I was one of the survivors on that stage. Gaga was absolutely gracious and spent time hugging and chatting with all of us like the real, down-to-earth, thoughtful and amazing person she is. We encouraged each other to be strong and show the world what we were made of. We even got matching tattoos that week. Her team was equally awesome, her choreographer taught us the choreography to Telephone :)
I’d like to thank you for your strength. I don’t usually read through comments cause I always feel there is a lot of unneeded negativity. However, I am doing a project for a college course and decided to use this performance as my discussion. It shows a lot of resilience to present yourself as a beacon of hope and an image of strength and survival on such a widely viewed media platform. I am also a survivor of sexual abuse and to see men represented was very powerful. Again, thank you. Sending you my love and respect.
the first time I heard this (which I didn't know Gaga sang at that time) I immediately fell in love with it... Writings on the Wall did nothing like that (I am a huge Sam Smith fan as well but still)
Amelia Galindo it looses a bit of its power when you think about the fact she worked with R Kelly and publicly defended him. He rapes little girls and she defended him.
@@stirlingarcher7972 Never defended him though but okay, and she apologized for it, SO many people have worked with him, not all of which have gone to such extreme measures as to remove their song with him from streaming services.
mischuu a few years ago when they recorded that song together, “do what you want to my body”, she defended him against the kiddie sex charges he had faced by saying that both of them have had untrue things written about them. 2013 I believe? I’m not 100% sure of the year, whatever year that song came out
Women in the entertainment industry? Yeah, I was thinking about how this was 2 years before the metoo movement and of how many women are in that audience just silently agreeing and holding back rage tears to "keep it together" for the camera. I'd like to hope that if she performed that song at a Hollywood awards show today, the audience would lose their shit with applause and cheering.
He has nothing to do with the voting. Everyone who votes does so privately. They had no concerns about what would have happened if it had won. The winners for a number of years now have been pretty questionable.
@@gorio9176 Yes I'm looking forward to the movie. But I'm hoping more people will watch this and Kavanaugh will be denied a Seat on the Supreme Court# Believe the Abused.
I am terribly sorry to hear that that happened to you, and I sincerely hope that you overcame it and that your life had gotten better. It is my passion as well as my absolute calling to be an author of fiction stories. I have many ideas for stories that I am going to write in the future. I had recently come up with an idea for a story that I will write sometime. It is going to be a story about one of the biggest issues in this world, which is sexual assault. I have nothing but absolute sympathy for people who are and were victims of that terrible crime, and my heart goes out to them. As a female, I have never been a victim of that crime myself, which is exactly why I would like to hear from people who actually have been victims of that crime. I would like personal insights, which are basically clear perceptions, from people of how that crime has effected and impacted them, because it is going to be a huge and crucial part to my story. I would like to hear personally from people who have suffered that crime about the psychological effects and the aftermath that they had endured as well as how they overcame and rose above it. For anyone who would like to respond to me, instead of replying with a public comment, please leave me a private message. (If you do not want to share any information with me, because you do not want to relive that traumatic event in your life, then, that is perfectly understandable, and you do not have to.) You have my word that I will not share anything you tell me with anybody whatsoever. That is an absolute promise. :)
She was so woke that she did this two years before the #metoo movement. I still get choked up to know so many women, men, and children get abused physically, emotionally, and sexually everyday. It’s so hard to go through something like that and almost be surrounded by people who never went through it. This is the reason why I aspire to be a therapist because I want to understand and help people through such traumatic experiences. I love lady Gaga and this song is so pure it deserves a standing ovation every single time
I hope you're still seeking therapy, or using Psychiatry research to be more introspective (it's really amazing how it can heal others & ourselves ) ☼♡
I hate the fact that I'm just now seeing this performance. I always loved Gaga! She might be known for everything crazy that she does but her singing is very underrated. Her vocals are stronger than people think. She has a very nice voice and this performance is Beautiful as hell! ❤
I totally agree with you about her strong vocals! Once I got past those "costumes" and heard her voice I was truly impressed! She has pure vocals without all that "riffing" like all those other "cookie cutter" singers do.
@@TheRozberry Happened the same way for me, I always percived her as some girl in a pre-designed character and then this lady shows up in Oscars 2015 performing the tribute to Jukie Andrews and The Sound of Music and BAM! and then one year later this performance happens as well... Mind officially blown, the woman is an artist, and a profounfly humaine one, which makes her better
There's so much raw, unadulterated anger and pain in this performance and it's beautiful. I also want to thank Lady Gaga for including survivors of male sexual assault in this. I got chills all over
I have been disassociated since childhood and I never knew what happened to me in my teenage years, I even tought I the problem was me, now I know the reason.... :-( Disassociation is a way to cope...
She probably had to in order to make it through this song. As a singer and a survivor I have tried so many times to perform this and can never make it through.
You didn't deserve to go through something as harrowing and dehumanizing. I hope you've found healing and peace wherever you're in life and more importantly, that you deserve bliss and happiness.
Yeah. I agree. I’ve never been sexually abused. Or even physical. I suffer from a bunch of different mental illnesses. So I interpret this song with my own experiences with people who think they understand what I’m going through or what I’m feeling when they really don’t. I’ve been emotionally abused in a way before.
*I completely disagree. There's so many songs about emotional suffering and abuse, but this one specific is for sexual abuse, and it must stay that way, because there's literally no songs about this issue, and the purpose of the song was to shine a light on the matter. The people who went on stage are sexual abuse survivors, no one else.*
Your comment is so important. That people even DARE to make it about them is beyond my understanding. Like, Lady Gaga literally SCREAMS “till it happens to you, you don’t know how it feels!” Stop stealing SA survivors moment, theres millons of songs about being sad out there, pick one of them instead.
I agree that it's a very meaningful song, and I certainly don't have any authority to say to someone that they aren't allowed to find healing from this, or any other, song. Not to mention that I also fail to see where people feeling better from having heard the song is a bad thing. 🤷♂️
Lady Gaga. I lost my daughters. For the past 6 years I've cried, and cried... and cried. Thank you for singing my song. Sending broken love, from Melbourne Australia. Love you. X
I am so proud of this woman, to go through all that she went through. get stuck and be sexually assaulted and get pregnant. gaga I love you and I'm very proud to be a fan of her.
This is not Lady Gaga - this is Stefani! I bow down so deep as i can to show you my respect for what you stand for and not only showing up (a)social problems but also actively being engaged!!!! God bless you!!!
This is without a doubt, the most beautiful, powerful, performance by any female artist in the history of music. Her voice. Her everything. She is singing from experience, and from the heart. You can feel her pain. Now that's power.
I’m so glad she wrote this song to spread awareness. I was sexually assaulted by four different guys I dated four different times and this song makes me feel like I’m not the only one that has gone through this. Thank you Lady Gaga for writing this song and to all those survivors onstage hopefully we can start to heal together
I'm sorry for what you went through... for everything... you are so strong and brave. Sharing your story it takes a lot of courage. You deserve hapiness, you deserve to live without fear and pain, you deserve the best. I hope you are doing ok 💜.
I was diagnosed cancer. 😢people say I'm sorry u get better, they have no how feels the pain I go through 😢. Till they get it then they go through. . I cry all the time
I feel like this is the most powerful song ever written. It resonates with an issue that has been present in society since human civilization began. The term artist is used so lightly these days to describe an entertainer but Lady Gaga is truly the DaVinci of her industry, a pure genius and exeptional human being. Even though I have not suffered or experienced the pain of sexual assault or rape, I could feel the pain others have felt with every single note Gaga sang. Sadly she did not win the Oscar for the song but she did something much bigger that night and shined a light on an issue that should not exist.
I Just watched the superbowl performance...of Beyonce. And i could only think about this... This stunning, gorgeous, deeply sung, ode, to all survivors of.... Of all bad things, happend to you, and me. The sheer sinpelness of this still great performance, made me humble.... And although its un comparable, still..... Could nt say that from the overly luxoury show of Beyonce... Gaga, you rule! ❤❤❤ Thanks for this beautifull, heartfelt performance, Which makes me cry, each time again. Stay as you are... Please... ❤ Ans so much respect, for all of you, survivors!!! I'm not a survivor of abuse, but still strugling to survive a depression, after a lot! of other shit, in my live... Till it happens to you, you DONT know, how I feel....
You tell me: "It gets better, it gets better in time" You say I'll pull myself together, pull it together "You'll be fine" Tell me, what the hell do you know? What do you know? Tell me, how the hell could you know? How could you know? Til it happens to you, you don't know how it feels How it feels Til it happens to you, you won't know It won't be real No, it won't be real Won't know how it feels You tell me: "Hold your head up Hold your head up and be strong 'Cause when you fall, you gotta get up You gotta get up and move on" Tell me, how the hell can you talk? How can you talk? 'Cause until you walk where I walk It's just all talk Til it happens to you, you don't know how it feels How it feels Til it happens to you, you won't know It won't be real (how could you know?) No, it won't be real (how could you know?) Won't know how I feel Till your world burns and crashes Till you're at the end, the end of your rope Till you're standing in my shoes I don't wanna hear nothing from you, from you, from you 'Cause you don't know Til it happens to you, you don't know how I feel How I feel, how I feel Til it happens to you, you won't know It won't be real (how could you know?) No, it won't be real (how could you know?) Won't know how it feels Til it happens to you, happens to you, happens to you Happens to you, happens to you, happens to you (How could you know?) Til it happens to you, you won't know how I feel
How did this not win? I watched this live when it happened and cried I’m watching it now years later and crying my eyes out. So much emotion! Also Cate Winslet standing up and clapping 💖💖💖
Something happened to me 12 years ago & just last week 😔! This hit me hard! I’m in tears!! My Partner/family & close friends are keeping me going!! Lady gaga is so bloody powerful ❤️ xx
Lady Gaga's performance was so intensely emotional. So brave singing a song that spoke of her experience & it was so hard for her because at the beginning she was getting emotional but held it and delivered the song w/ umphh and I cried coz I felt that pain .
I was watching this Oscars with my mom and stepdad. Both my mother and I experienced sexual abuse, my mother repeatedly throughout her life. We all cried during this performance and all my mom could say was, “wow”.
This is why I hate the oscars. She deserved the win. This song is, in my opinion, not just a great song but one of the best songs ever written. It’s incredibly powerful and full of so much raw emotion.
Watching this now after everything that has happened has made me even more emotional. All of those actresses were crying bc they belonged to be on that stage.
Kent Dobbs no no, she ment the actresses and male actors in the audience that were used and abused throught out there careers by people they worked for or with. Unfortunately
That flawless octave jump will always give me chills! Not many would even dare attempt that during a live performance in one of the biggest platforms in the world.
As a child sexual abuse victim, this really gets me. The song and the emotions just reminds me to that moment at the hospital when i abused by a doctor. This is insane but makes me stronger.
I am survivor more than once. This song gets me everytime because it is true. You can't possibly know what it is like until you have gone through and pray you never experience it.
Thank you, Lady Gaga! It helps to know I'm not alone in this world! I was only seventeen when it happened to me. He was my first boyfriend. I said "no", but he did not respect me. I was raped. He said: "If you tell someone about this, then I'll kill you!" I am 49 years old today, but I still remember everything from that evening.
TW: SA. Have any other survivors watched this about 100 times on the anniversary or when something triggered them? I was assaulted in my sleep in family vacation by my aunts boyfriend. I was passed out from muscle relaxers because I have endometriosis which causes intense pain when Im on my menstrual cycle. I woke up to the attempt and managed to stop him from progressing further... but it haunts me every single day. Mostly how I was treated by the people around me who protected him after I came forward. I have been no contact with family that didn't support me and manipulated me into silence and now one is passing away, and I have to say my goodbyes, even though they never protected me or acknowledged my pain. I can't stop watching this. It wasn't our fault. We did the right thing by coming forward. Do not let them silence you. If you are reading this and you somehow understand what I am saying know you are not alone. We will make it through this. I see you.
I'm sorry for what you went through... you are so strong and brave. Sharing your story it takes a lot of courage. You deserve hapiness, you deserve to live without fear and pain, you deserve the best. I hope you are doing ok, if not try to remember that you are an amazing person, and you are worthy of love 💜.
Without a doubt one of the best performances of the Oscars. This woman has an amazing voice, she delivered an amazing message and she showed victims that they too can survive. This woman is incredible.
this has been one of the few performances ive watched in my entire life that actually moved me to tears. Gaga, you are truly a sensational human being and every single survivor in the world out there, you are not alone, you are strong, it is NOT your fault. that standing ovation was more deserved than anything.
I see humans Not humanity.... Gaga can define this quote, gaga is what i mean when i say human,alive,helpful. She was my inspiration since 9 yo, now I’m 15 i used to be bullied in school but lady gaga inspires me to ignore all of them, to be my self just the way i am! ❤️❤️
What makes me cry almost uncontrollably is when the survivors are slowly revealed and you just keep seeing more people. There shouldn't be that many people. There shouldn't be anyone.
This performance and song are so beautiful. I met Gaga after I drove my care into a telephone pole a month or so earlier. I broke my whole body crawled out of a fire coded out was amputated and then saved. She was so kind to me and I even in that state waited 8 hours in hot concrete for her b/c i knew she was planning a secret show in nashville to promote her album. She is magic and truly a martyr for sexual assault victims, women and gay men who have been abused. Love you Gaga
I am also a survivor since 10. At Knife point. Merci Madame, thanks for your openness and using art to show-off, coming out, and make this cause truly visible, maybe shocking some, but it's here, it's still here...
yep - all that and then give it to a mediocre song from a mediocre movie to a guy who then has the audacity to say he's the first gay person to win an oscar
I crie😢everyday since I was diagnosed with cancer. Listing to song helps get through the pain . The song shows people we go through a lot . We all go through things
I was one of the survivors on that stage. Gaga was absolutely gracious and spent time hugging and chatting with all of us like the real, down-to-earth, thoughtful and amazing person she is.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing that.

It shows a lot of resilience to present yourself as a beacon of hope and an image of strength and survival on such a widely viewed media platform.
I am also a survivor of sexual abuse and to see men represented was very powerful.
Again, thank you. Sending you my love and respect.
Thank you so much for sharing something so personal with the world.
Thank you for your courage!
Thanks u for sharing that
One of the dumbest decision the academy made that year was choosing writings on the wall as best song. I was so mad when she didn’t get it.
yes...
Me too
And now shallow for sure
the first time I heard this (which I didn't know Gaga sang at that time) I immediately fell in love with it...
Writings on the Wall did nothing like that (I am a huge Sam Smith fan as well but still)
Seedge Mercado exactly writings on the wall is a great song but this one is miles better
Still the most powerful Oscars performance ever. 😭😭😭
Amelia Galindo it looses a bit of its power when you think about the fact she worked with R Kelly and publicly defended him. He rapes little girls and she defended him.
@@stirlingarcher7972 Never defended him though but okay, and she apologized for it, SO many people have worked with him, not all of which have gone to such extreme measures as to remove their song with him from streaming services.
Sterling Archer she took that song off streaming and you can’t buy that version.
Stirling Archer she never defended him you liar
2021 and still
oh my god. You can tell she tapped into her bad memories to show the raw emotion when singing.
Jason Dean Dulier Jr. You're right. I think you cant sing a song this passionately if you havent been through something at least close to this
I think she was crying
@Han Kin it really did it hurts so bad :(
She even dissociated at one point 💔
@Hanz Kins I have that now
so I should watch but my heart 😭😭
That standing ovation though....
Still mad that another James Bond song won over this
Writings on the wall is one of the worst Bond theme songs. It didn't even sound like it was for a Bond movie.
Rude, that song was amazing. Better than the actual movie
what am i Gaga worked with R Kelly and defended him even though he rapes little girls.
Sterling Archer when did Gaga defend R. Kelly

Ok Oscars. This year Gaga is coming for both Best Original song and Best Actress .... Just don't make the same mistake again...
pheba100 Yes please. She deserved that oscar!! 😭
PREACH 👏 They did her so dirty.
And best soundtrack
Best Original song yes,best actress I don't think so Olivia in the favorite should win that Oscar.
Moo Abdzar she didn’t write this song, that’s why she didn’t win the Oscar
I’m so happy that she included guys and trans people in this. It shows that she really recognizes not only her struggles but everyone else’s has well.
She’s so amazing

That is the same thing that I was thinking, no one I REPEAT NO ONE deserves that.
@@domi1937 Liberals? wtf? You do realize Lady Gaga is a liberal right?
No one gets left befind.
There's a sad irony of Gaga singing this in front of one of the worlds most sexually abused/assaulted/ objectified group of people.

Yeah, I was thinking about how this was 2 years before the metoo movement and of how many women are in that audience just silently agreeing and holding back rage tears to "keep it together" for the camera.

The Academy voters must have felt ashamed for their decision after watching THIS
this was before Harvey Weinstein was exposed.. he was in the Academy and most likely in that audience. It's no wonder she didn't win that Oscar.
He has nothing to do with the voting. Everyone who votes does so privately. They had no concerns about what would have happened if it had won. The winners for a number of years now have been pretty questionable.

So I interpret this song with my own experiences with people who think they understand what I’m going through or what I’m feeling when they really don’t. I’ve been emotionally abused in a way before.
It can but Warren and Gaga wrote it specifically for a film called The Hunting Ground that exposes the massive issue of on campus rape in the U.S.

To hear her shaking voice, see all the survivors, see the whole crowd be touched. Gaga is a powerhouse of woman, such an icon!
Her Oscar performances keeps getting taken down, they need to upload a legit version on Gaga’s Vevo channel.
Same thing with the Sound Of Music tribute ☹
3:04 I just wanna hug her. God, it made me cry so hard seeing her like that.
This is before “me too”... kinda makes you wonder why the academy wouldn’t want to choose a song with this message, right?

Well, it was and will always be relevant
Or maybe the meet too movement was two years late

I was diagnosed cancer. 😢people say I'm sorry u get better, they have no how feels the pain I go through 😢. Till they get it then they go through. . I cry all the time
Im so sorry ❤sending love
Thank u I'm learning to deal with it. My brother is helping me get my bucket l8st done I'm getting everything I always wanted to do
I feel like this is the most powerful song ever written. It resonates with an issue that has been present in society since human civilization began. The term artist is used so lightly these days to describe an entertainer but Lady Gaga is truly the DaVinci of her industry, a pure genius and exeptional human being. Even though I have not suffered or experienced the pain of sexual assault or rape, I could feel the pain others have felt with every single note Gaga sang. Sadly she did not win the Oscar for the song but she did something much bigger that night and shined a light on an issue that should not exist.
This performance is seriously underrated. I think it’s even better than her Sound of Music tribute
I Just watched the superbowl performance...of Beyonce.
And i could only think about this...
This stunning, gorgeous, deeply sung, ode, to all survivors of....
Of all bad things, happend to you, and me.
The sheer sinpelness of this still great performance, made me humble....
And although its un comparable, still.....
Could nt say that from the overly luxoury show of Beyonce...
Gaga, you rule! ❤❤❤
Thanks for this beautifull, heartfelt performance, Which makes me cry, each time again.
Stay as you are... Please... ❤
Ans so much respect, for all of you, survivors!!!
I'm not a survivor of abuse, but still strugling to survive a depression, after a lot! of other shit, in my live...
Till it happens to you, you DONT know, how I feel....
1:59 omg she should win an Oscar just for this incredible vocal
This is why she's a real icon
Actually gaga should have two academy awards one for shallow and one for this gem of a song'Till it happens to you'
You tell me: "It gets better, it gets better in time"
You say I'll pull myself together, pull it together
"You'll be fine"
Tell me, what the hell do you know?
What do you know?
Tell me, how the hell could you know?
How could you know?
Til it happens to you, you don't know how it feels
How it feels
Til it happens to you, you won't know
It won't be real
No, it won't be real
Won't know how it feels
You tell me: "Hold your head up
Hold your head up and be strong
'Cause when you fall, you gotta get up
You gotta get up and move on"
Tell me, how the hell can you talk?
How can you talk?
'Cause until you walk where I walk
It's just all talk
Til it happens to you, you don't know how it feels
How it feels
Til it happens to you, you won't know
It won't be real (how could you know?)
No, it won't be real (how could you know?)
Won't know how I feel
Till your world burns and crashes
Till you're at the end, the end of your rope
Till you're standing in my shoes
I don't wanna hear nothing from you, from you, from you
'Cause you don't know
Til it happens to you, you don't know how I feel
How I feel, how I feel
Til it happens to you, you won't know
It won't be real (how could you know?)
No, it won't be real (how could you know?)
Won't know how it feels
Til it happens to you, happens to you, happens to you
Happens to you, happens to you, happens to you
(How could you know?)
Til it happens to you, you won't know how I feel
That song has a powerful meaning
How did this not win? I watched this live when it happened and cried I’m watching it now years later and crying my eyes out. So much emotion! Also Cate Winslet standing up and clapping 💖💖💖
Something happened to me 12 years ago & just last week 😔! This hit me hard! I’m in tears!! My Partner/family & close friends are keeping me going!! Lady gaga is so bloody powerful ❤️ xx
We already know she deserved win an Óscar for this performance too
The best musical performance in the entire history of the Oscars. Definitely.
Let’s just take a notice how she brilliantly points at the audience.. cause that audience is full of predators hidden behind movies and labels.
She is coming for her Oscar in 2019 with A Star Is Born ❤
I guess you were right🤩😘
Lady Gaga's performance was so intensely emotional. So brave singing a song that spoke of her experience & it was so hard for her because at the beginning she was getting emotional but held it and delivered the song w/ umphh and I cried coz I felt that pain .
She actually looks angry and broken. I love her!
This song must be so challenging to sing live, it's so deep and hard to process. She is so brave...
4 minutes of mind-blowing artistic and moral truth. A truly historic performance.
I still remember when gaga experienced the same as those brave woman 😢❤️🩹
I was watching this Oscars with my mom and stepdad. Both my mother and I experienced sexual abuse, my mother repeatedly throughout her life. We all cried during this performance and all my mom could say was, “wow”.
You both are so strong and brave 💜.
She deserved the Oscar for this song so much compared to Sam Smith and it’s such a shame
This is why I hate the oscars. She deserved the win. This song is, in my opinion, not just a great song but one of the best songs ever written.
It’s incredibly powerful and full of so much raw emotion.
Watching this now after everything that has happened has made me even more emotional. All of those actresses were crying bc they belonged to be on that stage.
Kent Dobbs no no, she ment the actresses and male actors in the audience that were used and abused throught out there careers by people they worked for or with. Unfortunately
I have no idea how she managed to hold it together - this performance is so powerful. 😭😭😭
That flawless octave jump will always give me chills! Not many would even dare attempt that during a live performance in one of the biggest platforms in the world.
She’s incredible omg
What is an octave jump? Which min did she do that?
Gaga is now one of my favorites, she inspires a lot, shes a great story teller and lifts up the life of me
This is one of those performances that will live forever.
I will NEVER know how this didn't win best song.
As a child sexual abuse victim, this really gets me. The song and the emotions just reminds me to that moment at the hospital when i abused by a doctor. This is insane but makes me stronger.
As a survivor this gets to me!
People who are survivors are stronger than they think! ❤️
crying my eye's out with this one after watching her interview.. i can't process how brave she was
I am survivor more than once. This song gets me everytime because it is true. You can't possibly know what it is like until you have gone through and pray you never experience it.
Thank you, Lady Gaga! It helps to know I'm not alone in this world! I was only seventeen when it happened to me. He was my first boyfriend. I said "no", but he did not respect me. I was raped. He said: "If you tell someone about this, then I'll kill you!" I am 49 years old today, but I still remember everything from that evening.
you are a beautiful and powerful soul.
Awful pain..awful. EMDR can help you
And this is the moment when you see every member of the academy go "F*ck we voted on the wrong nominee"
TW: SA. Have any other survivors watched this about 100 times on the anniversary or when something triggered them? I was assaulted in my sleep in family vacation by my aunts boyfriend. I was passed out from muscle relaxers because I have endometriosis which causes intense pain when Im on my menstrual cycle. I woke up to the attempt and managed to stop him from progressing further... but it haunts me every single day. Mostly how I was treated by the people around me who protected him after I came forward. I have been no contact with family that didn't support me and manipulated me into silence and now one is passing away, and I have to say my goodbyes, even though they never protected me or acknowledged my pain. I can't stop watching this. It wasn't our fault. We did the right thing by coming forward. Do not let them silence you. If you are reading this and you somehow understand what I am saying know you are not alone. We will make it through this. I see you.
I'm sorry for what you went through... you are so strong and brave. Sharing your story it takes a lot of courage. You deserve hapiness, you deserve to live without fear and pain, you deserve the best. I hope you are doing ok, if not try to remember that you are an amazing person, and you are worthy of love 💜.
watching this now, really hurts...
God Job Gaga! You've always been misunderstood. I think people finally understood who you really are
Molestation, and multiple rape survivor.. now suffering ptsd, panic disorder and agoraphobia... finally a song that says what I wish I could.
she was so so great for this. so beautiful.
Without a doubt one of the best performances of the Oscars. This woman has an amazing voice, she delivered an amazing message and she showed victims that they too can survive. This woman is incredible.
and you’re gonna tell me she didn’t win the Oscar for this song. mKAY
this has been one of the few performances ive watched in my entire life that actually moved me to tears. Gaga, you are truly a sensational human being and every single survivor in the world out there, you are not alone, you are strong, it is NOT your fault. that standing ovation was more deserved than anything.
I see humans
Not humanity....
Gaga can define this quote, gaga is what i mean when i say human,alive,helpful. She was my inspiration since 9 yo, now I’m 15 i used to be bullied in school but lady gaga inspires me to ignore all of them, to be my self just the way i am! ❤️❤️
What makes me cry almost uncontrollably is when the survivors are slowly revealed and you just keep seeing more people. There shouldn't be that many people. There shouldn't be anyone.
Wowwww!!! Best performance ever at The Oscars!!!
I made it 1 million views, and I’ve probably watched this performance more than 90 times.
This performance and song are so beautiful. I met Gaga after I drove my care into a telephone pole a month or so earlier. I broke my whole body crawled out of a fire coded out was amputated and then saved. She was so kind to me and I even in that state waited 8 hours in hot concrete for her b/c i knew she was planning a secret show in nashville to promote her album. She is magic and truly a martyr for sexual assault victims, women and gay men who have been abused. Love you Gaga
This is so touching. ❤ Would you mind sharing anything she said to you?
I am also a survivor since 10. At Knife point.
Merci Madame, thanks for your openness and using art to show-off, coming out, and make this cause truly visible, maybe shocking some, but it's here, it's still here...
you ever wanna ball your eyes out? watch this at 1:30am
hannahrose 1:08Am is also quite effective lol 😢
I cry everytime. I love u gaga
I remember when I first saw this when it was live. I cried so hard
Lady Gaga is truly a powerful woman and so is this song a powerful one.
And then they gave the Oscar to Sam Smith lol
Omg that year the Academy made a mess💀
yep - all that and then give it to a mediocre song from a mediocre movie to a guy who then has the audacity to say he's the first gay person to win an oscar
Clyde Thangkhiew don’t even get me started she was robbed praying was amazing
yup and that was the last time I watched the Oscars right there cause if that decision
I crie😢everyday since I was diagnosed with cancer. Listing to song helps get through the pain . The song shows people we go through a lot . We all go through things
I'm so sorry ❤
Hope you are healing
