"American Boy," Estelle with Kanye West

Ditching his Auto-Tune shtick for a bit, West puts on a sequined jacket and leather gloves and reprises his guest verse from this past summer's breeziest hit while Estelle flirts with him. Dancing around each other in their shiny clothes on a small circular stage in the middle of the crowd, they're like the highlight of a particularly excellent episode of Solid Gold.
Grade: B+

See Kanye West on the cover of TIME in 2005.
