Talented contemporary dance group Abba Modern perform a stunning routine to Lauren Daigle’s smash hit ‘You Say.’
In 2018, Lauren Daigle took the music scene by storm when this powerful single. The inspirational track has since reached a multitude of ears in both the Christian and secular music scene.
‘You Say’ climbed to the top of the Christian billboard charts and other songs of her album ‘Look Up Child’ have also seen great success. This particular song is a reminder of how God never stops believing in us.
“You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
Oh, I believe”
Today, the Christ-centered dance group, Abba Modern, are sharing their artistic interpretation of this special song. Just watch as they beautifully glide across the floor in perfect harmony with the touching lyrics.
This contemporary dance crew is also sure to give all the glory to God. Abba Modern said, “We dance believing that our identity doesn’t come from the world, it doesn’t come from who others say we are, or who we ourselves say we are, our identity comes from our God. And if our identity comes from a God who is all powerful and unshakable, then our identity is also unshakable.”
What an incredible way to show the love and grace from our Father in Heaven.
The Ndlovu Youth Choir bring their unique sound to the America’s Got Talent stage with an emotional audition.
Started in 2009, the choir is a creative outlet for kids in South Africa. Led by artistic director Ralf Schmitt, this talented group has gained a following all over the world.
On their Facebook, it states that “the choir seeks to deliver an experience of infectious joy, a toe-tapping and energetic South African music ranging from Afro-Pop classics to traditional South African music and original compositions irresistibly combined with mesmerizing choreography.”
With their special style of sound, this choir is providing hope to it’s member. Director Ralf said, “When they join us, many of our kids have the weight of the world on their shoulders and, to them, their problems feel insurmountable.”
Now, the group has traveled all the way to the United States for their chance at stardom. “For us, it’s not easy to dream, so I didn’t like to smile. But after joining the choir, I found my voice and it brought back the smile on my face.”
The choir easily impressed the judges with their energetic performance of an original song, ‘My African Dream.’ The blend of vocal talent with dance truly makes this an audition to remember. But it was the symbolism of the moment that brought Ralf to tears.
“They come from one of the poorest communities in the world, yet these kids managed to lift themselves up. To see them standing on the stage of America’s Got Talent tonight, you can’t help but just burst with pride.” The Ndlovu Youth Choir is definitely an act to keep your eye on.
27-year-old Lamont Landers takes advantage of a second chance to wow the judges on America’s Got Talent.
This Huntsville, Alabama native grew up with a love of music. He was in second grade when he received his first guitar. But after his parent’s divorce, the break up took a toll. He looked to music for a source of comfort. “Having the guitar as an outlet was the perfect thing for me.”
For years, Lamont has been working full-time as a musician but he’s ready to take his career to the next level. Now, he’s stepping onto the America’s Got Talent stage for his big shot.
He came out confident and started to sing "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green. Shortly into the song, Simon stopped the young singer. Lamont prepared Marvin Gaye's ‘What's Going On’ as a backup song but Simon also called that tune too safe. “Your problem is that you do not take risks.”
That’s when judge Simon Cowell offered Lamont the chance to learn a completely new song and come back to audition later. After a few tense moments between the two, Lamont decided to take Simon up on his advice.
In under thirty minutes, the young singer learned a brand new song in hopes of impressing the judges. Full of nerves, Lamont performed a cover of Robyn's ‘Dancing On My Own.’
He earned a standing ovation from the judges as his smooth vocals truly shined through. Simon commented on the encore performance, “Sometimes, someone gives you a little bit of advice and it opens the door. I think the doors just opened here for you.”
I’m excited to see what this new path looks like for Lamont on America’s Got Talent.

10-year-old Emanne Beasha brings the crowd to their feet with her performance of the opera classic ‘Nessun Dorma.’
This famous song is featured in the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot. Over the years, it has become a notable opera staple spurning covers from countless artists. But it wasn’t until Luciano Pavarotti's 1972 recording of the song that it became a pop culture phenomenon.
‘Nessun Dorma’ also became a common tune used during sports events such as European football and soccer. Translated to English, the lyrics go like this:
“None shall sleep! None shall sleep!
Not even you, oh Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watching the stars
that tremble with love and with hope!”
With an arrangement full of high notes and tricky keys, ‘Nessun Dorma’ is not an easy song to perform. And today, young Emanne Beasha is lending her vocals to the famous tune.
This Florida native was full of nerves as she stepped onto the America’s Got Talent stage to audition. But her positive personality was shining through and you could tell that this was going to be a performance to remember.
From the very moment that she started to sing, Emanne hit every single note flawlessly. I cannot believe that this bold opera voice can come out of a girl like this. With a voice well beyond her ten years, it’s safe to say that Emanne has a bright future ahead of her.
What did you think of Emanne and her performance of ‘Nessun Dorma?’
One man was able to record an incredible group of elephants rushing to protect their babies from a wild dog attack out in the wilderness. What an amazing sight! And with elephants being the largest animals on land, I’m sure the wild dogs knew that they were no match against them.
In the video, we first see a group of wild dogs in front of the camera surrounded by tall grasses and shrubs. Then a herd of elephants come walking into the scene. There is at least a dozen of them, some being grown adults and some being little baby elephants.
The herd is very important to an elephant, because these creatures really value their family structure, perhaps more so than many other animals. They are capable of forming very special bonds with their friends and family members in their herd, and they are always looking out for each other. And when one feels threatened, they all come to help provide protection. Just like in this video!
You can tell that the momma instinct kicked in when the adult elephants saw the dogs. Because they felt threatened, some of them starting swinging and blowing their trunks to make loud noises to scare away the wild dogs.
Then the group started to clump together and make a protective circle around their babies. They wanted to make sure that the babies were safe and would do anything to keep it that way! Such good momma elephants.
The man in the video is watching this all unfold from a safe distance and comments on the interaction that just took place. “Even though wild dogs don’t actually really show any potential threat to the elephants…elephants just react really negatively to any predator,” he explains.
God bless these magnificent creatures and the beauty they bring to this world!
Lukas and his dog Falco stun the audience with their impressive ‘Footloose’ routine on America’s Got Talent.
As a kid, Lukas never dreamed he’d be working and training a dog. “When I was a child, I was afraid of dogs. They terrified me and I know never ever will I accept a dog into our family. When I was fourteen, my worst nightmare became a reality. My family told me that we would get a dog.”
His parents brought home Falco as a puppy and Lukas couldn’t resist this adorable little guy. “At first, I didn’t want to be his friend. But eventually, I just looked at his eyes and he was the first dog that won me over.”
From that point on, the duo were inseparable. Lukas and Falco trained every single day and learned all kinds of tricks and skills.
For the past nine years, these two have competed all over the world and now they are auditioning for America’s Got Talent. 22-year-old Lukas may be young, but he knows that the rigors of competing are growing tiresome for Falco as he ages.
After AGT, Falco will be retiring. But Lukas is determined to go out with a bang. Just watch as this duo performs an intricate agility routine set to the tune of ‘Footloose.’
At the beginning, Falco even dons a cowboy hat. After the performance, all of the judges were in awe of the talent and skill displayed. Simon Cowell is open about his love for dogs and their trainers.
He said, “He has amazing personality, but also importantly, so do you.” Howie Mandel described the routine as “Boot-scootin’-doggie.” The pair easily earned four ‘yes’ votes and they will continue on in the competition.
After winning an agility competition, this quick and energetic border collie has a sweet embrace with her handler while celebrating her victory!
The border collie’s name is P!nk, spelled like the famous singer. Her owner and handler’s name is Jennifer Crank from Pickerington, Ohio.
As the two prepare for the course, one of the announcers says, “P!nk wants to get the party started tonight!” A funny little nod at the title of one of P!nk’s famous songs. The pooch is clearly ready to go, and her loud barks show just how excited she is to take on the challenge ahead. When her owner gives her the signal, she bolts ahead racing into the agility course.
The border collie quickly jumps over the poles, races through the tunnels, and ultimately clears every obstacle that is placed in her way with great agility and speed. She finished the course with zero errors. What a phenomenal job by P!nk!
One of the commentators said it best: “That was just sheer beauty. Beautiful lines, Jennifer out in front and P!nk following…gorgeous!”
P!nk won the agility competition with a running time of 31.23 seconds. She’s a fast one! Since she was also the champion last year, this border collie is now the proud winner of back-to-back titles in the 16" class at the 2019 WKC Masters Agility.
After the competition, an interviewer complimented Jennifer on P!nk’s skills. ““She was flawless on those weave poles, just like water,” she said. “How do you teach that?”
“That’s one of her favorite obstacles,” Jennifer replied. “You build a lot of value for them. Use her favorite toys and her favorite treats. Make her absolutely love the game.”
The cutest sight to see was at the end of the course when P!nk jumped into Jennifer’s arms and they shared a sweet embrace. Such a perfect way to celebrate her win!
