Oscar producers on Lady Gaga’s last-minute performance: ‘She doesn’t need much more with a voice like that’

The Oscar gala has left us exciting and surprising moments, but undoubtedly one of the most notable is Lady Gaga’s minimalistic performance, which was prepared at the last minute. A show that has attracted attention for the simplicity of the staging and for its way of moving the audience.

Lady Gaga was nominated in the Best Original Song category with her song “Hold my Hand”, from “Top Gun: Maverick”. Days before the gala, the singer reported it could not attend because he did not have time to combine the shooting of his next film, ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’, with the award ceremony. But, as we have seen, in the end he not only managed to attend the gala, but he was also able to act.

As the gala’s producers reported to The Hollywood Reporter, Gaga informed them of the change on Thursday: “She really wanted to do something. It’s true she was doing her own film, there were no stunts involved. Thursday at four-something we got a text from her saying she wanted to try something, she didn’t have time to put on a big performance, but I wanted something pure and for people to see the real Gaga And, with a voice like that, you don’t need much else.” said Ricky Kirshner, adding that they get carried away with the production “performances for those who are there and for the people we work with”.

The producers have also emphasized that their mentality it might be “different to come from the world of televisionbut things change all the time and Gaga is an example of that.” At the end Kirshner said: “Sometimes we anticipate the performance of certain people who ultimately don’t come. Suddenly, someone who wasn’t available is at the last moment. Our way of working is be flexible and adapt to create the performance we wanthopefully with the best names, but it doesn’t matter who’s there.”.
