The look on Simon's face is priceless.

I can't believe I forgot about this one. Very emotional video, for me. I cried pretty bad the first time I saw it.

Prince`s solo....and Harrison`s son or reincarnation?

What an outstanding rendition, particularly Jeff Lynne's vocals and Prince's solo. People on Youtube were giving Prince shit for his perceived showboating at the end, but Prince just feels the music that strongly. It's hard to just stand there when you are feeling what he undoubtedly feels while playing, and I thought it was a nice touch. Prince is clearly on another level as a performer, so he looked like a douche, but maybe the other guys should get more into it.

That Amanda woman actually trembles at Potts' voice. It's a great genuine moment.

Speaking of Sesame Street, how about Buddy Rich vs. Animal in a drum duel. Animal may be an animal but Buddy was a BEAST - especially at 1:40
