Loren Allred stuns on AGT All Stars with ”Greatest Showman”

When a singer named Loren stepped onto the America’s Got Talent stage, the audience had no idea they were about to witness history.

Revealed her secret

When Loren Allred took the stage on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League, she didn’t just sing — she stunned. The moment the Pittsburgh native began her breathtaking rendition of “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman, the audience was left speechless.

But the real shocker? Loren revealed that she was the powerhouse voice behind the original song, one of the most successful tracks of all time.

For years, Loren’s voice soared through speakers worldwide, but her face remained a mystery. It wasn’t until she gathered the courage to step forward on Britain’s Got Talent that the world finally saw the woman behind the platinum-selling hit. That brave decision paid off — earning her a standing ovation and Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer, catapulting her straight to the semi-finals.

Simon Cowell commented, ”You sang one of the biggest songs of all time. Why didn’t you get that big deal after the song?” Allred replied, ”I was more comfortable singing behind the scenes. But I feel kind of like the song was meant for me, and I’m kind of ready to put a face to the song. So I’m here to do that.”

The song that became an anthem

Loren’s journey hasn’t been a straight path to stardom. Back in 2012, she competed on America’s Got Talent Season 3 but was eliminated early on. She later admitted that she hadn’t shared enough of her personal story, something that deeply connects performers to audiences. But fate had other plans.

In 2017, her voice was chosen to bring life to “Never Enough” in The Greatest Showman, originally meant to be sung by actress Rebecca Ferguson. Even Rebecca knew Loren’s performance was unmatched, and the song became an anthem of passion and power.

Loren’s talent caught the attention of music icons, too. Michael Bublé discovered her after realizing that the stunning vocals in The Greatest Showman weren’t Rebecca’s but Loren’s. He invited her to duet on “Help Me Make It Through The Night” for his album Love. In 2021, she joined the legendary Andrea Bocelli on tour across the U.S., showcasing her versatile artistry alongside one of the greatest tenors of our time.

Not just a vocalist, Loren is also a songwriter. In 2021, she released her debut album, Late Bloomer, a heartfelt collection that reflects her personal journey, with tracks like “This Summer” serving as an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt a little lost.

Today, Loren Allred, 35, is finally claiming the spotlight she deserves. Her story is one of resilience, talent, and the courage to step out from the shadows. If you’re as captivated as we are, follow her journey on YouTube or her official Facebook page —because Loren Allred is just getting started.

Lip reader decodes what Kanye said to almost-nude wife at Grammys

The Grammys are always a place for show-stopping fashion, but Bianca Censori took things to the next level by making a dramatic entrance in a sheer, see-through dress that left little to the imagination.

But the real drama started after her big reveal, when her rapper husband leaned in and whispered something in her ear. Now, a lip reader is offering insight into what Kanye told his wife on the red carpet, sparking a wave of fury from online fans who say the rapper is “creepy” and “controlling.”

Kanye West is no stranger to making a grand entrance, and this year’s Grammys was no exception. West and his wife Bianca Censori pulled up in twin all-chrome Mercedes-Maybachs, each valued at a staggering $450,000.

The futuristic, mirror-like cars gleamed under the flashing lights, but it was Censori’s bold fashion choice that that really stole the spotlight.

While Kanye, 47, has long been known for his avant-garde style, Censori, 30, is proving to be a fashion risk-taker in her own right. Over the past year, she has continuously pushed boundaries with her daring looks, often opting for ensembles that make waves in the fashion world.

Her Grammy outfit, however, might just be her boldest yet.

Barely there

Redefining “daring” with her barely-there ensemble, Censori strutted the red carpet with her rapper husband and as cameras flashed, fans gasped with her big reveal.

The Australian model turned to face the wall, and slipped out of her floor-length black fur coat, exposing her shocking ultra-sheer, form-fitting dress, leaving almost nothing to the imagination.

Kanye, ever the hype man, was clearly all in on Censori’s statement outfit, and leaning in, he whispered something in his wife’s ear.

The moment seemed to add a layer of intimacy, but a lip reader claims the conversation was everything but loving and supportive.

‘Drop it’

Speaking with the Daily Mail, lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling deciphered the “chilling” and “creepy” conversation between the couple on the red carpet, starting with the moment Censori had her back turned to cameras.

According to Hickling, the Yeezy founder tells his wife: “You’re making a scene now.” He then encourages Censori by adding, “Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense,” the expert claims.

The Australian model nodded, and Hickling suggests Kanye then said: “Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.”

“Alright let’s go,” Censori replied, according to Hickling.

Meanwhile, the Mirror – that also spoke with the lip reader – writes that at some point, Kanye told her: “I’ll tell ‘em you’re on fire tonight, babe.”

‘Sick to my stomach’

Reacting to Hickling’s interpretation of the red-carpet chat, online users expressed deep concern over the couple’s dynamic.

“It’s just him coercing her into taking her jacket off to ‘make a scene’…It was so obvious she was uncomfortable but he made her do it anyway and that makes me sick to my stomach,” tweets one fan.

A second netizen offers, “Look at Bianca Censori’s startled face and uncertain body language. Kanye West directs her. Look how she moves – it’s how he tells her to.”

And another writes, “Bianca, girl, what was the thought process? You looked in the mirror, saw yourself draped in nothing but Kanye’s delusions, and thought, ‘Yes, this is the move’???”

After walking the red carpet, Kanye praised his wife as his “‘best friend” in an Instagram Story.

Sharing a snap of Censori’s revealing outfit, he wrote: “Custom [couture] Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever. My best friend My wife,” as per Unilad.

Kicked out?

According to reports, the couple left the event shortly after, fueling speculation that they were asked to leave due to the stunt.

“Kanye and Bianca were not believed to have been officially invited to the Grammys. They’ve both since been kicked out,” an insider told he U.S. Sun.

However, other sources claimed they exited on their own terms. A second insider insists they “absolutely had tickets” and “only ever planned to get photographed with Bianca and leave.”

Love it or hate it, one thing is for sure, Kanye West and Bianca Censori stole the show at the Grammy Awards with their shocking fashion choices, over-the-top arrival, and bizarre red-carpet moment.

“I then carefully responded with, ‘Your hands tell the story of your life. They tell the story of love, of care and adventure. These hands have touched and held things that most people can only wish to one day.’ And with that, she went with the color pink for her nails.

Sometimes what we are so insecure with, others find beauty in.

Phil Collins reveals he can “barely hold a drumstick anymore”

With eight Grammy awards under his belt, Genesis drummer and lead singer Phil Collins is one of the most prominent musicians there are. He is one of only three musicians, alongside Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, who have sold more than 100 million albums both as a solo act and a member of a band.

Born on January 30, 1951 in London, England to parents who possessed creative spirits, Collins fell in love with making music.

When he was just five, his uncle made him a drum kit out of tambourines, triangles, cymbals and toy drums, Collins recalled. “The old cliché is, ‘Well, at least it will keep him quiet’,” he told Interview Magazine.

Soon after, he found himself performing in shows at his parents’ boating club.

“When I started playing seriously, the English beat thing was just happening, the Shadows and bands like that. It was the very early ’60s,” Collins recalled.

“I remember buying Please Please Me. I used to put the record player on very loud and set up my drums so I was facing the mirror, that way you don’t look at what you’re doing.

“Then when I was fourteen I went to a teacher to learn to read drum music. I figured when this rock-and-roll thing finished I would have to make a living playing in a dance band or in an orchestra pit. So I learned to read drum music, but I found that my capacity for reading was not anywhere near as good as actually playing by instinct.”

It was in the 1970 that Collin’s life changed forever. He was already playing in some bands when he came across an ad by a group called Genesis which was looking for a drummer. He decided to get in touch with them and the rest is history. In the first years of Collins being part of it, the group released five albums with singles that reached the charts.

After the founder and lead singer of Genesis left the group, Collins took his place. He was both a singer and a drummer. Speaking of his new role, he said he didn’t really feel comfortable, but as the group failed to find a singer, he simply stepped in.

Besides being a member of Genesis, Collins also had a very impressive solo career. With smash hits such as In The Air TonightYou Can’t Hurry Love and I Don’t Care Anymore he soon became one of the best in the music industry.

When he decided to leave the group and focus on his solo career, Collins said: “Having been with Genesis for 25 years, I felt it time to change direction in my musical life.

“For me now it will be music for movies, some jazz projects and of course my solo career. I wish the guys in Genesis all the very best in their future. We remain the best of friends.”

However, in 2017, he decided to reunite with the band. Last year, they announced a world tour, The Last Domino, but had to put it on hold because of the pandemic.

And as fans were looking forward to seeing the group on stage together, Collins gave an interview with BBC Breakfast which made many concerned about his health. He and his band mates announced that it will be Collins’ son Nicholas who would do the drumming and Collins will only sing.

“Nic is a great drummer, but he is capable of sounding like early Phil. For Mike and I, that was always quite exciting,” Genesis band member Tony Banks said.

“It means you can play some of the songs that you haven’t played with Phil as the drummer for a long time.”

Speaking of why he’s not getting behind the drums, the musician revealed: “I’d love to but you know, I mean, I can barely hold a stick with this hand. So there are certain physical things that get in the way.

“I’m kind of physically challenged a bit which is very frustrating because I’d love to be playing up there with my son,” adding that he doesn’t know if he wants to be touring any longer.

“We’re all men of our age, and I think to some extent, I think it probably is putting it to bed,” he said. “I think yeah, I think just generally for me, I don’t know if I want to go out on the road anymore.”

During the past few years, Collins experienced certain health issues which left him struggling to get on his feet. Speaking to Billboard, he revealed that after a surgery in 2009, he was left with dislocated vertebra, nerve damage. He had also suffered a foot fracture that left him feeling like he’s walking “on sticks.”
