Jay-Z and ColdPlay gave a solid performance of their hit Lost.
Justin Timberlake and Al Green mixed the old school and the new school and made an interesting mix.
Kanye West and Estelle did American Boy, live. Will this song ever get old?
Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus were amazing singing with just a guitar, no effects, no band. I was surprised how good it turned out!

Apparently a big lawsuit is coming towards Chris Martin and his bandmates. Their hit single Viva La Vida is very similar to Joe Satriani‘s If I Could Fly that he composed in 2004.
As much as I like Coldplay, this comparison is very convincing if you ask me…
Jigga
«Who said da Hov was retiring?»
Just like a vision, Jay Z appeared on the Madison Square Garden stage in NYC singing “I see you jockin’ Jay Z”, right after Kanye West said he wanted to introduce a new beat he had been working on while he was down in Hawaii.
Hova cuts through the vegetables going straight to the meat with his first bars, talking about Oasis’s Noel Gallagher who tried to diss him during the Glastonbury Festival last June. “That bloke from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar/Somebody should have told him I’m a f*****’ rock star!” And Jigga went on, dissing Oasis’s song “Wonderwall”.
The head of the ROC had been chosen as a headliner by the producers of the UK festival to attract a younger crowd. Amy Winehouse as well as Lupe Fiasco were among the artists invited.
Although Coldplay was not selected to participate, their lead singer Chris Martin disagreed with Gallagher, calling Jay Z “the best musician on the planet” and stating that Jigga’s presence was necessary to revive the event which is losing in popularity every year.
Well, we’re glad to know that even rock artists acknowledge that Gallagher is indeed a hater.
As for the actual release of Jay Z’s upcoming album, no specific date has been revealed.
