...McCartney," said Pavarotti, 65. "I would love to sing with them, as they are the best--and I'm not bad myself--but we don't know yet if that will happen. Madonna has a very clear idea.

Meredith defended his quirky choices, saying, "I'm a man moved by the rhythms of his time, so I'll just take amusement at being a paradox...
