Ever since she entered our lives on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, the 63-year-old singing phenom has habitually taken iconic songs and brought them to new heights with her voice alone. Today, we’ve tracked down a robust cover of “Auld Lang Syne” that can move anyone to tears.

There’s something about Boyle’s performance that makes us want to put our party hats on, pour some champagne, and celebrate — it’s that good. Boyle’s Scottish roots shine through in her vocals and elevate the song, giving the track an even more uplifting feel. We thought her cover of “Silent Night” would be our favorite Boyle performance, but her version of “Auld Lang Syne” takes the cake!

“Auld Lang Syne” has become synonymous with New Year’s Eve celebrations

With roots in Scottish culture, the song has been adapted countless times over the generations. The song’s text is from a 1788 poem written by Robert Burns, and the lyrics are reflective over times gone by — in fact, “auld lang syne” is loosely translated to “for the sake of old times.”

In traditional Scottish culture, the song is used to bring a sense of finality to formal events, and the Western world has since adopted it as the unofficial song of annual New Year’s Eve celebrations. In fact, most Americans will immediately recognize the song as the one that plays immediately after the ball drops in Times Square to ring in the new year!

Although it’s become synonymous with New Year’s Eve, Boyle’s breathtaking cover gives the song a transcendent quality beyond simply marking the end of a calendar year. Ultimately, it’s yet another song the America’s Got Talent icon can add to her list of genuinely memorable covers.

Olivia Newton-John and Andy Gibb were icons of the late ’70s music scene and it was natural that the two superstars would collaborate on a duet.

Taking to the stage on January 9, 1979 the pair sat opposite one other on high chairs and gave a stunningly heartfelt performance of the delicate Bee Gees song ‘Rest Your Love On Me’.

While rumours of whether the two dated have never been confirmed, the energy between the two is palpable and lead to them recording a single for Andy’s new album just a few months later.

Olivia and the youngest Gibb brother were performing at The Music for UNICEF Concert: A Gift of Song, a gig held to raise money for world hunger programs and to mark the beginning of 1979’s International Year of the Child.

The concert was the brainchild of the Bee Gees and David Frost and was held at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City which saw performers including the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, ABBA, Donna Summer and Earth, Wind and Fire donate royalties of the song they performed to UNICEF.

The biggest pop and disco stars of the time were roped in by the Gibb brothers for the one-off gig and saw each act sing one of their own hit songs, alongside special appearances from Henry Fonda, David Frost and Henry ‘The Fonz’ Winkler.

The incredible show culminated in a beautiful medley of Jackie DeShannon’s ‘Put A Little Bit Of Love In Your Heart’ by all the acts and was recorded and televised the following day on NBC and across the world.

Elvis Presley was an incredible artist. Not only was he a brilliant singer, but he was also an amazing performer as well. Sadly, he passed away way before his time. However, the world has yet to forget him. The video below features a jaw-dropping rendition of “O Come, All Ye Faithful” with the voices of The King, Elvis Presley, and the classical music star, Susan Boyle.

Their unique voices come together fantastically well and it might even send shivers down your spine. Susan Boyle rose to prominence after becoming the winner of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. She has impressed us with her voice ever since then. And this mashup with Elvis is not an exception. Wait till you hear this for yourself!

She skyrocketed to fame in 2009 as runner-up on Britain’s Got Talent.  Susan Boyle returned to the “Got Talent”  stage once again and brought the audience to tears with another breathtaking rendition of Les Misérables’ ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ — the song that made her famous.

Since her time on Britain’s Got Talent, Scottish singer Susan Boyle has cranked out a large number of chart-topping albums and sell-out concerts around the world. 

The first song she performed for AGT: The Champions, “Wild Horses” by the Rolling Stones, was a huge hit.  Instead of the well-known rock n roll version of the song, Susan slowed it down for a unique rendition. It was such a hit that judge Mel B hit her Golden Buzzer to send Susan right to the finals.

In an interview, Susan said that she views herself as “a champion for those who, maybe, don’t have the confidence to do things, for those that don’t have a voice, the ones who people tend to ignore. I feel I’m a champion for them.”

In her audition intro video, Susan credited much of her success to her mother. “She encouraged me singing…she died in 2007. My mother wanted me to chase my dream. I made a promise to her that I would do that. Without my mother, I wouldn’t be the singer that I am today.”

Susan is very determined to give the show her all, as she does every performance.  She said, “I wanted to compete on The Champions because it’s a challenge, and I love a challenge.  This is my opportunity…I would love to win.”

For tonight’s audition, Susan chose “I Dreamed a Dream” from the Broadway hit musical Les Misérables.  This is the song she sang in 2009 in her BGT audition that got judge Simon Cowell’s attention and won him over.

On the video performance, Susan stood on stage with the same calm, quiet confidence that she showed on the BGT stage all those years ago.  She wowed the judges and audience as if it were their first time hearing her. Effortlessly, Susan’s voice traveled over every note and brought the song to life.  When she reached the climax of the song, the crowd stood to their feet cheering.  This performance will definitely give you chills.

Tension between billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk and his estranged, transgender daughter Vivian Wilson spilled into public view this week after she spoke out to counter her father’s claims that she is “dead — killed by the woke mind virus.”

In an interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk alleged he had been “tricked” into approving gender-affirming care for Wilson at 16 and had subsequently “lost” his son. The experience, he said, made him an ardent opponent of gender-affirming care and fueled his quest to “destroy the woke mind virus.”

On X after the interview, Musk said that his child was born “gay and slightly autistic” and claimed these traits “contribute to gender dysphoria.” Wilson shot back soon after on Threads, dismissing her father’s characterization of her childhood as “entirely fake.” She criticized him for peddling harmful stereotypes about trans and queer people in “an attempt to garner sympathy points.”

“He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there,” the 20-year-old said in one post. And when her father was present, Wilson said, he “relentlessly harassed” her for her “femininity and queerness.”

Washington Post reporters called and texted a phone number for Wilson but did not get a response. Musk did not respond to emailed requests for comment from The Post.

The dispute marks a rare public spat between Wilson and Musk, whose frustrations over her transition have been central to his well-documented rightward political shift. In recent years, Musk has been embraced by prominent conservatives such as Tucker Carlson, spoken out against corporate diversity initiatives and amplified right-wing commentators on social media.

On X, the social media platform he owns, he has decried gender pronouns with statements that have drawn backlash, even from those close to him.

“I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare,” Musk wrote in late 2020. In response to a tweet earlier that year where he wrote “Pronouns suck,” he was admonished by his then-partner Grimes, who asked him to stop and said she could not “support hate,” news outlets reported.

In the Peterson interview, Musk characterized the gender-affirming treatments that Wilson received, including puberty blockers, as “child mutilation and sterilization.”

Musk also told Peterson that permitting children to change their gender identity is “incredibly evil” and that those who advocate for gender-affirming care for young people “should go to prison.”

Vivian is one of six children that the billionaire has had with Justine Wilson, a writer. He also has three children with Grimes, a musician, and three children with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk’s Neuralink company.

Many states have banned gender-affirming care for transgender minors. A majority of Americans oppose puberty-blocking medications and hormonal treatments for trans children, according to a Washington Post-KFF poll, although the American Psychological Association has said the ability to access such treatments improves the overall well-being of those youths.

The 74-year-old model, mother of billionaire Elon Musk, Maye Musk, shared that more than 35 years ago, when her son was only 14 years old. Elon Musk recommended that she invest $1,000 in stocks and buy shares of a company he “really believes in,” despite the stockbroker saying the investment was a “bad idea.” .

Maye Musk once invested $1,000 in stocks following Elon Musk’s advice.

The 14 year old model shared that more than 35 years ayo, Elon Musk recomended that she buy stuck in a company he “really believed in despite the stockoroker saying the investiment was a bad idea”.

The above story was shared by Maye Musk cn Twitter on May 1 after the world’s richest billionaire gave some advice on choosiny stocks. The 50-year old pillionaire uryed his witter tolluwers to buy stocks of companies that produce products they ‘trust” and not to panic” by the market reaction

Giving an example of Elon Musk’s investment philosophy, Mirs. Maye said that in the 1980s she invested about $1,000 in stocks that her son recommended. It was the largest amount of money she had ever ventured into this field.

Elon Musk’s faith in the company quickly paid oft and the value of Maye’s investment tripled. When the stock price increased Maye “panicked” and decided to sell all his shares. “I wasn’t happy about it. This code then continued to increase.. also think it’s untair tor you to divide your profits between me @kimbal and @ToscaMusk,” Maye said on íwitter.

Elon Musk’s investment advice comes just days after he sold 9 6 million Tesla shares, worth $8.5 billion. This move is said to be to pay for the $44 billion deal with Twitter.

This is also not the first time the world’s richest man has given investment advice. Larlier this year, Elon Musk said owning material things like a house or stock in companies is “generally better than holding cash when inflation is high.

Previously, in an interview with Insider, Maye Musk emphasized that she helped her children develop by encouraging them to pursue their personal interests. During his childhood, CEO Tesla showed a passion for books and computer programming. In April, Elon Musk shared at the TED conference that his success is largely due to his desire to answer important questions surrounding the meaning of life.

Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand are arguably two of the greatest singers of all time, and they actually teamed up together before on occasion, with their most notable duet being “I’ve Got A Crush On You.”

Sinatra’s death in 1998 left a void in the musical world, to say the very least. But in 2014, Barbra decided to record another duet in her old friend’s honor and selected his timeless, 1924 hit, “It Had To Be You.”But whose voice and singing style was anywhere as close in quality to Sinatra’s to do this song justice?

Canadian singer/songwriter and producer Michael Buble, of course!

He was incredibly honored to be asked to join her in the recording studio, and boyishly humbled in her presence – they’d never actually met until that day – and said he “just wanted to show up and not let her down.” Which is an incredibly modest statement, as you’ll see in the video below.

YouTube

Of course, he has to give himself some credit… Barbra never would’ve asked him to join the duet if she weren’t already such a fan of his music. And the fact that the song starts out as a ballad before transitioning into Michael’s signature, big-band style is a pretty big statement all in itself.

“Michael is a big band singer. So I thought, why not start it as a ballad and then have the big band take over?” explained Barbra, who’s no stranger to orchestral music herself. In fact, whenever she’s putting a new recording together, she always has an orchestra playing in the background to help get the creative juices flowing.

YouTube

“I get inspired by what the orchestra’s playing and it makes me do other things that I hadn’t thought of until that moment singing with them.”

Michael’s voice takes on a note of almost star-struck awe while he discusses the collaboration on this song, which was included in her album that year, “Partners.”

I kind of marveled at how she still sounds like Barbra, but she’s kind of taking on the character of this great kind of torch singer, and she does it with so much emotion, but every word, she means what she’s saying.

Giphy

And I think that’s the difference between just a singer and the greatest storytellers ever … I think what makes people fall even more in love with her is her ability to tell a story, and I guess that’s the actress within her.

Listen to this spellbinding duet in the  video below, and share with all the Sinatra/Streisand/Bublé lovers in your life.

She said recording a song with her idol Donny Osmond was a dream come true. And last night Susan Boyle realised another of her lifetime aspirations – by performing with the hitmaker in his show in Las Vegas.

The Scottish singer, 51, took to the stage for her very first time in Sin City, at the Flamingo hotel.

The former X Factor contestant wasn’t just treated to sharing the stage with the Puppy Love singer, she also shared a series of warm embraces with him too.

Susan also performed a solo track, which the crowd thoroughly enjoyed.

Ahead of the show Susan was over-the-moon at being in Las Vegas. She told The Express: ‘I can’t put into words how ecstatic I am about this trip.

‘I never thought I’d ever get to Vegas and now it’s happening.’

Having released three multi-platinum selling albums in just three years, SuBo, thought she had done it all until she began recording her fourth album.

She said: ‘Who would have thought that I would have been singing a duet with my hero Donny Osmond.

‘I grew up with the Osmonds – especially Donny. I was thrilled,’ she said of the opportunity.

Susan’s latest studio offering, Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From The Stage, sees her sing her favourite songs from the golden age of film and theatre.

Susan Boyle walked on the 2023 Britain’s Got Talent stage as a special appearance on the final night and stunned fans with an announcement. The Scottish singer, who became famous on BGT in 2009, returned to the show and performed a beautiful rendition of “Les Misérables” alongside the West End cast.

Boyle’s performance was absolutely brilliant, as expected. However, the true shock of the evening came when she revealed that she had suffered a stroke last year. The 62-year-old singer shared this news with the show’s hosts, Dec Donnelly and Ant McPartlin, expressing her joy at being able to return to the stage after fighting hard to regain her voice.

One commented, “The most memorable moment of the final seeing Susan Boyle performing again. I can still remember the looks on the judges faces when she came on back in 2009 and the surprised/stunned look when she sang. Good to see her back and wishing you a healthy return after your stroke.

Boyle’s unforgettable performance of “I Dreamed a Dream” captivated audiences when she first sang it on the show “Britain’s Got Talent” several years ago. After her triumphant return to the stage, Simon Cowell, the show’s creator, praised Boyle and acknowledged the challenges she faced with her health, emphasizing that the show wouldn’t have been the same without her.

According to sources, after experiencing a stroke, Susan Boyle underwent rigorous vocal coaching and worked hard to regain clear speech. The health scare left her with muscle weakness, a dropped face, and slurred speech on one side. Despite the challenges, Boyle’s determination and effort over the past year paid off, enabling her to make a triumphant return to the stage and perform the song that marked the beginning of her musical journey.
