Miss Gimme Shelter 2012 ?

Gaga by a mile (and I don't even like her, except for how excellently she
promoted the PPV and performed in it. Close your eyes during the last part,
when her and Mick are improvising. Musically its very good and fits well.
If you close your eyes.)

What I don't understand is why this song. It's degrading.

the absolute coolest thing for me was keith keeping his head down and nailing it,
nevermind the madness of gaga or what the crowd was paying attention to. this is
such a new keith richards. i want more.

gaga was the storm. keith was the shelter. perfect.

Florence for me. I though that she brought out the best in Mick.

Lady Gaga is all about image (with some talent I agree) but it is all about "look at me, i'm so kooky" with her.

Lisa....Fergie from RRHOF show was an amazing guest performance

It's always good to have guest singers with this great Stones-song but there is no one that comes close to Lisa!!

Lisa

Keep On Rolling

Of course Lisa !

Lisa no doubt.
GaGa sounded bad and looked like a drugged out piece of taffy.

Go Dawgs!

Jagger is the storm and the shelter - the song itself about him. Gaga seems to understand that - unlike you

All of them brought something, Florence did her thing, Mary J. did hers and Lady Gaga did whatever she does but it worked. I hate to pick because it wasn't a competition. Just to have someone guest on my favorite Stones song is a pretty heady thing but the women were all wonderful.

Florence. she had something hard to define but it sure got close to Merry Clayton's original..

plus I like the way she hugged the Stones..heartfelt..

How she was on other nights, I do not know, but, going by the the first 02 Arena performance, it's Mary J. Blige for me. She was hot, hot, hot. That's a sista with soul

The original singer on Gimme Shelter --Give me a damn break -noone compares all other singers are thatric in nature -What in the hell as got into your minds??

Unquestionably. No comparison.

I presumed this thread was solely referring to the recent shows.

Me too....

Nothing can compare to the original Merry Clayton vocal, its epic.
But Florence was the highlight of the recent shows without a doubt.

What a drag it is gettin' old

well..? have the polls closed?

who will it be?

and how long does she serve?
