Lorde Von Kok PronounsHe/Him Gaming Leader 8,440 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) ... Gaga was the only artist to perform with a mask? From all the performances (which was very few compared to previous years) that we had during the pandemic, I can only recall Lady Gaga's VMAs where everybody was wearing a mask, including the artist. I keep seeing these performances where only back-up dancers and back-up singers are wearing it, yet, I feel like the point is to make it a focus. She even wore them to accept her awards, and made it fashionable. I'm lowkey disappointed in other artists that didn't do the same, or didn't even cared. What do you guys think?

gagaschickens ARTPOPster 1,583 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 wearing masks is a kindness act to those around you, so of course gaga wore one. even though the dancers and gaga herself obviously got covid tested previously, i think its pretty great how they're all wearing masks, like they're encouraging others to do the same. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle For Your Life Pronounshe/him RIP Angel 1,992 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I hated the fact that she was criticized for it. People (including other Little Monsters) really chose to forget that we were in the middle of a pandemic just so they can hate on her. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotDoctor PronounsHe/they Popster to Popster 4,584 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I still love so much that she took time out of her speeches to implore people to help protect one another.

Who criticised it, the media loved it and it was the headline of the night People accused her of using a mask just so she could "lip-sync" and were saying the mask hindered her from singing well. There was a whole debate around the mask whether it had a bult in mic on or not. Seriously, people were talking about her not singing live, meanwhile, the other artists who performed that night (besides The Weeknd) were actually the ones that lipsynced.

danwasd Pronounsthey/them A Popster Is Born 15,993 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Let's not forget that the performance mask had a huge hole in order to allow her to sing live But, yeah, it's clear that here the important thing was the projected image, as it's clear that they all had their tests done for sure 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GitHub Pronounsshe/her Popster to Popster 3,752 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I do think it's nice that Gaga chose to portray that image. Spoiler some of the masks she was wearing wouldn't be very effective in real life though if we're being honest 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvira ARTPOPster 1,279 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 As a few have already said, although some of them probably wouldn’t be effective, it still was an important, kind and smart move of awareness for the pandemic situation at the moment. Who knows how many selfish people, specially gays that are basically the biggest part of her fanbase, changed their minds and started using it after that? So that’s that! You go, Gaga! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
