Who watched the Oscars Sunday night? I did, and even though I
hadn’t seen too many of the films nominated, I was completely blown away by Lady
Gaga’s tribute to one of my all-time favorite movies, The Sound of Music.
Along with delivering a beautiful vocal performance, Gaga
surprised everyone by forgoing wild visuals and gimmicks. Far too many singers today focus more on showing off their boobs/butts and prancing around like poll
dancers than on simply sharing their gifts. Still others can’t really sing at
all, relying on auto-tuning, special effects and so-called sex appeal to mask that sad
reality.

I’m glad Gaga wowed viewers with this classy
performance, and I hope we get to see more just like it from her and others in
the future. Oh, and the always charming Julie Andrews stepping out right afterward? Made my night!
