This is better than Gaga's bowie performance imo.

As much as I adore Gaga's Bowie tribute, and while I don't think Lorde could do Life on Mars justice vocally, does anyone else here think that THIS sort of tribute would have been more suitable? An instrumental medley, and a full performance of a song or two?

Yep, this is how Gaga should have done it.

Lorde singing it in her actual voice >>> Trying to impersonate Bowie

Ugh at them holding Adele until the end like the X Factor finale  

[Mark 4,065]

All I can say is, sorry Gaga. Start from the speech to the performance, it was flawless.

I love Lorde, but is this live? Sounds pre-recorded to me? Either way, it's a nice tribute!

One time I also thought she lipsynced. Like, her mouth was still closed but vocals were already to be heard, unless I am mistaken.

I liked that it wasn't just snippets of lots of songs like Gaga's tribute though

Let's pray she doesn't go near a cape

although i love lorde, that's the only bowie song she could've not butchered tbh 

but it was a good performance! the band was amazing

[ShockPop 7,747]

She's not a good singer.

I cried during the speeches, so emotional, but this kind of cliched tribute isn't very Bowie at all.

Soon as I watch Adele I'm going to stop watching.

[Greg 6,330]

I think that was very fitting for the Brits! 

[Poot 719]

this is how gaga shoulda done it, no hype, great performance

[Iwontell 7,312]

Lorde did a beautiful job. 

[KaanBTW 5,244]

Very cute and nice tribute. Lorde.

does it really matter? her performance was great and she chose the right song

Yeah I have to agree, the whole thing was done better than the Grammys tribute for him. I appreciate the spectacle of Gaga's performance but I have a feeling that it was only so over the top because they already has so much planned with the Intel stuff that they couldn't go back on them. A shame as it just ended up looking like her doing a drag tribute to him. Even though the performance was good and she did well, it wasn't entirely appropriate for a tribute to someone who just passed.
