You Can't Always Get What You Want or I'm Still Standing have different messages too. To say that she is ashamed is a total overreaction! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy 11,874 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 She personally didn’t find it appropriate, that’s fine. She also has a *strong* affinity for music history so I think that’s also an important part in her doing covers. It’s not that she hates her own stuff, it’s that she probably sees herself within the broader landscape of music and if I’m looking at the broader landscape, I think there are better songs for this occasion that Gaga’s. She probably thought the same. Also as an event organizer and such she’s in a different position than Billy Joe Armstrong or The Stones. I think given her position in the event, a cover was most suitable. Plus, Gaga loves singing music in general so covers are going to very much be a thing.

Melodean 8,329 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm glad she didn't perform her own songs! She's not trying to get people to buy her music https://open.spotify.com/track/7q1GGm2mBlC9hPWige0C6e?si=6b5319d0e3b44fa6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2009 she sang Speechless in front of the Queen. If that performance was set nowadays, she would sing a cover. But she did MR not 5 years ago...I think the point is that she still sings her songs at important events lol just not all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,434 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Other people might have sung their own songs but they didn't organize that whole event. It obviously come off a lot different when someone organizes an event like that and then uses it to promote their music. The rolling stones eg are legends who have been in the industry for 40 years (?) So of course people wanna hear their classics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavymlover 340 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I mean, she basically is the face of the event. It lends itself to people claiming she's just promoting her music as it is. She has been doing covers in serious events since forever. I'm sure she would've written something 'appropriate' by now if she really wanted to.

Billie and Lizzo have like 1-2 albums. They have small discographies. I think LG doesn't think she has a lot of appropriate songs. The Cure is arguable, but I think it's risky to sing a song called the cure when there is no cure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
