WORLD OF DANCE 2018 ….. “🎼🎼 The Fabulous Sisters …. The Cut …. “Black and Gold” …. 🎼🎼”!!

~~September 3, 2018~~

FABULOUS SISTERS

~WORLD OF DANCE 2018~

The 2018 season is at ‘the cut’ portion.

This  group of young, talented ladies are simply out of this world.

They have gone through the qualifiers, the duels and now the cut.

I really wish them the best!

Enjoy the video.

“World of Dance” judge Jennifer Lopez and special guest Savion Glover mentored the Junior Team Division contestants during the Cut, and Lopez was a little worried that The Fabulous Sisters from Fukushima, Japan, didn’t have an entirely cohesive routine prepared. But she changed her tune when she saw their complete performance.

They were decked out in regal gold costumes and ruled ferociously from a throne. Imagine if Cersei Lannister from “Game of Thrones” blew up the Sept of Baelor with just the power of urban dance.

~Jennifer Lopez~

“You guys made me tired, and I don’t get tired. Your formations and pictures from our mentoring session went up so much, and I loved that we really made you the focal point of this and it didn’t get lost in the middle of it and it made it so strong. You know, it’s very interesting choreography. It’s so different than anybody else in the competition. Beautiful.”

~Derek Hough~

I thought it was really nice that Jennifer let you borrow her throne. Again, the way you dance the choreography is so amazing. The intensity, and then right when I thought, ‘Oh, this is a great routine,’ you all took a shot of espresso and just went into hyper mode. It was like ‘Whoa!’ The way you used your costume at the end: very simple, but very, very effective. It was one of those ‘ooh’ moments. It was so good.”

America’s Got Talent 2018 …. “💕🎼 Brian King Joseph …. SENSATIONAL Electric Violinist 🎼💕 …. “!!

~~August 9, 2018~~

BRIAN KING JOSEPH 

~Season 2018 of  America’s Got Talent has begun~

I’m amazed at this performer’s talent and his personal story.

He started playing the violin as a child. He showed incredible talent and continued down his musical path.

As life has it, as an adult, he has been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy.

His hands and feet are affected by this chronic condition.

He doesn’t know how long he will be able to continue playing the violin.

These performances have caught my heart!

He auditioned and was selected at the Judges Cut for the live shows. 

Hope you enjoy it!

If you haven’t heard of the Fabulous Sisters from Japan they are a crew of ladies who live up to their name and more.

This past weekend at the World of Dance Finals in Los Angeles, they delivered a memorable diverse performance which earned them a spot in the Winners Circle and a video bound to receive well earned popularity in no time. In 2016 they received 1st place in youth division at the World of Dance Japan Qualifier.

Their style is an intense fusion of multiple styles of not only hip hop but contemporary, waacking, tutting, voguing, jazz funk, and intricate arm and hand placements.

Darci Lynne Farmer …. “⭐️ Ventriloquist Act for ‘America’s Got Talent’s Golden Buzzer ⭐️ …. ‘Anything You Can Do’ Duet ⭐️ …. “!!

~~September 23, 2017~~ 

DARCI LYNNE AND TERRY FATOR 

“ANYTHING YOU CAN DO”

I have been following this young girl since she first appeared in the AGT’s auditions and Mel B pressed the Golden Buzzard.

This child is amazing.

She’s very talented in so many ways. She sings (with her mouth closed, she’s a ventriloquist) and her charisma fills the room.

Her performance throughout the season was cute, incredible, amazing and completely professional.

Take a look at her performance at the FINALS as we all waited for the results!

HortyRex©

Have you ever had the chance to meet your idol?

Well, America’s Got Talent contestant Darci Lynne Farmer did – and in a huge way!

In the video below, posted on September 20, 2017, Darci Lynne and her puppet, Petunia, joined a fellow ventriloquist named Terry Fator, who just happens to be her idol and a previous winner of America’s Got Talent from the 2007 season.

During the live finale results show, the two of them put on the ultimate ventriloquist act for millions of viewers to enjoy.

Petunia meets Terry’s turtle, Winston, and starts to get a little competitive. The diva bunny can’t help herself as she and Winston sing “Anything You Can Do” and fight for the spotlight.

Little do they know, they are even better together!

As they sing with each other, Petunia and Winston hit high notes, one after the other, proving that each ventriloquist has something special within them.

The song fits their act perfectly as Winston and Petunia take turns out-singing each other for the audience!

America’s Got Talent Season 12 … The Finale

We ALL are ONE!! 

‘First They Came’ …. “Martin Niemöller …. 🇺🇸 Adaptation for America’s Current Administration 🇺🇸 …. “!!

~~July 27, 2017~~ 

FIRST THEY CAME

This poem is timeless and immemorial. It is so ‘on point’ that is has been used frequently to describe current happenings.

A friend sent me this site and a link to this modern adaptation. It’s befitting to the current reality of the nation.

All credit given to site, author and poet.

HortyRex©

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.

Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:

FIRST THEY CAME

~Wikipedia~

“The famous poem by an anti-Nazi pastor, rewritten for Donald Trump’s America”

To see Donald Trump methodically lay into one group after another during the months of the presidential campaign has been to see Niemöller’s warning writ large across our screens.

But during all these months, I haven’t noticed much speaking out by one group in support of another.

It’s time for everyone to remember Niemöller’s words, and speak out in support of anyone who becomes the target of this hate-monger and his alt-right cohorts.

At the end of the day, Trump is coming for all of us.

Christian Guardino …. “Humble 16-Year-Old …. Howie Mandel Awarded Chris the Golden Buzzer … “!!

~~June 14, 2017~~ 

ANOTHER GOLDEN BUZZER 

~Christian Guardino~

I’ve been catching up with my recorded shows.

America’s Got Talent is the one currently on television. These ‘common folk’ are amazing.

There’s so much hidden talent. Bring it out!

Enjoy Chris’ performance.

HortyRex©

Christian Guardino shocked the judges with his powerful voice on America’s Got Talent and he earned the golden buzzer for his amazing audition!

The 16-year-old singer was blind for most of his life before a gene therapy was able to restore his vision.

Christian performed the classic song “Who’s Loving You” and brought the judges and the audience to their feet!

“You were like a little mouse that turned into a lion. You are one of my favorite contestants I’ve seen this year. Not only in terms of your voice. I just like you.

There’s something about you, and it’s just the best possible feeling when we meet someone like you,”

Simon Cowell told Christian.

Howie Mandel decided to use his golden buzzer and send Christian directly to the live shows!

PERFECT SCORE JIVE

I’ve been rooting for Simone since the show started.

She has blossomed in front of our eyes.

So glad for this dance, this performance and their perfect score!

We couldn’t take our eyes off of Simone Biles and Sasha Farber on Monday, May 15, Dancing with the Stars.

The duo danced a high-stepping Jive, set to “Faith” by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande, and worked with judge Carrie Ann Inaba for the performance.

Simone and Sasha earned 40 points, out of 40, from the judges.

During her video package, Simone opened up about the judges comments last week and how they did hurt her.

-SO-CALLED JUDGE-

‘NOTORIOUS R. B.G.’

The lack of respect for the judicial branch of the USA government is amazing.

Didn’t expect any different.

This is true to his ‘form’.

The judicial branch operates separate from the executive.

It stands on its own.

Guess, one more time, Drumpf has shown his utter ignorance!

HortyRex©

Feb 4, 2017 8:55 PM
Drumpf launched an early morning Twitter offensive against a federal judge Saturday, February 4, after U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle declared a nationwide stay on Mr. Drumpf’s travel ban.

The ‘so-called president‘ defended his immigration order, which prohibits refugees or any citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S., in the series of tweets.

He also swore that Robart’s temporary restraining order, which effectively freezes the executive order’s most controversial provisions, would be “overturned”.

(We will wait and see!)

“Jolene” …. Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus and Pentatonix …. The Voice 2016 …. “!!

~~December 1, 2016~~ 

MUSIC, THE VOICE OF THE SOUL

These are turbulent times. Feelings arise within you that have no description. You go from one end of the spectrum to the other within seconds.

Music is a balm.

Music is a refuge.

It’s soothing and calming.

It brings peace to a weary soul.

~Dolly Parton Joins Miley Cyrus, Pentatonix In ‘Jolene’ Cover~

On Tuesday night’s, Novermber 29, star-studded episode of “The Voice,” country music legend Dolly Parton joined Miley Cyrus and band Pentatonix on stage for an a-capella performance of Parton’s 1973 song “Jolene”.

Clad in black and silver, Parton took center stage as she stood next to goddaughter Cyrus on the arced stage. Both have previously performed the song together, most notably at the 25th anniversary of Dollywood in 2010.

Pentatonix released a recording of the song in September, with Parton herself featured on the record. The band also performed the song with singer-songwriter Jennifer Nettles at the 2016 Country Music Awards earlier this month, as a tribute to the famed singer.
