Born This Way: Lady Gaga Emerges From A Giant Egg For Grammy’s Performance

Video
» 25 comments

Hot extraterrestrial Lady Gaga performed her new single “Born This Way” at tonight’s Grammy Awards and put on a pretty solid show – albeit a much, much tamer one than last year’s (Alas, no blood shed this time around).

The pop singer emerged from a giant egg dressed in a form fitting, flesh-colored dress and waving around a pastel pink ponytail. She then played an organ (jokes to yaselves, please) adorned with gleaming, translucent heads wearing women’s faces… Think Stanley Kubrick-meets-Barbarella-meets-Madonna before she cultivated something resembling a British accent.

    I’m going to take your sarcasm, SIR, and place it right inside this here giant fashionable egg.

    Lady Gaga has officially entered Spinal Tap territory.

  • Lee Harvey

    The GOP fears Gaga.

    No sarcasm or snarky comments from me.

    I might prefer Elvis, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones from my generation, but the more I see Lady Gaga perform the more I realize what an amazing talent she is.

  • Jackyboy

    Gotta give her credit for originality.

  • stoogedudes

    Last year she was covered in meat. This year, she was in an egg. Next year, expect Lady Gaga to emerge from a Little Debbie cream puff.

    When you took away all the makeup and theatrics from David Bowie, at least you still had David Bowie songs.

    Face it, our popular culture sucks.

    Well said.

    If Gaga wasn’t outrageous would anyone even listen to her? I doubt it, Even Katy Perry was more entertaining tonight.

    The only thing worse than watching her performance on the Grammys tonight was watching Anderson’s interview with her on “60 Minutes”. This woman is a crash and burn ready to happen.

    I remember a time when Anderson would laugh at kooks like her. It was interesting to hear him try to find some journalistic justification for interviewing this mess on “60 Minutes Overtime”. She was obviously drugged or drunk or both during most of the interview. It would be pretty sad to think she was sober at the time.

    Interesting that Anderson asked her if she was a hermaphrodite.

    Gaga is not unique, she is a copy of a copy of a copy. It has all been done before and more expertly by people like Madonna and even Cher.

    At one point Gaga told Anderson, “my social skills are lacking”. I guess that is something they have in common.

    @Thelonious Funk, “When you took away all the makeup and theatrics from David Bowie, at least you still had David Bowie songs.”

    You can still say that about a lot of singers, just not Gaga.

    You mean like Glenn Beck always trying to one-up himself until he has become a parody?

    Those two have a lot in common.

    You don’t much like Anderson Cooper, do you?

    Gaga is a helluva pop song writer, sings great live, and makes the outcasts feel welcome. I took my daughter to see her last year, and it was unbelievable. We’re going again in March. Don’t be old farts believing the hate; the girl has ‘it’.

    True, but Lady seems more authentic, doesn’t she?

    Quite an entrance. Raygun and W, with honourable mention to Big Dick Cheney, may have sent our jobs to China, our troops into harm’s way and our economy over the cliff, but at least America can produce a Lady Gaga. She has become naturalized, hasn’t she?

    I agree, and I am pleased to let Norbit, Jr. have Betty Grable and Basil Marceaux, I mean Gordon Blower, Audie Murphy.

    RRKING on music . I remember all the bloaning , kleating . mining and wrenching when Bing Crosby started with that ” crooning ” of his , but it eventually caught on with us hepcats .

  • lane

    Madonna’s ‘Respect Yourself’ is a good song. Just hope she got some royalties from this…

  • writer

    The King always got misty eyed when Kate Smith sang ‘God Bless Amerika’, although he did prefer Rev. Wright’s little change in the lyrics.

  • notsofast

    Overall, I thought it was quite an entertaining show except for that way over produced Bieber/Usher act. That was all lip-sync.

    Somebody really needs to hook Jennifer Hudson up with a good songwriter; she looked and sounded great as did all the women in the salute to Franklin. If she can get some good songs, she can be a great singer again.

    Dylan was a disappointment; he has written all those seminal songs but sings “Maggie’s Farm?”

    Katy Perry and Lady Gaga put on good performances as did most of the rest. I only wish Streisand and Jagger had reprised the famous duet of “You Never Send Me Flowers” like she did with Neil Diamond.

    Maybe, this time, they could have had them sing from wheelchairs?
