I am so done with some of you on here who are literally incapable of recognising artistic brilliance when it’s staring you straight in the face. Seriously go off on a f*cking gap year, educate yourself and LEARN-SOME-TASTE. This has gotta be one of the coolest performances Gaga has done in years! High fashion, dark chaotic Mayhem energy on a minimal set. Full emphasis on the music. This is quintessential artistic Lady Gaga! Serving 80’s New Wave performances like the Eurythmics and Gary Newman, classic Glam Rock like David Bowie, visceral dark 90’s Metal and Industrial Rock like Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, and even more alternative bands like Tool. All of which don’t need choreography and backing dancers, but just stand and perform as actual music artists. To have her, front and centre on the deck and keyboard, leading the construction of the song as an actual musician is essential to the message she was conveying that night - to celebrate the female producer. And between two music legends, Ilan Rubin (from Nine Inch Nails) and Andrew Watt,...amazing. They became a real band for that performance. Oh and that “Ikea lamp shade”... classic 2009 Alexander McQueen mate. Straight from 'The Horn of Plenty' collection. The level of art and fashion culture encapsulated in that look alone is mammoth. Abracadabra may not be an Avant Garde song, but she transformed it into one with this performance. Emphasis of high fashion, alt music genres, the chaotic darkness of Industrial Rock and trippy 80's New Wave, visceral abstract performance art, the camera exploring angles of her body like a fashion photographer. Genius. I truly hope she does more stuff like this! Get them again for me…! The fact that the naysayers can’t grasp that this performance is about the invocation and creation of Abracadabra to emphasize the musicianship and production of all parties on the track is disheartening to say the least. Furthermore, the camera angles invoking at times B-movie horror angle shots is absolutely intentional! The “janky” arm movements (besides technical issues with the robot arm), is meant to be disorienting! It’s no coincidence at times that some of the angles make it look like Gaga is in front of stadium lights and the minimalist-maximalist stage production (pyrotechnics, sparks, smoke, etc.) is about the merging of the creation of Abracadabra with a “larger than life” vision that she has for the song. And as you say, Gaga taking pop music and making it more experimental with avant garde fashion and performance is literally why we are all her fans is it not? Sorry, not to piggy back/hijack your discussion, but you succinctly said all that I’ve been thinking and just had to add an addendum lol 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa 18,109 Posted Monday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:58 PM (edited) Terrific performance and look. Love that this One was much more avant garde rather than stage costume. She sang like if doesn't nail It, its back on Ikea parking lot for her. Edit I felt It very McQueen but i did not recognized the look at all. No wonder It was Amazing. Anyhow It was chosen, worn and used in perfect Harmony. Which isnt as Easy as It May seem. Edited Wednesday at 03:58 AM by Killa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrangea 6,632 Posted Monday at 04:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:06 PM Well I liked it. The fact that I knew she was wearing McQueen ready to wear fall 2009 made me feel like an in the know gay for the first time ever. And I loved the skewed sharp moving camera angles. Some people will just never be happy Put your paws all over me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eilim 378 Posted Monday at 04:12 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:12 PM (edited) Yeah the cameraman was an artist <3 I'm convinced that the experience was more fun entertaining for us in front the screen with that camera movements effect as Gaga can't much moving with her hat.

chewing on pearls 574 Posted Monday at 04:13 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:13 PM to us, this is one of her greatest award show performances of all time: a refining of her essential gaga-isms that exemplifies her core abilities as a musician and performer. not to mention mcqueen's 'horn of plenty'... a collection about the darkness of the fashion industry, about death and rebirth. there's a lot gaga is saying here! kind of felt like the older, wiser sister to her 'dance in the dark' performance at the britpop awards back in the day 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
