That Lennox/Bowie duet is superb. I wish Freddie could have heard it. That song is a HUGE HUGE favorite of mine, and Annie nailed what should have been an impossible task- being as theatrical and emotive as Freddie Mercury, without tipping over into either imitation or parody. I remember reading back in the 80s where she said that he was a big influence on her, and damn if she didn't pay him back with that one performance. Outstanding.

I love you Annie.

I agree BP, and you put into words what I felt about her performance much better than I ever could have. She was dramatic, and yet she made it a tribute, and didn't try to overshadow Freddie (who could?), and letting the audience sing out their favorite parts was the ghost of Freddie being there. She pulled it off like no one else could. David was awesome of course, but he was there for the original. ;)

From what I've heard, Annie had not heard "Under Pressure" until that afternoon's rehearsals, which makes the performance all that much better.

Oh, and if you're wondering why Annie's wearing that mask of dark makeup, here's why. Of course, the look owes a lot to Blade Runner.

Another great Annie cover, one I like even better than the Paul Simon original, is this.
