00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down the live performances where Lady Gaga's

00:12vocals defy human limits, and the times her moves proved she's in a league of her own.

00:23Number 5. Vocals. Perfect Celebrity. The Howard Stern Show.

00:28As Gaga explains before launching into it, this song reflects the double life she's lived as a

00:33celebrity, and the sacrifices she felt she's made for fame.

00:43Stripping it down to an acoustic performance, she reminds us that after all these years,

00:48her vocals can still take us somewhere unexpected. It's not just her impressive range,

00:52but it's how raw and personal this one feels.

00:58Every note, every lyric drips with emotion, pulling us right into the pain she's felt.

01:07The technique is impeccable, sure, but it's the way she gives us her whole soul that makes it

01:12unforgettable. So, when are we getting that acoustic rock album?

01:15Number 5. Dance. Born This Way. The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. Mother Monster knows how to make an

01:29entrance, and in 2011, it was all about the egg. And, from the moment she hatched from it,

01:35we were all ready to join her in this rebirth of inclusivity.

01:38Her breath control is unreal, which allows her to go full out on the choreography.

01:51If you've seen the Born This Way music video, you know the moves go just as hard as the lyrics,

01:56and she delivers every step to perfection.

01:58Oh, and did you notice she's doing all this in heels? Dramatic, bold, and completely electrifying,

02:13this performance was Gaga proving yet again that she was born for the stage.

02:17Number 4. Vocals. If I Ever Lose My Faith In You. The 37th Annual Kennedy Center Honors.

02:35Among this year's Kennedy Center honorees was British musician Sting,

02:38and Lady Gaga delivered a stunning tribute with her rendition of his 1993 hit,

02:43If I Ever Lose My Faith In You.

02:45You could say I lost my sense of direction. Oh, yes, I did.

02:52Her vocal range is on full display, seamlessly shifting between powerful belts and delicate

02:58nuanced moments. Every note is precise, every shift in dynamics intentional,

03:02showing just how much control she has.

03:04But every time I go fast, I see ya, I see ya, I see ya, I see ya fast.

03:12She sings the number as if it had been written for her while still honoring Sting's original version.

03:18Plus, the emotion she pours into it makes it all the more powerful.

03:21It feels deeply personal, as if she were singing straight to the audience.

03:25Number 4. Dance. Judas. The Graham Norton Show.

03:38The performance space on The Graham Norton Show isn't exactly massive,

03:41but that doesn't matter when you're Lady Gaga.

03:44She never does anything halfway, and this performance is proof.

03:47Theatrical, intense, and utterly magnetic from start to finish,

03:58she uses every bit of choreography and staging to bring the song's story to life.

04:02The energy is non-stop, with Gaga and her dancers going full out from the first note to the final beat.

04:08Her stamina, her dancing, her sheer stage presence are all just next level.

04:19She throws everything into this performance and then some.

04:23Even now, it's impossible to watch without feeling like she deserves a standing ovation.

04:27Number 3. Vocals. Speechless. The Vivo Launch Event.

04:39Lady Gaga is known for her larger-than-life performances,

04:42but some of her most powerful moments come when she strips everything back and lets her voice take center stage.

04:47You've left me speechless. So speechless.

04:52She kept things minimal at the Vivo Launch Event,

04:55letting her vocals and piano skills do all the work.

04:58You could feel every note, and her control over her voice is amazing.

05:02And I know that it's so complicated, but I'm a loser in love, so baby...

05:09This version hits even harder than the more headbanging studio release.

05:12It's super personal for her as it's dedicated to her dad,

05:15and you can really feel that love and connection in her voice.

05:18By the end, we were ready to hug our loved ones a little tighter.

05:22Speechless.

05:23You've left me speechless.

05:27So speechless.

05:29Number 3. Dance. Abracadabra. Saturday Night Live.

05:33Abracadabra marked the return we were all waiting for following Chromatica in 2020,

05:39and Gaga came back with a total bang.

05:42Abracadabra, amor, ooh, na, na.

05:45Abracadabra, marcar, ooh, gaga.

05:48Even though the space is small, she makes it feel like she's performing on the world's biggest stage.

05:54The choreography is in a league of its own.

05:56Every second is athletic, fierce, and honestly, when do they find a moment to breathe between steps?

06:02Every move and pose is clearly designed to tell the song's story, adding this incredible artistic feel.

06:16Gaga and her dancers are on point, with every move sharp and perfectly synced.

06:21Seriously, it is everything.

06:23Abracadabra. That's how you make a comeback.

06:25In her tongue, she said, stand for love tonight.

06:32Number 2. Vocals. Bang Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down.

06:36Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, Cheek to Cheek, Live.

06:39Back in 2014, Lady Gaga teamed up with Tony Bennett for a Cheek to Cheek special,

06:43where her take on Cher's Bang Bang totally stole the show.

06:46Bang Bang, he shot me down.

06:51From the second she hit the stage, she looked like a star, but it was her singing that really knocked us off our feet.

06:58This arrangement was a perfect way to show off her incredible range, mixing pop, jazz, and even a bit of musical theater.

07:04And she hits every note without breaking.

07:07Music played and people sang.

07:12As always, her stage presence is a sight to behold.

07:17Dramatic, captivating, and totally in the moment.

07:20It's one of those performances that sticks with you long after it's over.

07:23Bang Bang, that awful song.

07:31Number 2. Dance. Paparazzi.

07:34The 26th MTV Video Music Awards.

07:37These were still early days in Lady Gaga's career.

07:39Yet for many, this was the moment a star was born.

07:51Still in her debut era, Gaga, alongside Beyoncé, was the most nominated artist of the night,

07:57even taking home Best New Artist.

07:59However, it was her performance that truly made everyone sit up and pay attention.

08:04The eccentric staging, her now-famous leg-up-on-the-piano move,

08:07and the tight choreography made it unforgettable.

08:10Oh, you don't have a price

08:13Loving you is cherry pie

08:17Gaga can bring the drama, theatrics, and raw emotion in a way few can match.

08:22But she always gets people talking.

08:24Anyone who went into the VMAs not knowing who she was certainly knew after that.

08:28Chase you down until you love me

08:32To put it plainly, this rendition took our breath away.

08:43We've definitely established by now that her vocal technique is flawless,

08:47but what really sells this performance is how she makes every word feel like it comes straight from her soul.

08:51A million reasons, give me a million reasons, giving me a million reasons, about a million reasons

08:58With just her voice and an orchestra, Gaga strips away all the extra fluff,

09:02leaving us with pure, unfiltered feeling.

09:05Her control over the softer moments is stunning,

09:07drawing us in with that haunting, vulnerable tone.

09:10I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away

09:15And when she lets loose with those soaring high notes, it sends chills down our spines.

09:21It's powerful, precise, and passionate all in one, and we're just lucky enough to witness it.
