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.

Keith Urban wowed the audience at a Bee Gees tribute concert with a fantastic cover of ‘To Love Somebody.’ When the song was released, it was described as a “smooth, easy beat ballad” that “should put them right back up there at the top of the Hot 100.”

As Keith Urban sings his cover of “To Love Somebody” from the Bee Gees, a notable audience member sheds a few tears. That person was the legendary band’s lead singer and co-founder, Barry Gibb.

This emotional cover was the crescendo of “Stayin’ Alive: A GRAMMY Salute To The Music Of The Bee Gees.” A night of tribute performances to honor the talented band and its founding member.

And it was not just Keith Urban who appeared for the night. Ed Sheeran, Pentatonix, Demi Lovato, Little Big Town, and Celine Dion contributed. Still, none of those powerhouses hit quite as hard as Keith Urban that night.

For those who are not as familiar with the Bee Gees’ contributions to music, the band of brothers rose to fame in Australia but left an undeniable mark on the global stage.

The Bee Gees grew in popularity with the release of John Travolta’s “Saturday Night Fever.” Alongside hits like “Too Much Heaven” and “Immortality,” many of the songs for the tribute came from that soundtrack.

And even with such a strong setlist, none of the performances compared to Urban’s shiver-inducing cover of “To Love Somebody.” It was made all the more touching as the camera pans across Barry Gibb’s face as he shed a few tears.

It’s rare that you catch Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman performing together. This talented couple, who have been married for years, usually shine in their own individual careers. Fans of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have often wished to see the couple perform together on stage, but they knew it was a rare event.

While they have shared the stage before, the couple is known for their privacy, making joint performances a special and uncommon occurrence. However, when they do join forces for a song, it’s a special treat for fans.

The couple then thrilled fans with a second video featuring their duet of “Female,” a moment many had longed to see. Celebrating the Day of the Girl, this performance was a special treat for those who had never witnessed their musical chemistry live.

Seated together at the piano, Keith Urban kicked things off with a gentle melody. Instead of harmonizing as she did in the studio version, Nicole Kidman sang alongside him, adding her voice to the melody. Their collaboration brought a warm, personal touch to the celebration.

The performance becomes even more special as it was filmed by their two gorgeous daughters, Faith and Sunday. The video was officially shared on Keith’s Facebook and quickly went viral.

Fans showered it with praise like “This is so beautiful, please sing together more often, you sound so good together Keith and Nicole and your daughters do a wonderful job of filming together!”

Another added, “This video is one of the sweetest I’ve seen. Keith and Nicole singing together always brings a smile to my face because I know how shy Nicole is about singing. But her beautiful voice blends very well with Keith’s.”

His son surprised him by learning the song while Bublé was away on tour

Michael Bublé, 47, was left visibly moved as he witnessed his 9-year-old son Noah deliver a heartwarming rendition of his own song, ‘I’ll Never Not Love You,’ on the piano.

In the touching moment from 2022, Bublé shared a video of him singing as his son played the song’s melody, on his Instagram account.

Michael Bublé revealed that Noah had diligently practised the song while he was away on tour, explaining that his son had ‘worked so hard’ to learn the song and was ‘so proud of him’.

The proud father couldn’t help but express his emotion, captioning the post with the words, “More talent in his little fingers than I have in my whole body!”

In the video, Noah can be seen playing the piano as his father sings the lyrics to the song, telling his followers he was ‘getting choked up’ as he sang.

The Instagram video quickly garnered attention from fans and followers, who were equally touched by the loving father-son moment.

One commented, “As a mother to two boys, the look in your eyes fills me with so much happiness. Such pride! His talent and your smile.”

Another shared, “Playing music with your kids is one of the most amazing parts of being a parent. I was playing guitar the other day with my daughter and started ugly crying.”

Adam Lambert performed the live debut of “Mad About the Boy” on BBC’s celebrity dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing on Sunday (Oct 9). The American Idol alum performed a mesmerizing jazz standard version of the Noel Coward song. Pro dancers Nikita Kuzmin and Carlos Gu performed a steamy Argentine Tango as Adam performed.

Sir Rod Stewart’s a certified charmer, but he won the hearts of fans all over again with this sweet moment onstage with his 94-year-old sister Mary. Sir Rod invited his dear sister onstage to rock out to his sentimental classic “Sailing” at a concert in front of Edinburgh Castle. The English icon and his trio of female backup singers were decked out in captain’s uniforms, and he sang his 1975 hit while hugging his sister as she sang along.

Mary was clearly stoked to be up there, and led the crowd in waving along to the beat of the song, as well as conducting the band after a bit of encouragement from her brother. You could see it meant a lot to both Sir Rod and Mary to sing the nostalgic tune together, and everyone onstage wore big smiles throughout. We are always here for a Sir Rod Stewart performance, and this show was certainly a very special one for the English star.

Sir Rod performed his set next to Edinburgh Castle on July 6, 2023, and 602,000 fans tuned in to watch the performance with his sister on YouTube. Fans discussed their bonds with their siblings below the video and showed their appreciation of the performance with comments like “The love between brother and sister brought tears to my eyes, what a lovely guy Rod is” and “This is so sweet. She must be so proud of her little brother and he is very blessed to still have his 94-year-old sister around.”

Sir Rod sure likes to get the fam involved in his concerts. The English rocker created another memorable moment when he invited his daughter Ruby onstage to perform a duet on his hit “Forever Young.” Just like her dad, Ruby is a natural performer, making for a great show. It probably won’t surprise readers to hear that she also inherited her dad’s talent for singing as well. The performance has a real fun vibe, and watching dad and daughter own the stage together is sure to put a smile on your dial.

Gavin Sutherland wrote “Sailing,” and the song was first recorded by his duo, The Sutherland Brothers, for a June 1972 release. The song was a minor hit for the duo but later gained great exposure when Sir Rod released it on August 8, 1975, as the first single from his sixth solo album, Atlantic Crossing. The English star scored an international hit with the single, and it went to number one in the UK, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

On December 14,  Kelly Clarkson joined Garth Brooks on The Kelly Clarkson Show for a heartfelt rendition of “Shallow,” originally performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the acclaimed film A Star Is Born. This performance was particularly special as Brooks was promoting his new album Fun, which features a duet of “Shallow” with his wife, Trisha Yearwood. However, Yearwood was unable to attend, leading Clarkson to step in as an impromptu duet partner.

Their cover of “Shallow” showcased both artists’ remarkable vocal talents, blending Clarkson’s powerful, emotive delivery with Brooks’ rich country tones. The song, which explores themes of vulnerability and yearning, resonated deeply with the audience, amplifying the emotional weight of the lyrics. Clarkson’s vocal prowess and Brooks’ skillful guitar accompaniment created a captivating atmosphere, allowing the song to shine in a new light​.

The performance on the show was not just a one-off; it came after Brooks and Yearwood had already performed the song during Brooks’ Facebook Live series earlier that year. Their connection and chemistry were evident as they navigated the poignant lyrics together, transforming the experience into a memorable moment for viewers​.

Clarkson and Brooks’ rendition of “Shallow” was a beautiful homage to the original while highlighting their individual artistry. The performance not only delighted fans of both artists but also underscored the timelessness of the song’s message​

Got Talent legend Susan Boyle’s been a public music figure for 15 years, and she’s had her fair share of pinch-me moments. There was the time she performed for Pope Francis at the Vatican in 2019. Or when she sang for the late Queen Elizabeth II at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Believe it or not, these instances weren’t even her first brushes with world leaders. In fact, four years before belting her heart out for Queen Elizabeth II, she did the same for King Charles (then Prince of Wales) and Queen Camilla (then Duchess of Cornwall).

Boyle was a featured artist in the annual Royal Variety Performance in 2010. For the occasion, she sang Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”—something she’s mastered before, but this rendition was particularly special. Backed by a children’s choir, Boyle epitomized grace and divinity with each crystal-clear note. Of course, the performance was met with a rapturous applause from the audience, including King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Watch the performance here. 

Susan Boyle: 15 years of music superstardom

It’s been 15 years since Susan Boyle’s viral Britain’s Got Talent Audition, where she sang “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables and completely stunned the world.

“I’ll never forget this,” BGT creator Simon Cowell (who also was a Judge during Boyle’s Audition) said. “I was having a terrible, terrible day, and I remember saying, ‘I really, really hope she’s not gonna sing,’ because there were so many bad singers that day and I thought, ‘I just can’t take another one.’”

“Our expectations were quite low, but she is the perfect example of never judge a book by its cover,” Cowell continued.  “She is just the most incredible person. This was a lady who lived on her own in Scotland, and she came on the show and everything changed. Because up until that point, there was a perception that you had to look this way, or be this age, and she just changed the rulebook. Full stop.”

Adam Lambert returned to the American Idolstage to perform Queen‘s “Bohemian Rhapsody” alongside Season 18 contestant Dimitrius Graham Sunday.

Though they performed a truncated version of the classic track, Lambert and Graham did not skimp on any of the bombast. The pair traded verses early on while Graham did an excellent job anchoring the famous opera section while receiving an assist from a small choir of back-up singers. With digital fireworks blazing in the background, Lambert and Graham roared through the song’s ending before bringing it to a close with the poignant refrain, “Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.”

Lambert famously auditioned for Season Eight of American Idol with “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and on the season finale, he and eventual winner Kris Allen sang “We Are the Champions” alongside Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor. Following a string of solo albums, Lambert reunited with May and Taylor and began touring under the moniker “Queen + Adam Lambert.” The group is set to embark on a North American tour July 10th in Vancouver.

As for Graham, the budding singer made it to the Top 10 of the competition, but was eliminated just before the Queen special, on which Lambert served as a mentor. The finalists for Season 18 of American Idol were Alejandro Aranda and Laine Hardy, with Hardy winning the competition.

Released in 1965, “I Got You Babe” by Sonny and Cher, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and became the anthem of the early hippie movement. Decades later, Adam Lambert and Cyndi Lauper sang this song at an awards ceremony to honor Cher, whose career blossomed glimmeringly.

Adam and Cyndi gave the audience a memorable performance, leaving them in awe. The crowd was instantly captivated, rising to their feet to join in the fun, singing and dancing along. Adam, famous for his soaring high notes, chose to honor the original melody, which made for a beautiful rendition. The enjoyment between the two performers was evident.

It’s interesting to know that Cher was present in the house. Like the audience, she loved this duet so much. The legend was visibly moved, joining the crowd in a standing ovation and cheering enthusiastically for Adam and Cyndi.

This rendition was mesmerizing because it was covered by truly talented singers. At over 60, Cyndi Lauper has been in the entertainment industry for almost as much time as Cher. Her music video for her 1983 song “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” was considered one of the best music videos of that decade.

On the other hand, Adam Lambert, who gained fame as the “American Idol” runner-up in 2009, has rapidly risen to stardom with his dramatic flair and impressive vocal range. He duetted with some pretty big stars like Queen and Rihanna.
