While appearing at the [final rally](http://time.com/4561914/watch-live-hillary-clinton-philadelphia-bruce-springsteen-bon-jovi/) to support [Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4560963/global-vote-hillary-clinton-president-good-country/) before the presidential election, [Lady Gaga](http://time.com/4550981/lady-gaga-fourth-no-1-album-joanne/) paid tribute to another cultural icon — [Michael Jackson](http://time.com/3924736/michael-jackson-alix-dejean-nathan-bajar-photos/).

The [_Joanne_ singer](http://time.com/4548848/lady-gagas-dive-bar-tour-trayvon-martin-joanne/) wore a black jacket with a red arm band and silver medallion that appeared to at least reference the same one King of Pop wore to the White House in 1990 to meet then-president George H.W. Bush.

Gaga, [who’s talked about her affinity for MJ memorabilia in the past](http://time.com/4545657/lady-gaga-james-corden-carpool-karaoke/), was on deck to give a speech toasting Clinton before joining Jon Bon Jovi to sing a rendition of his hit, “Living On a Prayer.”

See how Gaga’s looks compare to Jackson and see her sing with Bon Jovi below.

Watch them sing below.
