Stars Turn Out For Prince Celebration Show At Carnegie Hall In New York
via contactmusic.com
"Elvis Costello, the Roots and D'angelo came together in New York on Thursday night (07Mar13) to celebrate the music of Prince at a special charity concert.
Bettye LaVette, The Waterboys and comedienne Maya Rudolph's Prince covers band, Princess, also took to the stage as part of the all-star line-up at the Carnegie Hall show, which benefited a number of music-based organisations.
During the evening, Rudolph, who is reportedly pregnant with her fourth child, showed off her moves as she belted out Darling Nikki, Booker T. Jones was joined by Diane Birch and members of a local choir for Raspberry Beret and LaVette rocked out to Kiss.
Soul star Bilal thrilled the crowd with a lively rendition of Sister, comedienne Sandra Bernhard sang Little Red Corvette and singer-songwriter Kat Edmonson captivated the audience with The Beautiful Ones, performing with only a pianist onstage.
Comedian Chris Rock thanked the crowd for coming to the concert and impersonated Prince by reciting the lyrics to If I Was Your Girlfriend, while funnyman Fred Armisen also took to the stage throughout the night - even offering backing vocals to D'angelo during It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night.
All of the performers appeared onstage to sing Prince's hit track 1999 to close the show, which raised $100,000 for charity groups including the American Symphony Orchestra's Music Notes and Little Kids Rock."

Review of Dick Clark's Rocking Eve
Loved Lady GaGa's performances, I was so happy to hear Heavy Metal
Lover and I hope it will be the next single. She was so happy and
overwhelmed to drop the ball, but you can't blame her. It is so crazy to
see something all the time and then one day just become a part of it. I
don't think she ever imagined she would be dropping the ball. It must
be a dream come true for her!
Loved LMFAO's performance, Sexy and I know it is totally my jam.
Loved Nicki Minaj's performances of Super Bass and Turn Me On and she looked gorgeous.
And all of Pitbull's songs were amazing. He really knows how to fire up the party.
The rest of the performances on the show that I did not bother to mention were not to my liking.

Will.i.am was great performing "T.H.E." even though JLO wasn't there. I love that song!

GAGA HBO SPECIAL
was a blast. Just like being at the Monster Ball except that I couldn't jump up and down in the crowd or scream and clap as much as I did at the real concert :P But it was great that I could actually see and hear everything!
I am gonna watch it again next weekend and the weekend after :D
I hope it comes out on DVD
