MTV VMAs 2011: Brian May joins Lady Gaga for 'You and I' to open the show

Lady Gaga was conspicuously absent from the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet - we've gotten so used to waiting to see her crazy outfits, like the meat dress or the egg. But it turns out it's because she was busy being in drag for her opening number.The performance started with Gaga dressed as a man and giving a soliloquy about Lady Gaga being crazy and "who she is" as if she were this man talking about his ex-girlfriend. She then took to the piano for "You and I," which is a great song. But we'd almost fallen asleep during her spoken-word part.
Once the actual song started, it got very awesome, especially when Gaga was joined onstage by Queen guitarist Brian May. Was she channeling Billy Joel? That's a bit what it seemed like. Video below in case you missed it.

Lady TATAs, What else can you do to shock us ? Please go back on the Graham Norton again because you were great on it and it doesn't have censorship like the shows over here !!!
I actually liked the performance, including the speech at the beginning (and how she recovered when she apparently fell), but what was up with Justin Bieber's glasses? Is he out and out trying to look like a girl? I swear those were women's glasses.
The fact that Lady Gaga loves Queen just makes her even more loveable! She is truly amazing! I could go into a long rant about idiotic American "stars" such as Britney, Bieber, Kanye, Adele etc who think that our solar system revolves around them. But Brian, you know who yours and Queen's true fans are. You are, and always will be, brilliant- you are a legend and will continue to live on when these "stars" have fallen off the radar. To my darling Freddie, Brian, Roger and Deacon John ;) you truly will forever be the Champions of the world.
