After Madonna's induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame by Justin Timberlake, instead of singing, she lets none other than Iggy Pop sing 'Ray of Light' on her behalf. The crowd seemed stunned. Check it out for yourself. At 49, Madonna was the youngest performer honored at the hall's 23rd ceremony, held at the Waldorf-Astoria, and the only one to nab the distinction her first time out. (Performers become eligible 25 years after their first commercial recordings.)"Nobody has ever gotten to the Hall of Fame while still looking this damned fine," Justin Timberlake told the whooping crowd. He delivered an innuendo-laden tribute to Madonna that referenced Britney Spears: He observed that the world is "full of Madonna wannabes — and I may have dated a couple."Madonna's speech had its share of salty jokes and saucy moments. But the pop star was also openly, deeply appreciative, even to the critics who called her "chubby" and "one-hit wonder": "They pushed me to be better."WRAP UP:Gamble & Huff, Little Walter, The Ventures, Leonard Cohen, Madonna, and John Mellencamp got inducted.Leonard Cohen was introduced by Lou Reed and covered by Damien Rice who covered "Hallelujah."Billy Joel introduced John Mellencamp, and people in the heartland learned for the first time last night Billy is "Jewish, not Italian."To view some pics from the event, "CLICK HERE":CH[CH]http://www.usatoday.com/life/gallery/day/flash.htm?gid=56&aid=2169
