Over the years‚ American Idol has become known for some of the most unforgettable performances — but none have been quite like Julia Davo’s audition. At 20 years old‚ she’s made it her goal to become a rock star. She makes this clear in her song choice of Life on Mars? by David Bowie. Although she’s never auditioned for American Idol before‚ her roommate‚ Alyssa Raghu‚ certainly has! In fact‚ Alyssa auditioned in 2018 but was turned down. Then‚ in 2019‚ she became one of the show’s Top 8 contestants. It’s no wonder‚ then‚ why she was just outside of the audition room in order to support her friend. Unfortunately‚ despite getting some great feedback from the judges‚ only Lionel Richie gave Julia a “yes.” This is when things take an unexpected turn… Alyssa is invited into the room and‚ for a moment‚ they catch up. Though‚ Alyssa’s first focus is on expressing her sadness over her friend not making it on the show. Soon enough‚ though‚ the former contestant asks if she can sing for them just for fun. They agree‚ and she delivers an amazing rendition of My All by Mariah Carey. Blown away by how much Alyssa has grown‚ the singer takes her chance and asks if she can have a spot on the show this season. YouTube Former American Idol Contestant Alyssa Raghu Makes an Unexpected Appearance in Friend Julia Davo’s Audition While Luke Bryan and Richie are down to bring Alyssa back‚ Katy Perry calls the events a “really weird plot twist” before stepping away from the table. Many fans of the show have expressed they feel the same way as Perry‚ noting that Alyssa took Julia’s spotlight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alyssa Raghu (@alyssaraghu) This is something that Alyssa seemingly addresses in an Instagram post. Here‚ she shares that she very much fought on her friend’s behalf to get her on the show‚ something that was edited out. “Definitely a bittersweet moment‚” Alyssa writes. “What they didn’t show was me constantly begging Julia to come on the show with me‚ but unfortunately the judges said no … [a] huge thank you to Julia for true friendship and incredible memories.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

This image is from TikTok. “A mammal with no hair‚ a long nose‚ and big ears‚” described the user. Results: This image is from TikTok. This rabbit guinea pig really isn’t too far off.

This obese golden retriever was set to be euthanized‚ but instead got a second chance with a veterinary student who championed the dog’s weight loss journey! Frannie was eight years old and weighed 125 pounds when she was removed from a brutal situation. This poor pooch was living outside on a concrete surface‚ and she had a number of nasty sores. Thankfully‚ she was rescued by Rover’s Retreat before being put down! Due to Frannie’s weight‚ which ABC News tells us was double what a golden retriever should weigh‚ this dog couldn’t walk on her own. That’s when Annika Bram‚ a vet student at UC Davis‚ knew she needed to step in. This animal lover had recently lost her dog‚ Georgia‚ who had also been overweight. Annika was determined to help the golden retriever meet her weight loss goals. @proudmilkdrinker frannie is an 8yr old golden retriever who was rescued from euthanasia by Rover’s Retreat and is now in the care of my roommate annika! follow frannie’s account @Frannie’s Fight to follow along on her journey! #fyp #foryoupage #dogrescue #goldenretriever #rescuedog #animalsoftiktok #dogvideo #dog #rescueanimals #dogsoftiktok ♬ Acoustic Folk Instrumental – Yunusta So far‚ things have been going pretty well for Frannie!

Did you know that it’s been seven years since the last total solar eclipse? That’s right — 2017 was the last time we were able to admire this celestial event. Now‚ we’ll get another chance on April 8! As a reminder‚ a total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth. In doing so‚ it blocks the face of the sun. This leaves us with a glowing halo effect‚ and it’s absolutely breathtaking! That being said‚ the weather and where you’re at dictates how good your view will be that day. There are quite a few states in the path of totality‚ including Arkansas‚ Indiana‚ New York‚ Texas‚ and more. Even if you’re not in one of these states‚ there’s still a chance you’ll get a fantastic view. Jongsun Lee / Unsplash To find out what kind of view you’ll be getting and when‚ check out this NASA made map. When it comes to preparing for a total eclipse‚ there’s more to consider than the timing. It’s also important to wear the proper eyewear. Here’s How to Best View the Total Solar Eclipse Safely According to NPR‚ proper eye protection should be worn during a solar eclipse except for the 3 1/2 to 4 minutes where the sun is completely obscured. At this point‚ they must be removed in order to see it. So‚ not matter if you’re in the path of totality or experience a partial total eclipse‚ the views next month are sure to be spectacular!
