Which David Bowie tribute did you prefer?
 

Lorde for me, so much better and well produced unlike the mess which was gags performance

The Brits (but not Gary Oldman)


Gags would have been great if it wasn't for Intel, it came of a tad distasteful

I think Gaga's could have been amazing if Intel didn't get involved, but tonight's was very respectful and classy.

Lorde without a doubt

Lorde, everything about it was perfect

I hate lourde

But omg

Wow

bullying smithy?

Lorde

It just came across as much more of a respectful performance done to pay tribute.

Lady Gaga sort of made the Grammy performance about her imo

I'm watching again now

I haven't seen either but from the sounds of it I'm gonna need to watch this Lorde performance!

I respect Gaga for trying but it was just a really bad idea to do a medley of songs whilst dressed as Elvis.

Lorde's was cool and the speech before it :clap1:

Lorde, the rock legend.

Lorde was amazing, I really didn't think that she would be that good live so well done to her.

I'm amazed that she won on here though knowing how Gaga is strongly stanned.:laugh:

..I missed it, I need to find somewhere to watch the whole thing and in good quality...even without seeing it though I would expect and hope that The Brits would do an outstanding tribute because you know, he was our British guy..*cues Shaun playing the National Anthem on harmonica in the background..*....and for a long time through his career/music...he was not really well known in the USA...he was an incredible British talent...anyway, I'm not going to compare the two performances because everything Bowie stood for was individual artists expressing and interpreting in their own individual way, which GaGa did and I have a feeling that he would have loved what she did because she did it her way, just as he always did himself and with the flamboyance typical to her and that old man loved flamboyance in any form...she could have dressed as a pink bunny and used every stage graphic technology known to mankind and my thoughts are, that he would have totally approved and felt honoured by her tribute because it represented the very same thing that he did and what he believed in, in expressing individual heart and soul, with music and the genius talent that people are blessed with...so YAY GaGa also, for me..:lovedup:...the fact that people are discussing differences/contrasts is a great thing...

I preferred the simplicity for Lorde's tribute. I can see what Gaga was trying to do but it ultimately felt like it was all about her and not David Bowie.

Gaga's tribute was very odd, and whilst I usually like that about her, it just didn't feel right. And it didn't feel like a tribute. And the Intell promo was uncomfortable, it made it more about "look at how we did this performance aren't we great", rather than "look at David Bowie wasn't he great" which should have been the point, Gaga's and Intel's personal gain shouldn't have factored into it.

The Lorde tribute was, well, a real tribute. It was magnificent :lovedup: It made me think about Bowie and how amazing he was and how much I love his music. I loved it. And Gary Oldman's speech :love:

Lorde

thats one pretty decisive poll

:o Has there ever been such a decisive poll on tibb?

if we get to 30 Smithy must de-register

:clap2:

Lorde but Gags was still good

Lorde for me

thats us at 30

smithy now must de-register and go and join DS

:omgno:

Close the Poll quick!

Having watched both, I prefered Lorde's... Her voice was weirdly sexy during it.

...having seen the BRITS tribute now, I like them both probably equally the same..:laugh:..just because I think they're bot relevant to Bowie as a musical artist and performer...if I was to pick a favourite bit of both full tributes, it would be Gary Oldman and his words of a friend and of knowing the man...I'm not sure that any tribute could capture who he was completely or do full justice to him as it were because for me, his 'artist' was so much his own journey and steps through his own life..he was the man who sold the world, he was Ziigy Stardust, he was Aladdin Sane, he was the Thin White Duke and The Man Who Fell to Earth and etc, all real life phases I think..and then through his phases he became with his final phase, a man facing his death with the death of Major Tom ..and phases that we all go through in our lives, only we don't have the genius of his talent and gift to express in the same way....he wasn't for me, an artist who 're-invented' as a performer, he was an artist who took a hand and walked through phases of life that we all recognise and know/he understood...

yeah I'd pick Gary's speech too :love:
