It was a wedding no one dared to predict, yet one that now feels written in the stars.

Under the golden sun of Capri, Italy, two icons—Sir Tom Jones, the Welsh powerhouse of soul, and Priscilla Presley, the timeless muse of rock ‘n’ roll royalty—tied the knot in a ceremony as surreal as it was sublime. And as if the occasion weren’t already steeped in history, emotion, and legacy, Adam Lambert stepped onto the stage to deliver a moment so profound, the Mediterranean breeze itself seemed to pause.

Dressed in an elegant white silk suit embroidered with green vines—a nod to the lush theme of the event—Adam Lambert stood barefoot on a rose-strewn terrace overlooking the sea. He wasn’t just a guest. He was the voice chosen to bless the couple with a song that meant everything: “Green Green Grass of Home.”

The classic ballad, immortalized by Tom Jones in the 1960s, had long been associated with longing, homecoming, and remembrance. But on this day, it became a hymn of renewal. With the sky streaked in gold and violins gently murmuring behind him, Adam’s voice soared—rich, haunting, and reverent. He didn’t imitate Tom; he honored him, with a velvet depth and theatrical soul that brought many in the crowd, including Sir Tom himself, to tears.

Priscilla, radiant in a flowing pale blue gown reminiscent of old Hollywood grace, clutched her new husband’s hand as Adam sang. At the final verse—“Yes, they’ll all come to meet me”—Tom turned toward her, kissed her hand, and whispered something only she could hear. Cameras may have caught it, but only their hearts knew what was said.

The guest list was a constellation of stars: Elton John, Rod Stewart, Lisa Marie’s children, and even whispers of Bono sipping limoncello in the back. Yet the moment belonged to three people: the groom, the bride, and the man who sang their love story into legend.

Sources close to the couple say the idea to invite Adam came from both Tom and Priscilla. “They see him as the bridge between generations,” one insider shared. “He’s part Elvis, part Tom, but completely himself. Who else could carry that song in front of its original voice—and make it feel brand new?”

As the sun set and the applause echoed across the cliffs of Capri, Adam bowed humbly, then stepped aside as the couple shared their first kiss as husband and wife.

In a world where headlines are often fleeting, this moment will linger: a legendary song, sung by a modern legend, for a love story that defied decades, distance, and even disbelief.

Reba McEntire makes dreams come true.

On the season 26 premiere of The Voice on Monday, Sept. 23, the country star pulled an unprecedented move after Kendall Eugene’s blind audition — and it brought fellow coach Snoop Dogg to tears.

After Eugene finished his rendition of Morgan Wallen’s “Don’t Thank Jesus” with no chair turns, the coaches all complimented him and encouraged him to try again on a different season. McEntire, however, instantly regretted not turning her chair.

“I liked everything about it,” McEntire, 69, said, prompting Eugene to say she “should’ve turned.”

“I was going to say that exact same words,” the “I’m a Survivor” singer responded. “I don’t understand why I did not turn around.”

McEntire then announced she was going to make “history” by being the first-ever coach on The Voice to use the Coach Replay button, which allows coaches to change their minds if they don’t turn their chairs during a blind audition.

“We’ve got this new thing this year, that is a Coach Replay button. I’m going to use mine,” she said as she hit her button.

The move brought Eugene to tears instantly — and Snoop was visibly moved.

“Wow! Go give that man a hug,” the rapper, 52, said.

When the camera panned back to Snoop, he was wiping tears from his face.

“I love that song that Kendall was singing. And after the song was over, I felt kind of numb. I knew in my heart I wanted him on my team. I’m so glad, for the very first time we have a Coach Replay button. It’s the second chance for the coaches when we realized we missed this moment,” McEntire said.

McEntire has returned as a coach for the third season in a row after winning with Asher HaVon on season 25.

This time, she’s coaching alongside first-timers Michael Bublé and Snoop, and returning coach Gwen Stefani. In July, the coaches teamed up for their first-ever coach performance together and sang a joyful rendition of the Four Tops’ 1966 hit “Reach Out I’ll Be There.”

Donny Osmond gave his Glasgow audience an unforgettable surprise when he spotted Susan Boyle in the crowd at the Hydro. Without hesitation, he invited the beloved singer to join him on stage for an impromptu duet. The two performed “This Is the Moment,” a song they originally recorded together in 2012, creating a magical moment that left the crowd in awe.

In a heartwarming moment caught on camera, Donny Osmond is seen holding her hand with a warm smile and then her hand with a warm smile. Boyle hesitated briefly before finding her place in the song, before delivering a powerful chorus alongside Osmond.

Known for his kind heart, the “Need a Favor” singer invited a fan to come up and sing a song on the stage with him despite an obstacle. The fan was in a wheelchair and there is no easy way to maneuver a wheelchair through a crowd. So what was the solution? Crowd surfing, of course. Jelly Roll encouraged his fans to help the fan past the guard rails and onto the stage.

“We need to get him to the stage.  Can we get him on the stage? Hold on, we are going to need a lot of help though. We can’t drop the ball on this one . . . this one is big.  All hands on deck right here, boys, I appreciate y’all helping us.  Let’s get him up right here.”

The fans did exactly as Jelly Roll asked, and they gave it their all to help this fan’s dreams come true. Jelly Roll gave the fan a huge hug after he made it to the stage, and the emotion of the moment was enough to make a grown man cry. The fan looked completely shocked that he was on stage with Jelly Roll. You can’t help but smile when you see the complete shock on the gentleman’s face. Jelly Roll started singing his hit song, “Son Of A Sinner,” letting the young man join in on the tune.

This isn’t the first time Jelly Roll went out of his way for a fan.

The singer recently called out a fan who was wearing a shirt honoring their relative who recently passed away, saying “I want to to say rest in peace to CJ. I love you and I’m glad your family’s here. I’m praying for y’all.” A few weeks before that, Jelly Roll stopped one of his concerts to thank a veteran for his service. He told the gentleman that he would never have to buy a ticket to one of his concerts again.

Jelly Roll’s heart of gold is unmatched.

Watch the heart-warming moment the wheelchair-bound fan took the stage in the video below.

Gospel music took center stage tonight on American Idol. Now in its 23rd season, the hit singing competition show aired a 3-hour “Songs of Faith” special in honor of Easter.

In addition to learning the result of the audience votes, the competitors performed worship and gospel songs of their choice. Christian artist CeCe Winans, Idol alum Roman Collins, artist in residence Jelly Roll with Brandon Lake, and gospel quartet The Brown Four also took the Idol stage during the night.

Even judges Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie participated in the special production, each giving a performance of a faith-based song.

Baylee Littrell Performs “Gone Without Goodbye” In Honor Of Easter Sunday

Baylee Littrell, the 23-year-old son of Backstreet Boys singer Brian Littrell, first wowed the Idol judges with an original song during his audition. His success continued during Hollywood Week with another original song, a powerful duet of “Shallow,” and an energetic cover of Pharrell’s “Happy.”

Tonight, as a part of the Top 20, Balyee performed a passionate cover of “Gone Without Goodbye.”

“Gone Without Goodbye” was originally released by his father, Brian Littrell, who is a member of the Backstreet Boys.

Baylee sang his father’s 2006 hit with clear emotion on his face. The song is a tribute to those who lost loved ones without the chance to say goodbye, especially to those affected by the tragedy of 9/11.

In a post-performance interview, Baylee revealed that his mom was supposed to be on one of the flights that hit the Twin Towers in 2001. Some of the moving lyrics are:

“And have you seen my faith?
It can run and it can hide
Jesus, mend this breaking heart of mine
That keeps our love alive

Oh, I can feel the pain
Look into my eyes
But I don’t know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I’d try to turn the world around
So that we could see the face of forever
Stay alive.”

Watch Baylee Littrell perform “Gone Without Goodbye” on American Idol’s Easter Special below! 

In 2010, during the Season 9 finale of American Idol, seven of the show’s winners—Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, and Kris Allen—came together to perform “Together We Are One” as a heartfelt tribute to departing judge Simon Cowell. This performance was a significant moment, honoring Cowell’s impactful tenure on the show.

“Together We Are One” is a song originally written by Guy Chambers, Delta Goodrem, and Brian McFadden for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Delta Goodrem’s rendition became an anthem of unity and inspiration, themes that resonated deeply during the American Idol tribute.

Simon Cowell, known for his candid and often critical judging style, was instrumental in shaping American Idol into a platform that discovered and nurtured musical talent. His departure marked the end of an era for the show, making this collaborative performance a poignant farewell.

The choice of “Together We Are One” underscored the unity and collective gratitude of the winners towards Cowell. Their performance not only celebrated his contributions but also highlighted the sense of community and shared purpose that American Idol fostered among its contestants and judges.

For those interested in viewing this memorable performance, it is available on YouTube:

In a move that’s turning heads across the country music industry, legendary duo Brooks & Dunn have extended a record deal offer to rising star John Foster — a gesture that may prove to be more life-changing than winning American Idol itself.

Just days after Foster finished as the fan-favorite runner-up on American Idol Season 22, country music’s most iconic duo stepped in with a powerful offer: a spot on the prestigious Arista Nashville label, home to stars like Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, and of course, Brooks & Dunn themselves.

 A Country Dream Backed by Legends

According to insider sources, Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks had been closely following Foster’s journey on American Idol, admiring not only his gritty, old-school voice, but also his authentic southern charm and emotional storytelling.

“He’s got that spark we haven’t seen in a while—a little Travis Tritt, a little Randy Travis, but he’s his own thing,” said Kix Brooks in a statement via Arista Nashville.
“We believe in John’s voice, and we want to help him make the kind of country music that lasts.”

The proposed deal would make John Foster one of the youngest rising stars to join Arista Nashville, under the mentorship of two of the genre’s most influential trailblazers.

 From Small-Town Roots to National Spotlight

At just 22 years old, Foster’s journey began in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he grew up singing gospel in church and picking guitar on his grandparents’ front porch.

Throughout his time on American Idol, Foster wowed fans with his raw vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and throwback sound inspired by country legends. His original finale performance, “Back Road Revival,” quickly climbed to No. 2 on the iTunes Country Chart, less than 24 hours after airing.

Though he didn’t take home the Idol crown, Foster’s breakout moment cemented him as one of country music’s most promising new voices.

 A Personal Setback Becomes a Turning Point

But behind the scenes, Foster’s journey wasn’t without struggle.

Just days after the Idol finale, the singer was hospitalized with vocal cord strain and stress-related fatigue, reportedly brought on by the intense pressure and emotional rollercoaster of the competition.

“He was crushed after the show,” a close family member shared.
“He felt like he let people down, like he wasn’t good enough.”

That’s when the call came.

Brooks & Dunn’s offer reached him while he was still recovering, and according to those close to Foster, it lit a fire inside him.

“It gave him hope. It gave him purpose,” a source said. “He told us, ‘If Brooks & Dunn believe in me, maybe I’m meant to keep going.’”

 What’s Next for John Foster?

Negotiations are currently underway, but Foster is expected to officially sign with Arista Nashville by early summer 2025.

Insiders reveal that studio sessions are already being scheduled in Nashville, with Brooks & Dunn playing a hands-on role in guiding his sound and even helping him assemble a songwriting dream team for his upcoming debut EP.Industry whispers hint at a possible duet with Brooks & Dunn themselves, which could appear on Foster’s first major release, slated for early 2026.

 From Idol Runner-Up to Country’s Newest Star

John Foster may not have claimed the American Idol title, but what he’s gaining could be even more meaningful: the backing of two of country music’s most respected legends, a major-label deal, and a future paved with promise.

As fans eagerly await his next move, one thing is clear:
This is just the beginning of something big.

MKY, the stage name of 25-year-old Michael Jimenez from East Los Angeles, has rapidly become a standout contestant on American Idol Season 23. His performances have consistently showcased his vocal prowess and deep connection to his cultural roots.

​

In his audition, MKY delivered a soulful rendition of Smokey Robinson’s “Ooo Baby Baby,” which captivated the judges and audience alike. His performance was so compelling that judge Lionel Richie was moved to dance, and all three judges—Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood—unanimously advanced him to the next round.

During Hollywood Week’s Showstopper Round, MKY took a bold step by performing “Sabor a Mí” entirely in Spanish, honoring his Mexican-American heritage. This heartfelt performance resonated deeply with both the judges and viewers, further solidifying his position as a fan favorite.

MKY’s journey on American Idol is a testament to his talent and authenticity, as he continues to impress with performances that blend classic soul with Latin flair.

Adam Lambert, a devoted Elvis Presley fan, delivered a powerful tribute to the King of Rock and Roll, melting thousands of hearts of ecstatic fans. With his signature vocal strength and commanding stage presence, Lambert honored the music legend in a way that felt both personal and electrifying. His deep admiration for Elvis shone through every note, creating a moment that left fans in absolute awe.

Adam Lambert took on an Elvis Presley classic from 1956, channeling the spirit of early rock and roll with his own bold touch. His powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence made the performance feel fresh while honoring the King’s timeless energy.

The moment he stepped on stage, the crowd was mesmerized, drawn in by his effortless ability to blend nostalgia with modern flair. Every note carried intensity, passion, and a deep respect for the original. With a voice that carried both power and precision, he honored Elvis’s legacy while making the song entirely his own.

His performance struck the perfect balance between old-school rock ‘n’ roll and modern charisma. As the final note rang out, the crowd’s thunderous applause said it all. “Elvis’s music has always been a huge influence on me,” Lambert shared with the crowd. “To be able to stand here and perform his song in front of you all means the world to me.”

Adam’s rendition of “Blue Suede Shoes” has received tons of compliments such as “Adam did not try to copy Elvis. His performance was brilliant. The Elvis impersonators are mostly horrific and insulting to Elvis’s memory” and “Vocal god indeed, and so easy on the eyes. Adam Lambert was the only one that night that gave me the Elvis vibes the way I remember him.”
