Fashion Rocks 5 Performance Highlights


Mariah Carey "I'm That Chick": Mariah, looking stunning, demonstrated once again why she is that chick we like!



Beyonce "At Last": Beyonce's voice shined in this lovely tribute to Etta James.



The Black-Eyed Peas "Miss You": The reunited Peas performed a Rolling Stones classic.



OneRepublic/Chris Cornell/The Pussycat Dolls Medley: These three acts joined forces in a Timbaland-led medley that remixed both OneRepublic's "Apologize" & The Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up."



Fergie & Debbie Harry "Call Me": Fergie performed a tribute to Debbie Harry, which led to a duet between the Pea & the Blondie singer.

Justin Timberlake/Mary J. Blige & Kid Rock/Beyonce & Justin Timberlake Medley: Though I would have preferred to not include Justin's first performance here, Mary J. Blige & Kid Rock (bleh) joined forces to perform the Motown classic "(I Know) I'm Losing You," followed by Beyonce & Justin Timberlake's rendition of "Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing," which imo found the two stars blending surprisingly well with one another.


Rihanna "Vogue": Rihanna finally found a way to impress me onstage with her performance of this Madonna classic: pose--it is what she does best after all.



Solange "I Decided"
: Solange performed practically the same rendition of her first single as usual, but it was still enjoyable.

All in all, this year's Fashion Rocks event was great & easily better than any awards show in recent memory.
