she was ill. she had the flu and needed an iv and couldn't sing. instead of cancelling her performance she just decided to vibe to the song. gaga was perfectly healthy and fine while debuting her flying dress volantis.

Should've just cancelled. Or even singed with the flu, couldn't have been any worse than what we got!

No, that one time Lorde stiff danced awkwardly at the VMAs while the song played in the background is.

 

I had completely forgotten this one lol Everyone was so excited she was gonna do promo for Homemade Dynamite. She should’ve cancelled or just lip synced Liability instead lol

The unintentional reverse joking expedition on this thread...

not your source being something random called “Clevver News”...

 

in comparison, these are the headlines Clevver News made about Gaga during the same time:

JLO doesn't have enough iconic looks to pull off this drag race intro 

 

Madonna did it better, 24 years ago

This was so embarrassing sjdjdhdhd

The NYE performance of Mariah >>>

[Kimi]

well its this one

 

[ItsJustMe.]

jennifer lopez is a legend

yall wished your boring faves would put as much effort in a performance as she does

[Album Leak]

How has this not been posted? The stomping around in those flats, barely singing the chorus, the '' choreo '', the gibberish during the last chorus (though I always thought she almost sang the higher than a motherfucker part but then realized oh **** this is Good Morning America, tried to salvage it and just went with whatever nonsense her mouth was doing.)

 

 

Then there's this iconic flop performance from 2:21 onwards. Fergie is a gift that keeps on giving, always has been.

 

 

[TipToe]

I dont think the performance is bad but it feels pointless, she just couldn't execute the concept (self homage, tribute to itself)

Was surprised it wasn't as bad as I feared but it was still bad. 

"What she order??" followed by silence from the crowd was S-tier cringe.

a performance isn't limited to live singing. she was debuting a flying dress. she was standing in the House Of Gaga, in the Tech House, as an independent united group, with her invention. she was very thrilled about it and she didn't want to hide it because she realized the potential of the flying dress. she was excited for the world to own a volantis one day. if this isn't a performance, then what is it?

 

i'm not. this was genuinely the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the thread title and thought about the "most cringe performance ever". i wasn't thinking about gaga. if this was done by an another popular artist, i would've posted that.

 

she already answered your concern:

 

 

she was ill. she had the flu and needed an iv and couldn't sing. instead of cancelling her performance she just decided to vibe to the song. gaga was perfectly healthy and fine while debuting her flying dress volantis.

It's not a performance as she's not performing. She's presenting..... Damn, sis........

[blown away]

The J.Lo performance is just disappointing. I mean, the long ass intro for her to come up and sing one flop song and of her minor hits in the US 

The concept was there, but the execution left to be desired.

 

But many others posted here are far worse

No one will EVER top the absolute level of cringe of this performance holy f*ck 

Witness was truly a flop to behold 

spoke nothing but truth! 

 

 

[LustSpell]

I thought the OP was gonna be Katy's Bon Appétit performance for SNL

[Safe&Sound]

I dont think the OP performance was cringe

The motive behind it is

 

J-Lo appeared on every award shows getting awarded as Icon, Legend is kinda strange since her last real hit is almost 15 years ago. She has no significant contribution to the culture, yet hailed very often, like, did she buy the award?
