Boy Has Crowd Rolling at Christmas Concert

A quaint church was brimming with holiday cheer as an eager congregation awaited a special performance. Enter four young boys ready to deliver a Christmas song.

But here's the twist - the makeshift quartet had a comedic ace hidden up its sleeve. The air was thick with anticipation, setting the stage for a performance that promised to be anything but typical.

In the world of gospel quartets, harmony is king.

Each singer plays a pivotal role - from the high-reaching tenor to the melody-driving lead, the rich-toned baritone, and the deep, resonant bass. As our young quartet takes the stage, their excitement is palpable, barely containing their giggles.

They've meticulously rehearsed a holiday classic, but their rendition is set to be uniquely memorable.

The performance begins with the boys lip-syncing in perfect harmony, swaying to the rhythm of a well-loved Christmas melody. The audience nods along, enjoying the familiar tune. But the moment the boy in the vest steps forward, the room erupts in laughter.

His mouth opens, and out comes a deep, booming bass voice, so startlingly mature it's hard to believe it's coming from him. The contrast is both hilarious and charming.

This isn't just any bass voice. It's the iconic timbre of J.D. Sumner, a legend who once inspired Elvis Presley.

The young performer, with his exaggerated gestures and spot-on lip-syncing, brings the house down.

His performance became an internet sensation, drawing over 10 million views, and the video became an instant classic.

Grandson Won't Let Grandma Be Put In Home

Meet Chris, a musician and aspiring YouTube star, whose life took an unexpected turn when he found his true calling right at home.

Originally from Tarlac, Philippines, Chris and his family, including his beloved grandmother Lola, moved to the United States, bringing a piece of their heritage with them. Little did Chris know, his grandmother would soon become the heart of his online content, charming viewers with their conversations in their native Kapampangan dialect.

In 2015, when Lola turned 88, Chris faced a pivotal decision.

The options were stark: hire a caregiver or send Lola to a home for the aged. But for Chris, the choice was clear.

He couldn't bear the thought of his grandmother in the hands of strangers or an unfamiliar place. So, he stepped up, choosing to become her full-time caretaker, a role he embraced with love and dedication.

Their daily life, captured in vlogs since 2019, showcases everything from the tender routine of preparing Lola's bed to the challenges of bath time and dealing with forgetfulness.

These vlogs are windows into a world of compassion. They show the realities and emotional rewards of caring for an aging loved one.

Despite the hardships, Chris's commitment never wavers.

Chris shared their story on TikTok and YouTube as a powerful reminder of familial love and the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones.

🗿 ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…

Did you know on this day in history in 1963, a dramatically startling event unfolded involving the son of a legendary entertainer?

Frank Sinatra, Jr., the 19-year-old son of the iconic singer Frank Sinatra, was kidnapped from Harrah's Lake Tahoe, a hotel in Nevada. This shocking incident gripped the nation and added a dark chapter to the Sinatra family's history.

The kidnapping was orchestrated by Barry Keenan, a former high school classmate of Nancy Sinatra, along with his accomplices Joe Amsler and John Irwin. The trio seized Sinatra, Jr. from his hotel room and demanded a hefty ransom. What made the situation even more nerve-wracking was Frank Sinatra, Sr.'s fear for his son's life.

In a desperate move to ensure his son's safety, Sinatra gathered a ransom of $240,000, which was swiftly paid to the kidnappers. The story, however, took a turn when the kidnappers were apprehended just days after the ransom exchange.
