Greg 6,330 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It's a bit of a tricky situation. I could totally see Gaga bringing Kesha as her 'date' to the Oscars, but also see it backfiring, saying both were using the situation for publicity. The same would probably be said if Kesha performed it with Gaga. I reckon the most powerful thing would be something more subtle. If 'Free Kesha' was to appear on a screen behind Gaga after the performance, I feel that would have more of an impact because people would feel it was genuine. Let's face it though, no matter what Gaga does people will turn it around and say Gaga is using the issue she sings about for self promotion. I personally love that Gaga is being vocal on the situation, and although I can see how powerful it would be, it could have the complete opposite effect its intended to have.

LaLuna 12,732 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Don't think so. She's in a complicated situation, plus she might still be too emotionally fragile to consider such a huge performance. 8 minutes ago, KURUSHITOVSKA said: "Gaga won her award because they knew she would bring Kesha onstage" "Gaga used Kesha's issue for publicity" Yeah I see it. Also this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 4,065 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Trying to commercialize that issue through a performance looks like intentional and would rub wrong impressions to Gaga. There are other means of bringing awareness of Kesha's sufferings. Don't get me wrong, but I only think this way because most people around here would just like Gaga to perform with Kesha for the sake of good promo. 00026 † 10000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre 10,480 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Not sure if I want to ser her perform with Gaga, but will be nice to see her leading a chorus of people. ❝Is not blue, not turquoise, not lapis. It's actually cerulean❞. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a free kesha sign would be great. A performance could backfire for Gaga, but she probably doesn't care. Maybe if Gaga wins the oscar, Kesha could walk to the stage with her and have a little speech? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 26,836 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I mean Kesha performed only two months ago, I know it wasn't televised but I'm assuming the principles are still the same And she sang Blow and Timber, two songs worked on with Dr. Luke soooo... She's also performed at other events last year iirc. I don't know the details of her contract but I do know that you're allowed to perform covers at any event without permission. The only time you need to get permission from someone is if any recording using someone's work is sold. So for example if a live tour DVD was released and a cover song was part of the show, you'd need permission to include it in the film... Whether Kesha's allowed to get up on stage and sing someone else's song on TV with them... Idk but I can't see why it would be a breach. I also don't know whether it would be a good idea or not. I know Gaga would have good intentions to use the platform to draw attention to the matter, but it would come across as exploitive to a lot of people. But it's important to remember that Kesha would've had to say yes and it's her case. She wouldn't do it if she didn't want to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernster7 7,922 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I don't know if I would like this to happen, I mean it would be extremely beautiful and just stupid people would say it's for publicity, but I wanted a Gaga solo performance, she could honor Kesha and all the other victims in another way. I'll be happy either way tho. Lovely. Monsters never die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not necessarily negative) I actually dont mind this change though since we dont have any clue what the original performance is supposed to be but I'm pretty sure it was just Gaga behind a piano, only this time with Kesha. I didn't mind the Bowie change but Intel's hype was detrimental and made our expectations too high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebs 1,809 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I don't think so. The academy should allow the duet and it would be pretty controversial so I don't know. But she's probably going to dedicate it to kesha in some way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

braybray23 248 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Highly unlikely but it would be completely selfless of her to just have kesha sing the whole song lol but it would be a huge statement not an okra Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Gangsta 6,693 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Well she should at least make her her +1 at the event. Walking on the red carpet together and sitting next to her in the audience. Like Selena is for Taylor. This way meaning of the song would still apply to all the victims but also she would raise awarness about kesha's case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
