Total nonsense
Elton John and Eminem
“Stan,” 2001 Grammys performance
A noted rap bad boy, (left) and a noted gay man (right)? Gay rights groups were outraged with Sir Elton, but the performance helped Em clean up his image.
Snoop Dogg and Buzz Aldrin
“Rocket Experience,” 2009
Let’s see, the artist behind “Gin and Juice” and the second man to step foot on the moon? At least Snoop picked an old dude with a cool nickname.
Lady Gaga and Michael Bolton
“Murder My Heart,” 2009
Funky fashionista/club diva tries to help reboot aging power ballad icon.
Celine Dion and R. Kelly
“I’m Your Angel,” 1998
The French-Canadian diva (right) and the Chicago native don’t have much in common besides their powerful voices.
Nelly and Tim McGraw
“Over and Over,” 2004
This tune from the St. Lunatic and country’s reigning king surprised many by becoming a crossover hit.
Aerosmith and Run-DMC
“Walk This Way,” 1986
The pairing of rock and hip-hop seemed outrageous in the mid-’80s, but today, two superstar acts joining forces in their prime just makes good business sense.
Makes total sense
