Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse (in D & G) performed together for the first time in ages at the 2008 BRIT Awards in London. The über-producer and troubled chanteuse had a falling out over Amy’s no-show at Ronson’s video shoot for “Valerie,” for which Amy sang the lead vocal. Bringing down the house last evening, the two musical masterminds cannot deny their chemistry, which is why they’re soon heading to the studio to record Amy’s much-anticipated third LP.

Performing her new single “No One” and melding into George Michael’s “Freedom,” Alicia Keys was the performance of the evening at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards held at The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. It was refreshing to see an artist exude confidence, talent, and joy on stage unlike many of today’s musical performers. Keys is breath of fresh air in a sea mediocrity.
