High school talent shows are a perfect way for many kids to show off their skills. Although they may feel a bit shy performing in front of the whole school, it’s still one of the best ways to become famous among the peers. 

Brett Nichols is a young boy who stunned his classmates, his teachers, and the rest of the people who got to see him rock the stage by dancing to late Michael Jackson’s song “Billy Jean.” It’s crazy how a teenager can recreate the iconic moves so true. Brett, as “The King of Pop” himself, defies gravity.

The impressive choreography makes the crowd go frenzy over the incredible dance moves. They can’t stop cheering as young Brett takes the stage. The way he is dressed, the black suit, a black hat, white shirt and white socks, makes the whole performance even stronger. This young man dances to the beat of the music and embodies Michael Jackson.  

It’s very stunning how he does the routine with such ease, and looks as though he’s not touching the floor, but flies. People will assume he’s done this a million times before. That’s how great he is. 

YouTube

The video of Brett’s crazy dancing skills has been viewed by millions of people who agree that the moonwalk he breaks out into is not something we see every day. It doesn’t only take talent to nail those moves, but courage as well. 

Needless to say, Brett won the first place and got himself a bunch of followers and fans. He’s definitely going to be the most famous guy at school.

This initial performance at Pitman High School in Turlock, California, allowed Brett to continue sharing his talent when he made an appearance on NBC, CNN and ABC News’ The View. He has also traveled with Michael Jackson cover bands.

It’s really touching how Michael Jackson’s presence could be felt because of his songs and people like Brett who find inspiration in his work even though he is not physically present among us.

This young boy will definitely leave you in awe as you see his mind-boggling performance in the video below. Pulling off such moves requires out-of-this-world dancing talent. 

Owner pretends to be crying just to see how her horse would react – And it is incredibly beautiful

Those who are convinced that animals are emotionless creatures whose behavior is only driven by the desire to find food are very much mistaken. Every dog owner will tell you how their four-legged pals get overly excited when the humans get home and offer support when their owners feel down.

However, canines aren’t the only creatures who possess the ability to feel happiness, sadness, or show empathy. Among the animals known to be very emotional are the magnificent horses. They are not often kept as pets, except by farmers, but those who have ever had the chance to be around horses know just how special they are.

One horse owner decided to see what will happen if her horse see her crying. She turned her camera on and then sat down with her legs crossed and made a noise as though she was crying. At first, her horse didn’t notice her, but once he heard the whimpering, he picked a piece of hay with his mouth and gave it to her.

Well, hay makes horses happy, so this elegant stallion believed that treating his sad owner with some will make her happy too.

The video is too cute to handle. Check it out below and don’t forget to share it with your friends.

We are sure this sweet boy will become a professional dancer, and in case he doesn’t, he is still lucky to be this cheerful at such a young age. Only if we were all so carefree.

“Pilot Pete’s Coffee & Treats” owner delivers over 6,000 coats with warm cups of coffee to the homeless of Chicago

What we do for those who are less fortunate speaks a lot of us as human beings. In times of need, we should always stick for one another because that’s the only way of making this world a better place for everyone.

Meet Peter Thomas, a young man who is doing a huge change in the lives of the homeless people living in Chicago. Pete owns a coffee shop, Pilot Pete’s Coffee & Treats, located at the suburban Chicago train station. His shop is welcoming and everyone around loves this man not only for his hardworking nature, but also for all he does for the community.

He started his business back in 2011, and despite the difficulties he has been experiencing because of the pandemic, he’s still going strong. For seven years now, Peter is the man behind the Coffee with a Purpose initiative, which offers free coffee, treats, coats, warm clothes, as well as personal hygiene items for the homeless. For that purpose, Peter, who brewed up 40 gallons of coffee, together with Rough Edges Confectionery, who provided the baked goods, Good Move Movers, who provided the 26-foot moving truck and a driver, and Angel Fancy Design Studio, who made the custom truck signage, made six stops throughout greater Chicago.

According to Peter, the number of people in need of the items Annual Coat Drive was offering this year was greater than before mainly because of the effect the pandemic had on the society. As we all know, a lot of people lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet. From November 1st to February 1st, the period when the Annual Coat Drive takes place, with the help of the community, over 6,000 coats were distributed around Chicago.

“[When]we made this effort, all the shelters were on lockdown,” Peter said in an interview with the Elmhurst Independent. “No one was allowed in or out, that is, once you’re out, you can’t get back in, so there are more and more homeless people… This is a good year to be extra giving.”

“You never know where someone has been or what someone’s been through before meeting them,” he added. “With the homeless, we treat everyone the same or equal.”

According to Peter’s mom and everyone who knows him, he’s one of the most considerate and helping people there are.

“I love working with coffee as a tool of motivation to fuel and ignite people to soar beyond their expectations and to soar beyond society’s expectations,” he said. “I’m fueling them and caffeinating them to do something better… something that will make them feel good about themselves so we can all grow together as one coffee family and fly beyond greatness.”

As he has done a lot for the community, now the community wants to give Peter back by signing the petition for his coffee to remain inside the new Elmhurst Metra Station that is being under construction. If you want to help Peter, you can sign here.

My punishes daughter for offending a homeless man by making her sleep outside in the cold for a night

Doing parenting right is always easier said than done. In hopes of teaching their children how to become respected individuals who would respect others in return, parents are sometimes opting for some unconventional methods.

Recently, one mom’s Reddit post got the attention of many after she explained how she forced her daughter sleep outside during the cold weather after she offended a homeless man. As she explained it, it all started when she saw a video of her daughter Jessica telling the homeless man not to ask her for money, adding: “You’d earn it yourself if you weren’t so f***ing lazy and spending what you earned on substances.” After he could be heard complaining about sleeping outside during the cold weather, Jessica replies: “Yeah people camp for fun, even in December, you can’t complain, you’re living someone’s holiday.”

The mom was shocked. She couldn’t believe her daughter could be so inconsiderate. “I thought I had raised an empathetic daughter,” she wrote on Reddit.

After the incident, the mom made Jessica apologize to the homeless man and pay $20 for a room in a hotel so that he could spend the night there. Jessica did that, but her mother could tell her apology wasn’t sincere as the girl could be seen rolling her eyes. That is why she decided that it would be for the best if Jessica got a taste of her own medicine.

“I locked her bedroom door so she couldn’t go in, put a sign on it saying closed for the holidays, pitched a tent in the garden and filled it with blankets and the sleeping bag I used when I was camping in Norway on a family holiday as a teen (aka really bloody thermal),” the mom wrote.

She was sure she was doing the right thing until her sister called her and told her that her punishment was way too severe.

It was then that the mother decided to share the whole story with the fellow Redditors and ask for advice. Needless to say, most of them praised her for her creative way of teaching Jessica a lesson and called her an awesome mom.

The mom further explained that after she got home from work the following day, Jessica did complain for having to spend the night outside, but she was in the kitchen preparing meals for the homeless in the neighborhood, so it was all worth it.

As for the homeless man, the mom is now helping him find a job. He is 25 and had to go through a lot during his life. We hope everything will turn for the best for him. As for Jessica, we are glad she learned empathy and we know she would be a much better person in the future.

Cows go bonkers over a huge bristle brush installed just for them

Tom Pemberton is a young farmer from England who loves what he does for a living. He’s very active on the social media where he entered by chance and speaks of the life of farmers. He’s also embraced as a spokesperson for all the farmers out there.

“I got into social media by mistake. I was trying to promote a raw milk vending machine in a video, which my girlfriend helped me with at the time. We posted the video on Facebook and YouTube — Facebook went really well with around 11,000 views and YouTube only got 200-300 views. That’s how it started, completely by mistake!” Tom said.

However, we are very lucky he did because his farm resembles an animal heaven and watching videos of all the animals living there and enjoying their days is pure pleasure. Yes, Tom makes sure he keeps the livestock happy, and if you ask how one keeps a cow happy just take a look at what this young man is doing for his cattle.

During one of his latest videos, his followers noticed something resembling a huge brush in the middle of the farm and the cows gathered around it, scratching their heads and bodies.

What an incredible sight!

The huge scratching post for the cows was installed by Mayo Farm Systems, and Tom posted a video showing how it was placed. Some of the cows were closely monitoring the whole process as though they knew this unusual yellow thing is meant specially for them.

Thomas Duffy, the founder of Mayo Farm Systems and the inventor of this special brush which allows animals to rub their bodies on it, says he turned his idea into a real project firstly because he loves animals, and secondly because he wanted his brother’s cattle to be happy and not get hurt rubbing their bodies on the fences. He later offered to work with Tom and provide one for his cows as well.

The video is definitely a must watch. And as the caption says, this is how you can make 100 cows happy in the blink of an eye. Enjoy!

32-year-old mother brutally killed by two teenagers aged 14 and 18

32-year-old Pamela Cabriales, who was a mother of a six-year-old boy, was brutally killed by two teenagers while she was sitting in her Land Rover.

After the horrific killing, the suspects, who were 14 and 18 years old fled the scene but were soon caught by the police during the chase after them.

Pamela was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, she was pronounced dead. Her family was devastated. They still can’t understand why someone would kill their sister and daughter and leave her little son without his mother.

Speaking to KDVR News, Pamela’s grieving brother, Alex, said: “It was inhumane what they did to my sister. It was terrible. I mean I don’t want to be graphic, but I was at the hospital with her. The whole top of her head was blown off, her brain was exposed. The community needs to know what these people did. My sister was beautiful.”

This, unfortunately, isn’t the first and only tragedy the family has suffered. Alex revealed that back in 1994, their brother died in a similar manner. He was shot and killed when he was just 14 years old.

Pamela was killed on February 20, and Alex is now asking from the community to come together. He told KDVR News: “This is a call to action. (Denver prosecutor) Beth McCann has the power to make sure these two individuals never walk free a day in their life and don’t kill anyone else. It’s not even for us. It’s for the community, for other families. We don’t want other families to go through.”

Alex added: “We didn’t speak up or say anything then. It got swept under the rug. I know the head of the DA’s office believes in rehabilitation, especially with minors. but there are just some individuals you cannot offer rehabilitation to. You need to look at severity of crime, their record.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up in order to help secure Pamela’s son’s financial security. So far, around $63.000 have been raised.

Rest in peace, Pamela.

Veterans waiting at airport start dancing to “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”

When something unexpected comes along our way, it is on us to decide whether we will embrace it and try to turn in into our favor or not, just like these veterans who found themselves waiting long hours at the airport as their flight was delayed.

These World War II heroes were supposed to get back home to Kentucky from Washington D.C but got stuck at the Reagan National Airport. All of the veterans were gifted a free trip as part of a project by the non-profit organization Honor Flight Network.

Knowing that waiting can be frustrating, the Ladies of Liberty decided to make the veterans’ time at the airport fun so they started singing one of the most famous patriotic songs, the classic Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by The Andrews Sisters.

However, they probably didn’t believe that two of the elderly gentlemen would start dancing. Marin Perryman took the “dance floor” first and his battle buddy, Paul Kopey, joined in.

The sight of the veterans moving to the rhythm was pretty incredible to witness. Onlookers were delighted, and one of them, a woman, joined in the heroes in having fun. As she danced with Paul, Martin approached and tapped him on the shoulder, asking for his turn to show off.

The ending was probably the best of all. It showed the veterans and the woman laughing and hugging each other.

Thankfully, it was all caught on tape by a woman named Grace Gupton who later shared the video on YouTube. Among the comments, there was one written by the woman dancing. It said: “Oh, my goodness! I loved dancing with these gents! It isn’t every day that a WWII vet can out dance you! After an early morning and a long day traipsing all over DC, these veterans still have amazing energy!”

Gentlemen, thank you for your service and thank you for making our day with your dancing.

Take a look at the video of the veterans dancing below. Wasn’t life much better before the pandemic?
