Great.
She will butcher reality, the Anthem, and decency.

Lady DooDoo is definitely a sleazy scumbag that I wouldn’t shake hands with without wearing rubber gloves and a dose of penicillin, but she is a pretty good singer.

but she is a pretty good singer.

Will she sing it straight, or turn it into an exercise in pointless vocal gymnastics?

If it is the Lady Gaga persona that she uses when she does standards with Tony Bennett or covers the sound of music at the Oscars I have no problem with this

I heard her sing it once before and it was lovely. She really surprised me. And she was dressed nicely, not in one of her costumes. I think most will be surprised at just h0w good a singer she really is.

At the rate they’re going, by Superbowl LX, they will have completely eliminated the football game, and just have a concert with commercials.

I guess that’s the question. I’m no GaGa fan but if you listen to her acoustic videos when it’s just the piano and her, you realize she’s an accomplished pianist and has a great voice.

For example:

She is classically trained, but realized at a performance at a small venue that the Lady Gaga persona sold tickets. If you look beyond the costuming and pizazz the music is good and she is a very accomplished singer.

Same with others. Pitbull, who is a pop-rapper, is quite an accomplished singer in his own right. However, he has found that the ‘Pitbull’ persona sells a lot more tickets and song downloads.

Roseanne Barr startled America by scratching her crotch while singing the anthem, but will this be the first time that someone actually shows her crotch?

Better have plenty of eye bleach on hand. Definitely will want to mute the sound.

The pop “music” industry hasn’t been about music for a long time. They sell sex, lewdness, and degenerate lifestyles to the feral, unparented youth out there.

Some of them have talent, but rather than use it they sell what Hollywood finds easier to market.

Real musicians don’t need to openly exhibit moral turpitude, and their art is so much better.
