A boyband audition on BGT, but make it loud. SOS gave Backstreet Boys' Everybody a pop punk makeover and walked off with four yeses. Simon told them to stick to covers. Their original song later proved him wrong 🎸  #BGT #BackstreetBoys #PopPunk #TalentShow #Boyband

A man arrested hours earlier for domestic violence squeezed his entire body through the bars of a police cell in Florianópolis, Brazil. Then he went back for his shoes. Police are still searching and the cell is closed for repairs.  #CaughtOnCamera #ViralVideo #BreakingNews #PrisonEscape #CCTV

Yung Lean walked onto the VMAs stage, smashed a Moon Person, then stood perfectly still while a sea of uniformed dancers moved like one organism around him. Awards shows aren't supposed to feel like this. #VMAs #MTV #Choreography #LivePerformance #MusicVideo

A 17 year old walked onto the AGT stage alone and built a full band out of thin air. Guitar, bass, drums, all looped live on her own song. Simon called it genius. The best part? It wasn't perfect, and that's exactly why it worked 🎸🥁 #AGT #Auditions #TalentShow #LoopPedal #DrummerGirl

Kurt Cobain in 1993, hearing Madonna charged $50 a ticket: "Who charges that much money?" Nirvana's tickets were $17. Kurt said each member kept about $1.75 a head. Somewhere, a dynamic pricing algorithm just laughed. #KurtCobain #Nirvana #Madonna #90sMusic #TicketPrices

FDNY crews smashed a car's windows in the Bronx to run a hose to a hydrant. Half the internet says fair play, the other half says the car wasn't even in front of it. NYC law says 15 feet on either side. Who's right? 🚒 #Firefighters #NYC #FireDepartment #FirstResponders #ParkingRules

Two chairs turned in roughly two seconds. A 19-year-old from Lower Alabama sang Travis Tritt's "Anymore" on The Voice, and Kelly Clarkson physically stepped in front of Riley Green to fight for him. He had never played a real gig before. #TheVoice #BlindAuditions #CountryMusic #MusicTalent

Tom Holland on doing his own Spider-Man stunts: "I did as much as I was allowed." 🕷️ Gymnastics, dance and parkour did the rest. Doubles still handle the truly risky stuff, but most of what you see is him. #TomHolland #SpiderMan #Marvel #BehindTheScenes #MovieStunts
