2011 VMAS: Why didn’t Gaga perform Judas or TEOG?

[Anderson123 38,415]

Because You and I had been released as a single around that time.

Judas woulda never been done there. It was actually quite poorly received. 

And it was when she was in her you and I era, 2 years after playing it at tmb so I was over it lol I didn't rly like that performance or era tbh

They went by the singles way too fast! 4 singles in 6 months? Way too much pressure! I know Gaga loved to perform and was a workaholic but ugh no wonder her hip couldn't stand. I'm glad she's fine now.

It was theatrics to the next level and I still to this day, think it is brilliant. 

Who would ever thought that she would come to the show as a man? From the opening monologue to the performance to the audiences reactions, it was pure gold! 

A legendary performance no one could pull off except for Gaga 

The acting was questionable. Of course other people can pull it off, but doesn't mean they should, because it's cringy.

Now we wished she would back to that time and create more music videos.

This is literally the same thing as asking why she didn’t perform Just Dance, since it was her first single.

BTW in February, Judas in April.m, Edge of Glory in May then the album. You and I was released in August so that was quite some time, then they pushed Marry The Night for Nov/December.

The only questionable thing I see is your opinion.

They should've done more with Judas. The Judas era was what, less than a month? I believe that once you pick something you've got to be dedicated to it. I saw Gaga's team very greedy when they chose TEOG and Hair as promo singles because they knew one of those would've hit more with the GP. Then Gaga and team had to change up the whole routine for TEOG which I believe was very difficult and strenuous for Gaga. They went too fast and crashed and the era was rather short especially for an album as big as Born This Way.

My biggest problem was the TV ad

do you remember it?

Gaga slaying with Heavy Metal Lover and Government Hooker

i was Sooooo hyped 

then she came dressed as Joe Calderon and she began to talk and talk and talk 

[AlexanderMagno 10,746]

I hope Jo Calderone is dead

Yeah Born This Way was still going strong but I think they wanted to have a Bad Romance 2.0 type of hit with Judas but I guess it got some backlash so the promo singles they released ended up being more successful which is why they went for The Edge of Glory, then of course the music video drama, etc. it was just all over the place and you can tell they were being too greedy and it's probably what made Gaga feel exhausted and used. Gaga wanted Born This Way, Marry The Night, The Edge of Glory and Scheiße to be the singles but anyway, stuff happens.
