Head Empty 25,151 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Forget fashion. Forget creative concepts. Forget the spectacle, and forget the statement pieces.When you sift through all of Gaga performances and purely look at her technical skills as a solo performer, which performances come out at the absolute top for you? This doesn't necessarily mean just vocals - it also includes things like playing instruments and doing choreography while singing. Simply put: what are the performances that prove to you that she one of the very best of the music industry?I started making a chronological list of the performances that in my opinion have very few flaws, if any. I decided to leave out tour video's, as the list could go on endlessly with performances of Speechless, The Edge Of Glory, or any Cheek To Cheek Tour video. So what do you guys think of my list?:Just Dance (Cherrytree Sessions)Paparazzi (Acoustic, Nova Radio)Speechless (VEVO Launch)The Edge Of Glory (MTV Video Music Awards Japan)Born This Way (BBC Children In Need)Marry The Night (BBC Children In Need)The Star-Spangled Banner (Acapella, NYC Pride Rally)Applause (Acoustic, Sukkiri)ARTPOP (Jimmy Fallon)Do What U Want (ft. Christina Aguilera, American Idol)Applause/New York, New York (Jazz version, SNL)Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (Rehearsal, CBS Special)Bang Bang (CBS special/Cheek To Cheek Tour)Lush Life (Howard Stern)Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye (Jimmy Fallon)I Wish (Stevie Wonder Tribute)The Sound of Music Medley (The Oscars)Do you agree/disagree with any of these performances? What are your own additions? Happiness will never last, darkness comes to kick your ass... ᵃˢˢ 🕺 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Empty 25,151 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I left out one of my favorites, because I'm not sure to what extent the vocals have been done live. Although this performances seem very convincing, there were moments during this special where I thought the vocals were too clear and perfect - namely during Venus and Applause. What makes me suspicious is that her motions sometimes don't match her vocals, and she never runs out of breath. I'm still in doubt whether or not some of the vocals have been edited in post-production, but - if not - these performances are truely spectacular.

AlphaMonster 1,806 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl0N7JM3wZk THIS Her vocals are flawless, to the point even tho she dances full-throttle; she also does choreography as good as dancers.

Warholian 6,880 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Eh Eh on Taratata and I Wish from the Stevie Wonder tribute are my favourite performances from her in my opinion. Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curunir 7,510 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I know this is an obvious reply, but honestly the first thing that comes to mind is the Oscars performance. Nothing else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 My mind INSTANTLY thought the Oscars performance. I think it's pretty obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceGaga 7,585 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 My mind INSTANTLY thought the Oscars performance. I think it's pretty obvious.I agree. For me too. The fact that she had to vocally train for like 3 months or whatever just says it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
