Video: Lady GaGa’s Emotional "Speechless" Performance at Vevo Launch

Two weeks ago, we reported on Lady GaGa‘s star-studded, leg-on-the-piano performance at the Vevo Launch at New York’s Skylight Studio.

You may recall – guests included everyone from John Mayer to Rihanna to Adam Lambert.

Now, Vevo has released a video of GaGa’s emotional “Speechless” performance, and we absolutely had to share it with you!

Check out GaGa’s gorgeous, intimate moment, above.

Quote of the Day

“My dreidel spins the other way.”

–Adam Lambert tells The View‘s Joy Behar, when she comments that he’s not exactly a nice Jewish boy

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!!

Check out pics from the night, below.

Adam Lambert Kisses a Boy at American Music Awards

It wasn’t the best performance of the night (that spot is reserved Lady GaGa‘s glass-shattering rendition of “Bad Romance” and “Speechless,”) but it will certainly be the most talked about!

Adam Lambert hit the stage at the American Music Awards Sunday night for an energetic, borderline sex-show version of latest single “For Your Entertainment” that included shoving a male dancer’s face into his crotch, dragging a female dancer around the stage by her shoe, and making out with a male keyboard player.

“Female performers have been doing this for years — pushing the envelope about sexuality — and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out,” Lambert later said, perhaps referencing Madonna and Britney Spears‘ liplock back in 2003.

“We’re in 2009 — it’s time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people’s eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I’m not for them,” he adds. “My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom.”

We totally agree with Lambert about the double-standard, but he should also keep in mind that those performances are generally reserved for MTV! (ABC seemed to take note of this, editing certain thrusts out of their West coast broadcast.)

With the exception of GaGa and Lamby, most of the night’s performances were a snooze – Daughtry strummed through the motions during “Life After You,” Janet Jackson‘s lipsync-ed her way through her opening montage, and Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed “Empire State of Mind” for the 548823th time.

Shakira was decent – performing new single “Give It Up To Me” with the help of a step team, and Whitney Houston‘s first live TV performance in five years (“I Didn’t Know My Own Strength”) was fine…

Scooping up notable awards were Jay-Z for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Male (“Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t,” the emcee laughed, during his acceptance speech), Michael Jackson (two awards, accepted by brother Jermaine), and Taylor Swift‘s three trophies via London satellite, including Artist of the Year.

Sam Ronson Spins at Quo

On Saturday night, Poison Ivy spotted Adam Lambert bestie Samantha Ronson spinning at Quo – New York’s newly-revamped mega club in the Chelsea district.

With no Lambert or Lohan in sight, Ronson kept it strictly business, spinning regulars like “Empire State of Mind” and “Run This Town,” while chain-smoking and chugging Red Bull.

Thanks to event host Zivi Kopolovitz for making it happen!
