The Paparazzi performance is still the best performance she's ever done. Her bleeding just capped it all off. It was shocking in the best way possible and really brought home the point that... fame kills. It was cohesive, grandiose and magnificently theatrical. That wasn't a grossout move, and it was fake.
The Kermit dress wasn't gross at all.
I'm sure her meat dress smelled awful, and most people thought that was odd. She was in a different place in her career though. If she had worn the meat dress today, it might have had the same reaction.
Puke is just gross, and it was real. And then she rode a bull.
