In reply to RANCOR.

Gaga was invited to perform at the Academy Awards--INVITED. This performance has nothing to do with an attempt to sell ARTPOP. This performance simply confirms what people with ears already knew: that she's better than most of her contemporaries.

Julie Andrews praised this performance. Do you think your ridiculous opinion of Gaga trumps icon Julie Andrews' ? You know the answer to that.

Brilliant performance Lady Gaga!!!
