Loren Allred transported the "AGT" audience to a magical place.
Some songs remain profoundly moving no matter how they are reimagined. “Somewhere Over The Rainbow,” though of course nobody sings it quite like Judy Garland, arguably could be considered one of those songs.
Several artists have indeed put their own wonderful spin on the tune over the years—Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Aretha Franklin, Ariana Grande, to name a few.

Use these cold times as a good excuse to snuggle under a blanket and start streaming your favorite TV shows and movies on Prime Video.

Is your picture of an ideal weekend staying at home, noshing on snacks and television rather than actual peopling?
If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Well, you might be physically, but not in your preference to be antisocial Friday through Sunday.
Recently, a woman named Christina Kwong admitted in a TikTok clip that weekends felt “different” now, that she was perfectly content with “a slice of cake and a maybe can of sparkling water” in lieu of going out.
