The performance was good but why does she have to wear the crap that she wears? When you look like a freak at the VMA's then you know you are trying too hard. Why did she need to put a wreath on her face? What for!?

To make people talk and she did just that. I mean, people were obsessing over a 2 second camera shot on her in the audience LOL. It is definitely calculated and she knows what she is doing. People knew and paid attention to every outfit change she had last night. But, like I said, I liked her 100000X more when she took that stuff off her face during the acceptance speech. I liked how people cheered for that

Why did she need to put a wreath on her face? What for!? She knows exactly what she is doing. She is smarter than the people dissing her. People like you keep saying she is trying too hard yet she has sold over 4 million albums in 6 months. She doesnt have to try too hard. She just has to have people talk about her and what she is doing and being interesting. She lives for comments just like yours because that's more interest about her. I also guarantee she has an explanation for every outfit and some analysis on why and what it means. She always does. she's completely dedicated to her work. Why do people not get that?

I just don't think it is necessary. She has had mega hit after mega hit and is the artist of the year, IMO. She doesn't need any gimmicks to sell albums. Maybe it was a good attention grabber when she first started but she has only gone deeper and deeper into WTF territory as her popularity grew. I don't care what explanation she has for her outfit, there is NO good explanation for wearing an outfit made of Kermit the Frogs. It is just silly and attention grabbing.

Just saw that VMA performance since i missed it last nite. That has to be one of the craziest things I've ever seen.
But it made me like the song more.

She is making performance art mainstream. And she has dressed absurdly most of her life -- high fashion and using clothing as art is one of her passions so it certainly isn't something she decided to do on a whim in order to get some extra VMA attention. I'd rather watch an artist like her than the massive blandness the rest of the industry has to offer.

I actually prefer the way the song flows live more than the actual recording.

She has always been like that. i saw her years ago underground. she is still the same crazy she was then. thats why her name is Lady Gaga.

Last night I had a dream I met GaGa for lunch and introduced her to my mother. Topics of conversation included our mutual hometowns and brother/sister High Schools.
LMFAO

Fantastic performance at the VMAs. I loved the strings and her vocals were really strong despite all the theatrics.

I have a question... The Paparazzi Remixes are #50 on iTunes albums. Will that count towards Paparazzi's single sales or will it be considered it's own album and chart on the Billboard 200?

I'm fairly sure they add to "Paparazzi" as a single. Buying the EP once will count as one sale though, each of the remixes sold individually will count as one sale.

You know, this performance was stuck in my head all day long. Last night was an important performance for her, you could tell. She was born and raised in NYC, and, I mean, to perform at Radio City Music Hall must have been a dream come true for her. I was also blown away by her use of musical theatre skills last night. It's something you rarely see in mainstream music. She should be very proud of herself.
Also, the dance breakdown right before the second verse was fantastic. Those were some Britney moves if I've ever seen them.

I didn't care for the performance as a whole (it was too weird and over the top for me), but she did sound good. I still love the song.

This was the best performance at the VMA's, but don't get me wrong, that's saying a lot about the others too. I don't think I've heard her sound that strong vocally and I loved the arrangement, not to mention the ending. OTT just isn't worth discussing with GaGa. It's things like this that assure me that she's got a lot more in her than The Fame.

The Queen and The Jester. The Jester ate the Queen alive before the latter even took the stage, I'm afraid. The song has been in my head since seeing the performance o-O Likewise. If only I had audio of the beautiful caterwauling.

I can't help but laugh everytime I see that picture!
This woman is very intelligent. She has her own sense of style.....or whatever you call it. And it gets people talking. Not only does she have huge hit singles that people talk about, but she finds other ways to get people talking about her. "Attention Grabbing"? Maybe. Smart? Definitely.
