what did he say?

i cannot listen to the clip rn.

[Cheap thrills 1,282]

It was that good you never even noticed it

Nice insight!

I'm guessing it's at 5:34 in this, when she moves round and grabs him haha

Still don't really understand why he had to move tho

[The Child 18,997]

I really like what he said, we can see Gaga is a big fan of Bowie.

[Voltaire 4,531]

I love hearing how she wanted to do a full chronological story of WAY too many songs. Goes to show how much she wanted to do for him and his fans.

Very neat clip.

Gaga's idea was better

Who cares that it's the Grammy's? Then do it somewhere else. Don't do it live, record it and put it on YouTube, whatever, who cares? It has to be celebratory because it's the Grammy's? **** that

Yes, clearly still pressed about the lackluster performance we got

in terms of visuals/technical stuff or vocals? i still have the audio of the performance on my phone and tend to listen to it on repeat.   

Spoiler

I enjoyed the vocals a lot Gaga's timbre really comes to life when she sings rock, and the Bowie melodies were perfect for her, though I do think Nile's arrangements were a bit too low in some parts, so Gaga ended up sounding like she was struggling or whatever.

But no, my problem was entirely with everything but the musical performance As an audio I think I could enjoy it very much as well. But when I look at the performance, ugh.. I mean it's all so messy, it actually distracts from what's going on musically. And the visual aspects we did get I found underwhelming and painfully unnecessary for the purpose of the performance.

But Gaga's vocals were werking.

imagine if we had the full versions of the songs. i'd kill for "rebel, rebel," "fame," and "let's dance."
