Pop queen Lady GaGa was one of the select names tapped to perform at the Kennedy Center Honors earlier this month. The special, which aired last night, saw Mother Monster perform ‘If I Ever Lose My Faith In You’ in tribute of one of this year’s recipients Sting.
Th superstar’s rousing rendition of the track earned rapturous applause from the man she was singing it for, as well as President and First Lady Obama.
Watch the 28-year-old shine bright below…
Bravo!
Granted the growling did grate at points, GaGa turned in an otherwise great performance.

RAW TALENT!
SAY IT AGAIN.
My words exactly!
She´s amazing! So above the rest of young pop stars.
Madonna must be seething. Keep Slaying GaGa!!!!!
Wow!!!!! She is SUPER TALENTED!!! OMG I didn’t know she could go this far!
Her & beyonce are the last talented mainstream popular girls. Raw motherfucken talent! Gaga did that.
You lost me at Beyonce.
so tell me how is beyonce NOT talented??
Jazz, Dance Pop, EDM, R&B, Hip Hop, Classical… Lady Gaga can do all those genres. She can sing, dance & perform really well. She has the talent to back everything up! Go Gaga.
I know should not say this but I am. Granted this performance was really good no doubt about it, however, why is it that when Christina rips, roars and growls people say she is straining or over doing it or she can’t sing; but Gaga and said others do it its praised…why?
Because Xtincta IS straining and it ruins the brightness of her tone. GaGa doesn’t do as much runs but she rarely strains.
She’s straining because she belting & she’s over her range.
Yes she’s very talented & Beyonce’s also very talented I like them both…
Yes ma’am
She ruined one of my favs songs by Sting, how she dared?, why is she singing other people songs, is she a tribute act now?, well, now that i think, yes!, oh TGJ “Pop Queen”?….:-D
You’re an idiot, this is Kennedy Honors where the basis of the event is young artists from today in music, theatre etc to tribute the legends of the past. You sound retarded
Dumbass bad body jealous h** u just won the award for most pathetic comment of 2014
LOL How pressed! She slayed.
We can discuss beyonce’s chart success etc, definitely not gonna debate about her talent.
Wack. Gaga is wack. Her music is wack. Her “talent” is wack. Her image is wack. She’s just all around wack. Keep this performance. They should have gotten someone else.
@Pause You’re still fat
Honey, please understand Gaga is the truth; real deal, LIVE ENTERTAINER!
You better sang girl!!!
Nothing she does impresses me. Sorry (not sorry).
I do not care for Lady GaGa’s music (nor that of Sting’s) but I must say that the former is indeed one of the most talented Pop stars out today. She’s a solid live singer, an above average dancer and is very involved in the creative process of her music. I was really surprised by her vocal ability here. Kudos.
Besides beyonce and pink, lady gaga is the only other pop star who can genuinely SANG and put on a great live show with dancing and imagery etc. She may not be as popular this time around but her raw talent puts 99% of these pop acts (notice how I didn’t say artists) to shame! Say what you want but the proof is in the talent: EDM, jazz, r&b, rock, alternative, soft rock- she can literally do it all
Nothing but the truth, yes mam!
Nah I’ma have agree 2 disagree wit u on that. Ain’t none of those ever stepped out of realm album wise. Beyoncé has always done hip hop/r&b. P!nk did one r&b based album and has been pop-rock ever since. And lady has done nothing but pop (including that album wit tony. It’s considered pop)
Nah I’ma have agree 2 disagree wit u on that. Ain’t none of those women ever stepped out of realm album wise. Beyoncé has always done hip hop/r&b. P!nk did one r&b based album and has been pop-rock ever since. And lady gags has done nothing but pop (including that album wit tony. It’s considered pop) About only 2 people’s ENTIRE discography I can put on shuffle and not hear 2 songs that sound alike and that’s Madonna and Xtina. Dem girls have literally done every genre.
STFU with your “pop queen” bs Sam when it comes to those your bottom as$ fan girls over like GaGa and Janet. Nobody says Pop King Timberlake, Usher or Bieber….we all know that only belongs to MJ. Just because you shade Madonna (as well as Mariah and RiRi) left and right doesn’t mean she shares her title with anyone. I get ya’ll love your favs but get real. They’ll never top what Madonna did and are walking down the road she paved for them. GaGa is no Pop queen and never will snatch that from Madge. Respect the legends we still have esp ones that have kept it together and still slay
U mad or nah? And for the record, Madonna didn’t pave shiit for anybody, other than how to steal other artist’s ideas and manipulate the public into believing the she’s an original “artist”.
Oh you’re Rolling Stone now? Try citing her influences. She always gives credit to what inspires Her. Just Bc you’re mad your fav will never top her
Oh and VH1 ranked her as the greatest female artist of all time. Suck on that xo
Kinda like beyonce 🙂
Every time I see Gaga I want to throw a rock at her. I don’t understand how anybody can call themselves a fan of this ridiculous freak show. If she were actually talented, she wouldn’t need to be so abstract. The truth is that she’s not, which is why she has to try and market weirdness to try and deflect from it.
Singing 100% live whilst playing the piano in front LEGENDS and getting a full standing ovation is, whether you like her style of music or not, talent.
Which is something she should have done at da beginning of her career instead of all those gimmicks and shtick. Dats why she crashed and burn as quick as she did people got tired of the “art”. Whitney, Mariah, Adele, Celene, Christina, Patti, Barabra, Aretha, Alicia and the like don’t need nothing but a mic on stage to kill it. I feel wit gaga it’s too late.
Christina, Honey, Sugar, Gurl… You need to tighten up like for real, for real. You got people here thinking these 5’s are about something when they need to be listening when the 10 is singing… Christina, Honey, Sugar, Gurl… You need to cut the bull and come correct in 2015. You talking ’bout #Fire&Fun, well you better bring it hard core gurl. Go big or go home…
Not to mention she got people thinking she beat up Mickey…
Christina is the true meaning of a try hard. She sounds good sometimes but she sings waaaaay to our of her range, she screams entirely too much, she sings painfully out of her throat and misses many, many, many, many notes. She’s cool but there are a bagillion and 5 singers who will sing her under the table. Shes a faux soul singer- no tee, no shade.
And you’re a vocal expert how???
@Queen
How am I commenting on old post if I ain’t seen da post ’til now? I’m sorry I gotta life and ain’t got time to troll everyday like you.
I’m wit you. I know Christina can do it. I know she still got it in her. Idk maybe she still feeling insecure ’bout Bionic? Cause it showed in Lotus dat her heart wasn’t in it. Idk but I’ve seen Christina kill it. Whether it be on da Voice or at that jazz fest. Shes was/on point. She just needs to cut da bull though and channel her energy from Stripped and Back to Basics and deliver
Dats why I hoping she get dis Grammy. To prove da masses dat she’s “Still Dirrty” lol
Why are you commenting on old posts? Are you trying to be top commentaror??? Lol stop it you pathetic bytch before you’re exposed on newer posts. You are busted h**
@Queen

I couldn’t care less about the supposed ‘talent’ of someone who wears meat dresses and gets vomited on. This woman strikes me as being mentally dusturbed.
I can totally see why Madonna is jealous.
LOL
Amazing Gaga. I really want Gaga to win so I’m hoping she can find her self or at least tone it down.
ARTPOP flopped.
/end
GARBAGE
Clean your ears or upgrade your taste.
WOW She slayed that s***!
She gives one amazing performance after the other. It can be Jazz, pop, rock, whatever. Real talent. I´ve always said it.
And I´m glad for this sincerity attack coming from all of you. 90% of highly positive comments for this performance says it all. I guess the typical troll was sleeping this time for once 🙂
Why was she dressed like a clown in front of the President? Ridic wig and outfit per usual. Girl you need to learn the difference btwn performing on MTV and looking like a hot mess in front of the leader of the free world.
And the performance had good vocals but didn’t move me like a Bey or Christina can
Yup dats what I was sayin. Gaga should have done these type of performances at da beginning of her career instead of all those gimmicks and shtick. Dats why she crashed and burn as quick as she did people got tired of the “art”. Whitney, Mariah, Adele, Celene, Christina, Patti, Barabra, Aretha, Alicia, Beyoncé and the like don’t need nothing but a mic on stage to kill it. I feel wit gaga it’s too late.
Gaga >>> Grandonna
