Re: Last nights SHALLOW song with Gaga and Bradley

it seems to be the talk of the town right now and everyone feels that they should be an item.

 

I honestly dont think so just by watching the oscars. We've seen lots of singers performing together and in the heat of the moment there is lots of eye contact and the audience  is supposed to"feel" the chemistry. Thats part of performing together. They're both passionate people and its a very deep song that resonates with both of them and their hollywood lives. 

 

i think we might be speculating a bit but who knows. If he already has a woman in his life and he's doing that on purpose then thats a whole other issue. Or lady gaga is fishing for him which is not nice to do for either one of them. Did they forgot what happened to Bradgelina? Ya, karma is a huge B.

Re: Last nights SHALLOW song with Gaga and Bradley

Without a doubt they're both aware of all the buzz being made about them. Has either one of them addressed it and maybe said something like "oh please, we were simply giving the emotional performance the song deserves, nothing more nothing less, the gossip and innuendos are total bull". Or maybe they're both just loving all the publicity and drinking it in.

Re: Last nights SHALLOW song with Gaga and Bradley

This is hysterical.  I've only played the Oscar *performance* and Vegas Youtube videos on mute.

 

Watching them, I don't see anything.  At all.

 

She has a nice voice, very nice voice.  She is blessed.  But she makes the funniest faces when she sings.  It's comical.

 

After reading the post about what he's telling the media does sound much different though.  I do agree.

 

Not sure what Bradley is trying to say/do. 

 

The Oscar chance is over, maybe just to get more people into the theaters, more money in his pocket?

Lady Gaga had chemistry with Tony Bennett, too.  I never thought he'd leave his wife for Lady Gaga so I guess sometimes a song is just a song.  LOL

 

It's a beautiful song.


Tony Bennett is an old wrinkly man and  is no BRADLEY COOPER😍😍😍.  LOL!

Re: Last nights SHALLOW song with Gaga and Bradley

Their performance is surely all over the internet.  Someone is constantly posting somethnig about it.  I think their performance was spectacular and I do see the chemistry between them.  I really think they have a deep respect for one another and truly are just special friends.  They'll be friends for life.

 

She and the fiancee just broke up.  If Bradley ended up breaking up with his SO, I'd love it for them to be an item.   But I really think they're just best friends and extremely talented people.

Shallow’ at the Oscars: Cooper and Gaga ‘Meticulously’ Directed Their Performance

 

The two performers worked closely with Oscars director Glenn Weiss to pull off one of the most talked about moments of the 91st Academy Awards.

 

Indirewire.com  Feb. 26, 2019

 

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper

 

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga earned some of the biggest buzz at the Oscars for their powerhouse live performance of "Shallow", and it turns out that both performers were the masterminds behind the epic moment. Rob Mills, ABC’s senior VP of alternative series, specials, and late-night programming, tells Variety that Cooper and Gaga began “meticulously” planning their Oscars performance the minute “Shallow” received its Best Original Song nomination on January 22.

 

“Bradley and Gaga, they really had this idea in their head of how they wanted it to be,” Mills said. “And the producers really worked step-by-step with them to make…what they were envisioning a reality. This was staying true to the spirit of the movie as well. They really wanted to kind of embody everything that the characters in the movie stood for in this three-minute number.”

 

The live performance of “Shallow” at the Oscars was captured in a single take that never left the stage, which kept in the spirit of Cooper’s direction of “A Star Is Born.” The camera remained with the performers, showing Cooper from Gaga’s perspective when he was singing and Gaga from Cooper’s when she took to the piano for the second verse. The performance ended with both performers next to each other at the piano, the shot framing them in an extreme close-up. Unlike the other Best Original Song performances, “Shallow” did not receive an introduction, Cooper and Gaga simply took the stage from their seats. Mills said the plan was always to catch viewers off guard.

 

“Nobody knew where it was going to be in the show,” Mills said. “And the fact that it came right out of a speech gave it that element of surprise. Normally, if you’re in the house, you’re going to see that Bradley and Lady Gaga aren’t in their seat. The fact they actually went from their seats to the stage up there, that surprise was so great. Obviously, the song is engineered to be one that kind of crescendos to that kind of energy. It was just electric in the house.”

 

According to Mills, Oscars director Glenn Weiss did “meticulously work with Bradley on every element. They would walk through the whole thing and how it’s going to look and go. They really rehearsed the hell out of it, and they made it so it was just seamless. Even in rehearsal you knew, this was one of those things that’s going to be played in those montages of all-time Oscar moments.”

 

The choreography of the performance, including the moment Cooper grabs the microphone and stand and brings it around the back of the piano and sits next to Gaga, was finalized during rehearsals over the weekend.

 

“It was definitely something you could feel in the house,” Mills said of the reaction to the performance. “It came through on the screen, it was everywhere. There was real heat there.”

 

Following the performance, “Shallow” took home the Oscar for Best Original Song. The prize was awarded to the song’s writers: Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando, and Mark Ronson.

Re: Last nights SHALLOW song with Gaga and Bradley

Here's a posting by someone under the You Tube video:

 

The way those two look at eachother when they sing that song its like 2 souls becoming 1. Its not a romantic love it's something deeper than that. When they were singing the rest of the world stood frozen in silence it was nonexistent. Its magical when they sing that song together. They put their hearts n souls in that song. Wow......just WOW

@feline groovy 

 

I'm so grateful you posted that.  I think too many people forget that for them, this is a job and your post highlights that so well.  I'm very impressed that Bradley Cooper directed it down to the camera angles, and the quality shows.

 

People who work in offices have affairs, people who work wherever have affairs, and some don't.  These people get paid to kiss and some get paid to go a lot further.  It's a job.

 

I couldn't memorize one page of dialogue let alone speak it with feeling while remembering where I'm supposed to be looking and moving to.

 

That said, down to the guy who sweeps the floor at the movie theater and the CS person at Comcast, films and tv shows are responsible for the employment of untold tens of thousands, maybe more.
