Kanye, Gnarls, Girl Talk Take on Jackie Chan, China

Lupe Fiasco and Spank Rock vs. Supergirls
Kanye, Gnarls, Girl Talk Take on Jackie Chan, China What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas most of the time, but not in the case of Fusion, which-- according to its website-- is a "funky and internationally fresh" concert event taking place February 13 and 14 at the Las Vegas Aladdin Hotel and Casino's Theatre of the Arts.

Hunan TV
will broadcast the event in mainland China with the purpose of getting "the biggest names in music from China and the United States [to] converge on one stage" in celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year (apparently "the world's most celebrated holiday").

The first night is dedicated to the Chinese artists, which include Jackie Chan (!), A-mei, Mayday, Zhang Zhen Yue, Shin Band, and SupergirlsTM. On the second night, Kanye West, Gnarls Barkley, Lupe Fiasco, Spank Rock, Girl Talk, Tigra, and Berko will take the stage.

Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse must be pumped to be part of an event "staged in the mythical world of legendary China [with] a spectacular blend of live music, dance, and dazzling special effects." Bets are being placed now as to what their costumes will be, and odds are four to one on a Mulan theme.
