Paloma Faith sang for Sir Tom Jones at an intimate gig in London last night (26.08.15).
The 'Can't Rely On You' hitmaker impressed the 'Delilah' singer and thrilled competition winners at the MasterCard Priceless Moments evening at The Savoy Hotel with renditions of Etta James' 'At Last', Sinead O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' and Tina Turner's 'River Deep Mountain High'.
And Paloma, 34, had people in stitches when she introduced the night and joked about being terrible with money.
She quipped: "I'm not very good with credit cards. I don't have them because I don't trust myself. I mean this is all part of me luring you in to a false sense of security.
"So well done MasterCard for taking a risk with someone who's probaby going to go straight to the heart of the matter."
The Hackney born singer is Sir Tom's replacement on the judging panel of BBC One talent show 'The Voice' and although he has slammed the BBC for the "deeply insulting" way in which they axed him, he came out for the gig and wished the petite star well.
She said after the show: "Performing tonight was an incredible experience, from the intimate crowd to the beautiful venue. It was great to be able to create a jazz club atmosphere and perform songs that I wouldn't normally, in relaxed surroundings."

One Direction have won MTV's Hottest Summer Superstar Award for the third consecutive year.
The four-piece boyband - featuring Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson - amassed a total of 94,291,338 votes from members of the public to be crowned the winners of the online poll.
After being announced as the winners, they said: "Hi everybody, thank you so much for voting us in MTV Hottest, we won WOO."
The total number of votes doubled compared to 2014's competition, with 635,824,505 votes being cast in total by fans in an effort to support their favourite acts.
One Direction - who released their first single since Zayn Malik left the band, 'Drag Me Down', last month - were neck-and-neck with Justin Bieber for the majority of the poll, with fierce competition also coming from Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Demi Lovato and 5 Seconds of Summer.
Despite the fact it is the third year they have won the accolade, the group recently revealed they will go on hiatus next year, meaning they may not have the same success in 2016.
Confirming the news, Niall tweeted: "We are not splitting up, but we will be taking a well earned break at some point next year
"Don't worry though, we still have lots we want to achieve ! Can't wait for you to hear all the new music we have for you and to perform (sic)."
The full list of winners will be revealed in 'MTV's Hottest Summer Superstar: The Results' which will be broadcast at 1pm on Saturday (29.08.15) on MTV Music.

Tyler, The Creator has been banned from the UK.
The 'Yonkers' musician has been prevented from entering the country due to his controversial lyrics, which is why several of his shows including appearances at Reading and Leeds Festival have been cancelled.
He tweeted: "BASED ON LYRICS FROM 2009 I AM NOT ALLOWED IN THE UK FOR 3-5 YEARS ( although i was there 8 weeks ago) THAT IS WHY THE SHOWS WERE CANCELLED.
"*listens to last three releases in confusion* (sic)."
The 24-year-old rapper has been defended by his manager Christian Clancy, who confirmed he had been banned but insisted the songs were written a long time ago, appearing on releases in 2009 and 2011, so claims Tyler doesn't deserve to be punished now.
Writing about the news on his tumblr account, he explained: "tyler has been banned from entering the UK for somewhere between 3 to 5 years per a letter from the secretary of state for the home department of the united kingdom. the letter specifically cites lyrics he wrote 6-7 years ago for his albums bastard and goblin - the type of lyrics he hasn't written since ... highlights from the letter include that his work "encourages violence and intolerance of homosexuality" and "fosters hatred with views thats seek to provoke others to terrorist acts."
"to say that i am confused would be an understatement. can you imagine being beholden to things you said when you were 18? tyler has been to the UK over 20x in the last 5 years without incident.
"more importantly, this is a broader issue of free speech, with new lines being drawn that include reaching back in time without acknowledging growth. in fact, punishing growth. what i do know is tyler is part of an argument that is counter to who he has become. how do you punish someone for growing up? since the letter acknowledged he was writing from an alter ego perspective does this then apply to book writers?

Beyonce's sixth album will be "heavily urban".
The 33-year-old star's self-titled fifth record stormed the charts after its surprise release in 2013 but the 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker is now preparing to ditch pop in favour of songs with a more "urban" sound.
A source shared: "Studio bosses were keen for Beyonce to have another big pop record. They wanted more hits like 'Drunk In Love' and 'Pretty Hurts'. But Beyonce is fully in control of this release and decided she wanted a heavily urban record."
It was previously reported that Beyonce was set to release a joint album with her husband Jay Z but plans are now said to have been put on hold.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper: "She worked on it [her new record] with the likes of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Plans for an album with Jay Z are now on the back burner."
Noel 'Detail' Fisher - who produced Bey's hit single 'Drunk In Love' - previously claimed he was working on a project with her and Jay which was to be released later this year.
He said at the time: "I'm working with a couple of new projects that I don't want to unveil, and then me and Beyonce and Jay are actually doing something together this year. When you think of Jay and Bey together, you think 'album'. You should already know."

Jackie Jackson wants to work with Zayn Malik.
The Jacksons member believes the hunk has a "special spirit" and is keen to collaborate with him on his debut solo record after recently meeting him in Las Vegas.
He explained: "Zayn has a special spirit, we met in Vegas and talked.
"He is here (in America) because he is recording his album.
"I told him I'd like to help out. I'd like to work on the record. He told me how he listened to our music all the time."
The 64-year-old musician continued to say he also likes Zayn's old band One Direction, as they remind him of his success as a youngster in The Jackson 5.
He said: "One Direction are a great act and like us when we started.
"We are always being told by English bands that we, The Jacksons, started them. There were thousands of fans camped out at Heathrow screaming our names, that's what One Direction get now."
Jackie - who is the older brother of the late Michael Jackson - will perform with his brothers at Proms in the Park and Bestival in September and claims the 'Thriller' hitmaker will be with them on stage in "spirit".
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Michael's spirit will be there with us on stage.
"We like to look forward and look back at the best times."

Jess Glynne wants to work with Niall Horan.
The 'Not Letting Go' hitmaker has revealed she would love to collaborate with the 'Night Changes' singer now it has been confirmed the chart-topping boy band will be taking a break next year.
She said: "I love One Direction. I'd probably work with Niall. I had some jokes with Niall. He's such a funny guy. I've also met Liam [Payne]. He's lovely actually.
"Oh and I've met Zayn [Malik]. He's cool. He's really good-looking but he looks too much like my cousin!"
And the 25-year-old star is also setting her sights on collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Mark Ronson.
She gushed: "I'd love to work with Snoop Dogg or Dr Dre. Dre's album is amazing. I'm obsessed with it at the moment.
"I also love Mark Ronson. He's such a talented guy. If I could, I would."
However, Jess has admitted she finds fame "overwhelming and so amazing" but says she couldn't be "more grateful" for all her success.
Talking to KISS FM, she said: "It's so overwhelming and so amazing. I couldn't be more grateful. When I got the phone call the other day, I burst into tears. I was just so shocked.
"And I know people must think 'how are you shocked?', but I think the past week has been the first week it's all hit me. Like genuinely, just slapped me in the face and I've gone, 'Oh my God, this is actually happening.'"
Jess Glynne will be performing at the KISS Haunted House Party on 29th October alongside Rita Ora. Head to www.kissfmuk.com for tickets

Justin Bieber will sing at the MTV Music Video Awards.
The 'Where Are You Now' hitmaker has announced he's "back" and confirmed he'll perform his new track titled 'What Do You Mean' from his forthcoming LP at the event at Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater on Sunday (30.08.15).
The popstar revealed the news on social media and posted a picture of his pal Miley Cyrus - who is hosting the awards - with two pictures of his face covering her chest.
He captioned the image: "Only @mileycyrus. Lol. It's true. I'm performing on the #vmas #biebersback (sic)"
Justin, 21, has been absent from performing at the VMAs since 2010 but has recently been working on more new music with Skrillex.
He joins a host of music's finest who will entertain on the night including 'Neon Lights' hitmaker Demi Lovato, Pharrell Williams, hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, rapper A$AP Rocky and American duo Twenty One Pilots.
Pharrell also expressed his eagerness to perform, saying he "can't wait" to take to the MTV stage.
He tweeted: "Can't wait to perform at the #VMAs this year! See you Sunday at 9/8C on @MTV (sic)."
Meanwhile, Kanye West will receive the prestigious Video Vanguard Award at the event previously won by Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson and U2.

One Direction made their new album as if it could be their final release.
The band - featuring Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - recently announced they will take a hiatus next year and their producer Julian Bunetta has revealed their fifth studio album, due later this year, was made with their uncertain future in mind.
He explained: "There was a feeling of, 'Well, we're going to take a break, and anything in the world can happen during that time off'.
"It's the first time of there being some uncertainty, of not having things planned out beforehand, since they were 16 years old.
"There was definitely a vibe of making [the album] the best it can possibly be, and knowing it has to last as long as it needs to until we make another record - if we make another record."
Since the news of their disbandment was announced on Sunday (23.08.15), concert ticket retailer StubHub.co.uk has been met with a three-fold increase in demand for tickets ahead of their UK tour in September and October.
And 32-year-old producer Julian teased fans can expect some adult themes on the LP, with one particularly "sexually charged" track set to be included.
He told Billboard.com: "There's a song about losing someone that isn't Zayn [Malik]. There's also a song about the band being on shaky ground and not knowing what the future is.
"There are songs about love, there's a song that is a little more sexually charged. It's all over the map.
"We were having so much fun when we were making this record - going out, having parties, really enjoying ourselves and not taking any day for granted that we got to spend with each other."

Fans want Taylor Swift to present Kanye West with his award at the VMAs.
MTV have announced the rapper will receive the iconic Video Vanguard Award at Sunday's ceremony (30.08.15) and numerous Twitter users are hoping the 'Shake It Off' hitmaker will give him the award, six years after he famously interrupted her acceptance speech for the Best Female Video accolade at the event to insist Beyonce should have won it.
One user, @ODedOnRealityTV, wrote: "@taylorswift13 needs to present Kanye's Vanguard Award or else I'm sad (sic)."
Another, @crazymusicfacts, added: "Kanye is going to receive the Video Vanguard Award? Will @taylorswift13 interrupt him? Or will she present it to him? #Swifties (sic)."
The incident at the 2009 ceremony proved to be a major controversy with President Barack Obama even branding the 38-year-old rapper a "jacka*s" following the stunt.
But while some people have suggested Taylor, 25, could prove she's over the spat by giving him the award, others have suggested she gives him a taste of his own medicine by staging her own interruption.
One man, Rik Anthony, tweeted: "MTV to Award Kanye West the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award on Sunday. I think Taylor Swift needs to interrupt his getting the award."
Charlie Piper echoed the proposal, writing: "Kanye West is getting the MTV Video Vanguard Award. Ooooh, Taylor Swift - this is the moment you've trained for!! (sic)"
And Eymar Antigua added: "Am I the only one who hopes that @taylorswift13 runs up on the stage when @kanyewest receives his MTV award and says "Ima let you finish" (sic)."
