Pop 4,541 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I feel like the performance would get significantly less criticism if Gaga toned down the impersonator drag costumes she did at The Grammy's. I feel like a more toned down look with one or two iconic Bowie moments going on (orange hair, lightning bolt) would have made it look less like a Las Vegas impersonator act, which is the main criticism of the performance. I feel like this would make the performance look less busy and messy. That said, it was still a quality performance - but honestly, I expected more.

Benji 20,113 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Like I said already in another thread... I think the performance would have been better if it was more emphasis on Gaga, herself, paying tribute to Bowie in her own style rather than trying to emulate Bowie's look and voice. She could have really slayed some of those songs if she sang them in her natural voice. Still, it was a great performance but I wish it was more Gaga because it did become a little more of an impersonation than a tribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 98,225 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I actually think the opposite, it was the coolest thing about her performance, her being there. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm they can deal with that, it's their issue I think a majority of us liked the performance, it's just it could have gone a little better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstereo 1,232 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I agree. It was too obvious, and her red carpet look felt like a cosplay/haloween costume. I think having blonde hair would've made things a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Tulip 12,428 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It was a hot ass mess. It would have been cool to see FameGa paying tribute to David Bowie because it would have felt more authentic and less try hard and desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatelynnMarie 4,406 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I loved the performance tbh. I feel she did Bowie justice. However I keep seeing people bad mouth it by saying it looked like bad karaoke and that they hoped she would fall while spinning. I'm not really sure why people are so "appalled" honestly. It's Gaga. Bowie is an idol of hers, of course she is going to bring her and Bowie's eccentricity to the table. I personally wish Intel's part of the performance wasn't so hyped into being this life changing spectacle. Yes it is a breakthrough in technology in terms of it being live, and it was really really cool, but I feel let down a tiny bit as far as that's concerned. Gaga herself did a phenomenal job and I wish people would give the woman more goddamn credit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edonis 28,950 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I actually loved the red carpet look. A friend of mine who is a die hard Bowie fan actually cried tears of joy when she saw the iconic blue make up and fire red hair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show us how he inspired her. Guess she didnt have much tine to think deeply about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicholic 3,694 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 At the end of the day this won't even be a footnote in Gaga's career It was an opportunity to show people why Gaga became Gaga in the first place And it's almost like - "I know I will never fill his shoes, but I'll at least wear them, literally." And it was the safest opportunity to see where the public is at with her brand of theater/music, after national anthem at super bowl and before oscars There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.
