Taylor Swift who got her first Grammy this year through album "Fearless", got up on stage to perform "Today Was a Fairytale", a new song which is recorded for her upcoming movie "Valentine's Day". She then introduced Stevie Nicks and together they belted out Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" and her "You Belong With Me".

Before her performance, Jamie Foxx dressed up as Union Jack and collaborated with T-Pain and Doug E. Fresh in "Blame It". Asking the audience to stand up, Foxx got the crowd including Rihanna and Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie to sway their body to the music. Slash came out toward the end, performing a guitar solo of "November Rain". Foxx, who used a lot of Auto-Tune in the performance, gave a shout out to Jay-Z who is known against the use of the enhanced technology.

Later on, Bon Jovi performed "We Weren't Born to Follow" before welcoming Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles onto the stage for a duet of "Who Says You Can't Go Home". The band closed their set with a fan-voted song "Livin' on a Prayer".

The heavy weight Hip-Hoppers were united in Weezy's 'Drop the World' and Drake's 'Forever' with Barker on drums.

The most anticipated collaboration at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards was reserved as the last act of the day before they announced the winner of Album of the Year. Eminem, joined the star-studded line-up consisting of Drake, Lil Wayne and Travis Barker, being introduced by "Inglourious Basterds" director Quentin Tarantino.

Weezy and Barker were the opening act, performing "Drop the World". Then Eminem came out just in time to sing his verse. An alarm was sounded, Drake came out, spitting verses of "Forever", his collaborative song with Weezy which was also made as the theme song of LeBron James' documentary "More Than a Game".

Amidst the celebration and the energy-pumping performances, Grammys spared a time to remember the victims of Haiti earthquake. Through the performance by Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli, the organizers encourage viewers to donate. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" can be downloaded on iTunes and the proceeds is used to support Haiti relief.

Although it appears as if Kara’s popularity is growing everyday, Seungyeon begs to differ.

On a recent recording of SBS Quiz! Sixth Sense, Seungyeon revealed that when the ladies of Kara took the stage the response from the crowd was pretty good. However, when sexy singer Moon Ji Eun appeared, Seungyeon stated that the men in the military went crazy!

In response to the obvious disappointment from Seungyeon, netizens left encouraging comments such as: “With your help, KARA was able to rise to stardom. You worked hard!” I’m guessing that this performance was early on in their career because if the girls showed up to the military now, the reaction will probably be on a whole different scale!

Mao Asada is a Japanese figure skater who was the 2008 World Figure Skating champion and is ranked #4 in the world by the International Skating Union (ISU). And with the help of many other skaters, Mao briefly taunted the competition with the Brown Eyed Girls hip swaying dance song Abracadabra!

It’s always great to see the k-pop influence spreading, especially on a global scale. Granted, the form and choreography isn’t perfect but then again the performers are wearing a pair of skates on ice.

On today’s SBS Inkigayo Vancouver Olympics Special boy groups BEAST and 2AM hooked up on stage to perform a kpop classic, Psy’s Champion. The two groups did an excellent job of bringing back this track with the original fun flair that Psy gave it.

Though they’re a ballad group, 2AM definitely knows how to have fun and bust a move in a genre that’s definitely not their own. BEAST is the go-to newbie group that fans can count on to make ‘em smile with their dorkiness on stage. The original track was a very upbeat song and it was definitely the perfect song for these boys to perform. Check out the original and the new version below.
