Remembering the Sound of Music Tribute


Fame IV

Fame IV

We're almost celebrating the 3rd anniversary of the tribute to Sound of Music, that happened at the 87th Academy Awards (22 February 2015).

Something unexpected happened at the event: Gaga reinvented herself. But unlike ever before.

When Scarlett Johansson leaned into the microphone and announced the act, people watching the show may have audibly balked: «Gaga is trying Julie Andrews’ songs? the Who does she think she is?»

Gaga was singing for a highly skeptical audience. For one of the first times since she was a newcomer in the music industry, she had to prove herself.  Her blonde hair and lovely gown reflected the gorgeous simplicity of her voice. By the time Andrews walked onstage at the conclusion of the medley, there was not an un-dropped jaw in the audience. When the screen legend gave her successor a hug, Gaga’s brilliant transformation seemed to be complete.

Gaga’s reinvention represents more than just an inspired career move. She has built an important creative bridge from the present to the past, reassuring us that the musical accomplishments of yesteryear will live on thanks to the millennial artists who breathe new life into old material. There is something beautiful and utterly delightful about watching musical legacies continue to thrive. Lady Gaga gave all of us a gift as she reinvigorated artistic masterpieces from the past.

Share your thoughts on this iconic performance :) What was your reaction?

I agree. It brought me to tears. This and Paparazzi (VMAs 2009) can teach the other pop girls important things about talent and hard work.

This performance is certainly one of her best and we should be appreciative that it effectively shifted how the GP perceived Gaga (or at least how they perceived her singing ability) for the most part. It was so amazing to see the media being so in awe towards the performance. I was shocked as well because I didn't even know that she was capable of singing the way she did and so did many other fans. :blink:

After this and Gaga's poignant performance at the 2016 Oscars, she should have an open invite to perform every year (can't wait until "A Star Is Born" if that's the case).

She trained her voice for more than 6 months prior to this performance and it's clear that it paid off so much. :giveup:

This. I was absolutely shocked in the best possible way. Just when you think you've seen it all, she pulls something else from her sleeve.

Also, Bradley applauding her from the audience is pretty cute in hindsight :wub:
