Bebe 17,101 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 During The Fame, Gaga occasionally treated us to performances featuring her classical piano skills. These performances were very theatrical and really highlighted her skills as a pianist. She drew comparisons to Elton John with her up-tempo performances. These performances didn't necessarily highlight the full potential of her abilities vocally, but it did show how great she could be at the piano. Post-TF Gaga's piano based songs became ballads. They are vocally more impressive with more serious subject matter, but they don't really show how competent she playing the piano. So what performances do you prefer? Both types highlight one of Gaga's strongest talents, but at a slight trade off. Do you vote for the theater chick playing fun up-tempo pop songs? Or the lady boasting hard rock vocals with her emotional ballads? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Child 18,997 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The first, it made Poker Face even more famous just like Paparazzi & it made them more loved by the GP. ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 4,145 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I never thought I'd vote for anything from The Fame era as my fave but I think I prefer her classical styled piano playing. But I do love those powerhouse vocals she has these days. I'd be so happy if she had a balance between both. EDIT: WAIT she does a have a good balance between the two. The vocals in the chorus of paparazzi are powerful but the piano playing is still good. ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 17,101 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I absolutely loath Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) tbh, but if the album version was piano based like the video above it would be my favourite Gaga track. I'm in love with that performance.Her piano performances of Poker Face, Paparazzi, Fooled Me Again among others take the tracks to another level imo. So based on that I would vote for her TF piano performances.I love her ballads though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
