incredible vocalist showcases her skills on camera. You see a cozy and dimly lit room with a fireplace, and the Young Original Band gathered together. The leader of the band counts them down. The group of four all immediately comes in strong. 

The voice of this young woman is unique and beautiful; you will want to continue to listen to what she is able to sing. There is such depth and dynamics in the piano. He will wow you! The guitarist and the cellist are clearly having a good time and are also gifted.

After the singer finishes the chorus, the piano takes it up a notch on the instrumental, and there is a highlighted cello solo. Finally, the lead vocalist returns, but this time the other bandmates add some unexpected harmonies. It is fabulous what these young people have accomplished. They are talented way beyond their years.

The chorus says:

I'm singing in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again 

“Singin’ In the Rain” is a feel good song. Everyone who hears this song cannot help but perk up! Take a moment to listen to this jazzy and modern rendition of this timeless classic from a favorite musical. You will not regret it. Young Original Band is absolutely living up to their name in this video.

The Bible teaches us to have joy in our hearts through the work of the Holy Spirit. As you listen to this music, ponder the blessing of Jesus and how He can make the rainiest days sunny in our hearts.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

You’ll want to watch this as the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band blends ‘Turn the Beat Around’ with ‘Rock the Casbah.’ There was a time when music wasn’t something we fit into the margins of our lives — it was our life.

It was the soundtrack of car rides with the windows down, of bedrooms with posters on the walls, of late nights with friends where nobody checked the clock because nobody had anywhere they had to be in the morning. Music was loud and unapologetic and woven into who we were becoming.

We didn’t listen to songs back then. We lived inside them. We knew every word. Every drum beat. Every dramatic pause before the chorus dropped. We sang like nobody was listening because nobody important was.

And then… well. We grew up.

We got jobs and kids and meetings and laundry and back pain and grocery lists and calendars that beep when it’s time to switch the laundry over. Somewhere between paying bills and refilling prescriptions, we forgot what it felt like to just be a person with a favorite song again.

Not a mom. Not a dad. Not a manager or a chauffeur or a responsible adult. Just a person who really, really loved that one song. Which is why the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band feels like such a gift.

If you haven’t heard of them yet, their name alone already makes you smile. The Middle Aged Dad Jam Band — or MADJB for short — is exactly what it sounds like: a group of middle-aged guys who decided that growing older doesn’t mean growing quieter.

The band was started by Ken Marino and David Wain, along with a revolving cast of friends and guest musicians, and their entire mission is joy. They mash up iconic songs, blend genres that have no business being together, and sprinkle comedy between the music like confetti.

They’ll take “Turn the Beat Around” and slide it right into “Rock the Casbah,” and somehow it works in a living-room-dance-party way. In a “this feels ridiculous and wonderful and I love it” kind of way.

It’s part concert, part comedy show, part midlife permission slip. Permission to sing again. Permission to be goofy again. Permission to love the music you love without explaining it to anyone.

Maybe that’s the gift of the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band — not just the music, but the reminder. That joy still fits inside grown-up lives. That it’s okay to laugh loudly, sing badly, and love what you love. And that the best soundtrack might not be behind us after all.

“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.”  Psalm 96:1

Listen to this stunning new cover of REO Speedwagon’s song ‘Keep on Loving You.’ The group performing in the video is called IMY2, and they are an independent rock band who formed in 2019. The talented group is currently based in Nashville, TN, and the members include Annalise Mahanes, Cal Tucker, and Michael Monahan.

‘You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was something missing
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen’

This classic song from REO Speedwagon was #1 for one week in March 1981 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It led to the group being one of the first rock bands to score big with power ballads in the 1980s.

The song ‘Keep on Loving You’ was a response to when lead singer Kevin Cronin found out that his wife had been unfaithful to him before they were married. He decided to continue loving her and fulfill the promise they had made to each other. It ultimately did not work out, as he and his wife split up a few years after the song was released.

"That song is a yin-yang thing, where there is obviously trouble in paradise in the verses, but I always believed that people are capable of changing, and that if your life runs into a tough spot, it doesn't mean that you necessarily have to run from it,” shared Kevin Cronin in an interview about the song. “You can also look it in the eye, and if there is enough worthwhile in the relationship to keep it going, then you give it all you've got, and that's what I did. Even in giving it all I got, at some point, we realized that it just wasn't going to work. So when I wrote that line, I meant it. I tried my best, but it just didn't happen."

The band IMY2 did an outstanding job with their rendition of ‘Keep on Loving You,’ and we hope you enjoyed listening to it today!

Prepare for some good and soulful country worship with this gospel throwback. Check out Stephen McWhirter’s powerful ‘Amazing Grace’ rendition. It will move you!

If you do not know his name, you will never forget it after watching this video! From the moment that Stephen begins to sing at the leave, you will hear the rasp and style in his incredible voice. Every note that he sings will lead you to wanting more. 

He sings each line with such conviction and passion. It is an incredible rendition of this classic hymn. He has a similar style to Ray Charles or David Crowder. 

Stephen sings from the depths of his soul, and his worship leading will lead you into praising God with all of your heart. You will appreciate his fresh take on this hymn and the authenticity behind his recording. He has a country/soul style that is wonderfully entertaining. 

The chorus says:

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

This song is truly an anthem for believers in Jesus who know that He has forgiven all of us by His own sacrifice on the cross. As Stephen concludes the song, you will feel motivated and blessed by this heartfelt and moving moment of worship. 

Stephen is incredibly gifted and reminds us that no matter what broken road we have traveled, Jesus can redeem us from anything. You will be blessed by taking a moment and watching this clip!

“Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known." John 1:16-18

You absolutely have to hear his show-stopping rendition of The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back”. It’s absolutely stunning to see this kid’s skills. Play the video to give it a listen!

The 13-year-old, Fabienne Bergmans, begins her 2-minute performance in a calm and composed manner. She wears a hippie headband—a nod to the 1969 hit. As she opens her mouth to sing, it’s clear right away that she’s got the perfect voice for a Jackson 5 cover.

It’s youthful and has that familiar swing. All of the judges turn their chairs toward the end of the song. She has two of the judges up on the stage next to her, dancing and jiving to the beat, while the other judge watches in awe and amazement. 

She is very small, but there is a great deal of talent coming out of her. You can’t help but be in awe as you listen. Some of the lyrics to “I Want You Back” are: 

Oh, baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now, since I see you in his arms (I want you back)

Young Fabienne demonstrates remarkable control of her voice. She sings with confidence beyond her years. She has impeccable vocal runs and excellent timing, and you can tell that she’s putting all of her focus into her performance. 

Her song has a near-magical effect. Because with every passing moment, the judges and crowds become increasingly enthusiastic and energized. It’s a bright, unforgettable performance that’s remarkable and refreshing. 

You can’t help but feel good after you listen to this. And you’ll want to keep hitting that repeat button… I know I do!

Get ready for an incredible rendition of a classic hit song. CeCe Winans’ ‘Lean on Me’ cover lyric video.

At the start of this lyric video, you hear the introduction with great anticipation. CeCe Winans brings her joy, style, and energy to “Lean on Me.” Watch this beautifully created video as the lyrics of this powerful song are creatively displayed. 

You will see the first chorus as the words are painted down the screen. As they fall downward, you get a visual image of the concept of leaning on others to help in times of need. 

As you read these words, feel free to sing-along, dance, and ponder who in your life you need to call on today to stand by your side in prayer to God. The Lord is always there. We are invited to lean on Him as our Good Shepherd. 

In addition to His constant presence, we are also blessed with the body of Christ, the church. Community is one of the greatest gifts in the Christian faith. CeCe brings in this important message with this cover song. 

We can bear one another's burdens. This life is not easy, and we can all get down by the weight of sin and its effects in the world. However, we have victory in Christ, and even when we get down for a moment, CeCe reminds us how the Holy Spirit and other believers in Jesus can hold us up and help us out of the deepest pits.

The chorus says:

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long' Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

How will you lean on God and community today, and how are you inviting others to lean on you?

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Although many Beatles medley mash-ups have been created over the years, have you ever heard one that’s a cappella? This Beatles a cappella medley is an absolute must-hear. It’s guaranteed to entertain your ears.

The song arrangement of this medley is wonderful. It tells a story, rather than just combining like-sounding songs. The effect is stunning. The songs included parts from classics such as “All My Loving,” “Help,” “Hello, Goodbye,” and “Here Comes the Sun.” 

It’s just the right mix of songs for a segment that’s less than five minutes. The songs transition so smoothly—and they aren’t rushed at all. 

Their arrangement sounds fresh and youthful, but it still has that familiar Beatles flavor that everyone loves. You can tell that these guys are pals, which makes the performance even more pleasing. They lean into one another’s parts and support each other’s harmonies with not just their voices but also a pat on the back or shoulder. 

It’s wonderful to see the variety of voices that this group of young men exhibits. Some voices are almost impossibly deep, while others are light and airy. The harmonies are so tight, and you can tell that these boys have put in many hours of practice together. 

It’s not easy to find this kind of balance and chemistry in a large group, but these guys have really done it. Without a single instrument, the singers rely solely on their voices to carry the setting, and they demonstrate considerable control as they express themselves. 

Every singer has something unique to offer, and it's a gift to hear each person introduce their voice in the medley. They sound smooth, polished, and ever so lively. 

This performance is more than just a mashup of old songs; it celebrates the Beatles, and it tells a story through its arrangement. It’s truly an art form.

Get your groove on with this throwback hit! Take a minute and dance-along like a teenager again. A busker nails the Beatles’ classic ‘Twist and Shout’.

The video begins during Christmastime, and a young woman with a ball cap on stands and plays her guitar confidently as a crowd shops behind her. She steps up to the microphone and starts singing the chorus. 

A young man behind her begins to dance, and shoppers smile. This young woman singing is named Zoe Clarke, and she is a talented artist. You will notice throughout this song that she has captivated the crowd with her vocal runs, energy, and style. 

The chorus says:

Well, shake it up, baby, now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now 
Come on and work it on out

At the end of her performance, Zoe is happy and hits the high notes just like the original. It appears to be a really fun time. You will feel as if you are in this winter shopping wonderland as you view the clip. 

No matter when the last time was that you danced, this artist will have you up and moving around in a minute. She has flair and captivates the crowd, even in the midst of the colder weather.

It is always refreshing to experience new talent. This precious young person gives us hope that God is faithful to provide gifts and abilities to people in every generation. It inspires and encourages us to utilize our gifts and get involved in our local communities, bringing a blessing to others. 

How are you skilled? How might God be leading you into serving your local town?

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