Nice one **Made in Macau** I had a similar experience when listening to the Howard Stern Show a few years ago.

Here she is with just a piano singing _Edge of Glory_. Great stuff.

This is the one I came into the thread to post. Same performance. Amazing.

David Armand does a skit call “Karaoke for the Deaf”. He uses several songs, but the best one is Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. I’d heard the song before and didn’t think much about it or her, until I saw Armand’s performance at the Secret Policeman’s Ball where she joined him onstage for it.

She’s actually talented. Got great stage presence and a nice voice.

I once saw Nine Inch Nails, Skid Row, and Guns N’ Roses together (I was there for NiN, wife was there for GnR).  
Skid Row was pretty damn awesome.
