:) Lovely moment at the end.

A bit of economic intelligence goes a long way if you're an artist. I'd muh rather listen to Spielberg on budgets than on all the pretentious people moaning like Woody Allen clones.

Anyone know if Alice pioneered the front low cut thing? This is the earliest I've seen an outfit like that and he is known for having pioneered rock theatrics. Freddie Mercury did the same thing.

"Dark" is one of the catch words of this cowardly generation. It exonerates them from applying ethical boundaries to their behaviour. I don't personally find this tendency in most of Tim Burton's films. I think he is fascinated by seeing, like Steven Spielberg.

He's the only celebrity I know who can actually calm everyone down.

auto tune my arse.

@Mcsavagemolestskids $600 million is nothing. Wouldn't make a dent. That's why he uses his money to meet world leaders. He deliberately doesn't talk about charity work, which means giving money away. Everybody says he should give his money away. How do you know he doesn't? I love how people think...

Beyonce was raised Methodist and prays before every gig. She has been in the business a long time and is pushing it further. What she is dealing with here is the dilemma any truly ethical person faces of questioning whether this gift is being used for the right purposes. And the toll that takes o...

Y'know, we've had keyboards for over 30 years. And people still have piano lessons.

She sings this song on another show and sounds way better. I swear the Letterman band have it in for any guests on this show. Something is so wrong with the mix here.

@riproar11 One word: Glastonbury.

I have a lot of problems with both bands, but I do not deny their talent and this song and performance is brilliant.

"She can't sing", I see a lot of people writing. Can you?

The arrangement of this song is so much better than the U2 version it's not even funny. Brandon makes it transcendent.

I love how the guitarist is playing an Explorer, the guitar that The Edge found his signature style on.

When The Killers started out, Brandon Flowers sang like a lot of the post-Franz Ferdinand people. After Day and Age, The Killers have become the rock band that all others must aspire to be like. His stage presence, performing style and vocal technique are flawless. And the songwriting is genius. ...

There's a reason why The Killers aren't getting the recognition they deserve. Hipsters, rock critics, they all want strain and pain and gloom and doom. The Killers are ecstatic and effortless. That is a MUCH harder thing to do. It's easy to be morose.

@generalcustard1 Good God, never a truer words was spoken. Well, perhaps a truer word has been spoken, but man do I agree.

Man, this is the best live version I've heard of this song. I think it was faster too.

Spielberg sells himself short here. There's never been a director before him who has both that "style" and that versatility that he's talking about. No other director could get away with adapting to as many subjects as he has without his identity being mistaken. "Saving Private Ryan", "Catch Me I...

Wow, I wish more people would watch this video and really get what Spielberg is saying. I remember Roger Ebert once saying that "people don't film history before Star Wars". What a sad indictment that is! I watch a lot of modern movies these days, but I just saw "The Band Wagon" for the first tim...

Gilliam and Rushdie are pretentious, politicising idiots. It's such a con, the way they throw snark at a pandering audience. Spielberg may be a famous showman, but he knows exactly what he wants to say in his movies without ticking off some arthouse agenda, an agenda that these two seem to want t...

The instrumentation in this song is brilliant. I think the drumming is truly creative.

Bruce Springsteen and Alice Cooper also don't have very good live vocal technique, but they write killer songs and have had long careers. I don't think Katy Perry will fade away very quickly if she keeps writing good songs. Yes, I like her songs.

I swear Don Music has the worst songwriting mind possible. Working backwards in every song, viciously self-loathing, banging his head at ever opportunity. Unfortunately, this is what most songwriters are like and that's why the character is so brilliant. This is my favourite one. Kermit's reactio...

It's amazing to me how U2 always give the impression in interviews that they truly, sincerely cannot believe what has happened to them. They always seem to not be able to truly comprehend it.

Where are the vocals???
