Jersey Shore‘s Snooki gets punched
During the first season of MTV‘s mega-hit about eight housemates living the “Guido” lifestyle in Seaside Heights, NJ, one of the female stars was punched in a bar scene.

Some moments are so huge that they span the globe. It was easy to believe him when he said, “I knew the minute you walked out on that stage that we were going to hear something extraordinary, and I was right.”
Boyle’s performance makes one wonder if she’s not the catalyst for the The Voice.
