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.

She’s a living legend

I agree with you ❤Just... Maybe I am too old or not wise enough to understand the "hidden" meaning(if there is any) behind all the songs such as Bloody Mary, Telephone etc... But it just might quite easily be the level of my English🙈🙉🙊Anyway, Lady gaga is real star with or without makeup and I wish her all the best🌻

I’ve always loved her extravagance. I’ve been here since nearly the beginning of her career and her talent, passion, and humanity is what made me love her. I love that the world and average person is seeing what I always saw underneath everything.

That’s because she grew up and it became less about her being the centre of attention and her music over took her image

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

Love the tshirt!!!

What is lost is that she needed those costumes to get to this point.

😂a

🙋🙈🤗🥺

yes she may call herself a diva proven every time again

I’m not even a fan, but man it’s impossible not to be drawn into the purity of her emotion. Such a massive talent. Seriously. There are a handful of women on the planet who can do what Lady Gaga does. None of them with the pain of existence rubbed into them like this young lady. Remarkable.

She's amazing artist ❣️

Over talented women

@Edna Destefanis excatly

I think you really are a fan now !❤ Or at least an admirer. 👍

She proves time and time again. You don’t NEED a huge set and stage production to give a performance that’s an added show baby. She is talent.

i also love that she’s also the one to bring BOTH. today she’s showing you raw talent and beauty and tomorrow she’s gonna show you energy, presence and VISUALS on a sold-out stadium

People like Beyonce should learn to strip it down sometimes.

No, she needs

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.❤

Good for you Margie.

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

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

@Néstor Pérez I see your point. I'm not trying to pit the women in this industry against each other but Adele has been signing her songs for years standing and with a little of dance but she has never been "disliked" for singing songs like that. I know that it's her style but when Gaga, someone people have seen as "crazy" for a very long time, does something very normal, people are just like "I don't like it" :( I'm not saying specifically anything to you. I'm talking generally.

I understand this song all the way ❤

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 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.

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.

Her style was actually awesome, yes some of it was crazy it was a very precise choice for multiple reasons, its common for musicians especially in classic rock and pop to dress crazy just for the simple fact they are rockstars and are always putting on a unique show or dress in this sense and yes she too was doing this but she had many other reasons and important statements she loved make through her dress and overall look. I was in my late teens when she came out and I was not a confident person and hadn’t figured out who I was then so her style in my mind back then was too much for me to understand so I naturally didn’t appreciate it but now I look back at all of it, love a lot of her outfits, she looked incredible, always, I love art and she is living art with that said I do love her natural look and this best shes breathtaking without all the crazy dress too but she does it all in an extraordinary way.

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.

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.

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

​​@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...

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

I wonder "who" aka as "a girl" told Gaga that she would be happy again. Do you guys have any idea of her friend's name? I am curious now. 🤭❤

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

The power in this woman's voice!! It blew me away.

Oh man, you should look up her other performances. This one is awful, and sounded over-stressed like she was trying to do too much. She's also had too much surgery on her face, it cant convey the emotion she was once able to do before destroying her face.

@jbcvabeach82 What plastic surgery? she gets fillers from time to time and had rhinoplasty years ago, that is hardly what I would call plastic surgery. None of her features look different than they used to look. As for the performance, it was good but I agree she was trying to do too much to compensate for it being so toned down, I saw her do a vastly superior version at the Chromatica Ball.

​@jbcvabeach82 aweful by what standards? She went there at the last minute, with no rehearsing, only a small band and no back singers, try to do something like that, see how awesome you sound

@Sharknadoclash Awful by Lady Gaga's standards. She's slowly decomposing her carreerereeerrrrrr! :-P

@jbcvabeach82 stupid comments lol

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!!! 👏😭💖

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 ❤

She is pop star actually...huhhh

All her 4 Oscar performances are PERFECT!!!

Yesssss!

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

We don't deserve her She is too good for this World

FACTS

🤦‍♂️

Truth

and all got STANDING OVATION too

Just this performance alone deserves an Oscar and all the awards in the world ❤

PURE STUNNING VOCALITY

Lady Gaga, the greatest talent of all time... Hearing this without music drowning out her voice is even more spectacular. This woman continues to amaze me everyday. She truly has phenomenal vocals ❤

Ahahaha

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.

Lady Gaga gave us not only her phenomenal talent at her performance at the Oscars, but words of wisdom as she explains how personal this song is to her. I hope you enjoy it and appreciate it just one-tenth of what it gave me. True talent makes me cry. And she is a talented singer, pianist, song writer, and actress. All the awards she receives and is nominated for, tell you that. I just plain love her!

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

Agree! 💯

She is Mother

❤️❤️❤️❤️✨

Hahaha that's why she is our Mother and Mother knows what her little kids need...😆😍

Let's be honest. This performance was horrible. Much better in the movie!

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

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.

Thank you for offering your hand to all of us who might be in pain right now, Lady Gaga. You are truly an angel. 💜✨

Lady Gaga's voice dances gorgeously around the notes and chords on the musical page sculpting colors of emotion known and unknown on any music chart or color wheel

❤️🤟🏼Wow Lady Gaga!!! You really knocked this out of the House of GAGA!!! Vocals insane!!!💋

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

Just pure talent ❤️

She's pretty, less intimidating w/o all that makeup and glam. I could see myself having a nice conversation w her.

@Janet Cortorreal арго озгшгнпньжющра🎉😅зш❤реогн жгущ г тф❤❤❤я❤❤

I dont think no make up means what you think it means.

Just beautiful ❤

O que essa mulher canta não tá no gibi! Impressionante, arrepiante!

Stunning performance,so beautiful ❤

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

Yay 😃👍

Gaga, mostrou que não precisa de superprodução para dá um show só a voz fez toda a diferença nessa apresentação. Amo!

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.

Concordo plenamente.❤️

Yeah she's real💚

Remember, this is the same woman who just had one of her friends vomit on her twice during a live performance. Real Class Act.

@JSully 🕉🕊💚

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!

She is and always will be the greatest female vocalist to ever sing music in history.. I could listen to her sing anything anytime

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

Gaga if you ever read comments, you should know you're a true artist, and one of the best live performer ever 😅

Her performance keeps me speechless everytime and ill always appreciate the supportive positive position she takes for others

I'm so proud of your growth as an artist! God bless you always Gaga!!

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

W

Totalmente de acuerdo. Supongo que los de RRR eran más "diversos"...

Los votantes del oscar y los millones de personas que vieron la premiación te dirán que el premio no lo gano gaga

She will always produce classic hits

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.

Uma mulher que ajuda tanta gente NÃO PODE SER DO INFERNO...!🙏🙌🌻💌

Shocking everyone with an unusual restraint and candor, the never reticent Lady Gaga held the world's audience in awe, opening it up on stage, literally becoming poetry in motion

Raw, genuine, passionate and extraordinary. Gaga connects with everyone. She’s on this earth to save lives through her music.❤️

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

She is God

Breathtakingly beautiful…as always ❤

Very beautiful ❤

Love her❤

She is...truly EXTRAORDINARY! Lady Gaga is one in ten million in several generations. I love her too!! 🔥🔥🧡❤

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 ❤️❤️🙌🏻

Essa não foi apenas uma grande apresentação, mas uma aula e resgate do que realmente importa!❤👏👏👏👏👏

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….

LADY GAGA IS THE VOICE FOR OUR ANGELS IN FLIGHT

The way she took her inner ear out so flawlessly…… and then her perfectly pitched belt. ❤️ she is a true artist.

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!

SHOULD I DROP OUT OF SCHOOL TO BECOME THE GREATEST ARTIST EVER??🔥🔥

Repent to Jesus Christ “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV

and all got her a STANDING OVATION

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

Lady Gaga é uma grande mulher, talentosa e muito solidária,

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

Impressive singer, amazing voice, wonderful song, very good songwriter. She takes my breat away!

I love ❤️ how Lady Gaga just sings from her heart ❤️ no theatrics or make up etc! So beautiful! So real! I love ❤️ listening to her sing this song like this!

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.

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

She was beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️

I don't think there is any real effect on her voice either. Like it's just straight from the mic.

She literally has makeup

And she needs some auto tune frankly.

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

I feel like she has such a powerful voice, and I hope that it will never go away. ❤❤❤❤

Amo cada vez mais ❣️😍

A certeza de que sou fã da artista certa! ♥

I can feel her emotions! Amazing, Lady Gaga!

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

She looks much better like that

And lip injections

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

She had make up on.

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

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

This is why I love Lady Gaga. because she is kind Because her voice is pretty Because she spends time with celebrities Because she is so special to us And because she supports her fans 🥹🤌 I Fricking love u lady Gaga 😭💖

0:35 - "But you might find that you can be your own hero even if you feel broken inside..." Those words of hers, made me cry here ... I keep it deeply in my heart whenever I go through a difficult moment in my life. Sometimes that's what living is ...

Me too

Gaga has stunned us over and over with her appearances over the years but this is by far the most beautiful look I've seen her rock. Lord Have Mercy

I love this!!! It’s absolutely breathtaking🥰

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. ❤️

Going back to her roots just a piano and her amazing voice 😍

That's it ❤️

I've seen the best performances of any voice next to a guitar or piano, acoustic, raw, just undeniably authentic.

Terrible song

Truly Brilliant! Love to Lady Gaga 💖🎤🎶!

Puro talento essa dona Lady... Incrível.

How did this song not win! This is a masterpiece ❤❤❤

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

Vestida ricamente de seu talento!!!! Como brilha❤

An artist through and through.

“You might find that you can be your own hero, even if you feel broken inside.” Thank you Lady for reminding us that we should never give up on ourselves

Es señorita no señora, todavía no se ha casado ni tiene hijos

Well said - we should NEVER give up on ourselves ❤

She is incredible, her words touched me so much

Vi su película ha nacido una estrella y me gustó 😊

This song will always have a place amongst the firmament

Lady Gaga is pure talent! One of the best female artists EVER

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.

I am from Germany, 61 years old and love black sabbath, lynyrd skynyrd, kansas, larkin poe , all kind of rock, blues, country, southern rock an so on. I am not so interested in mainstream and boring pop or hip hop. I respect lady gaga as a unique artist. But some days ago I find her newer music (from a star is born, or maverick, or this from the oscars/2023) and now I have to say, that she is unbelievable !!! What an actress, how beauty without all this bullshit of make-up and glamour, what for a marvelous singer/songwriter. With my deepest respect I wish you all the best for your future. Come as you are (Live Oscar 2023)

All the early theatrics I'm convinced she did just to get media attention so she could do this

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

I was suspect of this song as a die hard Top Gun fan with a minimum of 100 listens to the original soundtrack. Her voice has such gravitas and the lyrics are universal. It is now the first listen when I need a lift up. Thanks Lady Gaga. You are the “Mighty Wings” to me of Top Gun Maverick.

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.

I like how she turned it into a country song almost. You and I also has that country twang. Best act of that night.

@Laura Larrabee you and i is such a great song

What else was she gunna do, she has already done everything

@Calli A zaltw robotę

She is not comparable to anyone! Love you, Lady Gaga! ❤👍👍👍

Perfeição

6 million views already for this spectacular performance by Lady Gaga. Wow... She is the real performer.

She is phenomenal. Loved the movie, loved the song, and I appreciate that, for both the movie and this performance, they included a dedication to Tony Scott.

Elle est extraordinaire avec sa personnalité et sa voix exceptionnelle, elle est juste sublime, je l’adore.❤

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🖤

she makes you feel the music, very few people can do that.

Staying true and HUMAN

❤️😘🥰

I never paid much attention to Lady Gaga because of her extravangance. I always thought she was more show then music. But then I saw her do a duet with Tony Bennet and concluded:"Jee this lady can really sing". Then I saw how she talked about Tony Bennet and became an instant fan. She can really sing and has her heart at the right place. In addition in this clip here today she also looks better then she has ever before. I wish her all the things she wants out of life.

Me da tanto orgullo ser contemporánea a Lady Gaga. Es magnífica, es una diosa y en muchos muchos años será recordada como una leyenda.

Maravilhosaaa❤

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

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

Rain on me ✨✨✨✨

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

It is called GROWTH!

Beautiful

This just goes to show that the biggest pop stars ain't really that great. No way any of then can sounds like their recordings. Lady gaga is decent live, probably one of the best but if its "pure talent" you are looking for, best check out the musical theatre performers.

A part of this growth is a bit of Bradley Cooper - he challenged her to just be naturally herself when they worked on A Star is Born - from what I've read they've built a great friendship.

In my opinion, she doesn't need makeup. She has natural beauty. Very talented.

If I could meet and just talk to one person before I die, it would be Lady Gaga... There is just something special about her.... Truly an amazing lady..

this song gives mad energy and inspiration

Wowww !! What a perfect voice ! She is just amazing!! Natural ! No make up beautiful as the light is !! Wowwww what a voice !!! Its a amazing artist !!!

God love her! ❤ Art in its rawest and purest form.

that was a naturally beautiful performance of a lifetime 💜

The way she performed was awesome. No make-up, no fancy clothes and no over the top music in the back ground. Just her looking natural and really using her voice. Blew me away!

just Stefani Germanotta

Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift

She can easily morph from super-glammed Lady Gaga to ordinary "Joanne" from the lower East Side --- that's why people love her

@Dove thank you Dove. awesome, beautiful. true. hallelujah

El talento viene siendo como una luz muy brillante en la oscuridad, es imposible que pase desapercibida... Simplemente Lady Gaga, ella no necesita presentación. 👏👏👏👏

I have tried... no one answered... This song keeps me going... trying so hard to be my own hero. God I love her... such an amazing human... gives me hope

I love everyone of her songs she has the most beautiful voice and songs
