2009>>2013>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2011

Also, 2009 as a whole swayed my decision because there was so much new music in 2009 and Gaga, Katy, and Kesha Rose were dominating. Rihanna was too, I guess but her real domination came later

2009 :legend:  2013 could have been a lot better in my opinion if she went into more detail with her costumes. Like for TF I wish she would have maybe brought the disco stick or the lightning bolt or the crystal glasses. Same with TFM I think she should have brought the big purple jacket and glasses instead of just using the wig. I just think it would have been better if she used more iconic/recognizable accessories. Also I wish she would have somehow incorporated BTW. I know she said the intro was supposed to represent it but I wish she would have done something clearer.

2009. 2013 is not even close to the slayage that was 2009. It would've been better if the original idea wasn't scrapped though :cry:

2009's was iconic.

 

Don't kill me but gagz looks like she has so much botox at the beginning :air:

You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you.

I honestly think the original concept idea for the Applause performance could have topped the 

Paparazzi performance

The 2009 performance was almost perfect, a stunning and theatrical piece! The only downside: Her vocals were autotuned by MTV for the broadcast. Fan recordings clearly show that there was no autotune in the actual performance. Probably not Gagas fault though.

 

The 2013 performance had a fantastic intro with marvelous vocals. But it went downhill from there, everything happened to quick and the vocals were mediocre due to Gagas dancing. The backing vocals where much too loud in the chorus, the volume of the microphone much too low at the end.

It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead.

2009 was better by far, but I loved the 2013 performance and think it was a really strong and fun comeback performance and was perfect as a show opener.

Paparazzi is still her best performance, I still get chills every time. Her vocals were incredible too, just unbeatable.

I think a better poll would be 2011 vs 2013. I think 2011 is really overlooked cause Jo Calderone was sort of a jump the shark moment at the time. The performance is amazing though, so theatrical and uncompromising.

The 2013 performance is nice and has great choreography but that's about it. Vocals were nothing special and it's nowhere near as theatrical or mind blowing

I truthfully say 2013 bc of how melancholy it made me feel bc I was happy she was back but sad bc of all the criticism she'd gotten and was still getting.

LET'S BE REAL if she didn't use blood in the 2009 performance you guys wouldn't care at all bc that's what MADE the performance.

2009 vma is probably the best televised performance of our generation and I can't think of anything else thats more iconic honestly than maybe Billie Jean moonwalk performance and Like a Virgin at MTV but the latter was not acclaimed
