OMonster 14,985 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I haven't seen this interview with Ben Winston (Grammys producer) discussed on here yet: Interesting that the article also suggests that Andrew Watt originated the rock arrangement for Abracadabra. Hopefully suggests they're still working together and he'll be involved with LG8. subtext / fantasy 17 5 8 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 121,605 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It's always funny and amusing how she's at the top of her creativity when she doesn't have time and doing something last minute So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy 19 9 2 1 1 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavadour 2,606 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 And even when all the whiners and complainers read this, they'll still find a way to grumble and criticize. Let's give them a pacifier and put them to bed! Late to the party but I got a diamond heart 8 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starmie25 20,840 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) I am positive a big theatrical, choreo production would've been grand, however I actually love what we got with just her, the producers and this grimey, industrial, electric rendition of "Abracadabra". It was just so ridiculously cool, final boss and "off the script". It was... TOTAL MAYHEM. I feel with REQUIEM and even LG7 that Gaga will start showcasing her production side again.

dynamite 63,538 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The fact she was able to put on any performance and sound as good as she did is pretty mind blowing I would have been crying at the piano sounding like Katy Perry and JoJo Siwa's love child Like a poem said by a neydy in red 5 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is certainly true for those who have imagination and demonstrate curiosity and tenacity. 😉 Edited February 3 by Cavadour Late to the party but I got a diamond heart 17 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAGA IS GROOVY 401 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The best art is often created under pressure and restrictions, and Gaga's Grammy performance is no exception! 4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakariah 11,778 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think it was always obvious she had limited time to rehearse and come up with a big ensemble, which is why even though it's not my favourite Abracadabra performance, I still appreciate that she even bothered to brainstorm and perform something unique it only tells us that she's never been happier to perform and experiment with her own material 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the frog 1,936 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Thank god for that. We got one of the most iconic and innovative performances from her, ever. Not to mention the live music and incredible vocals CUZ SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO DANCE. 5 2 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilMonst3r 5,617 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Gosh definitely one of he prime performances. I am in love with it. Have it on repeat 🥹 Its such a gothic masterpiece 😫 I love how theatrical she still can be on a 5 square foot set. Im am just so in love with the fact that it feels like a McQueen full circle and it feels just right. McQueen is definitely smiling at what she has done with his art. 🥹🥲 Edited February 3 by LilMonst3r 3 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nite 5,817 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Her lower key performances are always still memorable and amazing. My friend mentioned her Oscar HMH performance the other day which was completely dressed down and still gorgeous. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMonster 14,985 Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 The fact she delivered this performance against so many odds shows just how creatively-inspired and committed she is right now. She absolutely wouldn't be doing this - putting together award show performances when she's no doubt had to lose sleep and tour recovery time to make it happen - if she wasn't fully feeling it. A combination of Michael, TCB, Harlequin (the album) and the Mayhem era have revived her. You only have to look at her performing lately - and, frankly, listen to the studio recording of Abracadabra - to know that's true. And in a way, I actually think this Grammy performance was the best demonstration of her revival yet. It's edginess, boldness and accidental but proud defiance (in terms of subverting expectations) shows how she really has found a way back to her artistic and rebellious spirit - just on healthier terms now and, this time, with a love, stronger than her love for art, that keeps her grounded and enables a more sustainable approach to being Lady Gaga... but certainly not an artistically-reduced one. subtext / fantasy 8 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartz 12,641 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I'm curious how she rehearsed this. Was she doing this on the plane 😭 Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
