VIDEO: Lady Gaga/Elton John Grammy Performance 2010



The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards opened with a generation-spanning collaboration between Lady Gaga and Elton John featuring remixed versions of both artists’ high-profile songs at dueling pianos and bedazzled eye wear. After the "Pokerface" singer appeared in an emerald crystallized bodysuit singing a slowed version of her card-themed song, a ringmaster announced, "Everyone’s going goo goo for Gaga." Soon thereafter, Gaga reappeared at a piano across from Sir Elton John, both of whom had smeared make-up on their faces. The two outrageous singers did a mash-up of her "Speechless" and his "Your Song" as mannequin arms eerily reached from the musical instrument.

Michael Jackson will be honored with a celebration fit for a king. The Grammys will stage a star-studded tribute to the late legend at this month’s show.

Usher, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, and Carrie Underwood will come together, along with the voice of Michael Jackson, in a performance for the King of Pop at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.
