Cuban Rapper Pitbull Performs “Shut It Down” on Lopez Tonight

Cuban Rapper Pitbull Performs “Shut It Down” on Lopez Tonight

Talk show musical performances aren’t exactly exciting.  If the music is canned, they can be downright “wake me when it’s done” boring.
And then there is Cuban, Miami-based rapper Pitbull.  I have to admit that I’m not familiar with Pitbull’s music other than knowing that he’s a hip-hop artist.
But after watching his live performance on Lopez [...]

Ask anyone to say the first thing that comes to their mind when you say the word “disco” and they’re very likely to say “Donna Summer“.  The legendary Donna Summer defined, embodied and celebrated an era of music that is synonymous with decadence, overt-sexuality and freedom of self-expression.  Disco, disco, disco!!!
Today is Donna Summer’s 61st [...]

Alicia Keys and Stephen Colbert Perform “Empire State”

This is officially the best musical performance on a talk show in 2009 (and I’m not just saying that because I was born and raised in New York).

It’s always a pleasure seeing 9-time Grammy award-winning Norah Jones (@norahjones) take to the stage.  The understated artist is at her best sitting down at the piano and conversing with the audience through her thought-provoking, soul-stirring song lyrics.
Clearly, I’m not the only fan of Ms. Jones.  She visited The Late Show with David Letterman to [...]
