Concert for Diana: CTV.ca's top five moments

It was a spectacle inside Wembley stadium Sunday night with diverse acts from all genres firing on all gears - whipping the 65,000 in attendance into a frenzy. Here's the top five moments of the concert from our vantage point here at CTV.ca.

5. Roger Hodgson's "Give a Little Bit"

He voice might not have been perfect, but he with the billowing white shirt made the stadium feel nice and cozy with his trademark song. Seeing everyone clap in time together was magical -- a kind of moment not often had amongst these large affairs.

4. Kanye West's "Gold Digger/Touch the Sky"

Whenever Kanye hits the stage, there's an explosive energy that can't be beat. His performance of "Gold Digger/Touch the Sky" was classic, and he nailed it. Good on the princes for bringing some authentic urban flavour to the show.

3. Nelly Furtado's "Maneater"

Canada's finest confidently strode across the stage with a rocked out version of her hit song "Maneater." You could see that the crowd, including Prince William and Harry, loved every moment of it. Best part of all? Seeing Toronto MC Saukrates filling in for Timbaland and bringing his raw stage presence to the track. Also, the "clap cam" was in full effect, with the princes clapping away for Furtado.

2. Ricky Gervais's "Free Love on the Free Love Freeway."

This humble scribe can't hide his love for the original UK version of "The Office," so it's no surprise that Ricky Gervais, and his pseudo hit "Free Love," was one of our favourite parts of the show. Well that, and his performances of "The Dance" and "Chubby Little Loser," which was originally performed by David Bowie on his show "Extras," were both an expected treat.

1. Tom Jones singing "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor"

Jones, who is well known for his reinterpretations of classic songs just added the Arctic Monkeys into the canon of songs that people must cover when he did his own horn-infused take on this punky song. I bet the Monkeys probably lost it when he busted this out.
