A 19 year old named Cristian walked in front of the judges and said he saw Ed Sheeran playing a show and wanted to be like him. Simon Cowell replied, “but you know with him it’s all about the songs?” Cristian replied, “I write songs myself” prompting Simon to ask, “Can we hear one of your songs?”. Slightly hesitantly, Cristian replies, “you can, yeah” and slowly added, “I’ve got a song that I wrote for my brother who passed away when I was only young”. Simon asked if he was sure he wanted to perform it and Cristian said, “I think I’m ready to.” He then showcased some of the most beautifully written lyrics heard in an audition leaving all the judges with a lump in their throat. Cristian’s heartfelt audition went on to receive over 14 million views as his authentic songwriting captured the hearts of millions. Watch video in comments below.
Talent shows are full of surprises and that is one of the reasons we get so addicted to them. We never know if that shy girl who’s trembling on the stage would be the next star, or if the boy who can’t wait to let his voice loose would get a pass for the next round. What we do know, however, is that some of the performances are so powerful they stay with us long after we see them.
When Christian Burrows took the stage of one of the most popular music talent shows, The X Factor, not many believed he would make many cry.
When Simon asked him what he prepared for them, Christian said he’d penned a song about the loss of his baby brother Nathan who passed away at just three months old.
“I’ve got a song that I wrote for my brother who passed away when I was only young,” he told Simon, who asked him if he was certain he wanted to perform such a personal and emotional song. Christian said he believed he was ready, but no one was prepared for what followed.
The lyrics of Thunder Buddy, which Christian performed in front of the entire nation, touched everyone’s heart.
Before his son saw the light of the day, Christian only performed it twice in his life; once for his mom and once for his dad.
He left the stage with four yeses and proud of his performance that left some of the judges in tears.
Following his appearance on the show, Christian spoke to Metro Online and shared the heartbreak his family suffered when his brother passed away. At the time, Christian was 2 and a half years old and although he doesn’t remember anything specifically, he said he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of relationship he and his late brother would have now.

Meet Megan and Morgan, the “Trueblue Twins”, who are popular online
The “Trueblue Twins,” Megan and Morgan, first captured public attention when Deyonte Hunter, a renowned tattoo artist and musician from Camden, posted a photo of them on Instagram a few years ago.
What makes these two aspiring young models so remarkable? Just a glance is enough to understand why people refer to them as the “cutest twins ever.” Megan and Morgan are particularly famous on the internet due to Morgan’s rare and captivating bright blue eyes.
Morgan’s distinctive eye color is the result of a condition called heterochromia, which causes two different colored eyes. However, there’s no negative impact on her health—doctors have confirmed she has perfect vision. Her grandfather, mother, and uncle, who also share the same condition, are the sources of her striking blue eyes.
Their mother, who dresses the twins in matching outfits, knew from the moment they were born on June 6, 2011, that her daughters were destined to be extraordinary. She makes sure to keep them looking fashionable and regularly shares their photos online. Today, Megan and Morgan are often compared to A-list celebrity children and have signed contracts with several brands, all managed by their mother rather than a personal stylist.
For now, the family is taking a low-key approach. The girls receive free clothing from well-known brands but are not paid for their modeling, as their mother prefers not to pressure them into something they may not want to pursue. However, if they decide to go further into the modeling world, their stunning looks and widespread popularity suggest they would be incredibly successful.
Lovell Knight, the girls’ father, occasionally feels overwhelmed by the attention they attract. He is not particularly fond of their “celebrity” status, believing that the twins should experience a normal childhood. He remains mindful of the potential impact fame could have on their lives.
Despite sharing the same level of fame, Megan and Morgan are distinct individuals, each with their own unique personality, making them even more special.
