Lady Gaga performed the award-winning song "Shallow" from "A Star Is Born" at the Grammys on Sunday.
She donned a sparkly jumpsuit, dark eye makeup, and thrashed around onstage while singing the emotional folk ballad.
Some thought it didn't match the song's vibe and called her performance "weird."
Others loved her glam-rock twist on the song.

Lady Gaga took to the Grammys 2019 stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday to perform "Shallow," which is nominated for both record and song of the year at the Grammys this year .

Gaga sans Bradley Cooper , who sings the other part in the "A Star Is Born" duet put a glam-rock spin on the folk ballad. The pop star donned a sparkly jumpsuit, dark eye makeup, and thrashed around onstage while belting the emotional lyrics.

Some felt the performance didnt quite match the vibe of the popular song itself.

Many others, however, praised her high energy, powerful vocals, and fresh take on the popular song.

Some viewers believe Gaga was making a point to set herself apart from Ally, the character she plays in "A Star is Born" or that fans of the movie and not the artist simply dont realize that Gaga and Ally have very different styles.

Others still noted that Gaga may have been trying to distinguish her performance from her upcoming rendition of "Shallow" at the Oscars .
