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."

The two outrageous singers did a mash-up of her "Speechless" and his "Your Song" as mannequin arms eerily reached from the musical instrument.
