SlaeUrAnus 15,976 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I watched it and I cringed I did not feel this performance at all. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 OMG they showed it on TV in my country.And I was so embarassed that people watched that performance Btw I saw the live-streaming and even though I got the message of the performance it made feel horrible.It was just too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwontell 7,312 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I was like "oh my god, what's happening", but at the same time I knew right away it would be iconic and that it would be remembered for a long, long time (in a couple of years we'll look back at this as a brilliant moment, I believe)... I have to say I loved the way it made me feel something (how many perfectly passable performances have you seen that made you feel nothing at all?) and how it's truly the antithesis of what a pop act is supposed to be: its dirty, it's obscene, it's uncomfortable, it's ugly, she's filled with drugs and hate...and yet isn't it precisely what everyone was begging to see back then, Gaga having a real, public breakdown? No other popstar would have the balls... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.

Austin 915 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 When Millie Brown was sticking her fingers down her throat, I gagged, and not in a good way. A very queasy performance for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,950 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I got the message but I honestly hated the performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlop 4,773 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It was just a mess. I don't think it did anything to her era, as it didn't get much press tbh. People were already not caring about her at this point. I wish the dreadlock weave was used in a better performance. The whole singing Dope while being under the influence of drugs and alcohol really disgusted me too. The vomit was probably the best part.

Juvi 1,639 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 i wished for this look for the whole era and i was praying that ARTPOP was a joke and she is going to release an album full of songs fitting this aggressive image! w/ Swine & Aura on that album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CakeLikeLG 6,275 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Slayage surprisingly she did not receive a huge backlash for this. Only Demetria tried it lol live each day like Gaga might drop an album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haroon 49,685 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I read the posts and comments before watching the actual performance so I was expecting absolute hell, like literally being dunked in vomit or something The actual performances I liked quite a lot, the thing I had the most problem with was the spinning spit that Gaga was on because it didn't rotate evenly, it'd be better if it was fully stable and could withstand gravity in a way which didn't make the spinning turbulent but that kinda shows that my problems with the show were very little and unimportant Seemed like a great show to me, her attitude was awesome throughout the festival Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebs 1,809 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 are you kidding me? this is one of the most exciting parts of Gaga's entire career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashellartfunk 292 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I remember I woke up to it and watched it as I was heading to school. It was 7AM and I gagged the **** outta myself that I almost puked in the middle of the bus, I swear. I was shocked. But then few hours later I got over it and started to like it. And then I loved it.
