Nile Rodgers defends Lady Gaga's Bowie tribute performance at the Grammys

It's a hot year for Gaga, who performed the national anthem last week at Super Bowl 50 and nabbed a Golden Globe for her role on American Horror Story: Hotel. Providing a melody of ten of his classic hits, but not everyone was impressed.

Lady Gaga- Grammys 2016

As news of singer-actress Lady Gaga sporting a David Bowie tattoo breaks the internet, her Grammy performance also gathered mixed reaction from Bowie fans and from his son, Duncan Jones.

The tweet is the formal definition of the word "gaga" and doesn't read too pretty if taken into the context of how Lady Gaga sang a collection of David's greatest hits including "Fashion" and "Suffragette City" yesterday. "My brother's favorite works of mine are all my instrumentals", he wrote in response to one user who brought up Jones's tweet.
