THAT XFactor performance

Once again Lady Gaga has dominated nearly every media outlet with her garish performance on last nights XFactor live show. If you didn't catch the songstresses original performance then I highly recommend you check it out NOW! (see link below!)

Performing a mash-up of 'Venus' and 'Do What You Want' from her upcoming album 'Artpop', Gaga stole the show and captured the worlds attention. The performance started with an acoustic twist however the performance quickly escalating into the electronic dance number as Gaga was joined by an array of dancers. After Lady Gaga has performed a couple of minutes of 'Venus' she Transformed form her Venus De Milo inspired look; done in true Gaga style she peeled of her wig in a theatrical manner to reveal a brunette bob. Not only did the pop-dive share her undeniable vocal ability with the audience but she also expressed her diversity as a performer and writer when she took to the piano and belted out 'Do What You Want'.



Receiving a standing ovation from the audience and judges, Lady Gaga was then quizzed on her relationship with judge Sharon Osborne. Unrelated to Gaga's professional life or even her performance, the songstress graciously voiced her admiration for Mrs Osborne. For those of you who don't know about the rocky history of this formidable pair let me fill you in. Sharon's daughter, Kelly, stars on a show in the US, 'Fashion Police'. Kelly accused Gaga of hiding a pregnancy due to Lady Gaga's latest creative outfit being none other than a burqa. Feeling protective, hundreds of Gaga's fans took to twitter to voice their anger and the fashion commentators statement. Kelly then accused Lady Gaga of being a 'hypocrite' feeling she claims to promote anti-bullying, yet allows her fans to address her in such a malicious way. I cant help but feel Kelly began the whole feud? In addition, how is Lady Gaga meant to monitor tens of millions of fans, an impossible task!

None the less, Kelly, who initiated the feud, seems to be stubborn enough to continue it. After Gaga presented Sharon Osborne with a cake addressed to Kelly, Kelly then took to her twitter to destroy Gaga's attempts to bury the hatchet tweeting... "Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the world away? #JustSendItToME #LoveNotWar" then taking to her Instagram account with a picture of the cake branded with the caption "#EatMyShit #Hypocrisy" Clearly on a rampage, Kelly further tweeted "StefaniStopIt!. You are so far behind you think you are first! I live for a Cause not for the #Applause!!!!!" A little bit harsh? Do you agree?

Nonetheless while Kelly expressed her dislike for Gaga, Gaga replied, tweeting "I didn't know it was your B-day until this afternoon. Meant as a peace offering. Happy Birthday." Never far behind 'Mother Monster' are her devoted and loyal fans, the 'Little Monsters' who then targeted Miss Osborne, however Lady Gaga abruptly put an end to the hateful messages being sent, tweeting "Monsters, please just focus on the positive of tonight's performance and do not send any hateful messages. I don't support it. #SpreadLove"

But, lets not let Kelly's tantrum distract us from the phenomenal performance Gaga put on in London last night. Once again she has shown a different side, reinforcing our beliefs of her undeniable talent! For those of you who didn't know, Gaga writes every single one of her own songs as well as songs for other beloved songstresses like Britney Spears. She also co-produces each song and album she releases, but with 'Venus' she produced the whole record. If that's not enough talent for you, she sings LIVE! - Yes I am Gaga bashing right now; regardless if you think she is different, focus on the music. That's the important thing!
