Michael Bublé did Elvis proud with this performance.

Why Michael Bublé wants fans to know that songwriting is “a big part” of his life – WARM 106.9

As fans can imagine, covering an iconic Elvis Presley song is easier said than done. Not many artists can do justice to some of the King’s greatest hits — but upcoming The Voice Coach Michael Bublé is an exception.

During a 2021 stop in Louisville during his An Evening With Michael Bublé tour, the 48-year-old pulled out all the stops to nail a fantastic rendition of Presley’s “Always on My Mind.” The song is widely regarded as one of Presley’s best, and Bublé’s heart-stopping vocals lent additional emotion to the song’s already-melancholy and lovelorn tone.

Bublé is slated to join The Voice Season 26 as a Coach alongside Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and Snoop Dogg. And he’ll return for Season 27 with fellow Coaches Kelsea Ballerini, John Legend, and Adam Levine (who’s returning after a multi-year break).

Here’s everything to know about “Always on My Mind”

Although Presley wasn’t the first artist to record a version of “Always on My Mind,” his version of the track is by far the most commercially successful and well-known.

The track reached number-16 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and is considered one of Presley’s standout songs of the 1970s. In a 2013 nationwide vote for Presley fans in the United Kingdom, “Always on My Mind” took the number-one spot on the The Nation’s Favourite Elvis Songs countdown television special, beating out countless classic tunes like “Hound Dog” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

Kendrick Lamar noticed a pregnant security guard working tirelessly to manage the crowd

At the heart of every Kendrick Lamar performance is a raw, electric energy that moves crowds and breaks barriers. But at his sold-out Grand National Tour stop in Atlanta last night, it wasn’t just the music that left fans in awe—it was a quiet, life-changing moment that happened offstage. The moment began during the opening set, when Kendrick first noticed a security guard near the main aisle of the State Farm Arena. She was visibly pregnant—perhaps six or seven months along—but moved with the urgency and commitment of someone fully invested in keeping others safe. As fans flooded in, she stood on her feet for hours, calmly directing the crowds, handling rowdy concertgoers, and even helping an elderly fan find her seat without missing a beat. Kendrick saw it all. “He kept glancing over between songs,” one backstage crew member recalled. “You could see the wheels turning in his head. She had this quiet strength that just stood out.” “She Was Doing Two Jobs at Once” Throughout the night, the rapper known for his socially conscious lyrics and unshakable stage presence returned again and again to that part of the crowd. Between “DNA” and “Alright,” he paused to shout out “all the workers keeping this place together tonight,” but it was clear his focus was on her. “She was doing two jobs at once,” another tour staffer said. “Protecting a crowd of thousands and protecting the little life growing inside her. That’s power.” After his final encore—an explosive performance of his recent anthem “Not Like Us”—Kendrick exited the stage, still visibly affected by what he’d seen. Then, without telling the press or the crowd, he made a quiet request: “Bring her backstage. I want to talk to her.” The Backstage Moment That Changed Everything According to multiple sources, the pregnant security guard—identified only as Ayesha, 29—was hesitant at first, unsure if she had done something wrong. But when she stepped into Kendrick’s green room, she found the rapper seated calmly, waiting.…
