Let’s take a trip to the 2023 Oscars, where Lady Gaga surprised everyone, sharing a deeply personal experience with the audience. Possibly, for the first time ever, we saw Gaga in a completely casual fit, with her hair pulled back, wearing a plain T and ripped jeans. It was a big switch from the flashy performances we all know and love her for. Just seeing her this way, made it quite clear that what was about to happen would be truly unforgettable.

Before she started singing “Hold My Hand” from the movie Top Gun: Maverick, she described it as a “deeply personal” piece. She started singing with just a piano playing softly in the background. It was simple and heartfelt. But then, an entire band edged their way in, perfectly harmonizing with her voice really. The video of her performance quickly got to 10 million views online. Fans loved how honest and raw her performance was. One fan even wrote, “She has proved that talent and voice are the essence of a diva.”

Fast forward a year, and Gaga was back on our screens on Jimmy Kimmel Live! She had just released a new album called Harlequin and was playing Harley Quinn in the movie Joker: Folie à Deux. On the show, she performed a song from her album called “Happy Mistake.”

Gaga modeled a worn-out dress that looked like something from an old carnival, surrounded by shredded paper and her band. It was her classic dramatic style, but her incredible singing was still the star of the show. Fans couldn’t stop talking about it, saying things like, “This is a performnce of a lifetime for the one-and-only Lady Gaga. Such powerful vocals here; this is simply phenomenal.”

Throughout her career, Lady Gaga has been praised for her outstanding performances and creative ideas. Some people think her big, dramatic style might sometimes take attention away from her music. However, her performances at the Oscars and on Jimmy Kimmel showed everyone that her true talent is, in fact, her incredible voice and her songwriting skills. Whether she’s keeping it simple and emotional or going all out with big productions, Lady Gaga always finds a way to shine brighter than anyone.
