since y'all haters can't seem to accept that you shouldn't be talking out of your butts

"We asked a classical singer to appraise Lady Gaga's Oscars performance"
Quote:
Gaga's technical ability was also singled out: "She used portamento - gliding smoothly between the notes, very romantic phrasing - which is usually the province of straight opera singers."
"Most people who sing musical theatre now don't know anything about that - they only know either to sing very, very loud, or very very quiet."
"It did occur to me that she was holding the mic closer than Julie Andrews ever needed to. I am sure she would have the technique to carry over the orchestra. I think she could sing with the microphone a bit further way."
Andrews was present at the ceremony and appeared emotional and grateful for Gaga's performance: "It was a very endearing moment, a very generous performance because ultimately it was a tribute to Julie Andrews. Gaga had gone out on a limb in the service of a much greater voice."

admitting andrews, a legend, is better while still not deluding themselves into hating on the performance because of that fact
