You Can Now Watch Lady Gaga's David Bowie Tribute (Yes, The One His Son Hated)

If you were hoping for sub tweeting and shade-throwing at this year’s Grammys, boy were you in luck.

Not only did Album of the Year victor Taylor Swift subtly slam Kanye West from the winner’s podium, but David Bowie’s son, director Duncan Jones, cheekily dissed Lady Gaga, who was paying tribute to his late pa, via Twitter.

In her six-minute performance, Gaga ran through ten of Bowie’s most popular tracks, assisted by legendary Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers and some technological wizardry by Intel, who sponsored the segment. (Just as David Bowie would have wanted?)

Though widely celebrated, Jones offered only the following Tweet as review:

"overexcited or irrational, typically as a result of infatuation or excessive enthusiasm; mentally confused." Damn it! What IS that word!?

You can see where he’s coming from.

Gaga’s Bowie medley was certainly technically impressive, and well-intentioned, but its manic nature only diminished what could have been a powerful performance of, say, merely “Space Oddity” or "Heroes" (which are really the only two songs that worked here).

Either way, many of Gaga’s monsters have taken to criticising Jones on Twitter for his opinion, which seems like the most inappropriate reaction possible.

The Grammys, where the most unexpected feuds are born.
