Lady Gaga has always been known for her bold and theatrical performances, but at the 2023 Oscars, she surprised everyone by keeping things simple. With her hair tied back, wearing a plain t-shirt and ripped jeans, she sat on a stool and let her voice do the magic.
Before she started singing ‘Hold My Hand,’ she spoke about how she wrote the song for the movie ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and how it was deeply personal to her. Then, as the music began, something incredible happened. At first, it was just her and a piano. The raw emotion in her voice was enough to give everyone chills. Then, as the song built up, a full band joined in, and Lady Gaga showed the world just how powerful her voice truly is.
The performance went viral online, quickly racking up 10 million views. Fans were blown away by how real and heartfelt it was. One fan commented, “She has proved that talent and voice are the essence of a diva.”
Even though Lady Gaga toned things down for the Oscars, she hasn’t left her theatrical side behind. Just a year later, she took the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform ‘Happy Mistake’ from her new album, ‘Harlequin.’ The album’s release was perfectly timed with her role as Harley Quinn in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux.’
This time, she went full Gaga mode. She stepped onto the stage wearing a tattered dress inspired by the carnival style of the 1800s. The set was wild—piles of shredded paper surrounded her and her band, creating a chaotic but mesmerizing scene. Yet, despite the dramatic visuals, the true highlight was her voice. Fans flooded the internet with praise, with one saying, “This is a performance of a lifetime for the one and only Lady Gaga. Such powerful vocals here, this is simply phenomenal.”
Over the years, Lady Gaga has been celebrated for her creativity and bold performances. However, some critics have claimed that her theatrics can sometimes overshadow the music itself. But with her breathtaking performances at the Oscars and on Jimmy Kimmel, she has proven once again that at the heart of it all, it’s her voice and songwriting talent that make her a true star.
Whether she’s performing in a simple t-shirt or an extravagant costume, one thing is clear—Lady Gaga’s talent always shines through.
