Elton & Lady Gaga to open the Grammys

cameras roll. Check out the photos--they're wearing remarkably similar
eyewear, even if Elton's lack antennae. I've often thought Lady Gaga
has stolen Elton's wacky 70s outfits schtick...
This year's Grammy Awards will kick off with a bang as two musical
icons team up for very first time.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the rumors are true:
Elton John and Lady Gaga will sing together on stage for the opening
musical number at Sunday's Grammys in Los Angeles.
A source tells RadarOnline.com that Elton and the Paparazzi singer
rehearsed Saturday afternoon at Center Staging studio near the Burbank
airport, adding that the two sounded "incredible".
Both singers are known for their outlandish styles, but Elton was
dressed in all black and wearing sunglasses while the usually masked
Lady Gaga was dressed casually and in a simple coat.
Elton's people confirmed that the dynamic duo will be the opening act.
This is not the first time John has teamed up with a singing sensation
of a younger generation.
In 2001, he famously performed with rapper Eminem for a Grammys moment
to remember, singing “Stan”.
Lady Gaga is nominated for five Grammys, including Album of the Year
(The Fame Monster), Song of the Year (Poker Face), and Record of the
Year (Poker Face).
The 52nd annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast Sunday on CBS at 8
p.m.

Version #34124 of Your Song...and the Chimney Sweep Look doesn't do
much for Elton--I'm kinda surprised he'd go along with that...
Ah well, off to find a Law & Order rerun...

I'm recording the Grammys and was about to start to watch it but now I think
I'll wait or just skip it. All this hype over another version of "Your
Song"?! If they were going to do an EJ song that would have been the last
one I would have expected them to do. "I Am Your Robot" would have been a
cool choice and one no one ever would have expected.

I thought it was a lot of fun. A perfect matching: two flamboyant
singer/songwriters dressed up and playing dueling pianos.

great. They both sounded great, and despite Lady Gaga's dominance as
an over the top visual performer, the duet, done on a fused 'dual
piano' was somewhat understated for her. In contrasted the opening
Poker Face dance theatrics nicely, and it was nice to see two
musicians opening the show. Elton's voice was strong, and his 'ashes
look' was better than the pink suit he wore at the 2001 Grammys with
Eminem.

I did watch it last night and it was a lot different and a lot better than I
was expecting. I agree that his voice was strong and what they did worked. I
still would have preferred a different song and I'd love to know who
selected it. Maybe it was her. Also, I've had enough of "Poker Face" for a
long time. I think I've heard a hundred different versions of that song
about a million times since it's been released!

I can only underline this. Good performance.

Sans the make-up, their voices sounded great together.

*******************
What did the make-up have to do with their voices?
Does anyone know who approached who to do this collaboration? I'm thinking
it might have been her as she seemed pretty excited at the end and Elton's
obviously had some influence on her.

Nothing, just didn't like it.
