Gaga isn’t weird…she’s just plain old shit

As the world’s fashion critics anxiously anticipated Lady Gaga’s appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards tonight, nobody was prepared for what was about to unfold.

The ever-eccentric and provocative star surprised the audience with a drag performance, sporting an unkempt outfit consisting of a white T-shirt, black trousers, and a black Danny Zucco-style wig, complemented by makeup that emphasized her masculine traits.

The quirky character, dubbed Joe Calderone by Gaga, remained with her throughout the evening, presenting Britney Spears with her lifetime achievement award and even accepting an award ‘on behalf of Gaga.’

A noteworthy detail is that the character has his own Twitter account, which boasts over 36,000 followers.

During her performance, Gaga brought out rock legend Brian May, the lead guitarist of Queen, to join her on stage.

She proceeded to show off her dance skills alongside male dancers who all mirrored her attire.

The most captivating performance of the evening was from British sensation Adele, who was nominated for Video Of The Year.

The soulful artist garnered a standing ovation both before and after her rendition of “Someone Like You,” accompanied solely by a spotlight and a piano.

This mesmerizing song had the entire audience swaying, demonstrating that Adele is unquestionably back at her finest just months after having to cancel her American tour due to a bout of laryngitis.

Transitioning from a slow to a fast-paced atmosphere, Kanye West and Jay-Z then energized the stage with their performance of “Otis” from their chart-topping album “Watch The Throne.”

The duo encountered an unexpected interruption when an overzealous fan rushed the stage mid-performance.

Unperturbed, they continued without missing a beat as security swiftly removed the individual from the scene.

Beyonce, Jay’s wife, watched from the front row before stepping onto the stage herself.

The radiant singer captivated the crowd in a sparkling purple sequined tuxedo jacket, which she dramatically tore open at the conclusion of her performance to reveal and affectionately rub her growing baby bump.

The cameras then captured Jay-Z beaming while his friend Kanye bounced with excitement, playfully striking the father-to-be on the back.

The singer did not allow her pregnancy to hinder her vibrant performance.

Wild rapper Lil Wayne exuded energy as he animatedly bounced around the stage during his performance of “How To Love,” though he faced significant censorship from the TV Network during the broadcast for his frequent use of profanity while engaging the crowd.

In another noteworthy moment, Chris Brown made his official return to the MTV stage, performing for the first time since pleading guilty to assaulting Rhianna in 2009.

The R&B artist captivated the audience, soaring above them on wires and showcasing impressive dance moves during a multi-song set that featured a cover of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

In a touching tribute to Amy Winehouse, her friend Russell Brand introduced what is believed to be the last known official footage of the star before her recent passing.

Reflecting on his first encounter with the singer, he remarked: ‘As I entered the arena, I spotted Amy Winehouse,The extraordinary voice emanating from the eccentric individual is truly remarkable.

‘When a talent like Amy Winehouse emerges, it influences everyone.’

In the recorded clip, filmed just weeks prior to her death on July 23, Tony Bennett is shown performing alongside the star for his upcoming duets album.

Reflecting on his experience, he stated, ‘I visited Abbey Studios in London and recorded with Amy Winehouse, and she was nothing short of extraordinary because, among all the young artists I’ve encountered in the past two decades, she embodied a true jazz artist in the lineage of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.’

‘She possessed the gift. To be a jazz singer isn’t enough; you either have it or you don’t. And Amy is undoubtedly a true jazz artist.’
Later, singer Bruno Mars took the stage to deliver a heartfelt and appropriate tribute to the late artist by performing his own version of her beloved song Valerie.
