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.

The audience erupted into cheers, swept up by the magic of their duet. As the performance ended, Osmond embraced Boyle once more, leaving fans with a memory to treasure. The clip finishes with him telling the crowd, “That was a treat – thank you, Susan. I love that woman.”

Watch their first performance of ‘This Is the Moment’ in the video below. No matter how much time has passed, their vocals remain incredible. The harmony of their voices captivates audiences both onstage and beyond the screen.

The Voice season 26 finalist Jeremy Beloate’s heartfelt Blind Audition performance of Giveon’s “Heartbreak Anniversary” earned the Memphis native a couple of notches in his belt. He clinched a sought-after four-chair turn and brought coach Reba McEntire to tears. Initially selecting Michael Bublé as his coach, Beloate landed on Team Snoop after losing the three-way Knockout round to fellow finalist Sofronio Vasquez. Now the season is drawing to a close, with Beloate among the Top 5 finalist left to slug it out for the crown. And his performance during Monday’s (Dec. 9) finale episode further demonstrated why the 25-year-old is at the top of so many viewers’ lists.

Jeremy Beloate Could Win ‘The Voice’

The Voice viewers will unmask its season 26 winner during Tuesday’s (Dec. 10) Part 2 finale episode. Jeremy Beloate is the lone Team Snoop representative in the Top 5. “He’s an exceptional vocalist, and I’m so happy for him,” the “Gin and Juice rapper told ExtraTV. “I think he’s going to do his thing tonight.”

He did his thing, indeed, with an electrifying performance of “What the World Needs Now Is Love” by Jackie DeShannon.

Later in the night, Beloate followed with another epic performance of “Dancing on My Own” by Calum Scott and Tiësto.”

 

Kelly Clarkson returned to The Voice briefly to perform during the season 26 finale, but fans are calling for her to return to her big red chair. She stunned during the finale with her new holiday single “You for Christmas,” which had everyone getting in the holiday mood.

Taking to the elaborate Christmas-themed set, Kelly Clarkson wowed the audience with her signature vocals. Fans on social media praised her voice and her outfit, with one fan noting that she “never disappoints.” Another wrote, “sing the damn song KELLY!” She hit some incredible high notes at the conclusion of the song, earning her a standing ovation.

Some fans on Instagram commented, “Who else [hopes] Kelly will be back on The Voice soon?” while another wrote, “I miss you on the voice.”

Despite fans wanting her back on The Voice, Clarkson most likely will not return in any official capacity. She’s been hosting her successful daytime show since 2019 and celebrated five years of the show this year. Additionally, she’s previously stated that she wouldn’t return as a coach, but seemingly has no qualms about revisiting her old job for a little fun.

Rising star Myles Smith also performed his breakout hit “Stargazing.” Riley Green and Ella Langley, known for their runaway hit “You Look Like You Love Me,” performed Green’s song “Don’t Mind If I Do.” Additionally, coach Snoop Dogg and Mega Mentor Sting took the stage together to perform their new single, “Another Part of Me.”

Finally, the four coaches will also perform duets with their contestants. This is a staple of The Voice finale when the Top 5 get to show off their skills alongside their adoring coaches.

While stomach cancer can develop silently in its early stages, it is important to note that many of the early symptoms are non-specific and can be caused by various other conditions. In addition, stomach cancer is often diagnosed at a more advanced stage when symptoms become more noticeable. However, if you experience persistent or worrying symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation. Some possible early signs of stomach cancer may include:

Indigestion or heartburn:
Persistent indigestion or heartburn that does not improve with over-the-counter medications may be a symptom.

Anorexia:
Significant and unexplained loss of appetite may be an indicator of various digestive problems, including stomach cancer.

Unexplained weight loss:
Unintended weight loss, without a change in diet or physical activity, may be a warning sign.

Discomfort or pain in the stomach area:
Persistent discomfort, pain, or feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen, even after eating small amounts, should be evaluated.

Vomiting and nausea:
Persistent nausea, vomiting, or blood in the vomit may be associated with stomach cancer

Feeling bloated after eating:
Persistent bloating or feeling of excessive fullness after meals should be treated, especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms.

Difficulty swallowing:
Difficulty swallowing or a feeling that food is stuck in the throat may be related to stomach cancer, especially in advanced cases.

Tired:
Unexplained and persistent fatigue, weakness, or low energy levels can be associated with various medical conditions, including stomach cancer.

It is important to realize that these symptoms can also be caused by other, less serious conditions. However, if you notice persistent or worsening symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare professional. Diagnosis of stomach cancer often involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, imaging tests, endoscopy, and biopsy.

Regular health screenings, especially for individuals with risk factors such as a family history of stomach cancer, H. pylori infection, or certain genetic conditions, are critical for early detection and intervention. If you are concerned about your health or are experiencing symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation.

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without the incredible music of Amy Grant. With three Christmas albums to her credit, the award-winning singer has become synonymous with the holiday. Her annual Christmas tours are one of the biggest draws of the season, especially when she shares the stage with her famous husband, Vince Gill.

The couple, who were each married to someone else when they first met, knew that they had something special when they first stepped into the studio together in 1993 to sing “House of Love.”

 

Hallmark Star Breaks Silence Over Online Backlash

 

“I think that a part of me loved him instantly,” Grant says. “I felt like I knew him instantly. I was so moved by him as a human being that I went up behind him and just hugged him as hard as I could while he was singing. I just said, ‘I just needed to hug you all night.’”

The feeling was mutual as Gill wrote his song “Whenever You Come Around,” for Grant.

“This is a song that was inspired by a smile that I saw for the first time on the face of a woman that I’d never met. That was Amy Grant back in 1993. I was so inspired, moved by the sight of that smile, that I came home and wrote this song,” Gill said.

For seven years after their meeting, the couple fought their feelings for each other and remained faithful to their spouses. But, ultimately both would end up divorced, and in 2000, Vince Gill and Amy Grant married.

In one of the few video clips of the two together before they married, Vince joins Amy to sing her wildly popular Christmas hit “Tennessee Christmas” during a 1993 Christmas with Vince Gill concert in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the chemistry is undeniable. See for yourself in the video below.

In 2016 a tribute concert called “The Life & Songs of Kris Kristofferson” was held in Nashville to honor Kris Kristofferson’s colorful legacy and line of work. Eric Church, Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, and Rosanne Cash were just a few of the artists playing that night. That being so, all performances were phenomenal. However, Reba McEntire’s performance of “Me and Bobby McGee” became one of the more notable performances of that night.

Kristofferson and McEntire’s relationship goes far back, and it shows as Reba took to Instagram to pay tribute to the artist following his death on September 28. Reba wrote, “What a gentleman, kind soul, and a lover of words” and “Rest in peace, Kris.” Given their history, Reba’s performance at the tribute concert aimed to honor her longtime friend and musical counterpart.

Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee”

Reba’s selection to perform Kristofferson’s hit song wasn’t random. Instead, Reba’s motives were incredibly deliberate and sharp. She said on CMT, “It’s been a favorite of mine for many, many years” and “It’s just a gypsy song, and I’ve just always really thought myself a gypsy.” Furthermore, she closed out her statement by simply saying, “I love that song.”

It seems both Kristofferson and the fans in the audience did as well, given that Reba’s performance was a complete transformation of the song. Kristofferson’s version was slow and cerebral, and Reba’s was fast-paced, heart-nosed, and aggressively encompassed both rock ‘n’ roll and country. Despite completely changing the song, Reba still paid tribute to the late Kristofferson with her passionate performance and kind words.

Reba and Kristofferson’s Duet

In addition to Reba’s major changes, she also made it into a duet. Of course, the duet was with Kristofferson, but by doing so she seemingly got his stamp of approval and gave fans exactly what they wanted. Even if you’re a Kristofferson pursuit and hate re-imagined versions of his songs, you can’t help but see the fun of this cover.

Lastly and given his recent passing, it’s quite heartwarming to see how highly regarded Kris Kristofferson was in country music through his tribute show. Furthermore, to see him with Reba reminds fans of his jubilant and contagiously fun personality. In light of this dismal music news, this video will surely lift one’s spirits amid the tragic passing of Kris Kristofferson.

On October 19, 2022, Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson had a heartwarming reunion on her talk show, bringing back fond memories of their days on American Idol. The two powerhouse vocalists were joined by Michael Orland, their former pianist from the show, setting the stage for a spontaneous musical moment.

With their combined talent, it was the perfect chance to treat the audience to a captivating duet that left everyone in awe.

Without any prior rehearsal or experience in opera, Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson gathered around the piano and surprised the audience with a stunning rendition of the classic aria “Nessun Dorma.” Their impromptu performance stunned the crowd, showcasing their vocal prowess and ability to tackle even the most challenging pieces.

Their performance continued with a fun twist. Both Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson reminisced about their first auditions on American Idol—Jennifer sang an Aretha Franklin song, and Adam went with a Queen hit.

To mix things up, they decided to swap artists. Jennifer took on Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” hitting higher notes with each line. Meanwhile, Adam showed his soulful side by performing Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.”

The audience couldn’t contain their excitement as the singers delivered flawless performances as they cheered and applauded. Online reactions were equally enthusiastic, with viewers expressing awe over both artists’ impressive vocal abilities and range.

One fan commented, “Jennifer Hudson has a beautiful talent!! And Adam … there’s really no voice that compares. Always so gorgeous.”

Another added, “Two all time great singers, a rock singer and an R&B singer doing opera with no rehearsal and having to pick up the key as it is being played. And they can do that?!! Wow.”

President-elect Donald Trump said he will not try to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, whose term runs through May 2026.

In an exclusive interview with “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker, Trump said, “I don’t,” when asked if he plans to cut short the central bank chief’s term.

“The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, said he will not leave his post even if you ask him to. Will you try to replace Jerome Powell?” Welker asked during the interview at Trump Tower in New York City.

“No, I don’t think so. I don’t see it,” Trump replied. “But, I don’t — I think if I told him to, he would. But if I asked him to, he probably wouldn’t. But if I told him to, he would.”

Welker followed up, “You don’t have plans to do that right now?”

“No, I don’t,” Trump said.

Trump appointed Powell, a Republican and a former private equity executive, as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in February 2018. Soon after, during a dispute about interest rates, Trump floated removing him.

The two clashed several times during Trump’s first term, with Trump threatening to fire him on repeated occasions. In 2022, President Joe Biden reappointed Powell to a second four-year term.

Powell has offered a sharp “no” to recent questions over whether he would leave his post early to allow Trump to pick a replacement sooner. He has also said he does not believe Trump can fire him. “Not permitted under the law,” Powell said at a postelection news conference.

The relationship between Trump and Powell will be closely watched as Trump returns to office. Trump lashed out at Powell during his first term, arguing that he was not moving quickly enough to ease monetary policy.

Trump swiped at Powell again in March 2020, at the start of the pandemic, telling reporters that he had the “right to remove” Powell from the post and criticizing what he said were “a lot of bad decisions, in my opinion.”

Trump has lately argued that the president should have the power to weigh in on interest rate decisions, which are made by the Fed.

“I don’t think I should be allowed to order it, but I think I have the right to put in comments as to whether the interest rates should go up or down,” Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News at the Economic Club of Chicago in October.

Years before the music producer shot and killed Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003 — for which he was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison, where he died — Spector pulled a gun on the “If I Could Turn Back Time” singer when she confronted him for releasing music she recorded without her permission.

He knew “he couldn’t pull that shit with me,” Cher told Yahoo Entertainment of the 1974 incident.

Cher had known Spector for years, having first met him in 1962 when she was 16. She detailed in her new book — Cher: The Memoir, Part One — that after leaving Sonny Bono, she was hoping to take her solo music to a new level and she reconnected with the “Wall of Sound” creator. At the time, Spector was producing John Lennon’s Rock ‘N’ Roll — a cover album with songs from the late ’50s and early ’60s — and asked Cher and Harry Nilsson to sing background on it.

When they got to the studio, the former Beatle was storming out after a disagreement with Spector. Not wanting to waste thei time, Spector asked Cher and Nilsson to lay down vocals for a Martha and the Vandellas song called “A Love Like Yours” that Lennon could listen to later and learn from. It wasn’t supposed to be released because Cher and Nilsson were under contract with different record companies.

Fast forward a few weeks when Cher got a call from her label saying Spector illegally released the recording in Europe, which was a violation of her contract. Her friend drove her to Spector’s L.A. home to confront him. She said she greeted him with a hug but asked what he was thinking because it was clearly in violation of her contract. She said Spector became agitated and told her that he could do whatever he wanted.

Cher claimed Spector then picked up a revolver she hadn’t noticed on a pool table and twirled it on his fingers. Furious, she said she unleashed a verbal tirade on him, warning him not to mess with her or her music again. She said Spector apologized and she got the heck out of there. In the car, she recalled the troubling scene to her friend but felt he did it for show, not to hurt her.

Asked if she had ever told that story before putting it in her book, Cher said, “Well, to friends, but not to people. What would I do — just go around telling that story?”

The reason he stood down, in her mind, was “because I knew him when he was young and when he was kind of crazy,” she said. “I think he was 21 or 22 and I was close to him in the strangest kind of way because I didn’t take shit from him. I just didn’t.”

Cher met Spector, who was a self-made millionaire by age 21, for the first time through an early boyfriend, Nino Tempo, a singer and musician who worked for Spector at Gold Star Studios. From day one, when they were first introduced in 1962, she didn’t take his crap.

“I met him with his best friend [Tempo] and the first thing he said to me [in French] was: ‘Would you go to bed with me?’” she recalled.

Cher said Spector didn’t think she’d understand his uncouth proposition or have an answer, but she shot back — also in French — “Yes, for money.’ And from then on, we had this really strange relationship.”

Their lives intersected again soon after when Cher started dating Bono that same year. He worked on Spector’s production team and would bring Cher to the studio with him and she never put up with Spector’s nonsense.

“Sonny used to get so upset because he’d say, ‘Please, please, don’t do this. He’s my boss,’” Cher said. “But it didn’t stop me.”

Spector ultimately gave Cher her first musical break. When singer Darlene Love missed a recording session in 1963 when her car broke down, Spector asked Cher to fill in as a background singer. It was her first time stepping up to a mic, and while she almost fainted, she became a regular backup singer for him after that. She went on to become a Grammy, Emmy and Oscar winner.

In February 2003, Clarkson — a model and actress with bit parts in Scarface and Fast Times at Ridgemont High — was fatally shot at Spector’s home.

A nightclub hostess at the House of Blues in L.A., she met the producer and agreed to go to his mansion in the L.A. suburb of Alhambra for a drink. An hour later, at 5 a.m., Spector’s limo driver said he heard a gunshot and saw Spector exit the house holding a gun. Spector allegedly told the driver: “I think I just shot her.” Clarkson’s body was found in the foyer of Spector’s home.

Spector later told authorities it was accidental suicide, but he was charged with second-degree murder. He went on trial twice — there was a hung jury in 2007 — and was found guilty in 2009. Both trials included testimony from other women who claimed he threatened them with guns, including veteran music talent coordinator Dianne Ogden, who said he chased her around his house with an Uzi. She ran for her life, to her car, and never saw him again.

Spector maintained his innocence in Clarkson’s death until he died in 2021.

Spector was also accused of abuse by his second wife, singer Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes. She wrote in her 1990 memoir that Spector kept a gold coffin in their basement and told her he would kill her if she tried to leave him. She claimed he kept her locked away in their mansion, subjecting her to psychological abuse, but she escaped barefoot in 1972 with the help of her mother.

“I knew that if I didn’t leave at that time, I was going to die there,” she wrote.
