‘What Would You Do?’ is a popular hidden camera television show hosted by John Qui'ones. The show is notable for putting strangers in difficult situations and then recording their reactions. Each episode gives us a glimpse into the response of the public, which can be unpredictable from respond from episode to episode. Sometimes, there is anger while other times there may be a flood of tear. Many of the episodes are inspired by real life events or news stories.

Nearby patrons notice the shocking moment and their reactions are recorded. Some people try to physical stop the actress while others just look on in disbelief. It was truly an eye-opening moment that is all too real. This episode reminds us all to teach our children and grandchildren the importance of paper money. Even if it is seldom used, it is still a vital part of our society. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Classical singers Richard and Adam return to the Britain’s Got Talent stage for an inspiring performance of ‘The Power Of Love.’ We first met these two brothers when they audition for Britain’s Got Talent back in 2013. The former sandwich shop workers and cruise ship performers stunned the theater with their powerful rendition of ‘The Impossible Dream.’ After finishing in third place, the duo went on to release a number one album in the UK.

Faith in humanity was officially restored after one neighbor’s simple gesture for a boy with Down Syndrome went viral. Six-year-old Finn enjoys walks with his family. He especially loves to look at all the flags blowing in the win. His mom, Brooke, said, "If it's moving, if the wind is blowing, he would sit there for an hour and just watch the flag go back and forth, which is kind of the beauty of Finn, too." But one flag, in particular, always seemed to catch Finn’s eye. Neighbor Todd Disque has a beautiful American flag mounted on a tree. The flag hangs overtop of the very sidewalk that Finn uses for his family walks. He would always stop to look at the mesmerizing display. Sometimes, he would even sit down on the sidewalk and just stare. Todd noticed the interaction and decided that Finn needed a more suitable place to rest. That’s when he built a wooden stool just for the boy and placed it beside the tree. When Finn was on one of his neighborhood walks, the simple stool brought his mother to tears. "It's such a small gesture, but things like this really restore your faith in humanity. Like, there's still good people out there that want to do kind things for no other reason than just to be kind." It’s moments like these that truly remind us how something so small can make the biggest impact on others. Let us use this beautiful display to inspire us in our own acts of kindness.

One student choir made a captain’s last flight a moment to remember with a sweet impromptu serenade. Ronald Smith has been an airline pilot with United Airlines for 32 years. Today, he’s on a flight from Chicago to Brussels and it will be his very last as a pilot. Ronald is set to retire, but not before receiving one final send off that he never saw coming. When the student choir of the LGE (Lycée des Garçons d'Esch-sur-Alzette) heard about the pilot’s retirement, they decided to honor him in the best way they knew possible. After other passengers disembarked, the choir remained behind. When Ronald came out, they stood in a semi-circle and began to sing the words of ‘Viva La Vida’ from Coldplay. “I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!” This contemporary tune was given a complete makeover as these teens perform an a cappella serenade. As the crew gathered around, it was truly a moment of honor for this pilot. Moments like this are far too fleeting and it was such a blessing to see these students take a pause from their day to show this act of kindness. We wish Captain Ronald all the best in his retirement.

In this acappella cover of ‘Don’t Stop Believin’,’ the group VoicePlay performs the iconic song alongside students at Camp A Cappella. “Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere” Everyone knows the words to this Journey song, and it is hard not to sing along to it whenever you hear the music. As soon as that first line hits, everyone always seems to jump in! The members of VoicePlay look like they are having such a fun time in this video while they are singing with the kids at Camp A Cappella, the first and largest a cappella camp in the world. And the campers are smiling from ear to ear and having such a great time singing as well. They are in their element!

The harmonies are wonderful, and the different parts really add to the song. Singing can bring great joy to yourself and to those around you. All throughout scripture, singing and music are mentioned many times when talking about joy, and it’s a wonderful gift that God has given us. What a blessing it is to make music and listen to music that others have created! Psalm 27:6 “Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.” Psalm 132:9 “May your priests be clothed with your righteousness; may your faithful people sing for joy.”

The Analysis paralysis is an individual process when overanalyzing or overthinking a situation can cause forward motion to become paralyzed.

When shinning some light on what you should look for in a man, the answer kept coming back to God in one way or another. Truth, light and honesty as well.

The a cappella men of Vocality perform a barbershop rendition of ‘Come Fly With Me’ by Frank Sinatra. Frank Sinatra continues to be one of the most recognized jazz musician names in the entire world. The popular blue-eyed crooner grabbed hearts in America and later internationally through both a singing career and fame in Hollywood. Over the years, many artists have lent their voices to the songs that Frank made famous. But these iconic songs are always a risky choice for a performer. Thankfully, this barbershop quartet had no issue belting out these iconic words. “Once I get you up there Where the air is rarefied We'll just glide Starry-eyed Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near You might hear All the angels cheer because we're together” It is extremely difficult to perform a song without any musical backing, but these talented men make it look effortless. As they surround the microphone, their vocals blend together perfectly to create a unique rendition of this classic. “Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day Just say those words and we'll feed those birds Down to Acapulco Bay It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away, we'll fly” It’s obvious that these men are very talented. These a cappella arrangements take a lot of time and effort, but it posed no issue for Vocality. They knocked this Frank Sinatra song out of the park. Who else wants to hear more from this barbershop quartet?

The inspiring dance group V Unbeatable returns to the America’s Got Talent stage for a jaw-dropping semifinal performance. We first met this talented ensemble when they defied the air with their initial audition. This dance crew ranges in ages from 12 to 27. In total, there are 28 members in V.Unbeatable and many of them come from the slums of Mumbai. In these areas, there is no electricity and the conditions are very dirty. Sometimes there are seven or more people in one area that is barely meant for two. There are not many opportunities to advance in the slums, but this group found comfort and support through dance. Their first audition left the theater in awe and America was immediately a fan. Now, they are back for an unforgettable semifinal performance full of flips and twists like we’ve never seen before. This fast-paced routine is a combination of dance and acrobatics with epic high-flying tricks. And just when you think they cannot get any higher in the air, the dance crew pulled out the ladder. The longer the routine continues, the better it truly gets. I could barely keep up, let alone imagine actually completing these maneuvers. And just when you think the entire routine is over, the group kicks it up another notch for the grand finale. V.Unbeatable is definitely pulling out all the stops for a chance at the America’s Got Talent. It’s obvious that they left everything on the stage. Do you think this dance crew has what it takes to win the entire competition?
