    By Claudine Zap | The Difference – Sun, 16 Oct, 2011

    The Decade of Difference concert at the Hollywood Bowl celebrated Bill Clinton's 65th birthday and the 10-year milestone of the Clinton Foundation. Throughout the night, unexpected moments surprised, shocked, and in the end, delighted the crowd.

    Lady Gaga serenades First Family

    President Clinton wanted a big show. And Lady Gaga delivered -- perhaps a bit too well. The singer changed the words of the song "Bad Romance" to "Bill Romance," stripping out of her dress to reveal a nude body suit underneath.

    To the shock of the president, his wife, and his daughter, the singer proceeded to serenade the president, who was sitting just a few feet away from the dance diva. But the Lady won over the former First Family, who was caught up in the performance and dancing to the beat. Gaga slithered over to the stage where Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea stood and told them, "I'm going to dance with the whole family." She sang, "I love you Bill, and Chelsea too."

    But Bill was warned: Clinton

  • Mysteries of Clinton concert performances

    Former President Bill Clinton's Decade of Difference concert on Saturday night burned brightly with a parade of stars both onstage (Lady Gaga, Bono, Usher) and off (Barbra Streisand, Bonnie Raitt, Jane Fonda).

    Even so, there were still a few fresh faces and unexpected moments in the Hollywood Bowl that left us with these burning questions.

    Who was the striking blonde accompanying Kenny Chesney?

    Considering he has 20 number one county chart hits and is Renee Zellweger's ex-husband, Kenny Chesney has soaked in his fair share of the limelight. But the stunning blonde who made the red carpet stroll with him on Saturday night is a comparative unknown. Those striking facial features (and legs) belong to Grace Potter, lead singer of a roots rock band called Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Potter later joined Chesney onstage to sing "You and Tequila," and if she seemed extremely comfortable during the duet, that's because she recorded the studio version with him on his last album.

  • It was Bill Clinton's birthday celebration, but Lady Gaga had a special message for his wife, Hillary, at Saturday night's concert honoring the former president. "Sit back down where you belong in the Oval Office with those high heels on," crooned the pop superstar to the Secretary of State in the opening of her song "You and I," which she rearranged as "Hillary, You and I."

    That wasn't the only lyrical liberty Gaga took during the star-studded event, "A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation," streamed live on Yahoo.com.

    "I bet when you first met you'd do anything again to go out in Arkansas," she ad-libbed for "Billary" (as she dubbed them), who celebrated their 40th anniversary this year.

    The concert was a tribute to the former president, who just celebrated his 65th birthday, and a chance to raise awareness about the Clinton Foundation's humanitarian efforts around the globe.
