'Liiiiiiiiiiive!' An actual vocal on a reality show results night!

I managed to zip through Thursday night’s So You Think You Can Dance results show in about four minutes, 3:24 of which involved Lady Gaga’s ’80s workout demo/performance of "Let’s Dance." Sure, that first glimpse of her might’ve made me cry out "What species is this?" to the tune of the Christmas carol "What Child Is This?" Sure, she’s coppin’ a bit of a Kylie vibe throughout (when she said "My name is Lady Gaga," I was all bitch you BETTER not follow that up with ‘I’ll be your purser). And I’m not even gonna touch that outfit, because if I did, the ‘ga would probably knock me out with her inexplicable snow globe microphone. But let’s give credit where credit is due: Someone sang LIVE on a reality show results night! Edit the history textbook!

Yikesies. Issuing congratulations for singin’ somethin’ live. Has everything really fallen that far?

Yes. (Just dance. Gonna be okay.)

    Huh. Here I thought that big old thing hiding her lips (and projecting light on them?) was there to make it harder to see when she flubbed the syncing. The whole costume looked, to me, like it was designed so that someone else could put on the wig and the glasses and that mic and take her place.

    I couldn’t watch this the first time, and this didn’t make it any better. Ironic that she was singing about dancing when she couldn’t dance herself due to her extreme high heels and barely there outfit. I expect if she bent too far in any one direction we would have had a *real* “wardrobe malfunction.”

    i thought she was good..i love how she is different in the way she dresses and that cos she isnt tryin to be like anyone else…in my opinion she gave a solid performance but i suppose everyone has different tastes right.

    I am pretty sure Katy Perry sang live on SYTYCD a few weeks ago!

    Lady GaGa was wickedly brilliant! Sure it was a little cheesy but at least she gave the audience a reason to watch. You sure can’t say it wasn’t entertaining. Yes, I too was blown away that she was singing live and singing pretty damn good, especially the big note she held towards the end.

    Hey, Annie, I noticed that too! There was probably some sort of backing track, but you could definitely hear breathing and throatiness. Not my favorite song ever (and definitely not my fave wardrobe choices ever) but entertaining. It is, however, pretty pathetic that we’re reduced to giving Ms. Ga credit for singing live at all…

    “I’m your purser” !!!!
    THAT IS AWESOME.
    Only because I have watched Kylie’s performance of Light Years ten thousand times. Apparently, I was not the only one.
