JOHN Fogerty performed with the Foo Fighters and Jennifer Hudson. R. Kelly debuted a tribal song in tribute to Nelson Mandela. And Miley Cyrus basically called the audience old.
Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy gala drew stars who are set to shine at the Grammy Awards on Sunday in the US and featured performances from musical dynamos including Lionel Richie and newcomers such as Lorde and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
Neil Diamond, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Metallica, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and Rod Stewart were among the A-listers who attended the Beverly Hilton for the four-hour event.
Cyrus opened her set with the upbeat Get It Right, which didn't earn a rousing applause.
"I hope y'all feel better than y'all look," said Cyrus, sporting a mini-dress under her fluffy coat.
"Maybe this song is better for this crowd," she said before performing Dolly Parton's Jolene, which earned the 21-year-old a louder applause.
Robin Thicke had the night's funniest moment when he sang Blurred Lines with Pharrell Williams and T.I., who danced happily onstage. Even Jane Fonda danced along.
Most of the performers impressed: Thicke and wife Paula Patton stood up the entire time Fogerty killed on the guitar; Richie got the crowd up during Easy and All Night Long (All Night); and R. Kelly was backed up by African dancers, a drummer and a choir.
Celebrities mixed and mingled: Swift's table included R&B singer Tyrese; Gloria Estefan sat with Cyndi Lauper and the Osbournes; and Alicia Key hung out with Jamie Foxx.
The crowd sang happy birthday to Keys, who celebrated her 34th birthday on Saturday.
Davis, 81, closed the night with videos of performances of Whitney Houston.
"We all know that Whitney was the greatest contemporary singer in the world," said Davis, who discovered Houston and launched her career at his annual pre-Grammy gala.
"I don't want the world to forget that, and I don't know anyone in this room to forget that."
Houston died the night before the 2012 Grammy Awards.
The 56th annual Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center on Fox8 with the red carpet arrivals at 10am.
