Lady Gaga and R. Kelly served up a sizzling performance at 2013 American Music Awards held on Sunday at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

The 27-year-old singer performed a presidential themed version of her song “Do What U Want” with R. Kelly, who played the American president while Gaga appeared as a Marilyn Monroe type character.

At one point in the performance, R. Kelly sings, “You’re the Marilyn, I’m the president, and I’d love to hear you sing, girl.”
