This is What's Trending Today...

When American rock star Jon Bon Jovi attended a wedding in Florida recently, he had no plans to perform.

After all, there was already a band playing music for guests. However, the band's singer, local jazz musician Lourdes Valentin, knew that Bon Jovi was among the wedding guests. So, she and her jazz band played his famous song, "Livin' on a Prayer."

Valentin told the Associated Press that she did not think Bon Jovi would want to sing the song with them.

But, that did not stop her from trying to persuade him to do so. As she sang, Valentin walked over to Bon Jovi's table. He did not seem like he was interested in performing. At one point, he said to Valentin "you've got it."

Video of the performance appeared on social media. By Friday, it was a trending topic.

Many people wrote that Bon Jovi did not look exactly pleased or excited. They felt bad that the wedding singer had troubled him during the wedding.

One Twitter user said it looked like he had been "put on the spot."

And that's What's Trending Today.
