That video makes her ass look huge but maybe its the stripes. She looks a lot heavier than any pics I've seen of her. Was it just the video? Mick should have wore the gorilla suit.

Hey, Paisan! You've seen what happens to our women when they get a little older, right?

I think Mick was at a loss for what to do next...she stole it and rocked it. It was a lot of fun to watch

She was over the top, slightly out of control, but clearly very into it.
I very much appreciated her as guest. I think Florence was far more 'likeable' and Lisa better vocally, but Gaga added some uncertainty to the proceedings.
You were just never sure if she was going to crash into Mick or fall on her ass at some point.
Even Mick looked amused.

Her constant bending at the waist was like a submissive message to Mick.

It's a dark song and Clayton's wail was just that, a wail...it gave the song that added urgency.
Gaga, I think, was trying to capture that. Say what you want about her, but she respects the music.
She may look and seem outrageous, but you take all that away - and she's a musician.
In that respect, a song like GM needs that kind of urgency, almost desperate. Because that's the mood of the song. It had lost that with Lisa's proper rendition. It's not about who the more proper singer is, but who brings some edginess to it. And in light of what happened in CT yesterday, this song needed to be real again.
I think Gaga brought the song back to its original feel and not just as a vocal exercise.
How should one dress in order to pay respects to that song? Should she have worn formal wear? It's a concert not a funeral! Who the f-uck cares! Close your eyes and enjoy the music.Quote

to come out only to sing Gimme Shelter, in that ridiculous @#$%& getup was completely disrespectual to that song.

I disagree with a lot of what you write here. While I have no problem with her in general, I do have a problem with her last night. You said she respects the music.... to come out only to sing Gimme Shelter, in that ridiculous @#$%& getup was completely disrespectual to that song.
Perhaps on the video, they don't focus on her the whole time, so you can concentrate on the other players, but in the arena, unfortunately, she was too distracting. I was pulled away from the intensity of the song because my mind was going in ten different directions:
Is she going to fall?
Is her tit going to fall out?
She has nice tits.
Her face is a sweatball?
I wonder if Mick is grossed out looking at her sweaty face?
Her hair looks like it's could catch on fire.
Did she just mess up the words again?
Those and other thoughts were going through my head during most of the song. At the end of it I realized, wow, I barely even heard this song, she ruined it for me. She ruined the song with her antics, thus DISRESPECTING THE MUSIC! I came away from it angry.

Great perspective Cindy... thanks... and you made me chuckle a bit too.
btw- ignore the dweebs who are camping on this thread just waiting to pounce on anyone who does not shower gaga with glowing praise.... its kind of redonkulaous.
