Elton John and Miley Cyrus Stun With "Tiny Dancer" Duet!
Grammys viewers are still outraged that Lorde wasn"t invited to perform solo and basking in the afterglow of Kesha"s powerful "Praying" performance.
But the Grammys are a celebration of music, and singers don"t have to be winners or even especially relevant to have their time in the spotlight.
Which is why we were all treated to absolute legend Elton John singing "Tiny Dancer" … in a stunning duet with none other than Miley Cyrus. Take a look in the video below!
Before the performance even began, they were introduced by Anna Kendrick.
Anna even acknowledges that she"s introducing them because she is famously tiny.
If you"re tall, pretty much everyone under 6 feet looks the same height — a height called "short." But Anna Kendrick is 5-foot-2. She"s conspicuously small. And therefore the perfect celeb to introduce this duet.
You might think that you don"t know one Elton John song from another, but we have a feeling that most people will recognize "Tiny Dancer" from somewhere or another.
As we said, Elton John is an absolute legend, and he"s been in this game for a long time.
Elton John begins to play the piano and sing, as he is want to do.
It"s good to remember that the world was nearly robbed of his talent, as it was less than a year ago that Elton John was still recovering from a potentially deadly infection. Money can buy you first-rate health care, but it doesn"t make you immune to illness.
Even so, Sir Elton is going to retire from music and spend more time with his family. But first, he"ll do a farewell tour.
You"ll notice the white rose sitting on Elton John"s piano. That"s not just artistic whimsy — it"s his nod to the #TimesUp movement.
Other artists wore white flowers on the red carpet.
It isn"t long into Elton John"s performance when Miley steps in.
Miley is wearing a gorgeous dress.
Her voice is as lovely as ever, and while we"d never want to overshadow an artist"s talent by talking about their outfit, this is one of those situations when we need to talk about how Miley is choosing to portray herself.
Just as Sir Elton"s colorful, glittery suit is part of his brand, the way that Miley presents herself is relevant to her performance.
For years, Miley talked nonstop about how much she loves marijuana. "Coincidentally," that was also the period in her life when Miley decided to appropriate black culture.
Labeling herself a "hippie," Miley was almost a mascot for white privilege, using black people as props in her wild and outlandish performances and singing constantly about how much she loves a controlled substance that has been used as an excuse to ruin the lives of countless black people.
Recently, however, Miley decided to reinvent herself into the New Old Miley. Just look at her.
That"s right. Miley quit weed because she dreamed that she would die, even though it might be literally impossible for her to actually overdose on marijuana.
(We"re pretty sure that more people die each year from drinking water than from smoking pot)
Miley also doesn"t show her breasts anymore. While this is all her choice to make, it seems to some people that she sampled what she perceived to be black culture, tried to use it for her brand for a few years, and then got bored and decided to just be a "southern gal" for a while.
We know that Miley didn"t do any of this maliciously, but a lot of people don"t love the way that she spent years being obnoxious in multiple ways, only to seemingly revert to how she was almost immediately post-Disney.
(There"s a middle ground!)
That said, though, this performance is absolutely lovely and powerful.
You might not think that Sir Elton"s voice would work so well with Miley"s. They have, well, some very different accents.
But their duet is beautiful and tasteful and really does justice to the song.
And since Elton John is retiring from music, he absolutely deserved this spot at the Grammy awards.

Mariah Carey Goes Out with Backup Dancer, Demands a Fortune from James Packer
News of Mariah Carey and James Packer calling off their engagement has only been public for 36 hours or so.
But the narrative has already changed a number of times, following initial reports that claimed Packer simply grew sick of Carey’s excessive spending habits.
At first, outlets wrote that Packer was turned off by Carey’s upcoming E! reality show and decided that he had had enough of his fiancee’s diva attitude.
And that may still be correct, we suppose.
But then TMZ reported on something that happened between Carey and Packer in Greece, alleging that some kind of incident took place between the billionaire businessman and one of Carey’s assistants.
This rumor then turned even uglier when we heard the encounter was “violent” in nature.
On Thursday night, three different outlets (TMZ, People Magazine, E! News) all shared quotes from anonymous insiders that claimed Packer is mentally unstable.
“James is not in a mentally healthy place right now and he has not been present for her,” one source said, adding:
“Unfortunately, his absence and behavior was not a good situation for her, so she had to leave him.”
Now, E! and TMZ are also reporting that Carey has gotten close to backup dancer Brian Tanaka.
Over the past few weeks, during her estranged period with Packer, Carey “developed a close relationship” with Tanaka, according to an E! insider.
And this isn’t mere talk.
TMZ has shared a video that actually features Carey out for sushi with Tanaka on Thursday night. The two shared a meal at Nobu in Malibu, which is telling in and of itself.
Why? Because Nobu is the sort of establishment people go to when they want their picture taken.
Paparazzi are known to hang out there, just waiting for celebrities to film.
In other words: Carey knew what she was doing and was likely sending a message to Packer.
According to TMZ, Packer had it out with Tanaka in Carey’s Las Vegas dressing room a little while back, actually getting the dancer banned from Caesar’s Palace in the process.
Meanwhile, in a separate report, TMZ claims that Carey is demanding $ 50 million from Packer. For what possible reason?!?
Because, in her view, Packer has cost the singer a fortune.
She says he got her to move from New York to Los Angeles, uprooting her entire life in the process, so he could be near his children.
She also claims the aforementioned incident on the yacht in Greece has traumatized Carey to such an extent she had to cancel the South American leg of her tour.
She alleges that Packer made certain financial promises to her.
We can’t say for certain if any of this is true.
All we can say for certain is that Carey and Packer met in 2014 at a movie premiere in Aspen, Colorado; that the Australian proposed in January 2016 with a 35-carat diamond ring; and that this romance is very much over.

Pregnant Pole Dancer: You Go, Girl or... EWWW, Go Away, Girl?
You know how the Internet gets really upset when a pregnant woman shows off her toned stomach?
We can"t wait to see how the Internet therefore reacts to the following story…
The following video features Kat Bailey, a woman who is seven and a half months pregnant… and who we also meet while she’s dancing on a pole.
The mother-to-be is NOT a stripper, it"s worth noting.
But she"s certainly engaging here in some stripper-like behavior.
Bailey is a former lecturer in psychology at Nottingham Trent University. She’s taking part below in a theater pole dancing skit, which is apparently a thing.
At least in England.
As you can see, Bailey is rocking a rather huge baby bump.
She is also executing a number of moves – including an inverted sit-ups and crazy pull-ups during – that involve her stomach being pressed up against the pole.
Nevertheless, she totally kills her high-energy performance, even while carrying important cargo.
But should she have been doing this in the first place?
"Our doctors were very supportive," Bailey told the Nottingham Post, explaining:
"If you"ve done something for a while before you were pregnant then keep on doing it. It"s not a great idea to take up a dangerous hobby when you become pregnant, but in general they do encourage exercise when you"re expecting."
That"s true.
You typically hear that sort of advice when it comes to exercise, not pole dancing.
But we guess pole dancing is a type of exercise
Check out the controversial routine for yourself:
