When 14 year old Aldrich Lloyd Talonding's video was posted on YouTube, he had no idea that it would make him famous. His cousin posted the video of Aldrich singing Luther Vanross' Dance with My Father along with his cousin's guitar accompaniment.
Aldrich's rendition of the song is really amazing and spread quickly through YouTube. It's so amazing that Ellen DeGeneres played it on her show and asked Aldrich to “please come here and sing to me and all of my friends here.”
After receiving a call from the show's producer, Aldrich is applying for a visa to come to the U.S.
Check out Aldrich's performance:
And that's what's good,

What does a 101 year old do on their spare time? Run marathons of course!…ok not many, but Fauja Singh does and he does it in style - with his flowing white beard. I know when I'm his age, I'll definitely sport the white beard!
Fauja decided to make the recent Hong Kong marathon's 10 K his last race, finishing in 1 hour and 32 minutes. He was joined by many fellow Sikh and 72,000 other runners.
"I will remember this day. I will miss it," Fauja said after the race.
In 2011, at the age of 100, Fauja became the world's oldest man to run a full marathon during the Toronto marathon. His record is not recognized by the Guinness Book of World records because he does not have a birth certificate.

Fauja Singh, you are truly an inspiration. Never stop moving! It doesn't matter how old you are, what you look like, or where you are from - you can do anything you put your mind to!
And that's what's good,
Jon
The Good World News
Many pray for sun on their wedding day. This young couple in love knew what was most important - each other. They were not going to let anything get in their way, not even a monsoon!
The monsoon that hit the Philippines in August of 2012 landed right on their wedding day. Ramoncito Campo and his wife Hernelie Ruazol Campo didn't care. They showed that their love ran so much deeper than water. Awww :)
These two love birds have shown the world that you cannot control the weather, but you can express your love rain or shine!
