Sean Paul performed a few songs at club Element in NYC, on Sunday, January the 18th.

Though most partygoers were probably very intoxicated by the time SP hit the small stage, that didn’t stop the crowd from trying to get as close as possible to the dancehall star.

Adorned in a few diamond chains including a skull pendant that dazzled in the spotlight, SP performed some of his well know hits including “Punkie,” and “Get Busy.”

The crowd especially got pumped when Estelle appeared from behind one of his burly bodyguards and performed her new single “Come Over” from her album Shine (a track on which Sean Paul is now featured, and is to appear on his next album).

Sean Paul also performed “Watch Them Roll” one of his newer tracks, the video to which has already garnered over 6 million hits on YouTube.

Sadly, Sean Paul left the stage only after about 20 minutes. Leaving patrons who paid the $25 admission fee scratching their heads and milling to the door. After all it was 2 o’ clock in the morning.

According to tropicalfete.com Paul’s next album titled “The Next Thing” is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2009.
