manicholic 3,694 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I've tried to like David Bowie's music for over 15 years now and yet Gaga's performance was the only thing related to Bowie that I ever came close to liking There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

Akbar Yunadi 143 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's so confusing to me. I think probably Bowie is dissapointed by Gaga copying his signature, that lightning on his face, or what? Gaga mentioned that she's inspired and has huge respect to him. Even she has that tattoo of him and the fame was her appreciation and paying respect to him. Why can't people just embrace it rather than dissing it. I'm dissapointed by them who diss her performance . Why couldn't they just work it out together, and made a very nice ceremonial of remembering Bowie at the very first place? Gaga did everything she could to respect him and giving her best to put the best show ever to honor his death and what she got is rubbish. I'm disgusted. akbaryunadi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have cut a song or two. Stuck with the beginning, the moving keyboard and then into Heros with the holograms. They're different tributes. Lorde's was sensitive, but her voice did not suite Life on Mars. She sounded really flat. Vocally it just ain't good, the band drowned her. And is there really a difference between Gaga singing ten songs and literally physically translating his imageries, vs the band playing ten songs and literally tacking on his videos on a big screen? To kind of piss on Nile Rogers and Gaga, it's just tacky and in poor taste. Either way, both could have done better. But Gaga's tribute was more entertaining to watch.

retroglamx 5,177 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 44 minutes ago, Bebe said: David Bowie’s former drummer Mick “Woody” Woodmansey has taken aim at the Grammys’ tribute to Bowie in a new interview with NME. Woodmansey, who played in the Spiders From Mars between 1970 and 1973, said he and Tony Visconti turned down an invite to partake in the performance, which Lady Gaga fronted alongside Nile Rodgers, because the idea seemed “tacky.” “We looked at it and it was going to be like 14 or 15 songs in the space of four minutes,” Woodmansey said, “and we just went ‘no, **** off, that’s stupid, that’s not going to represent anything good about him.’” He went on, “It was just, ‘why are you doing it?’ If there’s a genuine heartfelt thing that you wanna do out of respect, then you’d probably pull it off, but if there’s any other reason, it just gets tacky, and obviously you can’t stop that, they have a right to do it as they want to do it, but it doesn’t help a lot, it doesn’t do a lot.” Woodmansey wasn’t the performance’s first detractor—most notably, Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, appeared to diss it on Twitter, prompting Rodgers to speak up in defense.

retroglamx 5,177 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Although I kind of wanted Gaga to only do 3 songs... Maybe Let's Dance, Life on Mars and then Heroes. Pink flamingos always fascinated me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
