yASSsss 35,510 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Lady Gaga and Diane Warren co-wrote “Til It Happens To You” specifically forThe Hunting Ground, and then you were asked to participate in the performance of the track. What was it like meeting them? We were all on stage, her choreographer and creative director were positioning us and we looked up and Lady Gaga is just standing there in front of us sobbing. She was really emotional, but also so grateful and thanking us for our support. And then she came through and hugged each of us, commending us on being able to come out and do what we did. She was crying was crying, we were crying. Diane Warren is like losing it. And this was only Friday. What did they say to all of you at the first rehearsal? Diane Warren shared her experience, Lady Gaga shared hers and they explained how everyone involved in the performance has a connection to the issue. It was difficult for her because it's personal. She kept referencing how many people this could impact directly and statistically, just from us being there. She clarified saying, “You're not set decoration. I need you here.” And I believe it. She was so genuine, I don't think I've ever met a person so genuine. And she is a celebrity, you know? So then rehearsal started and in the years I’ve heard her sing, I had never heard her sing like that before. I didn't know anyone could sing like that. It was so raw and real, and at that point I was like, well, I could just go home now! I don't even need to stay for the Oscars.

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 So much for all that bullshit saying she's just doing it to get an award. I wish this spread as much as the Linda Perry story. They were all very brave. I'm so angry at what happened to them, and a big f*ck you to their abusers. Thank you, thank you Gaga and Diane for being among the few to give them a voice. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
