I think we should make Sarge quotes our new user ranks.

Oh and i was wrong about GaGa.
She did a fitting tribute, i just never realised what a buffoon Bowie was before the Lady made it so obvious.

[Mecca]

i didn't see the whole thing and i love Gaga, but it looked bad in the sense that it was too manic and rushed.

[E.H. Ruddock]

It was very forced. I thought the performance was bad, and I'm a Gaga fan.

I love Gaga's music but that Grammy performance was embarrassing.

yep, but I'm not a gaga fan...its was more of feat of stage management not artistic connection..I didn't watch the grammy's but how hard would it be to put together a minute or two of text footage to show how each influenced their heirs?

Medleys are a bad idea. They're like the All-You-Can-Eat buffets of tribute performances. A little bit of this, some of that, and you end up with the piss-shits.

[Mine]

Picking someone because it vaguely shares an extravagant public image (that Bowie ditched 40 years ago) is a bad idea.
She did an amazing Sound of Music medley at the Oscars because that's what she was a brilliant choice for. Bowie not so much.

[Jorge]

That "Sound of Music" thing was like 3 or 4 songs though. Here she tried to fit 10 tunes into the performance and the results were discombobulating.

[LoathedVermin72]

Her voice also did not lend itself to the material. She sounded like Liza Minnelli.

[Mine]

It's what i was getting at. It's always a medley in these cases. A series of full songs is rarely performed for tributes.
She proved to be more shtick than talent as i wrote earlier. I actually like her voice and she's obviously trained and educated but she doesn't have the kind of artistic sensibility she needed to do any better than she did or pick 3 songs instead of 10.
I can't understand what reasons she had to sing in such a mockery inflection. At a certain point she sounded like a severely intoxicated Elvis impersonator and i can't understand what was the point of that.

It all seemed to be functional to a vegas lounge like performance the arrangements included. Heroes in particular seemed a pointless rework considering it was so short and with that big chorus it's not really difficult to work in a medley as is.

[Jorge]

Well, thankfully I covered my ass with that "probably" clause.
