Talk about GAGA'S ACTING here (NO SPOILERS THREAD)

[ManuelColon 702]

Weird line delivery, but that was totally expected. The scene with Cheyenne was kinda bad, it just sounds so off, i don't like it. And the character now seems kinda sweet with the kid scene, i was used to the thought of ''The Countess'' being very neutral and bad.

she was awesome!!!!!!!

She looks great naked and covered in blood next to matt bomer!

I had the highest of expectations and she shattered them.

the kid scene proved how evil she was!!!

AS OF NOW.... 2.5/5

Shes so new. Other actors was on point in their characters. But her, not so much.

Im not sure if I was watching Gaga or the countess. The delivery of lines was a bit off.

very very very fresh villain! i love her!! i love the season concept. i love how everything feels claustrophobic as ****. all her shots are a work of art. i hope she will go into season 6 as well. i can see how people get interrest in her because of this

[EssenceOfPop 215]

She took intimidation to a whole new level, she was just right, so perfect. Honestly! Cunning, witty, nefarious motives. She is definitely the big bad ruthless, manipulating vixen this season. SO ASTONISHED BY HER PORTRAYAL.

 

BUT GUYS THAT PREMIERE. HHAJHUDGYFHSUGUOADU SLAYSUAHSUGYDFYUDAUB.,.,d

I don't get these criticisms about her lines at all. She's supposed to be doing it that way: semi-detached, seen-it-all yet commanding (towards employees like Kathy Bates, for example) or vaguely sweet in her own menacing way (with the kid). It's meant to feel surreal, including the way she talks - the hotel itself is supposed to have an aura of being detached from time and space, existing in its own world - and the supposed mix of accents (which I didn't find all that forced or even present that much) account for the long, long time she's been alive and interacted with people from all over the world who came to the Cortez.

She's an indifferent spirit roaming the place who seeks thrills in "the little pleasures" (err, killing) and something resembling affection from her (kidnapped) children.

Haters gonna hate ... for me i enjoyed the part with her  

[JustPokeHerFace 2,564]

Her line delivery could use some improvement (which I think it will over the course of the season) but overall I think she did great. I love her movement acting, and her facial expressions were wonderful. 

And I loved tonight's episode too, it was shocking (two scenes in particular), and it reminded me of Asylum's where a bunch of storylines are started, and they'll all roll out and connect with each other over the course of the season.

im sorry...but the whole "long time alive" is a bit stretch for me. One episode and it feels like you know her. Lets just wait and watch. Im sure she will improve.

[Mister Gaga 22,889]

She's not Meryl Streep. But her moments on screen were good, and the 6 minute opening scene is AMAZING. Despite the lack of dialogue, her expressions were great.

 

She'll improve with every chapter 

[Twitter 14]

She makes a great actress. It beats those cameos she's done in movies before 

[Luv u Sum 2,377]

She did okay but based on the trailer for future episodes she looks freaking amazing! It is only the first episode so lets cut her some slack

Um, what? There's a lot I (and *we*) don't know about her, obviously. But in interviews it's been made clear she's been the owner of the Cortez for a very long time. Besides, since when is truly feeling the character and being able to a--lyze them and personally getting what they're about on some level at such an early stage a bad thing? 

I'm unsure why you're criticizing my personal opinion, though? It makes you sound like one of the if-you-dare-praise-Gaga-you're-delusional brigade, to be honest. One can like her performance in the premiere just fine and disagree that she needs to improve in order to even enjoy her presence on the show.

EDIT: Man, sorry for those typos. I'm such a mess.

She did a terrific job.
