I kinda agree with the review of Tony / Gaga performance... It could have been skipped... To me it was too short and they should have done a medley...

Rih Kanye and Paul was the best performance tbh. The star power and stage presence was unbeatable and they all killed it. 

 

The Tony Gaga score is too low but it wasn't a highlight performance overall. Still great though they did their thing

There’s still something a little odd about this pairing, but on balance, Bennett’s cool stillness and Gaga’s hyperactive theater kid-stylings average out to something that felt competent and professional, if somewhat unremarkable. Sure, Gaga sounded good and Bennett still charms at 88 years old, but in a show that is gloriously overstuffed, this probably could have been skipped in the running order with nobody noticing.

Whats madonnas? I cant view it.

Here you go : 

 

Madonna, “Living For Loveâ€

When Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj introduced their "b---h Madonna†(with Miley giving the sheepish apology of an embarrassed daughter: “She made me call her thatâ€), we knew we were in for a treat. Madge’s latest incarnation seems to be some sort of s-xy bullfighter at the center of a satanic ritual, complete with bull-horned men with bedazzled masks stolen straight from Kanye’s Yeezus Tour trailer. The arrangement didn’t lend anything new to the song, but Madonna’s strength has always skewed toward performing, not singing. Tonight's show, while bizarre, was definitely captivating. There were a few sleepy moments, dangerously reminiscent of Britney’s soporific 2007 VMA performance of “Gimme More,†but once the full gospel choir emerged in red robes, we were pulled right back into the devil's lair.

Yeah, indeed... I didn't want to write that yesterday because everyone was just raving over it and I didn't want to sound like a downer, but the show was so overstuffed..... and in the end, there was so little time for TonyGaga. And I feel like Gaga oversang it a little bit. I've watched the performance a second time today and liked it better (I think I was also really nervous when I saw it live..... I swear, it couldv'e been me onstage at that moment, I was shaking :toofunny: ). To be pretty honest, "Cheek To Cheek" isn't necessarily the most remarkable song of the album in the first place, so whatevs.

Yes definitely not the best performance... honestly I'm disappointed and I agree about the fact Gaga oversang..

Not a performance to remember during CtC era..

Though I'm glad the performance helps the sales and that she was happy to be there...

I just hope next year she'll be performing something more Gaga than Lady...

Also, everyone at the Grammys took this opportunity to sing something very low-key (even Katy Perry and Rihanna, I mean....), so in the end, what could've been a refreshing and different performance ended up diluted in the mass.
