A teenager called Lai Noelle just had the best night of her life on America's Got Talent. She belted out a cover of an Elton John classic that was so brilliant, one of the judges hit the Golden Buzzer, sending her straight through to the live shows with confetti raining down and the whole crowd on their feet. Billboard called her performance "incredible," and honestly, it's easy to see why, taking on a legend like Elton John and making it your own takes serious guts and talent.

Olivia Rodrigo Gets Personal At Grammy Museum

Olivia Rodrigo popped up at the Grammy Museum for a special intimate show, and she didn't just perform, she sat down for a proper heart to heart with legendary music journalist and film director Cameron Crowe. It's the kind of up close event lucky fans dream about, way smaller and more personal than her usual arena shows. Chatting with someone as respected as Crowe likely meant Olivia opened up about her songwriting and what inspires her music, giving fans a rare peek behind the curtain. These museum sessions don't happen often, so if clips start popping up online, they're worth watching. It's a lovely reminder that even pop's biggest stars still love the small, personal shows just as much as the huge ones.

Today's Lesson: The Forward Roll

real Poppie words

Warm up first

  1. Warm up your neck, shoulders and back gently. Always roll on a soft mat or carpet, never a hard floor.
  2. Find a clear space with nothing to bump into.

Get the shape

  1. Crouch down small. Put your hands flat on the mat in front of you, about shoulder-width apart.
  2. Tuck your chin right into your chest. This is the most important bit: it keeps the back of your head touching the mat, never the top.
  3. Stay round like a little ball the whole way over.

The roll

  1. Push gently off your feet and take your weight on your hands.
  2. Roll forward over the back of your shoulders, not the top of your head.
  3. Keep your knees tucked in tight to your chest as you roll all the way over.

Come up like a gymnast

  1. As you roll up, reach your arms forward and try to stand up without using your hands. That's the strong finish.
  2. Practise the tuck slowly first. A neat little ball beats a fast messy roll every time.

Coach's tip: tuck your chin right into your chest and stay round like a little ball. That's the whole secret. And always on something soft! 💜

Recipe 1: How to Cook a Steak

real Poppie words

Before you start

  1. Wash your hands.
  2. Take your steak out and put it on a chopping board or plate.

Season it

  1. Heat your pan, around medium to high heat.
  2. Salt and pepper: rub it in, massage it a bit, then do the other side.
  3. Put the olive oil on the steak, not on the pan.

Cook it

  1. Steak onto the pan.
  2. One minute on each side. Keep flipping until it looks done the way you like it: well done, medium rare, however you like your steak.
  3. Take it off the pan and let it cool for a bit.
  4. Then you can cut your steak up.

Chef's tip: the oil goes on the steak, not the pan. That's how the pros do it. 🍳
