No one could ever call Lady Gaga lazy. Still whizzing around the world and working as hard as ever on the Born This Way promotional trail, the singer stopped off at the 2012 Grammy Nominations Concert to deliver not one, but two knock-out performances.
Fully embracing the dark vibe of Marry the Night, a zombie painted Gaga wowed the audience with a note for note perfect rendition of the 80's inspired dance song. Previously, I hadn't been that impressed with performances of the song- for example the X-factor version was too stiff, and the MTV EMA rendition was too static- but this one really brought it, with the perfect mix of theatrics, dancing, charisma, and vocals!
Still playing with the left over Halloween make up, Gaga appeared again, after all the Grammy nominations had been revealed, looking like a cross between Marilyn Monroe and a panda. This time she performed my least favourite track from Born this way, You and I. But the genius addition of country duo SugarLand, who joined Gaga on stage, gave the song a different dimension that made the song work a lot better for me. The chemistry between Gaga and singer Jennifer Nettles was palpable and their voices complimented each other brilliantly. Real musical artistry was on display here!
What was the note Gaga hit in falsetto ?
ReplyDeleteThought's on the nominations?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, those performances were great! What is really exciting for me about Gaga is the way she is evolving as an artist, you can really see a difference in her dancing ability since she first burst onto the scene, plus her live vocals seem to be settling into a definite recognisable sound now.
ReplyDeleteThat duet was superb, I wish there had been a of collaboration on the album.
The 'Marry the Night' vid came out today, I don't think I understand it, but on a first watch, it's certainly interesting and stylish. Don't think many people will like it but we'll see!
I think that falsetto(head voice) in you and i
ReplyDeleteJust made a post about that ;)
ReplyDeleteAt 4.30 in "You and I" it was an F5
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I'll check the new video out...I'm going in with no expectations though, just so I don't unfairly bias myself ...lol
ReplyDeleteAnd in 2.46 and then in 2.50?
ReplyDeletesame notes ( F5)
ReplyDeletei thought... thank you and do you think she can go higher ?
ReplyDeletei love gaga but i disagree on the vocals on marry the night
ReplyDeletei thought compared to her vocals during the children and need performance she sang and danced perfectly
in this performance i felt that the acoustics drowned out her voice i mean i couldn't really hear her all that well
also i have been very curious to see if gaga would use her falsetto more
ever since the release of her first album, she hasn't really used her falsetto/head voice in her live performances
i was just wondering why that is
@hi Why do you put "/" between falsetto and head voice?? Don't you know that falsetto and head voice are completly different things? The falsetto has little to do with head voice, being more a WAY to sing rather than a register...
ReplyDeletei loved you and i because it felt like two old friends singing at a bar together
