These are weird takes, imo. The Grammys have essentially become the VMAs so skipping them is no big deal. The Oscars, though, are still the ultimate, most prized award in the entire industry (globally), so skipping doe not make sense. I get she's busy and that's fine, but I would go out on a limb and say that it actually looks bad (to the Academy) for her to miss.

I feel the same! Specially when they already stated how much they would want her to perform there.

I mean I didn't say (and would never) that Oscars and Grammys are the same, but the nomination in song this year kind of feel like one of her usual Grammy noms.

 

Clearly it's not that she would skip out of laziness, she would have a valid excuse and it wouldn't be a bad look for her since, it would prove that her being committed to a job is more important than attending an awards event.

I do expect her to attend at the end, but we'll see, to me it wouldn't be a big deal if she doesn't.

Oh Alice, ROM, Replay, Sour Candy, Enigma and Babylon are hitting hard today. Smashes.

The Weeknd Remix of Bloody Mary would be such a slay 

 

 

So if filming ends in April, what’s she gonna do for the next year and a half?

If Bloody Mary were to get a remix, which artist do you think would feature on it and elevate it (popularity/charts wise)?

 

This crossed my mind while listening to Die For You Remix. I know there's no chance in hell we get a remix, but it could be an interesting discussion.

Her pop residency shows resume this year afaik. 

is this supposed to be avant garde art?

 

I really don't see any artist being featured on BM, it's a pure particular Gaga song, no other artist would fit in my opinion, the song would be ruined.

I should’ve clarified, an Oscar nomination for Best Song. Because all energy and focus will 100% again go into another Best Actress campaign for Joker 2 in two years time. 
 

This being her 3rd Song nomination, with already 1 win, is where the Grammy comparison came from. Along with still showing up to present last year (even after the snub), I think she’s in a good position with the Academy to not attend this year, being knee deep in production on a new film.

 

But who knows! We’ll have the final answer in the next few days I’m sure  I do think in the end, she will attend and perform

New pop show in Vegas, some weeks of rest most probably in between. They started working on Enigma and J&P shows roughly 7 months before the premiere of the shows (including stages, musicians, dancers).

Oh yeah, I knew what you meant. Although she does have a legitimate reason to skip, the Academy voters can be petty if they feel slighted and I don't want anything impacting her chance with Joker 2. If she shows up, kills her performance, and loses (which she will), it'll only add to the "she deserves it" narrative.

I agree, she only has things to gain performing in 2 weeks time. And I’m sure Bobby and her know that. Hopefully we get the announcement this week

Imagine a simple paino-led HMH performance.

Honestly, since that guy from the Top Gun soundtrack died, she could even throw in a 'Take My Breath Away' tribute.  

Since no radio update was posted today, I'm assuming it was tragic and it's over

It definitely won't be the case this year, that could have happened last year if she refused to present because she wasn't nominated, this year there's no much interest on the song category and on her at all, Gaga has been nowhere to be seen the entire season, 'Top Gun' has kind of flopped this awards season, it won't change anything if she doesn't attend this year, last year it was definitely more important attending and showing that she took the snub with class.

I do expect that she's going to do that.

Right, I actually might prefer something more simple and stripped back for a performance. Especially cause she probably won’t have much time to rehearse and stage out anything elaborate. Gaga and a piano would be great

It’s about time for Gaga to actually show the Academy that she’s Lady Gaga for a reason. Sure, the piano is a huge part of her artistry but the Academy didn’t really see her doing her main thing like at all. So a performance with flames, water and jumping like she did at The Chromatica Ball (there would be no breath control issues) would be much more appreciated tbh. She did acoustic and piano and jazz ever since 2014 with some exceptions for Chromatica and couple of other songs. But that’s just me.

When the Oscar's stage roof explodes and she arrives playing piano on a plane 

I think she'll still show at the Oscars if just for the slim possibility that HMH upsets.

 

She'll perform if she's gonna be there anyway too so hihi 

when she sets someone on fire with the pyrotechnics

Same here. Literally just adapt the Chroma Ball encore for the Oscars and it'd blow the roof off the place. The industry hags would eat it up
