..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..
...the fact that people are discussing differences/contrasts is a great thing...
