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.

MiG Arogan: The Haitian Powerhouse Behind the Spiritual Anthem “Moon Under Me”

MiG Arogan has firmly established himself as a commanding force in the music industry, bringing the weight and depth of Haitian culture and spirituality into the spotlight with his powerful track “Moon Under Me.” This song is not simply a musical creation; it is a bold spiritual declaration and a vivid expression of ancestral strength rooted in Haitian Vodou tradition.

Hailing from Haiti, MiG Arogan combines contemporary rap energy with rich cultural symbolism, carving a unique space where music meets ritual. “Moon Under Me” stands as a testament to this fusion, drawing deeply from the Vodou pantheon of Lwa (spirits) to convey protection, power, and fearlessness.

The song’s hook centers around the presence of Mama performing the sacred work “with the moon under me,” a metaphor for hidden spiritual forces guiding and empowering the artist. Papa Legba, the revered gatekeeper of the spiritual crossroads, “opens doors I don’t see,” symbolizing MiG’s access to realms and protections invisible to others. This connection to Legba asserts a profound control over paths both physical and metaphysical.

Further spiritual guardians emerge in the lyrics: Kalfou, the fierce spirit of crossroads and chaos, “waiting at the edge with heat,” ready to defend or attack; Baron Samedi and Baron Kriminel, powerful death spirits who “laugh when your blood hit street,” representing MiG’s untouchable status backed by forces of life and death. These spirits signal that crossing MiG Arogan or disrespecting his heritage comes with grave consequences.

The song also invokes Erzuli, embodying love, beauty, and pride, along with Simbi, the wise serpent spirit guiding MiG’s style and movement. Ogou, the warrior spirit, tests and arms him, while Damballa offers calm wisdom and balance. The mention of Granne Brigitte, the fierce protector, and the other spirits completes a powerful spiritual armor surrounding the artist.

“Moon Under Me” goes beyond conventional music; MiG Arogan describes himself as “no rapper, I’m a ritual in boots,” emphasizing the song’s ceremonial and mystical weight. The imagery of candles, chants, incense, and spirits evokes authentic Vodou ceremonies that infuse the track with genuine ancestral energy.

By weaving these sacred names and symbols into his lyrics, MiG Arogan not only asserts his own power but elevates Haitian Vodou from misunderstood superstition to a living, respected tradition. His message is clear: “Play with Haitians — that’s the wrong belief.” It’s a warning and a proclamation — the strength of his roots and spiritual backing make him untouchable, commanding respect from all who hear his voice.

With “Moon Under Me,” MiG Arogan asserts a profound cultural and spiritual identity. His music becomes a vessel for ancestral power, a declaration that the Haitian spirit is fierce, unbreakable, and very much alive in him. This song stands as an anthem for strength, heritage, and the unstoppable force that MiG Arogan represents in today’s music and culture landscape.
