We had high hopes for this tribute, but we have to say we weren’t a fan. It seemed like a bit much. Gaga;s tribute to David was paired with promo for a product like Intel, with a performance that felt like you were watching an overzealous drunk chick in a red Halloween store wig at a karaoke night. It would have been much better to see her just do Space Oddity at a grand piano while promoting Activia. But that’s just our opinion.
David Bowie‘s son threw some shade at the ‘tribute’ by tweeting:
Thoughts? Were u feeling it?
Bowie was as over the top as this performance and because of that, I think he would have been flattered. I enjoyed it.
You left out Nile Rogers in your commentary – big oversight on your part.
