Alejandro Aranda’s audition video in American Idol’s season 17 has officially gone viral on social media. He had sung his original song “Out Loud” on his debut in Los Angeles in which currently enjoys 13.5 million views on Facebook and 6.3 million views on youtube. Not only the audience but the judges namely, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bran had appreciated the performance of the contestant. Although Alejandro Aranda’s performance has been viewed by an enormous number of people, it is less popular in comparison to the two eliminated singers Shayy and Myra Tran’s performances.

Shayy sung Andra Day’s “Rise up” and this song has been viewed by 40.7 million people on Facebook and 3.8 million views on YouTube. Despite losing her vision due to a brain tumor, the 18-year-old girl had impressed everyone during her journey in the American Idol’s season 17. Although she had treatment for her lost vision, still doctors could not completely remove the tumor from her brain. Shayy received full support from the judges as well as the other contestants during the show. The judges believed that things will not be the same for Shayy after her journey of “American Idol” and there will be no bullying against her due to her lost vision. She was eliminated from the show after singing Adele’s “All I Ask.” Even judges expressed their displeasure for her elimination and called it a shocking one.

The other eliminated contestant, Myra has sung “One Night Only” from “Dreamgirls” during the audition which crossed 17.1 million Facebook views and 3.2 million youtube views. However, she got eliminated in Hawaii round after she sang “How Far I’ll Go” from “Moana.” The American Idol singers’ videos go viral due to the excellent performances of the artists. But there is also the practice of buying social media likes from websites like Fastlikes.fr to get popularity. Though buying likes is a good practice in the initial phase to kickstart the popularity of social media accounts, but overusing this facility can have a negative effect on the profile.

Nevertheless, we can only hope that the popularity Alejandro Aranda received is true.

The film team is telling people not to miss this film as it won’t be in theaters again for another year. NCG Cinemas Tampa is one of the handpicked theaters in Florida showing ‘Christmas Eve’ a year in advance.

Packed crowds have come to advance screenings around the country with the film hot off the press (production wrapped in July). As a result, only select cities will be able to view the film in advance as there is not enough time to market the film nationwide until next year.

However, the fortunate few again will see the film a year in advance before the national release next year at NCG Cinemas starting November 7, 2025.

The film is already winning many people to Christ with reports of people coming to Christ in the theaters lobbies.

“Two of my friends came to Christ,” reported a theater-goer in Honolulu. “It’s a remarkable film about people coming to Christ on Christmas Eve’. Bring your Bible study group or church as they will be beyond blessed.”

Another theater-goer in Dallas said, “I was in tears on almost every story line. It is truly the best Christmas movie ever made. All of these are true stories.”

Another theater-goer in Atlanta said, “This is the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime movie about how Jesus saved seven people on Christmas Eve. Powerful and just stunning. You shouldn’t miss it at all costs.

The film stars Kevin Sorbo, Michael Irvin, Stephen Baldwin, Nzinga Imani, Eric Roberts, Jermaine Wells, Jordan Laesch, David Jofre, et al. The film is based on seven incredible true stories going from the Victorian era through World War 1 through the Civil War all the way to the present day.

‘CHRISTMAS EVE’ – Advanced tickets go on sale soon.
