What happens when a real-life love story mixes with one of the most famous love songs of all time? You get a musical moment that makes everyone melt!
Brooks Rosser and Rae Boyd, two favorite contestants from the latest season of American Idol, just gave fans a huge treat. They shared a cozy video online of themselves singing a romantic duet, showing that their love is very real, both on and off the stage.
Fans who watched the show remember exactly when these two became a couple. It happened during a special “Disney Night” episode when Rae surprised Brooks by running out onto the main stage. Ever since then, they have been total “couple goals.”

Even though their time in the contest ended, they are still making beautiful music together. In their new video, which they captioned “Channeling some Elvis energy today,” they sit close together in a warm, soft-lit room. Brooks sings with his deep, rich voice, and Rae adds sweet, perfect harmonies. It feels just like watching two people fall in love all over again.
The song they chose for their special video is “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. Elvis first sang this masterpiece way back in 1961 for his movie Blue Hawaii.

It is widely known as one of the purest and most beautiful love songs ever written. When it first came out, it rushed right up the music charts! It reached number one in the United Kingdom and number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America.
It also stayed at number one on the Adult Contemporary chart for six whole weeks and sold millions of copies, earning a shiny Platinum record. Elvis loved the song so much that he used it to close out almost all of his giant concerts in the 1970s. Now, more than sixty years later, Brooks and Rae are bringing that same Elvis energy to a whole new generation. By singing those famous lines about how “some things are meant to be,” this American Idol couple is proving that their own love story was definitely meant to be, too!
