You're all idiots.

It was spectacular.

They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be.

The nicest thing I can say about Lady Gaga's Grammys tribute to David Bowie is that I fully believe Gaga believes it was a tribute. She sang David Bowie songs. She dressed in David Bowie costumes. She sounded really good.

But still, the tribute felt a little messy and chaotic.

The main problem was that Gaga attempted to squeeze in too many songs. She started off beautifully with "Ground Control to Major Tom," but as she segued from hit to hit — like when she began to sing "Rebel Rebel," for example — the changes in tone and her performance became distracting. She was running across the stage, vamping all over the place (she basically looked like an Elvis impostor while singing "Fashion"), and her kinetic energy made the performance feel more like Rocky Horror Picture Show or Monster Mash than a tribute to Bowie. Picture a drag version of a Bowie performance, as opposed to an actual Bowie performance.

That's not to say there weren't pockets of greatness, like certain riffs in Gaga's rendition of "Heroes," or her energy in "Rebel Rebel." But compressing all of Bowie's hits into one performance didn't allow Gaga to really do them justice, nor did it allow us to appreciate them.

It was ok! But really Gaga has had more interesting piano's for a random performance on Ellen. And those projections weren't anything new or groundbreaking!

 

Bring on LG5!! This is becoming sooooo boring waiting!

What I posted on GAGA Daily fb.....It was very different. Please tell what artist on that stage tonight was similar to Gaga? None! I really don't expect her to part the red sea with her technology. The changing face images was enough to blow my mind and the rest was purely Gaga paying tribute to a legendary artist. RIP Bowie. ?

New or groundbreaking? Well we've not seen them in mainstream use wtf! Holographic smoke and space effects that responded to movement?? LIVE facial recognition mapping? Onto her face! If that's not groundbreaking to the mainstream market I don't know what is.

It would have been better if she only sang Space Oddity. 

A full performance only singing that song with the help of intel.  oh well
