Freddie Mercury would have fucking ADORED her

2011 wasn’t ready for this.

For a couple of years the VMAs were nothing without a Gaga performance

How awesome is it to see Dave Grohl geek out when Brian May is introduced!!! Megastars still have their idols.

This performance lives in my head rent free forever and every so often I come back to revisit it, check it's still as awesome as I remember. Her magnificent, unapologetic, take-no-prisoners talent. That glorious greaser look. The sideburns. The magnetism. The dance moves. The piano. The VOICE. Brian May. Dave Grohl's joy - greats recognizing greats. The way most of the audience with their marketable beauty, immaculate outfits and careers built on invisible songwriters, armies of producers, in-studio autotune and onstage playback look frankly afraid of her. Hope this broadcast is archived in the Library of Congress.

Fucking masterpiece honestly the celebrities had no idea how to appreciate that

This is why Gaga is so revered. She’s not afraid to be a character, and each performance…….she sells 1 million percent. ❤️ Gaga will forever be amazing

There are no words to describe how awesome of a performer lady gaga is

The Born This Way era was such a time in history 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

What a fucking rockstar. Nobody will ever live up to her presence at the VMAs.

This song is underrated masterpiece! And this performance is OMG! Freakin' Iconic! GaGa is crazy and so talented queen of pop! 🧡🧡🧡

Ladies and gentlemen, we are lucky to call ourselves fans of this legend. We are lucky to live in the same time as her.

This is the one that made me love her.

Brian Fucking May. My first guitar hero!!! The man is a legend.

I thought it was all for attention at the time , but now I understand how she’ll be studied and way more appreciated in the future

Honestly, the most iconic part of this whole video is the pure joy Dave Grohl shows when Brian May comes out. So wholesome

Wow! She was born to be a performer!! 👏👏👏

UNREAL PERFORMANCE - the dancing is quite unique and oh yeah, SHE'S SINGING DURING IT, flawlessly I might add. This may be her best rock performance ever. It's just otherworldly. I always found the very smartly-dressed Biebs amusing at the beginning, contrasted with her grungy greasy "guy" performance. I hope he knew who Brian May was then, because I'd have went bananas when Gaga, er, "Jo" screamed his name!!!

This girl has been giving me goosebumps since inception. Raw Talent.

Gaga brought an astrophysicist on stage 😍😍😍

Can’t wait to see her as Harley Quinn! She’s gonna shatter our expectations

Fact: Queen also has a song called "You and I."

2:56 Ladyes and Gentleman..... BRIAN MAY!!!!!!!!! 😍👏🤟

Only legend can appreciate a legendary performance.

When I think how young she was..brilliant talent, and fearless !

absolutely beautiful performance and the dance part is way over the top.way to go lady gaga outstanding

She leaves it all on the floor. Freddy must be so proud. ❤

I can’t even describe the amount of royalty her pure talent holds These kids weren’t ready for that legendary work of art

Her best performance easily. What an immortal talent. And BRIAN MAY!!!!

She was definitely born to be a performer.

Lady Gaga & Brian May.

THEATER HUNNY. I remember watching this live and being in total awe of her.

OMG Brian and Gaga together 💗

Honestly, for Brian May, that had to be a bit of deja vu - absolutely shredding across multiple genres of music with a wildly creative piano-playing lead vocalist who has an insanely good voice and who completely enraptures their audience every time they perform…

Lady Gaga looks more masculine than Justin Beiber

You can tell shes not used to dancing without heels.

She is soooooo awesome! Then add Brian May! Wow!

She is just AMAZING! God, I just love her and then Brian May!!!! What a triumph ❤️🎸🎶

well VMAs would never be the same again.

The face of dave when brian appears is priceless

Handsome fella, I love Lady GaGa

She cant get more beautiful

Even if 60% of the audience doesnt know who he is, I appreciate her for doing that. Very cool. Dave Grohl appreciated it too!

Gaga is a queen. This is iconic. I also love how Bieber was taking notes 🤣

This is soooooo good and satisfying. The dance number is soooo good.

this is talent!!!!

Eu não sei explicar o pq gosto tanto desta apresentação 💜💜💜

Can we appreciate how difficult that choreography had to be while.singing? Vocals aren't flawless but their damn close for all the shit she's doing up there. Wow.

I will never forget this I remember I was 8 yrs old when this was on and I loved this this brings back alot of memories now I'm 20 now but I love this song alot lol

Lady Gaga e Brian May amooooo 😍😍😍😍😍

This is ICONIC !! ❤

Mãe, quando eu crescer eu quero ser Lady Gaga

This is pure Art

Esse VMA foi icônico, performance incrível da Gaga, Beyonce anunciando gravidez, homenagem a Britney.

A empolgação da Adele é algo contagiante!!

I still think about this performance 😍😍

I love this stage soooo much💗 it makes me amazed every time i watch. She's a perfect genius.

The greatest show on Earth

I LOVE GAGA SOOOOO MUCH

BRILLIANT

I have to say, she gives a performance.. that i can’t stop watching.. even though she isn’t my cup of tea

Way ahead of her time

Some thoughts: 1:08 Justin Bieber seeing sheer talent for the first time 4:45 All the other pop girls just wanna be pretty, but Gaga wants to be legendary. Gaga made me feel her passion for the artistry - she's talented and committed. What a gem.

Esas si eran presentaciones no fregaderas de hoy en día Lady gaga se discutía .en casa escenario .❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why did this 5 min performance feel like forever, it is so iconic. Time dilated for me cuz it was so fkn good.

We feel you Dave!!!!
