The Normandy Landings, popularly referred to as “D-Day,” were a part of the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II, and were celebrated for the eightieth time in June 2024. Numerous memorial services have been held in the weeks that have followed, leading up to a major event on June 6th at the British Normandy memorial in Ver-sur-Mer. Along with many other well-known people and politicians, Welsh singing icon Sir Tom Jones participated in the celebrations by passionately performing “I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.”
Even though it was performed as a tribute to Tom’s late wife Linda, the song turned out to be perfect for the D-Day event, giving the celebrations a heartfelt and somber tone. Tom sung of the “honor” he felt to be asked to perform at the event, and his passionate voice gave the song a lot of fire and emotion. “It is a momentous occasion that reminds us of the limitless sacrifices of that campaign,” he wrote on social media amid the beauty.
It was very breathtaking. And King Charles III and Queen Camilla greeted the twenty-three D-Day veterans in attendance. A military piper played on Gold Beach earlier in the day at precisely 7:26 a.m. to signal the start of the commemorations and the beginning of the invasions. Together with Tom Jones’s poignant vocal performance, all of these elements contributed to a powerful ceremony that honored the veterans of the Normandy Landings.
Before the D-Day commemorative ceremony, Tom sang this particular song live and brought many to tears in the audience. In 2022, he spontaneously performed “I Won’t Crumble When You Fall” during an episode of The Voice UK, in response to numerous enthusiastic requests from the audience. Tom’s strong voice reverberated throughout the room as he performed, bringing fellow judge and vocalist Anne-Marie to tears with only the piano providing accompaniment.
Girl Sings So Much Like Elvis, You Can’t Tell the Difference W7ith Your Eyes Closed
This young lady must be grinning down at the rock and roll king. 11-year-old Oslo native Angelica Jordan has captured the attention of viewers all around the world with her amazing talent, which is on display in this viral video.
Elvis Presley’s career peaked in the 1950s, and his influence lives on through a plethora of impersonators, particularly in Las Vegas. But until Angelica, no one has really managed to grasp his soul.
The enthusiasm in the audience is evident as Angelica enters the stage at Fredriksten Fortress and reveals she will be performing an Elvis song. She starts off with the difficult song “Now or Never,” which she manages with amazing maturity. Angelica’s performance precisely hits each note while remaining faithful to the original. Her voice sounds so much like Elvis that it’s incredible that someone so young could have such skill.
At the age of eight, Angelica launched her singing career by taking part in a talent show that attracted viewers from the UK to America. She attends the Oslo Waldorf School and the Oslo School of Music and Performing Arts to hone her skills, and she stays modest despite her notoriety. She is undoubtedly admired by her contemporaries, who see her as a formidable talent.
Even though Angelica achieved success early in life, her hard work and inherent skill made it well worth it. As she develops further and her voice becomes more mature, we look forward to seeing her play live again.
