Gaga tends to be more one-dimensional than Rihanna.

Pff, she's everything but one-dimensional.

You can't really judge using those performances. Post some videos of them on their most recent tour and then let's decide.

[Brite Lites ☆]

If by performing you mean yelling at the public “jump", “dance", while jumping like a retarded and singing over a backtrack, then Gaga is the best performer ever.

Riri's not doing it.

Lady Gaga ALWAYS hides behind her piano. It's an insecurity. A blanket.
Can Lady Gaga just use her voice and a mic like this?



Highly unlikey. I've never seen Gaga display genuine emotion in her singing. She just
tends to yell, hide behind her piano, or hide behind over-the-top set pieces and outfits.

And I'm pretty sure Rihanna would hide herself behind a piano too if only she were able to.

[YoYo]

Yes, The "Stay" on SNL performance is better than every BTW era performance.

Gaga has severely declined in quality.

[Nippy'sReceipts]

Can Rihanna sing or dance? Can she play a musical instrument?
Rihanna is cool and all and she has great style & fun songs but let's not kid ourselves here.

But is Rihanna able to play any musical instrument

[Gui Blackout]

Absolutely. Not only Rihanna is a better vocalist and dancer, but her performances are captivating and entertaining. The same can't be said for Gaga.

[i spit on haters]

No. Rihanna hasn't even proven herself as a skilled performer, let alone having the performance skills to surpass anyone, really.

[JoshBTW]

Rihanna still sucks live. Would never pay a cent to see her live.

You know what?
ATRL needs a "Like" button, 'cause...

It's just a white box, A-M. But maybe that's for the best.



Edit: She's hiding behind a big band and Tony Bennett.
WHERE is Gaga in front of a microphone with just her voice?

[Rama]

This legendary performance alone >>>



btw, at the backfire

[ManDown]

They're pretty close, I'd say.

[Retro]

The logic of some members in this thread:

"To be able to play an instrument and incorporate it into performance is to hide behind it. To use attention grabbing props and outfits is to hide behind them. These don't contribute to the quality and delivery of the performance whatsoever".

I know I'm sort of twisting it, but that's essentially what's being said. Why can't we just praise each girl's individual strengths as performers and leave it at that? Not everything has to be a competition.

[Boop]

The backfire
No tho, the poll and the world still think Gaga is the better performer.
In this last year, Taylor Swift has surpassed Rihanna too.

Wow, 16m views, amazing. Does this have more views than any performance from a BTW single?

Can Lady Gaga not rely on theatrics?
