Gaga is performing again later with some other people as a tribute to Britney Spears.

At least, I think that's what's going on.


I'm currently laughing my rear end off at all the people who were surprised by the Jo Calderone thing...Jo has existed for like a year and I'm pretty sure every Gaga fan suspected she'd perform as Jo.

I don't think Gaga is doing the Britney thing. In fact, I don't think they've actually even announced what exactly the "tribute" is going to be. The entire idea of paying tribute to someone who is still alive, making music, and famous is incredibly stupid in and of itself though, so I guess they could have said what it was and I just didn't retain it.

And now Nicki Minaj is dressed like Gaga doing some scripted bullshit. Is Gaga doing anything else during this show or should I just turn it off?

She's nominated for (I think) 3 videos, and she'll definitely make a couple wardrobe changes during the show, which are always fun to watch. No idea what her chances of winning and getting to make a speech are though.

Edit: Just saw an article on GagaDaily saying that Gaga, Adele, and Tony Bennett are going to sing "Body and Soul" in tribute to Amy Winehouse at some point tonight.

Reading this, suddenly I'd love to hear Gaga do Back to Black.

Tony Bennett singing Brittany would also be acceptable, but for entirely different reasons.

Pretty sure it was meant to be a jab at the Madonna kiss seeing as there was a fairly cheesy build-up into Britney turning to the mic and saying "I've already done that!" (or something similar) while laughing. You even see Gaga and Britney turn to each other when the lights start to dim and both of them burst into a fit of giggles. I had a bunch of friends get all up in arms about Gaga presenting Britney with the award citing that Britney "ISN'T EVEN A REAL ARTIST" and Gaga is so far above her level. I love them both but I did find it funny that a lot of people think that way.

That being said, I was pretty happy to see Jo Calderone do the whole show. It was impressive and completely unexpected. Guess I got my theatrics :allears:

My favorite part was Dave Grohl just freaking right the gently caress out when Brian May came out. He was so happy to be there :3:

Why did most people hate Jo? I loved it. I'm not even a big Lady Gaga fan. Much of the time the media wonders what new crazy wacky thing is Gaga going to wear next? So she doesn't even come as herself. I loved how Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry tried to out gaga Gaga with their fashion choices, and Gaga responds by not even coming as herself. I also really love You & I. Oh crap I think I'm being converted.

One more thing I loved: seeing her/him next to Tony Bennett. I wonder what crazy conversations she, Tony and Brian May had in the after party.

Ok, this first video looks like a glorified photo shoot.

I mean it's Gaga so she's pretty as gently caress, and it's her little farm girl piano dress, but man I hope the others are nice and diverse.

Well I guess I'm a dum-dum then. VVV

They are all photo shoots, dude. It said that in her first tweet about them that they're all fashion things like that. It will just be her in different outfits doing photo poses.

I think this thread may be the only one who will get the joke behind my username.

This year's VMA stunt is easily my favourite. It more than makes up for that nonsense with the egg when Born This Way came out.

I'm also impressed at how much work she's put into the whole Joe Calderone persona. It's evolved a lot since those early Japanese photo shoots. When I thought saw them I thought it was a cool thing to do, but she still obviously looked like a woman cosplaying as a guy from Travolta's gang in 'Grease'.

Since then, she's put a lot of work into getting the body language and way of speaking much more convincingly male. Joe Calderone really did seem like a genuine pint-size ball of rage. The interview afterwards was hilarious, particularly when someone suggested Calderone was a "guido".
