Lady GaGa Performs at Vevo Launch

On Tuesday night, YouTube and Universal Music Group visited New York’s Skylight Studio to celebrate the launch of lovechild Vevo, a high-quality music video streaming site that Universal, EMI and Sony have tapped into.

And what celebration would be complete without a leg-on-the-piano performance by Lady GaGa??

GaGa performed, drink in hand, for the A-list crowd, which included folks like Bono, Pete Wentz, John Mayer, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Tommy Mottola, Taylor Swift, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Gavin DeGraw, Shania Twain, Clive Davis, L.A. Reid, Sheryl Crow, Adam Lambert and Justin Bieber!

Not a bad turn-out!!

“The new announcement is that I’m dropping two albums,” 50 told MTV News. “I’ve had an opportunity to record since I thought I was releasing an album in December.”

Two records!

Damn!

Surely there will be room for at least one song about emo touring!
