The song skit she did with JT was HILARIOUS!

I thought she was great! "Edge of Glory" has immensely grown on me and I liked the stripped down version she did prior to "Judas". I thought she sounded a little out of breath or sick at times but I actually kind of liked that because it proved she was singing live and still was rocking it. Her participation in the sketches was hilarious too, loved her in the Digital Short and I'm convinced that if What's The Name was a real game show, she'd do that well on it. I could definitely see her coming back next season and being a host/musical guest instead of only a musical guest. She kind of was the co-host as it was!

I love her piano versions!! That said, all was fine until they slung her up in the stirrups. TMI and I turned it off before whatever happened happened.

For all of her fame-whoring, I can see why some would be inspired by her.

Nothing happened. They threw glitter.

To be completely honest, I thought her skits were great. Her performances? I still don't get it. She did the same "piano intro into dancing" again like she always does. She needs to fire Laurie Ann Gibson. The dancing is so bad.

Being older, I have seen almost everything from the entertainment field so nothing that Lady Gaga does is NEW to me. So much of what she does reminds me a lot of old Elton John from the mid 70's and Madonna (80's and 90's) especially the blond ponytail swinging around. She takes a little bit from everyone from Elvis to today's singers and a little bit from old Sci-fi movies.

I will say some of her music is catchy but she does a lot of gimmicks since that's what the kids seem to like no matter what decade.

I like Lady Gaga a lot better than Taylor Swift whose boring and bland and I am in my 50's.

Love Justin and Gaga's skits though on SNL. Love the Barry Gibb Talk Show but this one was sort of lame. The other ones were much funnier. Hoping the REAL Barry Gibb will show up one time during that skit.

Thankfully.

Agreed that her skits were good. I don't know if this digital short will be as iconic as D in a Box, but I laughed sooo hard at "helicopters"....

A lot of what she does reminds me of early to mid 80's Elton. I love how she is influenced by him, Motley Crue, Poison, Bob Dylan, The Beatles. It's great that she wants to be like these people and adores old music. I watched her eTalk special last night. I didn't think I could fall more in love with her, but I was wrong.

The only thing I didn't like about her SNL performance was the fact that she transformed the stage to look more 'Gaga.' It is supposed to look like Grand Central, that's what makes Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live.
