Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I loved the opening performance but after that, it got way to old. I was thinking she was going to change outfits and go back to looking like a girl again but she didn't. She just stayed in that Jo Calderone persona She was a hot mess ALL DAMN NIGHT. Especially during Beyonce's performance, did you see her with that drink?! Also, she was just EMBARRASING during the Britney tribute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 The performance of You & I was good. Like...the damn girl can sing. She can sing, and she can write, and she's good! She's GREAT! But...just...ugh. The whole thing really isn't working for her, is it? When Garth Brooks did the whole Chris Gaines thing back in the 90s, people went in with it because it was so different from what Garth was and what people expected from him. For Gaga, it's like "Oh...she's pretending to be a guy. That's the crazy thing she's doing today. Okay. On to the next bit of craziness." She seems to really want this to catch on, but it won't. The crazy stans will eat it up and work themselves to death trying to attach all of the "hidden meanings" they can think of to it, but the fringe fans are gonna consider it another mark against her. Does anyone in the industry really look up to her? If Rihanna or Nicki or Ke$ha had presented Brit's award, I think it would have been a really sweet, memorable moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted August 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't think personally it would have made any bit of difference.... Brit's "tribute" was just a poorly disguised segue for Beyonce's performance. Gaga/Calderone or no Gaga/Calderone, it would have been embarrassing. Britney looked as if she could care less about the award just like everything else about her career at the moment. Jo Calderone was a hot, but not totally unexpected, mess. I figured Jo would appear because he/she is in the video for You & I, and I think it would have worked without the initial monologue and then subsequent acceptance speech and presentation to Brit. Lady Gaga, as always, milked something crazy to death. AMS, you hit it right on the head... she can sing, she can write SHE IS TALENTED.... she seems just so damn insecure about that that she has to amp it up with the craziness. I get sick and tired of the theatrics like this. IMO she does not need them, or at the very least not at this insane intensity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WTGH Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'm over the theatrics. She peaked in her pseudo-weirdness with Bad Romance. She'll never top that, so girl...stop trying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 Lady Gaga was an idiot last night at the VMAs. Upstaging Britney's tribute with her nonsense...just ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have to say, Britney looked like she'd rather be somewhere else and not accepting that award. What can you say about Stefani? The girl tries way too hard, and it's all been backfiring on her overhyped ass lately. And Madonna already did the arrogantly upstaging the Video Vanguard recipient 22 years ago, and much better might I add. <iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jaZVQyTOBns" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr. Vixen Posted September 18, 2011 Members Share Posted September 18, 2011 The best part of the entire Jo Calderone thing was Adele sitting in the audience with this totally unamused, "is this bitch serious?" look on her face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Charles Posted July 14, 2013 Members Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Hope this is a flop and she's done for good. So sad... I used to LOVE her! Edited July 14, 2013 by Pine Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted July 15, 2013 Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 Loved the first album from start to finish.... The 2nd one only had 2/3 songs I truly replay. I don't know what to feel about her right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted July 15, 2013 Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 I think it will be very interesting to see how this turns out. It could go either way. Honestly, I think she focused too much on stunts and being "weird"... let's go back to just making good music with dashes of weirdness lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 15, 2013 Members Share Posted July 15, 2013 The Born This Way era really killed the momentum in her career, and really, it was badly handled by her, her management, and her record label. That, and it was just a terrible album. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted July 29, 2013 Members Share Posted July 29, 2013 She still seems intent on being "different/weird" for the sake of being weird. Hoping for an elegant but unique album cover and some truly relevant catchy songs like the majority of her first album.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
