...Coldplay Performance They played Talk, a fine song with an opening cribbed from Big Country, but Chris Martin's vocals were all over the place, even in the tremolo parts that he usually nails. On the plus side, Martin's all black outfit with gleaming white sneakers was a nice 20th anniversary tribute to Run DMC's Raising Hell...
...Sporting a giant blond mohawk, a silver robe and platform boots, Stone took to his keyboards after a five-song medley tribute by John Legend, Joss Stone, Maroon 5, Will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. The singer ended his years of seclusion to lead his old band, the Family Stone, in a rendition of ?I Want to Take You Higher,? and then exited the stage abruptly after just a few verses.

The video certainly doesn’t break any new ground, but it isn’t trying to. The angular funk of the song, a throwback to some of Prince’s earlier work, calls for a video that is simply sexy and fun, and “Black Sweat” by and large delivers. I’m sure Jehovah, if not all of his witnesses, would approve. —Lisa...
...Canela,’ a Milton Nascimento tune sung, bravely, in Portuguese by Oldham, finds him squarely on Tortoise’s turf, sounding nothing like the quiet musings or heart-rent ramblings one finds on “Ease Down the Road.” The very next song, a dirge-like take on Springsteen’s anthemic ‘Thunder Road,’ is sung with a more familiar half-smiling sorrow, but something still seems amiss.
