There\u2019s no question that every time Lady Gaga makes an appearance anywhere, she goes all out. I mean, from the hair, the make up and the outfit, she\u2019s always making a statement.<\/p>\n

This year, Gaga was asked to perform a tribute to the late, great, David Bowie, and she certainly did not disappoint. From the moment she walked on the carpet in custom Marc Jacobs and a flaming red wig, paying homage to Ziggy Stardust.<\/p>\n

When the time for her performance finally came, the crowd that filled the Staples Center went absolutely wild. She ran through 10 of the artist\u2019s hits from the 1970s and 1980s, making it one of the longer, but more technologically advance performances of the night.<\/p>\n

During the telecast Monday night, Intel released commercials featuring the singer on how the company collaborated with the star, 29, to bring her performance to life. As ABC News reported, in one of the commercials Gaga explained, \u201cwe wanted to create an expression of not only David Bowie\u2019s magic, but also to show that there is magic that can be made with technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>According to Fox News, Gaga told them that it was one of the most difficult things that she\u2019s ever done, as the icon served as an extremely influential person in her life.<\/p>\n

The influence definitely showed in her performance.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph<\/em> from U.K. picked up on the fact that Gaga\u2019s performance was a hybrid of her unique stage presence, along with that of Bowie\u2019s with wide-eyed facial expression and fluid movements. The true strength that the U.K. newspaper thought was her vocals, immaculately imitating Bowie\u2019s strong accent that shined on “Space Oddity,” “<\/em>Suffragette City,” “Fashio” and “Rebel Rebel.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Though the performance seemed to be a favorite among the crowd inside and audience watching at home, the one person that did not seem overly thrilled was the late singer\u2019s son, David Jones. Billboard<\/em> reported that Jones\u2019 Tweeted a cryptic message, which many thought to be a diss to Gaga\u2019s stellar performance. I think he got the idea for this from searching Lady Gaga on Urban Dictionary\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
