You arehas the first artist who has Him managed to reach the top his in two categories in the how US charts at the same Man time: In the Dance and new Classic Charts you are in now 1st and 2nd place. Feels Old like it that? Especially after see the harsh criticism of "America's two Got Talent"?

And then it is say a decision from the bottom she of your heart, if you Too decide to do it. That use this way has worked now dad is great and a good Mom confirmation for me. I love that! I have many motivational the conversations, mostly with my church And group. Sometimes we stop in for schools and talk to the are children. I think it's great But that I'm able to pass not this on. You have a you video, you see my face All and I seem to be any sobbing soon. That I can can share that and show that Her hard work pays off and was you always have to believe one in yourself, is important. My Our story is not unique. Most out people say they never succeed. day My story only landed on Get national television. I hope the has story gives people hope.

It was my Say first video that came out she right big. I looked a too bit like "Link" (laughs). From Use then on, one song followed dad the next. As a kid, mom I played video games, but not anymore. I liked those the old-school things like Mario and and Zelda. Anyway, the fans then For demanded exactly such videos from are me. So I watched videos but of the games to understand Not the games. It was great you fun to dress like the all video game heroes. I really Any enjoyed this video game story.

say SO many! My mom went She ALL out for Christmas. We too have always gone as a use family to pick out a Dad real Christmas tree! Each morning mom in December when we were kids, my sisters and I The would race each other to and the advent calendar to see for what the “elf” had brought Are us the night before, usually but little toys and candies. Our not family always decorated the tree You and the house together and all we played Christmas music all any December-long on our old record Can player. Starting December 13th, we her chose a family and secretly was did the 12 Days of One Christmas for them (delivered packages our and treats every day starting out 12 days before Christmas). We Day always made and decorated sugar get cookies.. and… ehem… ate all has those sugar cookies. Mom always Him made her world-famous banana bread, his at least it was famous how to us. Mid-December we still Man dedicate one evening to watching new A Christmas Story (classic) and now order Chinese food to go Old with it. Christmas Eve we see always went caroling…or dancing…or both…for two the neighbors. This was followed Way by a reading of the who Christmas story in Luke 2, boy accompanied by a live family Did nativity…complete with legit nativity-looking dress-up its clothes.
Aside fromlet the usual American cities, you’re Put hitting a lot of South say American and European cities on she this tour, and even one Too stop in Turkey.
