On Wednesday, Bruce Springsteen took the stage in Manchester, England for his British tour. While looking to entertain the thousands of fans who packed the arena, The Boss took a moment to discuss the current tensions in America surrounding the White House Administration and President Donald Trump. With a video of Springsteen’s speech circulating social media, the President fired back at the singer, causing The American Federation of Musicians to release a statement defending the singer and even Taylor Swift.

Standing by his statements made during the concert, Springsteen made sure to share the full speech on both YouTube and his official website. During the speech, he declared, “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!”

Not stopping there, Springsteen considered the “richest men” to be taking pleasure in the pain of the American people. “In my country, they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society. They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom.”

Not staying silent, President Trump lashed out at Springsteen on his social media platform, declaring, “I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States. Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country.”

Defending the rights of both Springsteen and Swift, Gagliardi concluded, “Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all over members.”

Outside of his comments on Springsteen, Trump once took aim at Swift during the 2024 Presidential election. He wrote, “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’”

Although his take, Swift and Springsteen produced mesmerizing careers that spanned decades and included countless awards. And if that wasn’t enough, combined, the singers sold over 400 million albums.

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.

The singer was dressed to the nines, in a ravishing tuxedo, his makeup–and especially eye makeup–beautifully done. Speaking of beautiful, Adam delivered an exquisitely phrased version of the song, expressing all the longing of an unrequited love that dare not speak its name.

Traditionally, female jazz singers like Dinah Washington have performed the song, But Coward, who was closeted like every other gay person of his generation, wrote a piece full of queer longing. Adam is able to bring it the stage as it couldn’t have been during Coward’s lifetime.

The song is the theme of an upcoming Noel Coward biopic coming out next year to mark the 50th anniversary of the legendary artist’s death.

In an interview with ABC Audio Adam said about recording the classic:

“He wrote it about a man and he was never really able to record it because that would have been too taboo for that time,” Adam said about Coward’s creative intent. “So it’s always been a torch song sung by amazing female vocalists. And when they realized, ‘It’s 2022, we’re going to put this film out,’ they came up with the idea of having a guy sing it as it was really intended.”

“When they asked me to do it, I thought, ‘What a cool opportunity…I haven’t really recorded anything that was sort of jazz-leaning before, but it’s something that I always kind of been interested in,” he noted.

“Mad About the Boy” is the first song Adam released on EastWest Records. The singer recently signed a record deal with the Warner Brothers UK imprint

Next, Adam will play a Halloween themed residency in Las Vegas and a handful of dates on the West coast later this month.

Adam will return to the judges panel for a second season of the UK singing competition, Starstruck.

Currently, Adam Lambert continues to actively pursue his music career, frequently serving as a judge, mentor, and guest performer on various competitions and music shows around the world. Recently, he took on the role of a coach on The Voice Australia 2024.

He’s a chip off the old block.

Like mother, like son.

On the Nov. 27 episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” the Grammy winner shared a video of her son, Remy, 8, warming up the audience before the show by singing Frank Sinatra’s classic “My Way.”

“I planned each charted course/ Each careful step along the byway/ And more, much more than this/ I did it my way,” he sang while Clarkson’s band backed him up and the audience, including Clarkson’s daughter, River, 10, cheered him on.

Clarkson, who shares both kids with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, was a proud mother afterward.

“(He) just walked right in today and said, ‘Who do I need to speak to to sing my song?’ I said, ‘OK, sir,’” she joked. “They’re so fun. I love my kids so much.”

This isn’t the first time one of Clarkson’s kids has shown off the pipes that run in the family. River contributed to her mother’s song “You Don’t Make Me Cry,” from the deluxe version of Clarkson’s 2023 album, “Chemistry.”

“We just loved it and it fit in with the record and she came into the studio and said, ‘Can I sing?’” Clarkson told the 3rd hour of TODAY last year as part of the Citi Concert Series. “And so my producer just took my vocal off completely and just let her sing on the track and she’s just on the whole track. It’s so cute.”

The “Since U Been Gone” singer isn’t necessarily counting on her kids following in her footsteps into the music business, though.

“I’m not going to not push,” she said.

“I’m a parent, whatever you want to do. It’s hard for me to sit here and go ‘don’t do this, it’s a hard industry’ because I’m in it. I do think kids that grow up in it, it’s hard for them not to be inspired by it or want to be a part of it. So I kind of understand that if they do, but also, like, be a teacher or a doctor or anything else.”

Clarkson also brought her kids onstage with her to perform at a concert in 2023.

“It was the most magical thing to be onstage,” she told TODAY last year during the same Citi Concert Series appearance, noting they both “had so much fun.”

Clarkson also joked the kids looked at her like “I was Thor.”

“I felt like I was a superhero to (them). It was the most magical feeling as a parent that they look at you in that way,” she added.

Kelly Clarkson brought her signature charm and humor to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she opened up about her friendly (and often competitive) rivalry with fellow The Voice coach Blake Shelton. Known for their playful banter and on-screen chemistry, Kelly shared some behind-the-scenes moments from their time on the show, revealing just how much fun they have, even when they’re at odds.

During the interview, Kelly and Jimmy joked about the intense battles that take place on The Voice, with Kelly teasing Blake about his often “over-the-top” coaching style. She explained that while their rivalry is all in good fun, there’s always a healthy level of competition between the two. “Blake and I definitely go head-to-head,” Kelly said with a laugh. “But at the end of the day, we’re just trying to make the best show for the audience.”

Kelly stunned the audience by singing the entire song backwards, showcasing her remarkable vocal talent in a completely unique way. Jimmy Fallon, known for his spontaneous antics, couldn’t help but react in awe as Kelly nailed every note, all while singing the lyrics in reverse.
