An estimated 20,000 people - a record-sized crowd for the Today show - watched Lady Gaga sing live from New York’s Rockefeller Center morning.
Although the patient “Little Monsters” - some waiting as long as 33 hours - had to endure some rain, Gaga’s performance made their efforts worthwhile. The 24-year-old’s set included a mashup of “Someone to Watch Over Me/Bad Romance,” “You and I” (a new tune she recently performed for Elton John), “Alejandro” and “Teeth.”
You can watch all four numbers after the jump.

VIDEO: Pregnant Alicia Keys Falls on Stage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, R&B / Soul,
“Fallin’” isn’t just something Alicia Keys sings about. During a performance Saturday night, the 29-year-old worried a crowd in New Orleans when she stumbled backward on stage.
Although falls during concerts seem to be commonplace these days, this incident was slightly different. Alicia is currently expecting her first child with fiance Swizz Beatz.
Fortunately, Keys - who managed to keep on performing without missing a beat - and her unborn child are both reportedly fine.

Glee’s Charice Takes on Shania Twain Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Covers,
If you don’t regularly watch Oprah Winfrey or Ellen DeGeneres, there’s a very good chance you don’t know who Charice is. But if you’re a fan of Glee, you soon will.
Next fall, the YouTube sensation from the Philippines will join the hit FOX show in a recurring role. It’s been reported the 18-year-old will play a talented foreign exchange student who brings out the jealousy in Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).
After hearing Charice cover Shania Twain’s “Still the One,” I wouldn’t be surprised to see other Glee characters green with envy as well. I only wish Twain could have heard a performance like this one when she mentored American Idol.

VIDEO: Lenny Kravitz’s Impromptu Church Choir Performance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Rock,
This has got to be one of the coolest things we’ve seen in a while.
A Lewisville, Texas choir recently got a nice surprise during their trip to New Orleans. While performing Lenny Kravitz‘s “Fly Away,” the First Baptist Church members attracted a nice crowd - and an appearance from the artist himself.
Lenny, who just happened to be in the area having a drink, heard the music and simply decided he wanted to join in. Fortunately, the Voice of Praise choir singers realized who he was!

Chris Brown Cries for Michael Jackson…or Career?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Performances, Videos, R&B / Soul,
Last night, Chris Brown took one good look at the man in the mirror and what poured out was genuine emotion - or was it?
During his tribute to Michael Jackson at yesterday’s BET Awards yesterday evening, Brown proved he could really dance like Michael Jackson. Rihanna’s ex also tried proving he was sorry at the same time.

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Performs Brand New Song
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Performances, Videos, Pop,
UPDATE: Lady Gaga said in a tweet that the song was “written in NY on the piano” she grew up on.
It wouldn’t be an authentic Lady Gaga performance if the singer didn’t do something to keep the audience on their toes.
During the recent 12th Annual White Tie & Tiara Ball, Gaga chose to introduce a song no one had ever heard before. The record, titled “You and I,” was perfectly suited for an event benefitting the Elton John AIDS Foundation. (Couldn’t you just imagine those two artists playing it together at their own pianos?)
Although Gaga said she didn’t think the “rock ‘n’ roll tune” would ever be released as a single, I actually think it could do quite well. What do you think?

Matthew Morrison Goes Somewhere Over the Rainbow with Leona Lewis
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Collaborations, Performances, Videos,
We may be used to seeing guest stars on Glee, but we’re not quite used to seeing this.
Wednesday night in London, singer Leona Lewis welcomed a surprise guest onstage during her concert at O2 Arena: Matthew Morrison. The actor, who is currently in the area working on his solo CD, joined Lewis for a rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Followers of the show know quite well this isn’t the first time Matthew has taken on the classic song. Gleeks recently saw Will Schuester perform it with Puck (Mark Salling) during the season finale. (In the event you missed that cover, you can watch it after the jump.)

VIDEO: Crowd Angered by Canceled Drake Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Performances, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Note to promoters everywhere: Never underestimate the size of a free concert—especially when it involves a former Degrassi star. In particular, a Degrassi star now known as Drake.
On Tuesday, an event promoted by Paper magazine was called off by police before it even started. The reason? Too many people and not enough security. Although organizers predicted approximately 10,000 to watch Drake - and Hanson - perform, the crowd was more than twice that size. It was estimated that nearly 25,000 showed up at Pier 17 on Manhattan’s South Street Seaport.
