It was absolutely amazing. I think Lady Gaga never gets the full recognition she deserves. She sang the whole song and danced to it perfectly. She also wrote all those brilliant lyrics. She isn't just another pop star like Britney Spears that people seem to thinks she is, she actually has bags of talent and it's a shame some people don't see that.
i do believe lady gaga had one of the best performances this series alongside alicia keys, who i also thought was fantastic.
the worst for me was probably rihanna last week. and i am a rihanna fan! i have all her albums, but russian roullette is an awful song imo, and her performance was so dull, i didnt even notice it finish!
Funny old world isn't it - I actually LOVED Rihanna's song and performance but DETESTED ... Lady ( pushing it a bit) Ga Ga !
Her vocals were really quite awful and the performance wasn't all that impressive- it was weird- but it wasn't actually very good in my opinion.
She does have some really great performances but I think a lot of the response to her is a bit Emperor's New Clothes. She can sing terribly and people will say it's quirky, go 'oooh rawr la la rar gaga, I wanna ride your disco stick' and people will say she's a fantastic lyricist and just sit around in a funny outfit which would normally be criticised for just 'sitting there on a stool singing' but because she's in a funny suit it's a great performance!
I do like her, I just didn't think this performance was very good or that she is all that to be honest. She fools people into thinking there's more depth to something than there actually is.
On the fashion side, she has had an influence on fashion, the people who had big backbrushed hair and hippie dresses last year are now wearing wetlook leggins with their straight fringes. She is the Diana Vickers of 2009- fashion victims love her!
My mum is going to see her in March - she's 69, lol!
Well she looks pretty good for 69, I'll give her that.
I don't get all this 'performance' stuff. Guess I'm old fashioned in that I prefer singers to just... well... SING. Or did I miss something and she isn't a singer at all, but a performer?
She is actually the devil, I really think she's trying to brain was everyone lol. The devil's home is said to be the bathroom...haha.
But in all seriousness, she was far from the best. Cheryl+Alexandra were the best in my opinion. Then Janet. Then Mariah, she sounded amazing and looked great, such an improvement from last year.
She didn't sing it all live, she was singing over a backing track like Cheryl did
and the chrous sounded a lot better than the rest of the song like JLS' performance
But it was very good!
A lot of peope confuse this. A backing track should be just that a backing.
It should have the music and backing vocals on it but NOT the lead vocal. Thats the bit that should be sung live
The diffence in your example being GaGa actualy sang the whole of the LEAD VOCAL live where as CC had the Lead vocal on the backing track and mimed it.
The chorus will always sound different as there is usualy extra backing in a chorus to make it stand out
Pug ugly, terrible performance, awful song and if this is what the yoof of today are being forced fed under the guise of "good choons" your being robbed kids.
Well she looks pretty good for 69, I'll give her that.

She's a singer, songwriter, performer, style icon, all around consummate pop star.

but alicia keys obtains the title of the "best performance of the series".

She's all flash and no substance really.

Agreed. Not that Gaga wasn't good, but Alicia was excellent IMO
Can't wait to see the Gaga at the 02!
