Lady Gaga was responsible for the big surprise at the Oscars 2023. The singer’s participation in the award was not confirmed, due to the filming of the sequel to “Joker”. She wouldn’t have had time to rehearse her song, “Hold My Hand,” from the “Top Gun: Maverick” soundtrack, which is in the running for an Oscar for best original song.
Still, she appeared on stage, no introduction, wearing a black T-shirt and ripped jeans, and with a face as clean as someone who had just splashed water on her makeup. Sitting on a stool, she gave a short speech about the importance of being your own hero. And accompanied first only by the piano, and then by guitar, bass and drums, she gave an intimate presentation, straight to the point, which was striking for her simplicity, but above all for the artist’s vocal power, which she called to itself all cameras.
Without the distraction of choreography, orchestral arrangements, fancy lighting, and special stage sets (the backdrop was black and the light was just basic stage lighting), Lady Gaga made it clear that this was an impromptu performance, and that made it even more evident is his raw talent. .
At the end, there was still a tribute to Tony Scott, the late director of the first “Top Gun”, which helped to excite the audience of stars present at the Dolby Theater.
It received a standing ovation from Hollywood.
