In Case You Missed Lady Gaga’s David Bowie Tribute at the Grammys…
I tried. I really, really tried. But as soon as Bieber started his performance, I threw in the towel when it came to the Grammy Awards. After endless down tempo performances–outside of Kendrick Lamar, pretty much every song was 100 BPM or lower–I just couldn’t take it anymore and went to bed. Besides, I knew that everything I needed to see would be on YouTube within minutes of it happening.
Such was the case with Lady Gaga’s weird David Bowie tribute. Thank you, YouTube, for letting me go to bed earlier.
I did want to watch this to see how badly LG mauls Bowie songs, but my computer refuses to play it. Guess it’s saving me from a fate worse than death.
I’m thinking maybe, just maybe, that the saxophonist, left of center, standing on the right, is Katja Rieckermann
but alan … what did you think of it?
I didn’t feel Gaga did a bad job, but rather the whole tribute felt muddied and overwhelming. A lot of songs shoved into a short span of time. Some songs only receiving a few bars of recognition. More of the show’s producer’s fault than the performer?
Wow, and I thought his death was tragic! Fuck this garbage!
I was expecting so much more from her.
I briefly had some respect for Nile Rodgers after seeing some interviews on Let’s Dance after Bowie’s death. This evaporated completely after seeing him share the stage with that vapid travesty of an artist.
