I can't choose because they were both amazing. I live outside the space time continuum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G U C C I 5,465 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,443 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlepotter 74,921 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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 chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother of Puppies 36,397 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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 THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever listen to Germany's national anthem? (where I'm assuming the user is from based on his instagram) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crybrowz 3,246 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
