Lady Gaga Covers Kanye West's "Heartless" Live in Toronto

June 22, 2009 9:24 AM ET

Kanye West went on The View earlier this month and announced he'd be going on tour with Lady Gaga, praising the fashion-forward "Poker Face" singer as "not an opening act." Now Gaga has returned the favor: she took a seat at her custom-designed Pyrex piano and started to play "Heartless" in Toronto Friday night. "So did you hear about the Kanye tour?" she asked during a pause. When the cheers died down, she added, "I would say Kanye is one of the most talented and intuitive people I've known in a long time." Watch the clip, above, and get maximum Gaga here.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
