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!
What was your favorite Oscar moment?
Awesome! I missed this part of the show on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was awesome! I hope you're having a great week.
Deletei totally cried when julie came out!! i've never heard anyone give that song justice like gaga did. just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Julie coming out was the best! I hope I can see the movie in theaters soon, since I heard they're re-releasing it!
DeleteThe Sound of Music was my absolute fave growing up! Well, that and Lion King... My parents were strict. Hahah.
ReplyDeleteThe Lion King is another one of my faves! I guess I'm still a kid at heart. :)
DeleteI didn't catch the performance though I'm going to look it up on YouTube now. "The Sound of Music" is really a classic musical. If I had a few kids, I'd definitely make them perform the "Goodnight, farewell" song, hehe.

LOL! Singing along is so much fun! :)
DeleteI actually cried after this, especially when Julie Andrews stepped out and embraced Gaga. It was the best performance of both The Oscars and Grammys this year!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely the best! I truly love Julie Andrews.
DeleteI was happy to see Lady Gaga this way! It's refreshing!! xoxo

I agree! Hope you're having a great week!
Deletei loved NPH's opening monologue and song and the surprise appearance by Anna Kendrick!
ReplyDeleteYeah, those were great additions to the show!
DeleteI actually have never seen The Sound of Music! But I did see Lady Gaga's performance and I thought it was great.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely watch it sometime! It's truly one of the best.
DeleteI didn't see it but this sounded so good, will go and look it up now! Thanks for sharing it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you were able to look it up and enjoy it. :)
DeleteI couldn't agree with you more. I loved seeing Gaga so raw, without any of her usual meat dresses and such. Her voice is fantastic, and she was really able to do justice to TSOM.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not a big fan of the "meat dress" stuff, but with this performance, she demonstrated her true talent as a singer.
