Thoughts on Lady Gaga's Grammy Performance? http://bit.ly/bk82SW

Lady Gaga performed live at the 2010 Grammy Awards ceremony on January 31, 2010. Gaga performed "Poker Face" and then went on to sing a duet with Elton John. They sang a medley of Elton John's "Your Song" and Lady Gaga's ballad "Speechless." When she arrived on the red carpet, her outfit consisted of a custom-made Giorgio Armani Prive gown. It was sequined, surrounded with 'floating' loops and the skirt was higher in the front than it was in the back.⁶

Lady Gaga, known for her dance hits, theatrical stage performances and over-the-top fashions, walked away with a Grammy for Best Dance Recording for "Poker Face" and the Best Electronic Dance Album forThe Fame. She was nominated for Record of the Year, Album of the Year (for The Fame), Song of the Year (for Poker Face), Best Dance Recording and Best Electronic/Dance Album of the Year.⁷
