itmightberyan 21 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 One thing I'm struggling with on AHS is getting past Lady Gaga as who I know her to be. With the other characters it seems easy to fall into their characters and believe them. I don't go "Sarah Paulson!" when she is on screen, I'm not as involved with Sarah outside this project. When Gaga is on screen my first thought is "It's Gaga!"That's not necessarily her fault, but she is so familiar to me that it's hard for me to separate. I'm on her fansite everyday, I watch all her interviews and her performances and appearances. When she is on screen I am so aware of who she is.It makes it hard for me to really rate her at this point. I'm hoping I will be able to shake off that awareness and be engrossed with her character the more this season progresses. This is me exactly right now. It's proving difficult to really see her acting cause I can see her own personal mannerisms and character traits slipping through, but that's purely because I know her so well..

djBuffoon 11,967 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I have her a 7 but it's extremely hard to rate. Her physicality is so strong and specific, and her line readings are uncanny and bizarre. The latter is not a bad thing, but I'm trusting that as we get to know Elizabeth better, Gaga's character choices will make more and more sense. For a novice actor, my hat is off to her for going for it and not shying away from being really, really strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaPolice 4,731 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 It would be a 6,5 with large room for improvements for me, but I put 7 cause I trust her capacity ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow 1,582 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hmm, too early to say yet. She was very good visually and in non-verbal acting and thats pretty damn hard! So big plus for that. Maybe her line delivery wasnt The best, YET. I think she will only get better. I'll get back to this... Happy for now. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yASSsss 35,510 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 gave her 6 ...when she delivered the dialogues,it seemed kinda robotic,however the orgy scene was perfect. Call me by your name and I'll call you by mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewUsername 10,917 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The faces and expressions she makes, overall posture and movements: spot on!The lines: up til now sometimes slightly forced. The "this can never happen again" was spot on though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

asana15 16,648 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'm withholding my judgement until we're a few episodes in.It's not fair to her.I want give her more chances to impress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassex 1,169 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 7. To be honest, I was waiting for something more ''intense''. Like a different tone of voice and a certain kind of behavior. She was very much like herself actually. Let's see how the character changes during the season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji 20,113 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I need to see way more to give a fair rating. I think she done a great job but we need to see more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APPLAUSE4YOU 390 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Here's the problem with rating her performance: it's just TOO early to rate yet.Based on this initial performance, I would give her a solid 6/10 but it's still a bit unfair to say just yet. Her character had very little dialogue (and it seemed a tad awkward at some points) but her visual presence and overall body language is impeccable. She will have more dialogue and character development as the season goes on and we will then be able to give her a more accurate, fair rating.But like I said, I personally think it's too soon.

To be honest, I was waiting for something more ''intense''. Like a different tone of voice and a certain kind of behavior. She was very much like herself actually. Let's see how the character changes during the season!I agree, I really want to see her convey emotion. That, in my opinion, will be the selling point. I want to see her be scared, worried, and enthusiastic. I need to feel her emotion in her lines. Her body posture is great but her lines can use some work. For example, after the orgy, she was great, but when talking to Will Drake she could use some improvement. It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
