Like most years, the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards has thrown up several special performances.
Kicking things off at the star-studded Miami ceremony was Usher, performing Confessions Pt. 2 as a human fountain, with water trickling down his rippled bits, before breaking into his smash single Yeah, helped out by his mates Ludacris and Lil Jon.
Alicia Keys, meanwhile, rocked the Miami stage in the company of superstars (no offence, Ludacris). After a touch of her mellow If I Aint Got You, Alicia launched into a cover of Higher Ground joined by her idol Stevie Wonder on piano and a topless Lenny Kravitz (topless except for the, erm, wings) on guitar.
Nelly and Christina Aguilera joined forces for a Chicago-style performance of Tilt Ya Head Back that saw Nelly have a quick tinkle on the ivories and Aguilera doing a bit of tap-dancing.
Other performance highlights included Kanye Wests medley, complete with a gospel choir and a Chaka Khan and Jessica Simpsons vocally gymnastic cover of Robbie Williams' Angels. Yes, really.
OutKast put the cherry on the cake, closing the show with a high energy medley that included The Way You Move and of course Hey Ya.
