Yup. You can see that EVERYONE watching was confused in the beginning…

History.
The real winner of the rigged category. She DID THAT as a debut artist.
EXACTLY. There were so many little monsters born on that day so how TF did this not win?
Y'all do know the reward was based on an Instagram poll, right? More Katy fans voted. That's it.
@@marcusjones6098 no tf they didnt lmao there's no way there's more katy fans than gaga.. cmon now
Google is free. There was literally a poll on MTV's IG where anyone could vote for "Most Iconic Performance". It's not a real award. And, I never said Katy has more fans. I said more Katy fans voted.
@@marcusjones6098 Taylor Swift fandom are way bigger than Katy's. I don't think Taylor deserved either, but Gaga's, Britney and Madonna deserved.
The drama. The theatricality. The art. The performance. The blood. The expressions. The effects. The symbolism. Lady Gaga, you will always be famous
This comment ❤❤
EXACTLY! The stage and performance are always on point
wow, i can’t believe gaga invited the vma’s to her concert! she’s so generous
I'm 500 honey 🍯
This 😂👏👏
Made me cackle love this comment so much 😭😭
LAMO😂😂❤
i know right? she also invited the Super Bowl to her concert in 2016.
You can even hear the gasps in the crowd when the blood starts gushing out. What a performance
I'd love to see footage of audience reactions to that moment! There would have to have been cameras on the crowd right?!
An audience member put their arm down fast when she saw it
Straight chills there 🔥
I remember seeing this as a kid, I was shocked and in panic
@dogerogue6621 there used to be a crowd video on yt a few years back but they took it down.
The crowd was a normal level of noisy then they noticed the blood and gasped and yelled. Then got very quiet and when they realized it was supposed to happen they cheered WAY louder than you can hear in this video!
This performance literally changed the entire pop industry
That's a lie. Madonna and Janet Jackson are way better

The crowd gasps is normal, but then the crowd becomes the song. She's (metaphorically) dying on stage and everyone's clapping and cheering. Really deep...
The way they applaud her “dead” body being hung up there is so eerie
I still trying to figure out the meaning of it
@@Chris-g5zfrom what my knowledge is: She’s a blonde iconic dying in front of everyone, basically Hollywood loves to k*ll the blonde icon….Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith etc, so Gaga herself decided the be her own mortality as the song It self points out, hope that helps.
@@Chris-g5z It's homage to Princess Diana
@@LeAngeloMonarchJesus. Someone else gets it. I was about to type up something very similar to this, but you beat me to it. God. The fact that someone else understands fully…😭
This is the display of fame destruction. She says it in her opening “Amidst all of the flashing lights…I pray the fame won’t take my life.” A tale as old as time and repeated in history. We saw it with Gaga herself in 2013 with ARTPOP. Britney in 07 with Blackout. Marie Antoinette with “Let them eat cake” (misquoted but put upon her by the masses). We are again seeing it NOW with Chappell Roan and Doja Cat. Fame is destruction and how we will dissect an artist until the fame takes over them.
DONT DARE TO DELETE THIS EVER AGAIN. This is history!
SAME ENERGY 🌹💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 MTV ya'll better never delete thiiiisss
They did not delete it, UA-cam deleted it because of the blood placement and stuff
@theobvious13 lmao, we can see a literal birth giving or some guy's a$$ shaving on youtube, but can't see legendary Lady Gaga's fake-blooded performances😂😂😂😂

Herstory
This performance completely changed the trajectory of her career. The self harmony, the passion, the piano playing, the blood, the timed mic drop at the end… this is the birth of an Icon.
It’s like I’m reading a holy scripture
Honestly, I wonder if the ending was off. It seems like she got lifted into the air a little prematurely and maybe she just forgot to not take the mic with her.

The most iconic Gaga moment imo is when an interview asked her if she was trans and her reply was basically "So what if I was? Is that a bad thing?". Shes always known what's right
ella siempre fue el futuro.
This is easily one of the most iconic performances of all time. Her vocal ability and her acting ability are on full display here. It’s like it showcased everything she’d do over the next decade.
Love this comment ❤
It really was like catching the off broadway production of a now classic musical. All of the elements are there, all perfectly ready to be beloved by many
So true
Literally , she sounds beautiful and is SINGING LIVE the theatrics etc it was all put together she needs to literally get rewarded for this I’m not playing
Her singing is terrible.

16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

i literally have the whole performance in 1080 hq 💀💀💀 how mtv doesn't have its own material and files??? 💀
I wanna have the entire documentary about this performance: what is the mechanism in the dress that made it bleed, how did they put those bloody contacts in her eyes so quickly, and how was she able to even sneak this type of performance on TV without them censoring it. I have so many questions about this truly iconic moment in pop culture.
There is a couple answer I can give, without being an expert on it. Also based on an article that was on the website PropaGaga back in 2009 about the Director talking about the performance. You can access it using the wayback Machine Archive :
VMA creative director Lee Lodge told MTV News, that was inspired by references as diverse as “Phantom of the Opera,” Madonna, Marie Antoinette, the pope and Jesus. “Gaga came to the table with the idea that she wanted to perform while she was injured and she wanted to perform with lots of blood,” Lodge said. “And there was always the idea of ‘Phantom.’ [...]
[...] The idea of ending the performance by metaphorically dying and then being lifted up into the air as if ascending to heaven. “It was supposed to be commenting on the life of celebrity,” he explained. “Even though you see her dying, she’s going to a much better place.”
Gaga originally wanted to begin the song with an actual chandelier plummeting from the rafters and landing on her, but logistically that was an impossible feat to accomplish. Instead, Lodge and his team showed Gaga photos of a controversial sculpture by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan of Pope John Paul II being crushed by a meteor. Gaga loved the idea, and it became one more reference point in a stage show that was also heavily influenced by Madonna’s rococo “Vogue” performance at the 1990 VMAs. For all the elaborate stage craft during “Paparazzi,” the most technically difficult aspect of Gaga’s night was the blood. Technicians ended up rigging a radio-triggered blood bag under Gaga’s costume in an effort to get the blood to flow on cue. “We had to make sure it didn’t misfire, it didn’t trigger early,” Lodge said. “Otherwise it would have given the whole thing away.”
________
It was possible on and because of Lee Lodge. Otherwise.. Well.. It would have never happened. As for the blood on her eyes, she is wearing protective contacts that do are transparent. The fake blood was probably food safe and not chimical, hence why she could put it into her eye and not feel scratchy or anything.
I believe she smeared the fake blood into her own eyes. Not contacts
It was actually eye blood that leaked from her shirt.
@@sircarteryourexcellency1737 yeah she put the blood in her eyes herself lol
Pretty sure when she laid down she put the blood in her eyes herself
The pick of MTV was 2009, we lost MJ but we saw the born of a new star Lady Gaga, the pop was in save, she was the future and now she is the biggest performer alive.

People of the Lord’s holy kingdom
Scripture: 1 Peter Chapter 2 Verses 9-12
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; you never received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Dear brothers, you are strangers and sojourners. I urge you to abstain from the lusts of the flesh; these lusts war against the soul.
Holiness is a life that is willing to be “set apart” according to God’s will and to “remove all filthiness.” Such a life is based on God’s requirements and standards; and a holy life is the sign and characteristic of God and of Christians, “If a man purifies himself from base things… he may become holy and useful to the Lord.” (2 Timothy 2:21) ) Holiness comes at a price, including holiness of body, mind, and spirit-obedience to God. There is something to escape from-getting away from base things, and there is something to pursue-to
pursue - self-purification.

🤔A fool is one who says in his heart that there is no God... He says this in his heart; it is not his judgment but his imagination. He could not convince himself that there was no god, but he wished there was none, rejoicing with the fantasy that there might not be. He cannot be sure that there is no God, so he is willing to think that there is no God. He did not dare to say it out loud, lest he be refuted and thus escape from being deceived. He said this secretly and quietly in his heart, to suppress the protests of his conscience and make himself bold in the evil path.😢
Y'all don't understand we were watching this live and JUMPING UP AND DOWN SCREAMING... then total silence when she was hanging... for 5 min we were like shook. Legit shaken. She changed show business that night.
This is so DAMN true, I remember thinking someone had snipered her because of her acceptance speech, like legit! Me and my sis were confused at whether to clap or be concerned! I remember talking about it the next day in class and again at lunch. Then we talked about “where the wild things are.”

At the age of 12, I discovered Bad Romance on UA-cam and was deeply disturbed by the MV.

looking back, this VMA was really a key factor in my coming out. hearing gaga say “this is for god and the gays.” as she accepted her reward changed my life forever. as a catholic child, hearing those two words together in a sentence in a positive way on national television was just mind blowing to me. as a 11 year old i finally felt seen and determined. so cool.
It was her way of saying that you can be both and still be worthy/loved. Gotta give it to her for putting that good in the world
Same 🥹🥹
So basically, you were indoctrinated by a puppet of the industry….
lol funny you say that cuz the only reason I learned of Lady Gaga was from my preacher that was pissed about her performing with RuPaul in a condom themed outfit. If it weren't for the outrage that the catholic church I went to had, I never would have found Gaga, and never would have embraced the "outlandish" free expression that She promoted.

Not a camila fan at all but her new album is interesting to say the least and i feel like with time it'll start to gain traction and be considered "iconic"
You're rewriting history. This performance catapulted Lady Gaga to another level of fame. EVERYONE was talking about it both fans and nonfans alike. Paparazzi, whilst being a fan hit, had been released as a single two months before but didn't become a huge hit until after this performance. I remember hearing it EVERYWHERE after. If anything Gaga's VMA Applause performance is something that is iconic but definitely was not treated a such (General Public was over her by that point)

Can tell you now out of all of the people i have seen in concert Gaga to this day outbeats every single one. Nothing will ever be as extraordinary as her concert. She is just too talented. My first concert when i was 11 years old was gaga. I went to Justin bieber twice after her, ac/dc, fleetwood mac twice, guns n roses, def leppard, pink. Nothing could ever compare.

I urge you to abstain from the lusts of the flesh; these lusts war against the soul.
Holiness is a life that is willing to be “set apart” according to God’s will and to “remove all filthiness.” Such a life is based on God’s requirements and standards; and a holy life is the sign and characteristic of God and of Christians, “If a man purifies himself from base things… he may become holy and useful to the Lord.” (2 Timothy 2:21) ) Holiness comes at a price, including holiness of body, mind, and spirit-obedience to God. There is something to escape from-getting away from base things, and there is something to pursue-to
pursue - self-purification.

The blood! The GASP!!! The way she sells it. Gaga has always and will always be a STAR! ⭐️

The 2009 VMA was just beyond epic. Opening with Madonna and Janet’s tribute to Michael, Gaga’s “Paparazzi”, Pink’s “Sober” trapeze act. The list goes on
Kanye West disturbing Taylor Swift
Lil' Mama getting on stage 🤣
Beyonce's epic Single Ladies performance
This sinful world cannot meet our needs. Everything is vanity and chasing after wind. Thank God, it is only in Christ that we have the true wisdom and true light of life in the Lord. The words of the Lord Jesus are spirit and life (John 6:63).
Therefore, we must take root and grow in the Lord’s words, and in the short life under the sun, we must pursue the fruit of eternal blessing in the spiritual life above the sun.🎉
@@ccxi2737 SHUT UP. This is not a church, it's a UA-cam channel that celebrates pop culture 🙄. Go tell your church friends this nonsense you just typed that no one here is interested in 🤮.
She was way ahead of her time and people didn't appreciate her artistry enough
Oh, baby, you were absolutely ROBBED.
You know where music comes from? Cloning center where they hurt little kids
Rebellion is a denial of God's authority and rule .
There are many "foolish people" who need the teaching of the truth; on the other hand, foolishness is the inherent ignorance and the concrete practice of sin.
Examine yourself, the people of the holy kingdom do not like the image of evil and depraved demons and monsters.
Can such a ghastly and horrific picture of such a corrupt life glorify God?👀
There are also idols who worship ignorant celebrities, obscene indoctrination etc.🤔🤔🤔
She was a musical and theatrical mastermind at the young age of 23. I can never seem to get enough of this performance, always tearing up by the end of it.

This is the most ICONIC performance in VMA stage. No one can beat this performance. From stage, vocals, dancers and even the blood scene was on point. The gasp of the audience gives me goosebumps. Rooting for you and we love you Mother Monster!

I was 9. I remember thinking she was hurt when she started bleeding lol
ive been praying for years and years for someone to upload this iconic moment in history, will never forget the moment i saw this at 11 y/o on mtv, magnificccc love you gaga
Even the numbers are telling the truth that who owns the most iconic performance award... MTV, you are nothing without Lady Gaga!
JAJAJAJAJAJAJA, MADONNA, KATY PERRY, BRITNEY, ARIANA, ETC THE MONSTERS ARE REALLY DELULU
how can yall take that award seriously the only reason katy got it is because she performed and everything else she has done this year flopped and the vmas are a total joke now.
@@danjunior352 yet you're here under THEE lady gaga's video! a true fan
WE FINALLY GOT THE UNCENSORED PART IN THIS ICONIC PERFORMANCE!!!
Every time I watch this performance I’m absolutely gagged. Words can barely even describe how iconic gaga is.
this performance is and forever will be LEGENDARY!!! future generations wont get it the way we do. her fkn live vocals??? the self harmonizing, the power and passion behind her voice, the choreography, the piano playing, the set, the meaning behind it all, the blood gushing, the shock factor this caused in the industry… lady gaga you were ahead of your time and are forever an icon
here after the results, gaga deserved the award so bad
FINALLY THEY UPLOADED IT! OMG. HOW COULD YOU KEEP IT FROM HUMANITY? This is a world heritage level performance
i want this video played at my funeral
Omg yess
😂😂true
can't believe right after this she actually went and birthed us all because what a MOTHER
I remember watching this live 😭
i remember sbbing to this live lmfaoooo i thought it was real
Twitter was insane this night. After this performance specifically I just remember having my jaw on the floor because I couldn’t tell if the blood was real. I was about to enter middle school at the time
Same and it shaped me❣️
Same.
same. i live on the other side of the planet so i had set up an alarm and got up in the middle of the night just to watch vma.
This iconic performance that was a cultural reset for pop music that is remembered and talked about to this day when we remember the VMAs lost to a performance that no one even remembers... SERIOUSLY, MTV?
3:16 so iconic
This moment changed everything for her and the music industry. Wow that ending though still give me chills.
THIS PERFORMANCE WAS THE REAL WINNER OF MOST ICONIC PERFORMANCE, period.
This performance was not only iconic but made me realize that she did not song in that very high strung register they tried to get her to do early in her career.
And the way she sings Paparazzi as she intended in her register signifies how far Hollywood will go to make people fit the molds they want. It was here that her actual voice is celebrated.
This not winning best VMA perfomance this year was criminal
greatest performance of all time. layered, integrate, unexpected, a full circle performance from fashion, music, dancing, stage, lighting, meaning. gaga ate this up. love rewatching 😊
This performance deserves a lifetime achievement award of its OWN

I remember seeing this live and just DYING, nobody understood at the time just how artistic and magical she was, this performance changed a lot of minds, i was already a big fan and this cemented my suspicions that her artistic direction had only just begun ✅💯
the way she quickly decided and acted to apply more of the blood on her face to have the perfect dramatic ending is just beyond to me. she is a true artist that knows her craft.
there will never be another performance like this. Artists wish they could attain this level of production
It was this moment that the whole world realised Lady Gaga is the new queen of Pop
Monstress of Pop 😉 or Mistress you know she’d love either of those titles 🔥
it took MTV this long 🙄 to realise they should’ve uploaded this iconic performance for future generations to see
It’s insane how iconic this performance was. I watched this hundreds of times on DVR after it aired. Birth of a legend.
I remember this performance, I stood up in awe in my living room just in LOVE with this entire performance. She completely changed the game for the music industry, and pop artists tried so hard to grasp at what she created- no one has come close to the artistry this woman has. Brilliant!
This should have won at the VMAs.
It didn’t??? It was the best performance ever
This should've won the MOST ICONIC PERFORMANCE!

After Britney we didn't expect to have iconic performances again until Lady Gaga came along. I'm not comparing them, I'm just thankful to have both of them in the music industry.
This was the moment at 17 that I knew she wasn’t just a good singer, but a fantastic artist. Been in love with her ever since.
