The best auditions on The Voice are the ones we least expect. We get to experience these types of performances all the time on this iconic show. But have you ever seen the UK’s version? The Coaches here include the band McFly (Tom and Danny), Will.i.am, LeAnn Rimes, and Tom Jones. Just last week, they were in for quite a delight, all thanks to the talented Bette Reynolds. At 76-years-old, this lovely lady is no stranger to the spotlight. She has quite the social media following, often sharing fun video and photos. While her content is largely comedic, she sings from time to time, too. Still, this would be her first time on a stage since 1966, making her both thrilled and, no doubt, a bit nervous. See how she did in the video below! What could be better than 76-year-old Bette auditioning for The Voice? Her doing so with the iconic hit Rapper’s Delight. The original version is a whopping 15 minutes long, so it’s no wonder this talented granny had to shorten it by a good bit. It’s clear, however, that the portion she chose was perfect, because she absolutely killed it! “I haven’t been on stage since 1966. But, at 76, you’re still a young thing if it’s in your mind,” Bette shares. “I want to do myself proud and I want to make my family proud. It’s a big privilege to be here.” This Sweet & Talented 76-Year-Old Delights The Voice UK With Her Rendition of Rapper’s Delight View this post on Instagram A post shared by Brittlestar (@brittlestar) It’s safe to say that Bette very much made her family proud! Her son, Stewart Reynolds (who is also a social media star), was happy to share what a beautiful moment this was for his mom. This is especially true because of how tough this year has been. But throughout all of the bad, there has been a lot of good, too. “My Mom has been having a year,” Stewart writes. “She was 24/7 caregiver for my Dad who had dementia for years. Dad died in January. She filmed The Voice UK in February. She released 2 songs since and we just finished filming her Christmas music video. She’s an inspiration.” We can’t wait to see what this sweet lady does in the battle phase of the competition! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Do you remember the first time you ever saw snow in person? For many of us, this magical moment is one that will stay with us forever. But we humans aren’t the only creatures who can appreciate a winter wonderland. Sometimes, our pets enjoy the snow just as much, if not more, than we do. We should consider ourselves lucky because, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen cats in the snow before, but it’s the definition of adorable! No matter if you have seen cats experiencing snow before or not, nothing can prepare you for how precious these cat videos are. First up, we’ve got a small cat who seems to be experiencing their very first time in the snow. The white fluff has just begun to fall, so only a dusting covers the greenery around them. @bodrive ♬ Fragility – Flawed Mangoes But with each flake that falls, this curious cat can’t seem to look away. They are truly mesmerized, laser-focused on “catching” the falling snow. But they don’t do so in a way that indicates they’re upset at the mysterious stuff falling from the sky — they’re simply fun! Precious Videos of Cats Loving Their Time in the Snow Melts Hearts @blackcattrails It’s snowing! and it is as much fun as I remember too! Coal #blackcattrails #sundayfunday #catsinthesnow #itssnowing #sillycat #catzoomies #catdventures #blackcatsaremagic #catvideos ♬ original sound – blackcattrails Then there’s the cutie above who is aptly named Coal. Although this isn’t their first time in the snow, it’s clear they still haven’t gotten over the wonder of the experience. Rather than focusing on the falling flakes, however, they scurry around in the piled up snow on their back porch. What could be cuter than snow zoomies!? @petsmeowwoof look how happy is that….beautiful…awwww#cats #fyp #xmas ♬ Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! – Dean Martin Now, it’s time to admire one more cute kitten. This one is also focused on the falling snow, despite how much has accumulated on the ground. But there’s a huge difference between this guy and the kitten from the first video. While the first cat was timid, this one is energetic, not at all holding back as they leap into the air to meet the flakes where they’re at. Oh, to be a cat experiencing snow for the very first time!

Rain has long been one of the most evocative symbols in art, spanning across all mediums from music and film to television and painting. It carries a depth of meaning that can range from cleansing and redemption to sadness and loss. In cinema, rain often punctuates a turning point—think of the iconic downpours in classic films like Blade Runner or The Shawshank Redemption, where water serves as a visual metaphor for transformation and release. In visual art, rain can be captured as either gentle or torrential, often reflecting the emotional landscape of both the artist and the observer.
