Britain’s Got Talent viewers were wowed as a singer took to the stage – with many saying they sounded just like late Queen legend Freddie Mercury.

Mickey Callisto, a full time performer who still hasn’t cracked the industry, left jaws on the floor as he performed Queen’s Who Wants To Live Forever?

The judges and viewers at home were taken aback as he embodied Freddie Mercury in the incredible performance, right down to his air punch.

Alesha Dixon was stunned, saying: “Wow.I was like is this Freddie is this Mickey?

“But whatever it was it was sensational. Your voice is absolutely stunning.”

Bruno Tonioli told the audience that he had worked with Freddie and said Mickey had his ‘mannerisms down to a T’.

Micky, who said he would buy his nan a stairlift if he won, was sent straight through to the next round of the competition which sees the winner perform in front of the royal family at the Royal Variety Performance.

Stunned viewers at home took to X to comment on how much Mickey reminded them of Freddie.

One said: “Chills. I’m a huge Queen fan and this amazing singer is singing a great version of a great song. #BGT #BritainsGotTalent.”

A second wrote: “#BGT Wow! Mickey is sensational! What a voice and great stage presence too.

“Are there no gold buzzers left. He deserves one. He could be in a musical or movie about Freddy.”

A third added: “Im pretty sure that guy isnt real. Wow. Iv never heard anyone sound like Freddie.

“Iv been waiting for someone to sound like him for years. freddie would love this”

A fourth commented: “He even did a Freddie punch.”

Sir Tom Jones, 84, left hardly a dry eye among BBC viewers on Saturday night with his powerful performance at this year’s Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

Singing before King Charles III, Princess Anne, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the nation’s military heroes, Jones rose to the occasion, delivering show-stopping vocals that honored the significance of the event.

The Voice UK judge Sir Tom Jones was one of the first acts welcomed onto the stage by host Adrian Lester, delivering a heartfelt rendition of *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*

Jones had previously performed this emotional track at the D-Day 80 commemoration in Normandy earlier this year, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

During Saturday’s show at the Royal Albert Hall, Jones once again honored the fallen, remaining at his spot on stage, accompanied by the military orchestra. Within moments of his performance, social media lit up with praise for the singer, and several viewers couldn’t help but mention a rather eye-catching detail they noticed during the performance.

Sir Tom Jones received widespread praise from BBC viewers following his moving performance. While many fans were left teary-eyed by his rendition, others couldn’t help but marvel at how Jones, at 84 years old, can still deliver such powerful vocals.

One amazed fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Tom Jones seems to be defying nature. His voice hasn’t deteriorated one iota #RemembranceDay2024.”

Another echoed the sentiment: “Sir Tom Jones still has an incredible voice and looks physically strong and well #RoyalBritishLegionFestivalofRemembrance.”

“Sir Tom Jones sounds amazing considering he is 84 years old. #FestivalOfRemembrance,” a third fan noted, while a fourth added, “Sir Tom Jones, at 84, still sings like an angel. Extraordinary. #RemembranceDay2024.”

Sir Tom Jones shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about his performance.

Meanwhile, fans continued to express their emotions. One viewer wrote, “Watching Tom Jones at the Festival of Remembrance has left me in tears. It’s the first time since my great nanny’s funeral in February that I’ve listened to *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*”

Another fan was equally moved: “I’m in floods of tears after that performance by Sir Tom Jones. He is an absolute legend.”

Sir Tom Jones didn’t directly address the crowd of servicemen, women, or royals during his performance, but he did share his gratitude on Instagram afterward, expressing the honor he felt performing at this year’s festival.

In his post, Jones wrote: “It’s a privilege to be joining the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance to honor the service of past and present military personnel. It is a beautiful, moving show that everyone should see. Tune in at 9 pm.”

Jones wasn’t the only prominent performer in the lineup. The powerful event also featured performances by Jack Savoretti, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Alexandra Burke, Samantha Barks, and Jake Isaac.

In addition, Princess Kate and Prince William were seen sharing tender moments throughout the event, with William reflecting on what he described as “the hardest year of my life.”

The Princess of Wales shared her cancer diagnosis earlier this year and has gradually returned to the public eye over recent months as she continues her recovery.

For Saturday’s event, Kate looked radiant in a sleek black dress, adorned with a single poppy—a notable shift from the usual three she’s worn during past Remembrance weekends.

Throughout the ceremony, William was seen offering comfort to his wife, gently placing a hand on her arm during some of the event’s more emotional moments.

Kate reciprocated with a sweet gesture of her own, affectionately rubbing William’s lower back as they greeted officials.

In 2025, Adam Lambert once again left audiences breathless with his stunning performance of Queen’s emotional ballad “Who Wants to Live Forever,” proving he continues to be the perfect match for the band’s legendary sound. The performance took place during Queen’s global tour stop in London, where thousands of fans filled the arena in anticipation. Dressed in a sleek black suit with subtle glittering accents, Lambert took center stage under a single spotlight as the haunting intro began.

His voice started soft and delicate, slowly building into powerful, soaring notes that echoed through the venue, filled with raw emotion and heartbreaking beauty. Every lyric felt personal, as if he was telling his own story through Freddie Mercury’s unforgettable words. The stage visuals added to the drama—glowing stars, flowing mist, and soft beams of light created a dreamlike atmosphere.

As the song reached its climax, the crowd stood in awe, many with tears in their eyes, overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the moment. Lambert’s connection with the audience was electric, his vocals flawless, and his presence magnetic. The performance wasn’t just a cover—it was a tribute, a declaration of love, and a reminder that Queen’s legacy lives on through his incredible voice and passion.

On Monday, May 26, Blake Shelton performed at the American Music Awards for the very first time. This year’s show took place at Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Hosted by Jennifer Lopez, the show was a star-studded affair that included performances from Gwen Stefani, Gloria Estefan, Reneé Rapp, Benson Boone, Lainey Wilson, and, for the first time, Blake Shelton.

Stefani is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her album Love.Angel.Music.Baby performed a medley of her hits from that album, including “Hollaback Girl,” and a brand-new song from her latest album, Bouquet. 

Shelton has won three AMAs throughout his career, but has never performed at the show. In 2011 and 2016, he won the award for Favorite Male Artist – Country, and in 2020, he won Favorite Country Album for Fully Loaded: God’s Country.

Not only did Shelton perform, but he also presented at the show.

Blake Performed “Stay Country Or Die Tryin’” Off His New Album

On May 15th, the American Music Awards announced Shelton would be making his debut performance.

He performed “Stay Country Or Die Tryin’,” a song from his latest album, For Recreational Use Only, which he released on May 9th. The song was officially released as a single on May 19th, following the massive success of “Texas,” his first single off the album, which eventually became his 30th #1 hit on the charts.

Wearing a red, white a blue ribbon pinned to his front shirt pocket, Shelton brought country to the American Music Awards and was unapologetic about just how country he was during a night full of glitz and glam.

He ended the performance with a salute and pointed to the ribbon, reminding us all what the day is all about, remembering the fallen servicemen and women.

Prior to his performance he shared a message on social media, writing, “Never forget the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for our country and our freedom. Remembering our heroes extra today. #MemorialDay”

We love the Blake took time to recognize what Memorial Day is all about. Watch his performance below.

In a moment of profound emotion and reverence, Dolly Parton stood before a hushed gathering of family, friends, and fellow legends at the funeral of Kris Kristofferson—her voice trembling, her words soaked in both sorrow and gratitude. It was not just a eulogy. It was a final love letter to a friend, a brother in music, and a soul who lived life with poetry in his blood and compassion in his heart.

Dressed in simple black with her signature grace, Dolly approached the podium with eyes full of tears but a heart full of memory.

“Kris wasn’t just a songwriter,” she began softly. “He was a truth-teller. He had the courage to write what the rest of us were too scared to say.”

Her voice cracked as she recounted their earliest days crossing paths in Nashville’s smoky backrooms, where young dreamers sang their truths for nothing more than tips and hope. Dolly spoke not just of his talent—but of his tenderness, his fierce loyalty, and the quiet pain that sometimes lived behind his eyes.

“You could hear the ache in his voice when he sang,” she said, “because he carried the world’s pain like it was his own.”

She smiled through tears as she recalled the laughter they’d shared backstage, the late-night conversations about faith, fame, and why music mattered. Her voice rose with conviction as she spoke of his refusal to compromise, his belief in justice, and the deep love he had for his family.

“Kris lived like a song,” she said. “Messy, beautiful, honest—and unforgettable.”

Dolly’s final words were a whisper, almost a prayer, as she looked toward the sky:

“Rest easy, my friend. You gave us your heart in every line, and we’ll carry your music in ours for the rest of our lives.”

The room sat in solemn silence. Then came the gentle echo of a familiar tune—“Why Me Lord”—played softly in the background as tears flowed freely. There was no applause, only quiet mourning… and the unspoken understanding that an era had ended.

In those few minutes, Dolly Parton didn’t just say goodbye to a fellow artist—she honored a man whose life was lived like a song that refuses to be forgotten.

Dolly Parton, the Queen of Country Music and an enduring symbol of generosity, has once again captured the hearts of millions. In a gesture that has left the world in awe, Dolly has fulfilled her late husband Carl Dean’s lifelong dream by donating $4 million to support the education and development of Nashville’s youth. This monumental act of kindness is not only a tribute to her husband but also a powerful reminder of Dolly’s unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.

As the news of her extraordinary donation spreads, people from all walks of life are hailing Dolly as a true angel on Earth. But the story behind this gift is even more touching—a tale of love, legacy, and the power of dreams that continues to inspire generations.

A Love Story Rooted in Dreams

Dolly Parton and Carl Dean shared a love story that spanned nearly six decades. Despite Dolly’s fame and Carl’s preference for a quiet, private life, their bond was unshakable. Carl, a Nashville businessman, was known for his humility and his deep love for children. Throughout their marriage, he often spoke about his dream of creating opportunities for young people in their beloved city of Nashville.

“He always believed in the potential of kids,” Dolly said in a recent interview. “He used to say, ‘If you give children the tools they need, they can build a future brighter than we can imagine.’ That was his dream, and I promised him I’d help make it come true one day.”

After Carl’s passing, Dolly made it her mission to honor his legacy in a way that would reflect his values and his love for their community. And now, with her $4 million donation, she has done just that.

The $4 Million Gift: Transforming Lives

Dolly’s generous donation is being directed toward a comprehensive youth development initiative in Nashville. The funds will be used to create scholarships, build educational facilities, and provide resources for underprivileged children. The goal? To give every child in Nashville the chance to dream big and achieve their full potential.

The initiative, aptly named “Carl’s Kids,” will focus on three key areas:

Education

1. : Scholarships will be provided to students from low-income families, ensuring that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of their education.

Community Centers

1. : The donation will fund the construction of state-of-the-art community centers where children can access tutoring, mentorship programs, and extracurricular activities.

Career Development

: Programs will be established to help teenagers and young adults develop skills, explore career paths, and prepare for the workforce.

Dolly’s vision is to create a lasting impact that will benefit generations to come. “This isn’t just about giving money,” she said. “It’s about giving hope, giving opportunities, and giving kids the chance to believe in themselves.”

Honoring Carl Dean’s Legacy

For Dolly, this donation is deeply personal. It’s not just about fulfilling a promise—it’s about keeping Carl’s memory alive in a way that reflects his values and his heart.

“Carl didn’t want fame or recognition,” Dolly shared. “But he had the biggest heart, and he cared so much about the kids in this community. He always said that if we have the means to help, we should. And I know he’d be so proud of what we’re doing now.”

To ensure that Carl’s legacy is honored, Dolly has also announced plans to dedicate a statue of him at one of the community centers funded by the donation. The statue will serve as a reminder of his quiet but profound impact on the lives of others.

An Outpouring of Love and Gratitude

News of Dolly’s $4 million gift has sparked an outpouring of love and gratitude from fans, community leaders, and celebrities alike. Social media has been flooded with messages praising her generosity and her dedication to making a difference.

“Dolly Parton is a national treasure,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “She doesn’t just talk about making the world a better place—she actually does it.”

Local leaders in Nashville have also expressed their gratitude, calling Dolly’s donation a game-changer for the city’s youth. “Dolly Parton has always been a champion for our community,” said Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell. “This gift will change lives and create opportunities for children who might not have had them otherwise. We can’t thank her enough.”

Even fellow celebrities have joined in, with many praising Dolly as a role model for kindness and philanthropy. Oprah Winfrey, a longtime admirer of Dolly, tweeted, “Dolly Parton continues to inspire us all. Her heart is as big as her talent, and the world is better because of her.”

The Ripple Effect: Inspiring Others to Give

Dolly’s donation has already begun to inspire others to step up and contribute to the cause. Several local businesses have pledged additional funds to support the “Carl’s Kids” initiative, while individuals from across the country have made smaller donations in honor of Dolly and Carl.

One anonymous donor, moved by Dolly’s story, contributed $500,000 to help expand the initiative’s reach. “Dolly’s generosity reminded me of the importance of giving back,” the donor said. “If she can do so much, the least I can do is follow her example.”

This ripple effect of kindness is exactly what Dolly hoped for. “When we come together as a community, there’s no limit to what we can achieve,” she said. “This isn’t just about me or Carl—it’s about all of us working together to make a difference.”

A Legacy of Giving

Dolly Parton’s $4 million gift is just the latest chapter in her incredible legacy of giving. Over the years, she has donated millions to causes ranging from literacy and education to disaster relief and healthcare. Her Imagination Library, which provides free books to children around the world, has distributed over 200 million books since its inception.

But what sets Dolly apart is not just the scale of her generosity—it’s the sincerity and love behind every act of kindness. She doesn’t give for recognition or accolades; she gives because she truly cares about people and wants to make the world a better place.

“I’ve been blessed in so many ways,” Dolly said. “And I believe that when you’re blessed, you have a responsibility to share those blessings with others. That’s what life is all about.”

The Future of “Carl’s Kids”

As the “Carl’s Kids” initiative gets underway, Dolly is already looking ahead to the future. She hopes to expand the program to other cities, ensuring that more children have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.

“We’re starting in Nashville because it’s home,” Dolly said. “But Carl’s dream wasn’t just about one place—it was about helping kids everywhere. And I’m going to do everything I can to make that dream a reality.”

Conclusion: A Dream Fulfilled, a Legacy Continued

Dolly Parton’s $4 million gift to Nashville’s youth is more than just a donation—it’s a fulfillment of her late husband’s dream and a testament to the power of love, generosity, and community. Through her actions, Dolly has shown us all what it means to live a life of purpose and compassion.

As Nashville’s children begin to benefit from the opportunities created by her donation, Carl Dean’s legacy will live on, touching lives and inspiring hope for generations to come. And once again, Dolly Parton has proven why she’s not just a country music legend, but a true angel among us.

Thank you, Dolly, for reminding us of the power of dreams—and for showing us that even in the face of loss, love can create a brighter future. 

In one of the most moving moments of American Idol Season 23, contestant Jamal Roberts stepped onto the stage during the Top 7 episode and delivered a breathtaking rendition of Sam Cooke’s civil rights anthem, “A Change Is Gonna Come.” But this wasn’t just another performance — it was a deeply personal tribute that struck a chord with millions watching.

Roberts revealed before the performance that the song held a special meaning for him — it was one of his late stepmother’s favorites. Singing it without her in the audience was both painful and healing, and every word he sang was drenched in heartfelt emotion.

 A Son’s Tribute in Song

As the lights dimmed and the first note echoed through the room, Roberts’ voice trembled not from nerves, but from grief, love, and remembrance. He sang with the kind of vulnerability that can’t be taught — the kind that comes from living the story behind the song.

With every lyric, he invited the audience into his pain, his gratitude, and his hope. The result was not just a standout performance — it was a spiritual moment.

Judges and Fans Left in Tears

The judges were visibly emotional, with Luke Bryan wiping his eyes and Carrie Underwood calling it “one of the most honest performances we’ve seen this season.” Lionel Richie added, “This is why music matters.”

Fans flooded social media with praise:

• “Jamal just gave us the performance of the season. I’m crying.”

• “This wasn’t just a song. It was a farewell. A prayer. A promise.”

• “He sang from his soul tonight. That’s what greatness looks like.”

 More Than Talent — A Testament to Heart

Adam Lambert And Lady Gaga Deliver A Soul-Stirring Duet Of “Shallow” – A Moment Of Pure Magic

When two vocal titans like Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga share the stage, the world holds its breath. But instead of going big and theatrical, the duo stunned fans with a tender, stripped-down performance of the emotional ballad “Shallow” – and it was nothing short of breathtaking.

Dressed in coordinated black and white, the pair radiated elegance and unity. Lady Gaga – known for her bold, eccentric fashion – surprised the crowd with a sleek black gown and a classic updo, exuding timeless glamour. Beside her, Adam Lambert brought a touch of refined edge in a tailored white jacket and black trousers.

As the lights dimmed and a single piano note rang out, the two stood facing each other — eyes locked, tension high — in front of a grand piano. Then, Lambert opened the song with the first haunting lines, his voice rich, vulnerable, and soaring.

Two Voices, One Emotion

Gaga joined in softly, her voice delicate and raw. Together, their harmonies built layer by layer, each note filled with aching beauty. There was no need for pyrotechnics or choreography — the emotion in their voices was the entire show.

As they reached the iconic crescendo —
“I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in…” —
the audience sat in awed silence, visibly moved by the sheer intensity of the performance. It felt as though time had stopped.

oment That Transcended Performance

This was more than just a duet; it was a shared emotional journey, a moment of vulnerability between two artists who understand the power of connection. Lambert’s powerhouse vocals complemented Gaga’s emotional sensitivity perfectly, creating a balance that was both haunting and unforgettable.

Fans React: “This Is What Music Is Meant To Be”

Social media lit up moments after the performance ended:

“I’ve never cried at a concert before — that was stunning.”
“Lambert and Gaga just gave us the duet of the decade.”
“Two legends, one piano, and a thousand broken hearts.”

Could A Studio Version Be On The Horizon?

With the overwhelming response from fans, rumors are already swirling about a possible studio release or even a joint acoustic project. Whatever the future holds, this performance has carved itself into music history — a reminder of the raw, healing power of a song when placed in the right hands.

Would You Hit Replay On This Tender “Shallow” Duet — Or Just Let Your Heart Soak In The Silence After Perfection?

Hollywood, California – In a night filled with raw emotion and patriotic pride, John Foster delivered what many are calling the most powerful performance of the season, shaking the stage to its core with the modern American anthem, “Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue.”

With a raspy, commanding voice and a presence that radiated sincerity and strength, John didn’t just perform — he lived every lyric. And then something magical happened: the entire panel of judges, the live audience, and millions watching from home stood to their feet and sang along — not missing a single word.

Carrie Underwood Rises To Her Feet, Singing Through Tears

Amid the sea of emotion, Carrie Underwood — country music superstar and judge — couldn’t hold back. Overwhelmed, she stood up and joined John in song, her eyes glistening with emotion. In that powerful moment, artist, audience, and country became one.

“I’ve never seen anything like that in all my years as a judge. John didn’t just sing — he ignited a fire. He made people believe, feel, and stand proud,” Carrie shared, visibly moved after the performance.

The Foster Family — A Beacon Of Pride In The Crowd

In the front row, John Foster’s family sat glowing with pride. His father clutched his chest, his mother wiped away tears, and his siblings sang along, their faces lit up with overwhelming joy. They weren’t just watching their son shine — they were witnessing a moment where all of America opened its arms to embrace a rising star.

John Foster — More Than A Contestant, A Symbol Of Hope

Not everyone can take on a legendary song like “Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue” and turn it into a living, breathing message of unity and power. But John did exactly that. He made people believe, feel, and sing, not just with his voice — but with his heart.

Final Word: The Crown Is Calling John Foster’s Name

With a performance that was both artistically brilliant and emotionally unforgettable, John Foster isn’t just closing in on the championship — he’s becoming the voice of a new generation: authentic, fearless, and deeply inspiring.

Tonight wasn’t just a show — it was the night John Foster stepped into history.A

Alan Jackson’s Final Bow Brings Tears to Thousands: A Farewell Filled with Love, Legacy, and Lasting Memories

In an emotional night that country music fans will never forget, Alan Jackson took the stage for the very last time on May 17, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as part of his “Last Call: One More for the Road” farewell tour.

With his signature cowboy hat and timeless voice, Jackson performed classic hits like “Remember When”, “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)”, and “Chattahoochee” — each song met with standing ovations and tearful sing-alongs. But it wasn’t just the music that touched hearts — it was the overwhelming wave of emotion that filled the venue.

At one point, Jackson paused, visibly moved, and addressed the crowd:
“This isn’t just goodbye to the stage… it’s a thank you. For 40 years, you’ve given me a reason to sing. And I’ll carry y’all with me forever.”

His wife Denise, seated in the front row, wiped away tears as the crowd chanted his name. Fans of all ages — some wearing shirts from tours decades ago — clutched onto every moment, knowing they were witnessing the end of a musical era.

What made the night even more powerful was Jackson’s vulnerability. Diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a progressive neurological condition, Alan pushed through pain and fatigue to deliver one final show for his fans. It was not just a concert — it was a farewell from a legend who gave country music his soul.

As confetti rained down during his closing number “Drive (For Daddy Gene)”, many in the audience sobbed, knowing this was the last time they’d see the humble Georgia native on stage. But in true Alan fashion, he walked off with a smile — leaving behind not just music, but memories etched in the hearts of millions.
