No makeup, no glam, no theatrics. Just pure talent and honesty

No wide screen as well, only close up like THEY didnt like how she dressed up

​@ginamorse9012 absolutely foolish opinion

​@Ride Out Your Storm she has zero makeup on. None

​@pltcn61 why are you even here? That attention deprived huh

One thing about Gaga...she can steal the show in ANY context. This moment had so much heart in it.

Chills!!!

This is who’s she’s always been. When she first started singing, she had to get peoples attention by being creative and artistically over the top. She set the tone of the 2010s. Every pop star starting trying to out do her. But Gaga was always 20 steps ahead. Now she can get on the stage and be stripped down and people actually hear her. I find it funny that all us little monsters always knew this but the rest of the world never got it. I’m glad she showed this to the world. I remember when she came out as Jo Calderone at the mtv music awards. She was telling an honest dialogue and every celebrity in that room was so confused. I understood that back then that was the only way she could tell her story and hold everyone’s attention.

Yes you are right I think she has always been misunderstood by the public in that way. The first time I heard her on the radio around 2007-2009 I instantly fell in love with her voice. I’ve been a fan since. Always knew she would be a huge star.

BS. Before she was signed she dressed up too. Her style in just dance and poker-face is who she is

Really bad tune this time though

@Cat Girl are you referring to Lina Morgana? Yes that was very tragic. There is 0 proof that Gaga killed her. Linas mom tried to make a case that Gaga copied her and threw up a bunch of pictures of comparisons. I don’t want to image what Linas mom is going through with the loss of her daughter. It’s horrible, but Gaga didn’t copy her. It’s a far reach to claim that. Rob Fusari in my opinion is the questionable one. If you watch Gaga’s paparazzi music video, in my opinion she is recreating Linas death by exposing what happened to her. Showing a man pushing her off the balcony. That music video also talks about how fame in general kills. Gaga actually puts a lot of effort into everything she does and always has a deep meaning. She doesn’t need to copy anything. She tells a story with every video or performance.

Actually she ripped off her look and possibly the songs, and that singer she ripped off … mysteriously died.

From the wildest costume and makeup, to the purest Tshirt and without makeup. She has proved that talent and voice are the essence of a diva

Lady Gaga is the definition of Art Major elegance.

As an artist I agree, she does what we all do best, synthesize all of our disparate bits of inspiration and insight into something relatable, something that speaks directly to people, as an artist if you're not doing that, then you're doing it wrong.

She is

Anyone who didn’t like this performance most likely never had anyone in their life suffer from depression, addiction, mental health issues, grief, anxiety, etc. - Holding someone- being there to help someone through their darkest days - is the best part of being human. This stripped down performance was so appropriate and from her heart. I felt the “it’s personal” behind this performance. Just a beautiful performance of a deeply touching song. Keep being you.❤

@Néstor Pérez I love the song but that's a fair point

Or they just didn't like it, that might happen you know.

Good for you Margie.

It doesn't matter if you are sad, happy or depressed, Lady Gaga will always have a song for you.

@MKGadget true

She knows audience very well

This is so true 💜🍀🌈🔥🐬🌏

“You can be your own hero even if you feel broken inside”. best quote from Gaga 😢 sing it all over and over again even the lyrics struck me

This particular performance, for once...she's not Lady Gaga. She's just, Stefani. The rawness, the emotions we got from this one performance, needs no makeups or flashy dresses, just pure TALENT. She's fucking awesome, legendary. Not really a fan of her musical style before but grew up listening to much of her pop famous songs. As people may said, she looked crazy but I believed that she did that as a way to rebel and masking her insecurities. But as an adult now, I appreciate her presence and how much her voice and songs have helped went through my emotional conflicts.

She did all the "crazy things" because her first Studio told her she had no place in The Industry with only her pretty voice and her piano. And then she said "Fine, watch me" and look at her now, 13 Grammys, one Oscar, a sold-out Tour and a $500M Movie.

She also did it to get the foot in the industry. She was over looked when she was starting and her first label Def Jam dropped her. When she got into Interscope Records she turned ,360 and became one of the biggest popstars. But the woman can sing.

I love how Lady Gaga can literally wear whatever the hell she wants and get away with it! Whether it's a meat dress, or a classy cocktail gown, or ripped jeans and no makeup like she just rolled out of bed and walked in off the street, she somehow manages to ALWAYS pull it off and make it enhance the performance! Brava, Mother Monster! Brava!!! 👏😭💖

From the Haus of Gaga to the House of Gucci to the House of Oscar to the House of Grammy; Lady Gaga is extraordinary!

Wow

Me encanta. Es una crack como cantante y compositora !!! ❤❤❤❤

Esta canción ganó la mejor del año, y nadie me va a decir lo contrario! 💕🥹

@Sarasti S You are wrong, it has everything to do with diversity that's why Naatu Naatu won for being an Indian, just because of that

Así es. Hay cientos de canciones como la de RRR en todas las películas de Bollywood y por desgracia ya no se premia la calidad sino otras cosas.

Lady Gaga is orbital, revolutionary, and yes, so very loved

She doesn't need glimmering clothes and hair styles to rock the stage.. Her music is enough for her.. she is a ture rockstar and looks like it no matter what she wears ❤

this song gives mad energy and inspiration

She is something else, I adore this woman xx🎉 what a beautiful soul she is 💜

Lady Gaga is a crescendo of brilliance

This woman is an enigma; no one can predict her next move. I deeply love her for all the music she’s giving us

Totally agreeing

Beneath did a duet with cyndi lauper too. Wrong! Bennett.

No one can also predict her tuning

Só foi um violão,piano e microfone e mais uma vez fez história. Apenas Rainha 😍😍😍👏👏👏

Yay 😃👍

Lady Gaga is a rockstar of quantum proportion, a cascade wave of showering starlight!

Rain on me ✨✨✨✨

This song blasts through a nocturne of nightfall with an orchestra of aviation.

Or indeed, if Cynthia Germanotta were watching, she might say, "Give my daughter the Oscar!!! Give my daughter the Oscar!!!!" for this ever-riveting Oscar nominated song. She nailed it!

People amazed at how Lady Gaga performed without makeup, but this is just a pinch of how genuine and great singer she is.

All of her Oscar performances, whether it is Hold My Hand, Shallow, Till it happens to you or The Sound of Music, she has delivered a breathtaking experience. So proud of her

@Emanuel Tal hahaha maybe

Is she a clone of Barbra Streisand?

@ESC Cyprus true

@Felicity Young yess

there is something about her that makes her a unique human being. she appeared in the place where all artists take the opportunity to show themselves with the best they have. everything is glamor and she appeared on stage as natural as possible. I have been seeing gestures and attitudes that are not common in artists for a long time. she never got on any pedestal. she treats everyone as equals... and at the same time every time I see her she has a sad look like there's something unresolved inside her.

@Neelu Kalshi last show failed? It was sold out! I was there 😍

Yes trauma pain illness failed engagements failed last show failed so much.... AND yet she sang her heart out

Nobody can't be more ICONIC. No make up, no phancy clothes and no back up dancers but still a beautiful piece of art and standing ovation.

The song is really good it deserves a oscar

only realised her talent after star is born...she is incredible ...i am a 60s.70s music lover into hard rock ...but she is something to admire...love her singing.

I Will Say it Again...Authentic is the New Sexy!!! Lady GaGa was truly Born This Way!!⚔️🌹⚔️

I remember when Gaga first appeared in mainstream, many thought she was a flash in the pan. This woman is incredibly creative, powerful, inspirational, and has a voice that transcends most distinguished pop icons of our era. What I love most is that she did a total 180, no makeup, no extravagant designer pieces, to give us the woman she is deep down. There is so much beauty in the raw, and we need more people to realize that in the polished “everything has to be polished” pop culture.

I remember when Pokerface was new, my husband managed a record store and he came home and said "you have to hear this," and I just knew she was here to stay.

it takes balls to go on stage to sing without the things that could hide the imperfections. she is fucking amazing. what she wore and just everything about her was amazing. my mom and i used to play new songs for each other that we loved and this song was the first time in a long time that i loved a song enough to want to do that but my mom has been gone for almost 25 years (sorry if this isnt making sense im a bit drunk)

She's a godess. I love her so much

I couldn't relate early onhe was offensive to me but can see it was her way of expression trying to get heard. For all she has put herself thru to get her .self heard...I will forever be her pedestal MYheart is always BTS first but her along with a couple female artists they've won my admiration Hwasa, Gaga just recently Soyoon . women have to support each other .🤝

Let’s keep supporting this video so that it gets to the top of the charts. ❤️

Lady Gaga is a visionary of loveliness

This goes to show that true talent lies in the heart of the artist. Pure raw talent! No bumping, grinding, tight clothing, or prancing on the stage needed. Lady Gaga's performance here spoke to many people who need to be reminded that there are those who care. Her instant connection to the audience is masterful! ❤

Gaga is pure inspiration 🌟❤

Legends never fade Lady Gaga has been in the music industry for the last decade

Lady Gaga is a MAVERICK, a LEGEND, and yes, a ROCKSTAR!

No makeup, glamour or special effects, just pure raw singing straight from the heart.

@Gina Morse Why? she sounded great

that’s how it should be only gaga would do this she is so original ❤👏

@Gina Morse No, she really does not. If you would rather hear a song sang with auto tune as opposed to someone singing from their heart with emotion, then you really don't have an ear for music.

@Josias Lourenço Amen 🙏🏻

She is so extremely gifted. My favorite artist was/is Prince, she reminds me of him somewhat . Shes captivated me unexpectedly.

QUEEN OF MUSIC ❤

her speech gave me goosebump and tears! absolutely love Lady Gaga!! an all-rounder singer at all time on earth!!!!

Desculpa Mother, eu estou chorando por estar no auge da minha exaustão mental, mas mesmo quando eu estou assim, eu me lembro de você, eu não deveria estar assim, não no dia do seu aniversário, mas sempre que escuto suas músicas sinto como um abraço ou um colo, você sempre faz eu me sentir melhor, obrigada, obrigada por existir. O seu sorriso é o motivo do meu. Feliz aniversário ❤

A reminder that Lady Gaga does all the theatrics, fancy clothing, makeup and other stuff because she's a visual artist and she loves being creative and not because she needs it.

I love her for being raw in front of THIS crowd at THIS event. So bold. So powerful. We need more real people on TV.

@Matt Thompson in that case I like raw.....the world needs more raw(honesty)....

​​@Danielson E Martinez Bleareal' and 'raw' is pretty obvious in the scenario. She is at the 'biggest' event of the year, surrounded by supposed 'mega stars' with egos bigger than Jupiter. She isn't dolled up in some dopey costume. She isn't revealing her body for shock value. For the most part, she's sitting on a chair in a tee shirt & ripped jeans and she isn't miming. She even yanked out her earpiece out after slightly bumming a note. That's what we need more of. Real and raw. Better than pretentious, ostentatious, half-naked performers that can't even sing without lip-syncing to backing tracks. Pretty obvious really...

​@Danielson E Martinez Blea You are all over the comments. Just say you're a hater and go 😂

Being raw...lol....what does that mean?....she is real...real what....I think u mean real honesty...that's what being real means...to be honest.

Powerful lyrics Powerful voice Powerful performance Powerful music More than Oscars Awards.. Simply powerful Lady Gaga❤️🇵🇭

She always been so great at getting two applauses 😎💅🏻

All of your songs are deeply personal to me on one level or another. but this song got my through last summer, when I lost my Daddy in June, followed by 2 uncles & then my best friend on Aug 1st. Thank you for holding my hand through it. Thank you for helping me hold me own hand through it.

Thank you for sharing and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.

Puro talento está mujer❤

Hand］，真是震撼人心，聽到都要感動落淚啊～

Lady Gaga is a voice for our angels in flight

No makeup,no gaga styled dress,no artistic scenes Just pure singing Absolute Queen!

@J024 😂🤣🤣😂 lol well barley any makeup... Not Classic GaGa crazy music video makeup.

​@PrincessReese She has been having those for quite a while now. Nothing to fuss about though, she is amazing.

She had make up on.

this is the real gaga and she now has a lifelong fan

And lip injections

ESSE OSCAR E MERECIDO ARTISTA COMPLETA ...I AM FROM BRAZIL

No one can do it like her. 🧡

True

Lady Gaga blasts through a nocturne of nightfall with an orchestra of aviation

I think it's the most original performance ever . Despite mindblowing people with showing up without makeup or watsoever she delivered an emotional yet perfect performance ever. She inspires me to love myself more.😘Thank you so much Gaga

Increíble cómo ha crecido esta artista desde sus comienzos, genial!

Even if this song did not win an Oscar, it is already a victory in our eyes. Lady Gaga gave us a completely new and moving performance in the eyes of the public but also in the eyes of those who are experiencing a period of ill-being. An extraordinary emotion.

@sand under table there's a category for best original song

Oscars are film awards. How would the song win an Oscar???

this song is saving lives

Yes

*Here is the full clip explaining why dad left you: (Making fun of bots)* https://youtu.be/1okpO_avr5s

Amazing 👏

Puro talento essa dona Lady... Incrível.

I'll always leave a light on for Lady Gaga.

Maravillosa, por más mujeres que se amen como son, hermosa de la vida

Pure stunning vocality.

No show off, no big production, just her strong voice and that face that's so pretty even without make up. YOU ARE A WOMAN FULL OF TALENT LADY GAGA🖤

❤️😘🥰

Staying true and HUMAN

@John B hi

This performance gave me chills and tears! It was beautiful! She is so talented! I am almost 60 years old. I have loved her from the beginning! I will until I am in heaven or wherever I go….

She is AWESOME for showing her true self. Just raw and real in front of a TV and a huge event like the Oscar’s. People need to see this side of celebrities and realize they are people too! They have some of the same obstacles we face in life no matter how much money or fame you have. Her voice is so unique and powerful! 💗💗

It should have won the Oscar. No question.

Lady Gaga masz cudowną barwę głosu i do tego dar aktorski.Dzięki Ci że tworzysz dla nas tak super muzykę.Kocham Cię.Siema.

Tão linda... O monte de subterfúgios que ela usa só ofuscam isso. Beleza e talento.

Don’t adjust it, don’t tune it, don’t mask it. Just give her the piano and let her sing. My god her voice and talent are just unmatched. ❤️

Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, James 2:24,26 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

G DRAGON KING ,,,

@Sophia B lol the damage is yours

A melhor do universo ❤ Lady Gaga God 🇧🇷

Before this performance, she literally did held somebody's hand when she rushed and helped a photographer stand up after he fell on the red carpet. Shows how much of a beautiful she is.

I have no words...she is simply amazing and has earned her stars. 💜💜💜.

Gaga素顏還是好美❤歌聲都是力量

Canta muito

All of her Oscar performances, whether it is Hold My Hand, Shallow, Till It Happens To You or The Sound of Music, she has delivered a breathtaking experience. Pure talent!

Juilliard grad. Nuff said

She studied Opera ❤ that explains her great performance

She has the no make up make up look on.

Hold my hand (my opinion) deserved best original song Oscar.

and all got her a STANDING OVATION

Unbelievable to me that this song did not win the Oscar. For me this song was a safe bet. But is that important? It is not. With or without, it is a very special song, right from the heart that touches so many.

My least favorite Gaga Oscar performance, but it’s one of her most acclaimed by the general public. 👏 says it all!!! No makeup no choreography just her voice!

With or with make-up and glitz, it's Lady Gaga. Beautiful and talented.Phenominal!

One of the best Oscar 2023 moments. Great voice and great no make up look. She is beautiful.

OMG She is stunning. Live performance is so great! So open. so honest. Well-directed, but still. I like no-makeup Lady Gaga.

No dancers and special effects. Only her comfortable clothes and nothing more than her voice. She is a genius. SHE IS ART.

She can do it all

and without… meat 😂😂😂

And without makeup

The Oscar was stolen. This song is the true winner! I love the song and I love GAGA!

This is Amazing 👌 I'm lost for words Just WOW 💞❤️💞

Muito bonita sem maquiagem. Diferente dos vídeos que já assisti .

She played it very well, she did everything she could in her beginnings to get attention including wearing steak, just to end up being accepted as here self, no covers, no make up, no steaks.

Lady Gaga always great voice great perform when live always! Love her so much😍🥰❤

I love what she said to introduce the song. I love that she presented herself stripped of make-up, stripped of fancy clothes. She offered her simplest, truest self here. Not many people can do that. Most of us spend our lives trying to hide ourselves. Love this woman. Such a moving performance.

we need to stop hiding. we have a right to exist and we can be who we want to be.

@Gina Morse nailed it!

This is not her true self. This represents grief. How are people this lost????

Annnnd you bought it. Just like you bought that who she was next to Tony bennet was who she really was, just like you bought that when she wore the meat dress she was being who she truly was. I don’t know what’s worse the fact that she can’t pick something and make it stick or that the fans grab a hold of every one of her gimmicks like it’s her best and truest self ever!

Lady gaga showing up to the carpet in an incredible Versace gown and singing in the main stage with some ripped skinny jeans, grey t-shirt and no makeup CAN SOMEONE BE THIS ICONICCC??????????

A true Masterclassic.

Emotions to give.. In that moment.. That's all. She always keeps me still and positively curious. I respect this woman very much ♥️

Me hubiera gustado que gane LA MEJOR PELÍCULA QUE FUÉ TOP GUN MAVERICK. LADY GAGA ESTABA ESPLÉNDIDA ❤

This is not just a music video. This is a hight quality pure ART from a performance!❤

This is pure talent. Pure face. Pure voice. Pure clothes. No makeup. Kudos to this woman.

The Gospel: (I am not a bot, I'm just someone who enjoys spreading the gospel. Much love to you all!) The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over His enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy. Peter says in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.” So Christ died not only to forgive sin, but also that it might die in the lives of His people. ~Quoting John Piper~ ALSO My friend put together a great PowerPoint about the Gospel and Jesus being the prophesied Messiah. I'd like to share if you're interested, just reply and I can send you the link. May Jesus Bless you!

And her confidence 😲

G DRAGON KING ---

Maravilhosa

I just figured out why this song resonated with so many people. In this trying time, this song, the lyrics in particular sound like a gospel church song. In times of crisis, chaos, and confusion people are drawn to sources of hope. It's truly amazing how spirituality and God can find you, even amongst the godless or those adamantly averted to it. In my hour of darkness, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be - Paul McCartney - Let it be.

What else i can say other than: She's the boss! I have deep respect for this woman, not only for her obvious talents, but for her courage as well. She is a special lady and we can all be grateful to have her amongst us.

Non c'è da dire niente... Talento unico, ogni volta che canti ho i brividi e mi trasmetti un qualcosa che nessun altro cantante riesce a farlo. Unica e mostruosa, davvero ❤️❤️🙌🏻

Que talento é esse?????

I love how she stripped away the flash, costumes, make up and just gave us a raw real performance…. When you take away all of the flashiness you get the real emotion of the song that ppl can relate too and be drawn into.

Agreed. I love a performer like Miley Sirus. Great songs and voice, but she has to do a stripper/ burlesque routine all the time. Her talent, like Gagas doesn't need the the side show crap. Like say, a meat dress ?

@Agnes O'Hara she literally could have taken it anyway she wanted too, she could have done what Beyoncé did last year or a somewhat big production number like natu natu did this year, but the fact she took it to a stripped down - basement feel Verison had a more significant impact on us this it would of had it been a big number.

@Agnes O'Hara zaltw robotę

@Calli A zaltw robotę

BREATHTAKING SIMPLY BREATHTAKING .....IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS LOVELY BEAUTIFUL LADY !!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lady Gaga is a celebrity to the celebrities, those cheers DURING her performance prove as much 😌😌😌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

❣Une Lady doublée d'une complète Artiste et d'autant plus belle comme ça en naturelle
