G U C C I 2,864 Posted January 25 To me both versions are amazing and I love that they are so different. The 2016 one is better vocally but I chose 2021 because of how gorgeous she looked and the emotion she was able to convey while singing it. Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
Killa 11,766 Posted January 25 2021 for the look the other was very musical and well interpreted. Unfortunatelty if she would nail in 2021 shed have to bore you in a way. Singing with the band in such conditions where theres no comunication is extremely difficult. Rythm is the most important thing, you must be a metronome. She was very smart bringing the pianist. And ofc the pressure for inauguration is even higher. Tho the other had her reputation on the line 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

littlepotter 47,047 Posted January 25 (edited) 22 minutes ago, MOT said: I wouldn't disagree with any of that, and I hadn't thought about the possible meaning of splitting land, I wouldnt put that past her, but in deciding on the arrangement I presume you also have to factor in what you think you're capable of, or what rehearsals tell you you're capable of. I think it's technically easier for her to have continued on the same tempo as the previous line. Her slowing it down makes it harder. It's a lot easier to belt out a high note at the end of a line rather than just belt straight out of silence like she did with "there" because it's harder to get it directly on pitch (and that's why she was a bit shaky there). So it's definitely a choice for emphasis imo Edited January 25 by littlepotter won't you come with me? 2 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

So if Gaga had never sung it, I probably wouldn’t have heard it so far 🤷🏼♂️ 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

MotherOfPuppies 5,338 Posted January 25 (edited) Gaga is even competing against herself. I loved both performances so much... outfit-wise I loved 2021 a lot more and there was even more emotions... vocally I thought both performances were absolutely great.... so I'm gonna go with 2021 Edited January 25 by NickyPuppy I have to laugh.

Rebel 460 Posted January 25 There's a key change in 2016 that sounds close to Whitney. It was perfect. Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Do you ever listen to Germany's national anthem? (where I'm assuming the user is from based on his instagram) Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
Amphetamine 2,956 Posted January 25 OT: both were beautiful but I preferred the pacing of the super bowl version. The inauguration version seemed a bit rushed at moments, but in terms of appearance I liked what she was wearing better at the inauguration. Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
