MonsterOfSpain 8,318 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Although I feel like most of you that the Intel collaboration was overhyped, it still was an incredible tribute to Bowie's art. It made me appreciate him as an icon more and I was so happy to see Gaga honoring her idol in such a proud and energic way, it was an amazing performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahkeenasitka 1,995 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 my roommate, who is neither a fan of Gaga or a fan of Bowie, saw the performance last night and was completely HOOKED. and LOVED IT. He thought it was Gaga's best performance in so many years, it was overwhelming... everybody's gonna have different take-aways. I was trying to tell him that for Gaga, this wasn't her best performance... i wanted him to compare it to Bang Bang or the Frank Sinatra performance...

wahkeenasitka 1,995 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I will say this, the pre-performance promo videos were significantly more interesting, visually & aesthetically. LOVED the super futuristic look and was hoping for more of THAT. i would be stoked to see a new LG5 era that is filled with that futuristic, sci-fi, alien space goddess look.

If she sings with her personality, the Bowie fans would have seen it as "making it all about herself" and if she sings completely emulating Bowie which she did, fans would've said it was a "why's she trying to copy Bowie, such no talent!/ lack of gaga in it". Personally when i saw the performance on hd, it was visually stunning! It was the fastest 7 minutes of my life! Eactly. She will never be able to please everyone, esspecially at a time when fans are still mourning his death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

outtahere 336 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 She was amazing-the projection was off-in the wrong place after the spider which is crazy considering all the work they put in. They could have done that part longer for sure or down cooler projections like in the video I saw about face projection. But Gaga was amazing and I loved it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkTheFunk 124,437 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I didn't like the way the performance was put together. Way too many songs squeezed into 6 minutes, and as a result it lost clarity and felt rushed. They should've just stuck to a 3 or 4 song medley. "Space Oddity," "Starman," "Life On Mars" and end it off with "Heroes" or something like that. And Intel should've kept its damn mouth shut about how "everything will change" on Grammy night. The tech was cool and I can see that a lot of work went into it but I wasn't blown away at all. If they had just said "Gaga is going to perform with some cool new tech by Intel" before the performance I would've had a better reaction to it. With all that being said, I still think Gaga absolutely slayed and did the best with what she had. I can't think of any other contemporary pop star who could've pulled it off as well as she did.

Kayla 7,595 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 It's so dumb because usually tributes are a lineup of musicians singing songs together like a chorus. She puts on an actual show that more accurately reflects Bowie and people say it's not good enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly how I feel. For a tribute performance, while it was rushed, it was still a good tribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can admit that gaga is not always delivering a good show and that is okay? We still love her. So what if she messed up this time? It was not even her own music so it's okay. There are negative threads because we have a group of hysterical, immature types here. The majority of the stans, casual fans, viewers and music media loved it! What are you going on about? There was absolutely no way that performance woukd be considered to be something Gaga messed up on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, just ignore GD for few days, its better for your nerves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
