live performance

After the first half hour of the 2012 People’s Choice Awards focused on the best actors and actresses of the year, the show then turned to music entertainment — starring Demi Lovato! The ‘Skyscraper’ songstress brought the first musical offering to the stage with her most recent single ‘Give Your Heart a Break‘ from her 2011 record ‘Unbroken.’ Dressed in a bold red gown, silver sparkling earrings

You know the phrase “Too many cooks spoil the broth“? Tonight’s opening ‘X Factor‘ performance, featuring the finalists as well as everyone’s favorite cast offs, may give credence to “Too many singers spoil the song.”

Lady Gaga is reportedly opening and closing tonight’s Grammy nominations concert, which airs at 10PM ET on CBS. Double duty is nothing new for Gaga. She often performs best when under pressure like that and a dual dose of her singing and dancing is something for which all little monsters will happily stay up past their bedtime.

While ‘X Factor‘ contestants cover her songs, Demi Lovato covered a hit by two other singing competition show hosts. Lovato channeled another former Disney starlet when she performed ‘The Voice‘ coach Christina Aguilera and Maroon 5‘s inescapable hit, ‘Moves Like Jagger.’

Powerhouse rappers Rick Ross, Common, LL Cool J and Lupe Fiasco have been selected to join DJ Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five members Melle Mel and Scorpio for a special performance of ‘The Message’ during the Grammy Nominations Concert, airing live on CBS.

Five years ago, Cirque du Soleil took the music of the Beatles and turned it into ‘Love,’ a smash multimedia hit that blended the troupe’s trademark dancing skill with state-of-the-art production and newly remixed versions of songs the world knows by heart. Now they’re doing it again with another beloved icon, Michael Jackson, and the result is ‘Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.’

So guess who Taylor Swift invited to perform on stage with her at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Monday, Nov. 21? That’d be Johnny Rzeznik, the lead singer of alt rock hitsmiths Goo Goo Dolls. The band originated in Buffalo, which is way up north in the Empire State. But they are still technically from New York so they fall in line with Swift’s tradition of inviting guests from the state

Even though they lost the award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Duo/Group (that honor went to Maroon 5), LMFAO were the clear winners for best performance at last night's American Music Awards.

Now that the world is finally sussing out how exactly we’re supposed to dance to dubstep (basically it’s like doing the Robot, but way harder), it’s time to take things to the next level. Denmark’s Robotboys are seen here leading the way.

So here's an old throwback video for you 90's kids who remember Disney's Mickey Mouse Club.

The scene from Back to the Future where Marty McFly indirectly creates Chuck Berry's classic sound...by playing Chuck Berry's classic sound at the high school dance is one of the greatest scenes in movie history (in my opinion anyway). At a recent fundraiser in New York, Michael J. Fox wowed the crowd by practically recreated the iconic scene.

As is customary for reality competition results shows these days, to fill the time before announcing the actual results at the end of the show, they'll add "fluff" in the form of live performances. ABC's Dancing with the Stars is no exception...
