OreoÀDeux Pronounshe/him Popster for Sale 44,686 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) Watched the performance so many times. It gets better each time but the camera work did her so dirty. When she serves a pelvic thrust after playing piano and the camera almost instantly pans out to a close shot of her upper body instead of focusing on that moment. Like all that build-up for what? They fumbled so hard. Mother ate though. Edited July 27 by SweetOreosOfHeaven 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TikTok/Instragram/Facebook/french medias they mostly talk about Celine, tiktokers are praising so much Celine and don’t talk a lot about Gaga Yeah on TV the public reactions were all about Céline There was only a Gaga stan who said she preferred that 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good but just not that big. Celine's performance had the vocals, the big return impact on her side, and the visual with the Paris views from Eiffel tower at night, the light, the big fire baloon in the sky. I'm glad people enjoyed Gaga's performance though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly loved the performance, much better than if she had sung La Vie En Rose for the thousandth time or done a boring jazz number on the piano.

Even my mom who deeply love Lady Gaga find it was a bit underwhelming for her standards so yeah Maybe because we are French ? Don't know, there’s just not huge wow effect here in France 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was something different and I'll take it, much more interesting than her 100384th "oh she can sing" moment (which at this point everybody knows it). Could it have been executed better? Yes. But she was never going to compete with Celine belting a power-ballad after her illness/hiatus/documentary. This was a good choice of performance. 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad people enjoyed Gaga's performance though Yeah Gaga should’ve sang Dalida like Mourir sur Scène or La vie en Rose to show again her impressive vocals with Mon Truc en Plume there is nothing special for her performance so I’m not surprised people are disappointed with her performance 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still unknown if Parris Goebel is going to work with her but eariler this year she started liking and commenting Gaga's stuff when (I think) they've never previously worked together or interacted.

Maybe French people are too familiar with this song and its performance set to really be wowed by the arrangement, for people like us who never heard this song before it's definitely a breath of fresh air during the whole ceremony 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
