Lady Gaga blew the Grammys away with her Bowie tribute
While the high-tech performance was praised by many viewers, others have accused Intel of exploiting the Bowie tribute for their own commercial gain.
Post performance, Gaga uploaded a couple of images to Twitter to capture her honorary Ziggy Stardust look; one picture featuring a split down the middle of her and the late rock legend side-by-side.
Beck also had a history of covering David Bowie’s songs throughout his career.
Still, Duncan might have seen something else that everyone didn’t notice through the visual effects and lights. Nile Rodgers, left, and Lady Gaga perform a tribute to David Bowie at the 58th annual Grammy Awards on Monday, Feb. 15, 2016, in Los Angeles.

Matt Sayles/Matt Sayles/Invision/AP There was at least one person who didn’t hide their poker face over Lady Gaga’s David Bowie tribute at the Grammys.
Gaga covered some of Bowie’s greatest hits during her medley performance, including “Changes”, “Let’s Dance”, “Heroes” and “Rebel Rebel”.
Rodgers, who served as the musical director for the performance, took to Twitter early this morning to address the people who have been critical of Gaga’s homage.
Gaga dyed her hair shock orange on the night to channel Bowie’s alter ego Ziggy Stardust on the red carpet and on stage. Gaga shared photos of the experience on her social media page and it seems she wanted a piece of him to truly attached to her during her performance. She is, and always has been, a huge fan of David Bowie, his music, and what he stood for. “She’s just super grateful she got to pay her respects by honoring him on such a special night”.
In 2008, in the liner notes of her album, “The Fame“, Gaga thanked David Bowie for inspiring her. A year later, she listed his single “Rebel Rebel” as one of her favorite pop songs of all time.
