Watch Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jimmy Fallon's bizarre karaoke duet

Everyone likes karaoke: drunks, better-than-average singers who still aren't quite good enough, and drunks. Friends Jimmy Fallon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt like karaoke, having experimented with the styles of David Bowie and Axl Rose while out on the town. JGL dropped by Late Night on Tuesday for a Studio 6B reprise of the impressions (and to plug his new movie, 50/50). Mercifully, no Bee Gees songs were in the offing.
It's Pink Floyd Week on the show, and prior to Roger Waters and Foo Fighters collaborating on a noisy "In the Flesh," Fallon did his pretty accurate Bowie-voiced version of Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks," while JGL did his screechy Axl version of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," which, frankly, was tortured-cat terrible.
And since Bowie could do a duet with Bing Crosby, why not Axl? So the boys teamed up for a final duet of the ubiquitous Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory." If the tune wasn't quite mangled for posterity, i'm sure it would have sounded better after a few cocktails. At least we didn't have to hear "Dylan" or "Neil Young" singing "Stayin' Alive."

Please do not feed the trolls because your response is the only thing that motivates them. By popular definition, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. The particular species known as "Nervis trollus familiaris" is recognized by the following behavior:
- Unprovoked personal attacks.
- Sexist, racist or homophobic comments.
- Constant complaining about how Nerve "sucks".
- One person using many usernames and/or hijacking your own username.
- Behavior known as "concern trolling", which is when a person lurks and then posts on a site or blog, expressing concern for policies, comments, attitudes of others on the site. It is viewed as insincere, manipulative, condescending or fake. Concern trolls pretend to be a supporter with "concerns". Concern trolls who use fake identities are also known as "sockpuppets".
Good news: Nerve is currently having discussions regarding a sign-in service for comments in the near future, when resources and time allow for development.
Comment is by a troll.
Uh huh. Clearly only trolls make anti-troll comments.
Excuse me, Nerve moderators, but what the hell is going on here today? Would you please stop these assholes?
It's a troll who usually goes by "@" when he's not hijacking other user's names. He's spamming the shit out of the comments recently. Cross your fingers and hope that Nerve comes up with a sign-in service soon.
jr- you're one of the assholes that I'm talking about. What's to keep the trolls from signing in and trolling? If you don't lime the trolls, ignore them or go somewhere else. It's the same whining that I see in NDC.
Hello "@".
