Back in 2007, a seven year old girl with missing front teeth took the UK’s Britain’s Got Talent by storm with her version of the Judy Garland classic, ‘Over The Rainbow’. That young girl’s name was Connie Talbot, and the nation took her to their hearts. Connie went on to win her semi-final with a cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Ben’, and narrowly missed out on winning the whole show, coming second to an opera singer from Wales. Connie went on to enjoy fame all around the world, releasing best-selling albums, travelling the globe, making many television and radio appearances, appearing…

Unfortunately, his mother thought that being gay ‘goes against nature’ and couldn’t bring herself to let him stay in her home. Chad had no choice but to leave. He went to stay with his grandpa. When Chad’s grandpa heard the reason why his daughter Christine had disowned his beloved grandson, he was so angry about it that he decided two could play at that…

The modern phenomenon of ‘body-shaming’ has arisen as a consequence of the open nature of the internet and the popularity of sites such as YouTube and social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter. The practice is particularly prevalent when it comes to heavier individuals, many of whom have come into criticism on the internet from those who dislike their size, their attitude to their size, and how they present themselves to the world. This manifests itself most often in negative comments towards larger people posting about their eating habits and what they’re wearing, in particular when heavier women post…

In this heartwarming video we meet a dog called Himalaya and a young boy called Hernan. Hernan has Down Syndrome, a genetic condition that many people struggle to understand even to this day. Himalaya doesn’t care about Hernan’s condition because he’s a dog. Dogs don’t judge people like humans do. All dogs want to do is please people and have fun with them. In the video, Hernan isn’t in the mood for play, but that doesn’t stop Himalaya from trying! Himalaya’s a Labrador, a notoriously friendly breed of dog that loves the company of people – children in particular. As…

Aw, now this is almost too cute! In this adorable and hilarious video that’s currently taking the internet by storm, a young girl and her heavily-pregnant mom take part in a dance off together. We soon discover that the girl, who goes by the name of Jaylyn, is quite the accomplished dancer, as both mom and daughter record themselves dancing to Silento’s ‘Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)’. Of course, because Jaylyn is just so adorable, mom can’t help but stop from time to time to admire her daughter’s skills. This sure is one way to break the internet! We loved it…

It’s the dream of most parents – that our kids will grow up and one day come home and tell us we’re going to be grandparents. It’s a very special moment in our lives, and a joyous moment many of us have yet to experience. For the couple in this video, that special day is today. They walk into a room and see that the wall holds some not-so-subtle clues that their beloved daughter has arrived home with the best news in the world. Mom is overjoyed. Dad? Well he just takes it in his stride. He’s the man of…

When his mom calls this eight year old birthday boy up to his room, he doesn’t know why. Imagine his surprise when his mom is very, very angry with him. What on earth has he done? Why is she so annoyed with him? It’s his birthday, after all! But then his mom thrusts a package in his hands and accuses him of ordering things off the TV with her credit card without her permission. The birthday boy denies it, but mom isn’t listening because there’s his name right there on the address label. Oh dear. Looks like he’s been caught…

This is Bence Peter from Boston, Massachusetts. As well as being a talented pianist, composer and music producer, he happens to be the current holder of the title of ‘World’s Fastest Piano Player’ in the Guinness Book of Records. And in this extraordinary video, he more than lives up to that title! In the video he’s arranged Michael Jackson’s iconic 1987 smash hit single ‘Bad’ for piano. There are a lot of talented piano players out there, but this is in a whole other league. Throwing in a bit of Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’ for good measure – because, hey, why…
