Watching it for the second time, it's actually not bad at all !!
Definitely not her best but still good
I think most went into with high expectations after the Graham Norton clip but this was a much different environment she performed in so her nerves were going to be worse.
The Graham Norton thing was more relaxed/intimate for her.
imagine all the pressure she had on herself... she knew the whole fuc*ing world was looking at her and waiting for this performance... she knew we were all waiting for this moment after all "hello" has done so far... and she still decided to perform it without almost any back music that could disguise any mistake...
She needs some reverb and some back up vocals during the chorus. Anyways I have heard her sound much better, but as this early on the promo cycle I'll forgive her.
I guess she should be able to sing her own songs live tho. She wrote the song I guess? What's the point in writing yourself a song that is good recorded but they don't hold up live.
Gaga never sang Paparazzi as it was recorded in the studio either.
she's ok live. nothing great. her stage fright is really bad and hold her back. when she fees comfy like when she performed 8 songs at the David Letterman show she slayed.
