Americano 31,061 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Lady Gaga's Good Morning America appearance started with a lovely Streisand-esque performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" before quickly devolving into a journey down the yellow brick road and costume changes that made her into Dorothy, the Good Witch, and the Wicked Witch http://www.vulture.com/2013/09/watch-gaga-play-dorothy-on-good-morning-america.html Lady Gaga hasn’t made it easy for herself: She’s got a manic drive to combine pop culture homage, conceptual fashion, gay-positive messaging, audience misdirection and general Gaga-brand weirdness thatâ€â€as she sets it to musicâ€â€constantly threatens to pile up into a bunch of self-serious signifiers. But when it works, it works, as Gaga’s performance on Good Morning America proved earlier today. The homage, to The Wizard of Oz, was classic, recognizable to anyone, and preloaded with an adult subtext beneath the childlike wonder. As musical theater with heavy-duty costumes, Oz makes perfect sense for Gaga. But as a peak-mainstream franchise (James Franco, need I remind you, just starred in Oz the Great and Powerful) it wasn’t an obvious choice. And the, shall we say, deviation we might have imagined her introducing to it she pretty much left on the tableâ€â€while introducing her own motifs, like her real-time, wig-cap-revealing wardrobe changes. The best part was Gaga clicking her heels together and repeating, “There’s no place like Good Morning America.†This obvious, wonderfully egoless little coda won her some genuine laughs, and suggests that Gaga wants to show us some love after all. http://music-mix.ew.com/2013/09/09/lady-gaga-wizard-of-oz-good-morning-america/ Praise for one of her cutest, most watch-worthy performances in quite awhile. Only Lady Gaga could change a small GMA set into a theater show. :clap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
