Lady Gaga Grammy Debacle Continues As Criticism Spreads And Family Of Natalie Cole Slam Snub

Lady Gaga as David Bowie

The Grammys are still being slammed over their telecast this past Sunday that suffered the lowest rating in 7-years. I did not watch the show (I'm boycotting them over giving copyright infringing artists Grammys), but I have read articles on the telecast and seen a clip on Twitter of Lady GaGa's tribute to the late music legend David Bowie. 

Lady Gaga as David Bowie

Lady GaGa can sing, but it would have been better had she not tried to dress like Bowie and franticly moved around the stage like an escaped mental patient. Bowie's performances were not like that. GaGa looked clumsy trying to be Bowie and the make up was amateurish and symmetrically uneven. They did not correctly recreate his look. Bowie simply didn't look that way.

The Grammy committee could have allowed Gaga to do ONE song not EIGHT, which led to other tributes being scrapped. They could have also invited Bowie's friends Mick Jagger and Grace Jones to America from England to do a tribute, as they knew him and are apart of that time in music, having lived it with him during their respective hay days. The Gaga tribute was very misguided and strange to the point it even offended Bowie's son.

The family of the late music legend, Natalie Cole, has slammed the Grammy committee for omitting a tribute to the singer who died last December. As stated in previous articles, I am not of the belief the snub was racially related, as the Grammys have given many awards to minorities over the years. 

David Bowie

I remember when I was a kid Cole dominated a Grammy telecast with the song "Unforgettable" winning multiple awards for her moving duet with her deceased dad, Nat King Cole. However, the Grammys scrapped a musical tribute to Cole and others because Gaga's overindulgent 7-minute set to Bowie that audiences deemed a big commercial for her sponsor Intel, took over the show.

 Gaga's set should have been shorter. As stated in the column on Monday, February 15, 2016, prior to the Grammys' airing "Even 30-seconds of a top song by each such as Cole'a 'Unforgettable' White's 'September' or 'After The Love Is Gone' Bowie's 'Let's Dance' and 'You Belong To The City' by Frey from the Miami Vice soundtrack." (Grammy Awards Slammed As Racist Over Excluding Black Stars From The Posthumous Musical Tribute Segment Of The Show)."

Natalie Cole won 9 Grammys in her career and received 21 nominations

No one would have been offended at such a montage and performance sequence. If they had closed out the tribute section with "After The Love Is Gone" people would have been tearful, due to the song's lyrics and tone indicating a goodbye (which audiences would be saying goodbye to the stars who had passed away). 

It should be noted, the Grammys reversed their position on Maurice White, as articles reveal a musical tribute to him was added and he was awarded a posthumous lifetime achievement award. However, no musical tribute was added for Cole and they really could have shaved some of GaGa's time to do so.

Natalie Cole's family 'outraged' over Grammy snub 

 

Wednesday 17 February 2016 04.20 EST Last modified on Wednesday 17 February 2016 04.24 EST - Natalie Cole’s family have shared their disappointment following the “disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof” for the late singer at the Grammy awards this week. While Cole, who died on 31 December, was acknowledged during a short “in memoriam” montage to artists who died in the previous year, members of her family have said she deserved a longer homage. 

Cole’s sisters Timolin and Casey, told ET Online: “Words cannot express the outrage and utter disappointment at the disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof, to a legendary artist such as our sister.” “Here is a woman who has been in the business for four decades, had 21 Grammy nominations and won nine Grammys,” the singer’s son, Robert Adam Yancy, said. “She deserves more than [to be a part of] a minute-and-a-half tribute.” Yancy called the Grammy’s brief tribute “shameless”, in light of individual performances during the ceremony that were dedicated to David Bowie, the Eagles’ Glenn Frey and BB King...

In the February 15, 2016 article "Grammy Awards Slammed As Racist Over Excluding Black Stars From The Posthumous Musical Tribute Segment Of The Show" which was posted to the site several hours before the telecast, I stated, "I wouldn't particularly call the Grammys racist. The Grammy awards committee has given many awards to minorities who are black, Hispanic and Asian...I do not think the Grammys are racist, but something else is going on regarding the snub, that probably falls under the category of some other music industry politics and foolishness. Let me guess, some spoiled brat of a modern star wants to indulge in a long performance to promote some new, nonsensical song and album that isn't even original, so the tribute section has been shaved down. Do the new cultists running the Grammys know so little about music that they failed to realize what Cole and White have done in entertainment history."

It turns out the culprit was Kabbalah Center cultist Lady Gaga. According to reports, Lady Gaga sang EIGHT David Bowie songs in a tribute to the late star. So it was what I suspected. It wasn't about racism. It was about an indulgent modern star using the show to promote their latest project causing the tribute section to be cut down at other artists' expense. 

David Bowie's son slams Gaga's tribute to his dad

Gaga was slammed on social networking for using Bowie to promote herself and a new sponsorship deal she has with Intel. The Judiciary Report has nothing against Intel. Cross promotional deals are made all the time, but considering so many stars have died, Gaga's set should have been shorter. Bowie's son, David Jones, was also not amused with Gaga using the tribute to promote her endorsement deal.

Tweets slamming Lady Gaga exploiting David Bowie

As stated on February 15, 2016, I would not be watching the Grammys and I did not. Apparently, many other people did not either, as the show hit a 7-year ratings low. The music industry is in chaos. Unprofessional, mentally unbalanced people are running it and not producing quality, original material. The standard of excellence has dramatically fallen. Audiences today are being cheated out of a full musical experience coming from sensible musicians, who know their craft and what is acceptable conduct. So many artists are trying to out crazy each other and compete for the title of most vulgar.

David Bowie's son calls out Lady Gaga after Grammys

Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, took to social media on Monday night to blast the singer’s performance, which featured 10 of his father’s most famous songs, with a cryptic tweet. “overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused.” Damn it! What IS that word!? — Duncan Jones (@ManMadeMoon) February 16, 2016.

Grammy Awards Slammed As Racist Over Excluding Black Stars From The Posthumous Musical Tribute Segment Of The Show

Natalie Cole

A report in London's Daily Mail newspaper reveals the U.S. based Grammy Awards are being slammed on accusations of racism. Recently, legendary singers, Natalie Cole and Earth, Wind And Fire founding member, Maurice White, died in separate incidents from illness. Cole sold over 30 million records in her lifetime and won many awards, including Grammys. Cole has many memorable, beautiful songs that are big hits. White and his band Earth, Wind and Fire have sold over 100 million records and won many awards, including Grammys. I got the opportunity to see them play live years ago and they were fantastic. Earth, Wind and Fire are true musicians.

However, based on reports, African-American Cole and White have been left out of the musical tribute segment of tonight's show, in favor of recently deceased white singers David Bowie and musician/vocalist, Glenn Frey, a member of the top selling band, the Eagles. It makes no sense that Cole and White can't be included in the musical tribute segment. Even 30-seconds of a top song by each such as Cole' "Unforgettable" White's "September" or "After The Love Is Gone" Bowie's "Let's Dance" and "You Belong To The City" by Frey from the Miami Vice soundtrack. It's not difficult to pull this off.

 

Maurice White

I wouldn't particularly call the Grammys racist. The Grammy awards committee has given many awards to minorities who are black, Hispanic and Asian. However, the Grammys have changed in the past few years and it now has issues with award rigging and bribery that has led to a complete imbalance, in that a number of awards are being given to undeserving recording artists and those who engage in copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement (Chris Brown Slams The Grammy Awards In Online Tirade). 

I don't know what they are playing at omitting Cole and White, who have made huge contributions to music. As stated above, I do not think the Grammys are racist, but something else is going on regarding the snub, that probably falls under the category of some other music industry politics and foolishness. Let me guess, some spoiled brat of a modern star wants to indulge in a long performance to promote some new, nonsensical song and album that isn't even original, so the tribute section has been shaved down. Do the new cultists running the Grammys know so little about music that they failed to realize what Cole and White have done in entertainment history. 

Side Bar: Either way, I won't be watching the show, for its aforementioned behavior in awarding thieves Grammys and now being controlled by a crazy Hollywood cult (Kabbalah), rather than intelligent industry experts. The stuff passing as music now is disgraceful (and unoriginal).

Now the Grammys have a race problem: All-white tributes under fire for celebrating Bowie and Lemmy but not Maurice White 

Published: 13:45 EST, 13 February 2016 | Updated: 14:57 EST, 13 February 2016 - It is still unclear whether the late Maurice White will be included in this year's Grammy Awards live tributes, as producers scramble under time constraints and pressures to diversify the show. The musician, songwriter, producer and founder of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, died last week on at the age of 74 after suffering from Parkinson's Disease for decades. 

Page Six reported: 'Industry insiders are griping that White and Natalie Cole have been banished to a video tribute package with others who died in the past year.'  Maurice White, who died on February 4, and Natalie Cole, the singer-songwriter and daughter of Nat King Cole who died on December 31, will be relegated to the video tribute package. White was the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire (pictured). The band which will receive a lifetime achievement award, but the ceremony is held a separate event that isn't televised 

The Grammys, set to air on Monday night, will see an all-white tribute section to remember David Bowie, Glenn Frey of the Eagles, and Lemmy from Motorhead. An insider told Page Six: 'The tributes they’ve confirmed are all white. As of yesterday, there was no tribute at all for Maurice because Grammy producers said they didn’t have time...

Lady Gaga Stole Dead Singer's Image And Persona

Lady GaGa

Singer Lady Gaga is once again being accused of stealing other's music and image, to support her pop music career. Yana Morgana, the mother of tragic 19-year-old singer, Lina Morgana, who committed suicide in 2007, stated Lady Gaga, real name, Stefani Germanotta, ripped off her daughter's image and style.

Before you Lady Gaga enthusiasts rubbish her claims, you should be aware of who Morgana was in relation to the story. Lina Morgana, was the former writing partner of Rob Fusari, who is the producer that discovered and penned music for Lady Gaga. Morgana also met Lady Gaga in the studio, before the singer became famous.

Lina Morgana pre-Lady GaGa

Fusari, recently sued his ex-girlfriend, Lady Gaga, for reneging on their written deal, which entitled him to a percent of the profits from her career, which is only fair, considering he came up with her name, music (some of which is infringing) and told her to get a makeover...which she did...Morgana's image, mixed with that of Grace Jones and David Bowie.

Yana Morgana insists she is not going to sue Lady Gaga. However, she wants her late daughter to receive credit for the work she, which Lady GaGa is now profiting from and for the songs Lina did with Fusari to be released.

It is quite creepy that cocaine addicted, Lady GaGa, stole a dead singer's image. It is also not the first time another artist has accused Lady GaGa of stealing from their work. Talk about a fraud.

People gave Lady Gaga too much credit for being original, when her producer/boyfriend, Rob Fusari, who later sued her, created her stage name and music, while she copied eccentric artists, such David Bowie and Grace Jones, among others.

Lady Gaga burst onto the music scene with a style reminiscent of Grace Jones and David Bowie. Her music started off on a fairly new course, representing something somewhat new and different, but of late, she has been pilfering items from other singers and it is hurting her name online, as audiences are pointing out the rip-offs.

The most recent is indie singer, Maluca, who slammed Lady Gaga for stealing her trademark "soda can rollers" look, for her latest video "Telephone" featuring fellow bisexual Beyonce.
