It's not that you're a bad person, it's just that you're a bit of a drama queen and didn't put much thought into your reaction.

1. Doing that is smart because having only two songs performed would create backlash against not only the Academy, but also Gaga, and make her Best Song win seem less valid and feed the narrative of "it only won because it's a big hit."

2. A 90-second performance of "Shallow" wouldn't happen anyway because the Academy wants ratings and they would make her perform for half an hour if they could. What probably is going to happen is that the other songs get 90-seconds slots while "Shallow" will be performed in full, or at least with the verses shortened.

I mean, I okay with everything but I want Gaga and Bradley to perform Shallow in full, so that 90 seconds thing better be false

Honestly THIS is why I love her. This is why I am proud to say she is my idol and this is why she inspires me to better myself. Choosing to sacrifice your own performance in favour of equality and fairness is the essence of what Gaga is about. Kindness.

Glad some people get it, even if it's just two on every page    

So many people here just seem to forget that Gaga's not... y'know, the only person alive or the only one who made a movie this year It's been the same with ASIB losing awards. Like, yeah, wake up, other people have worked hard as well and deserve the spotlight just as much

Wow this is so sweet of her what a Queen. If this is true tho.

[Runway 27,876]

Okay but the only relevant nominee is Shallow!

Some of you are so weird. It doesn't even sound bad cut down to 90 seconds.

@Admin you should tweet that out so that people on Twitter stop melting down.  

[ThatAsianGuy 2,365]

Smh. U all sounds so selfish. Gaga did the right thing. Do you guys even know equality?

[crisTEAne 21,059]

But if this happens it will still receive the backlash you mentioned at 1

I bet she regret it now that they only let her have 90 sec. 

[Cerny 4,270]

I’m not a fan of shortened performances but this information, if true, changes things and it’s a demonstration of Gaga’s proper etiquette. Favouritism is not cool.

what kind of self-contradiction. 

[CanadaGoesGaga 2,132]

I’d rather 90 seconds then only two performances. It just wasn’t fair. Gaga doing what’s right. 

[avalon x 4,153]

I don't even get what all the whining is about..  just because we won't get to see the full performance? Like.. go watch the enigma one, Gaga's not gonna start spontaneously combusting during the Oscar's.

Or because it will affect the charts?

First of all, she can do whatever she wants. And that being something thoughtful like this makes us lucky to have her.
