The GaGa was on American Idol last night in a non-live performance in which she supposedly profited $250,000USD. If those figures are true, did GaGa’s performance match that ridiculous price tag?

In a nutshell, no. All of what we’ve come to expect from the top notch performance artist was there; elaborate costumes, a detailed stage design, amusing choreography, live singing and an acoustic intro (it’s become her formula).

All of which we’ve just mentioned above was excellent but the most important thing was missing, her VITALITY. When “Alejandro” plays, the studio version, the bass is roaring and synths are grinding, the energy behind the music is simply proper. Last night on the other hand, it was obvious Lady GaGa needs to recooperate because the lady did in fact look tired. The excuse of saying “Alejandro” does not call for that type of energy is absurd because the amount of energy needed for that song is only a notch or two below “Bad Romance.”

Overall, the performance was decent but GaGa left her flame on low.
