Tom Jones and Jessie J linked up on The Righteous Brothers classic "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" at the Grammys. Jones played it straight, using his big, seasoned voice, while J had a hard time finding herself on the song. The second half of the tune had the crowd singing along. It will probably be one of the most understated performances of the night, but that's OK.
Following the performance, the pair awarded Pharrell Williams with the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for "Happy." He hit the stage in shorts because he's Pharrell and can do that.
The collaboration marks a reunion of sorts for the pair - Jones and Jessie J were both judges on The Voice UK in 2013. They linked up on The Black Eyed Peas tune "I Gotta a Feeling" with will.i.am back then. Yes, it was a bit of a departure from tonight's performance.
Jessie J is up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Bang Bang," the hit off her 2014 effort Sweet Talker. Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj helped her out on the tune as well.
J and Jones are just two of many artists to perform at the ceremony tonight. Other performers include Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine, Katy Perry, Sia, Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett, Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Eric Church, Beck, Chris Martin,Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Beyoncé, Common, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Herbie Hancock, John Mayer, Questlove, Juanes, Pharrell Williams, Usher, Miranda Lambert, Hozier, Annie Lennox
