text: An experimental performance unveils the "wizard behind the curtain" in tribute 
   
   Lady Gaga will be honoring the work, influence and legend of David Bowie at this year’s Grammys with a performance powered by Intel. 
   
   Both Gaga and Bowie have used the medium of the stage — and often their own bodies — to express themselves and the many messages throughout their music. To further propel her Grammy performance to honor one of her greatest heroes, Gaga will have the support of Intel to bring her performance to life. 
   
   The collaboration between Intel and Lady Gaga is part of the Experience Amazing campaign. Intel aims to show how its technology facilitates unique experiences throughout the world. 
   
   Intel’s involvement with Lady Gaga’s Bowie tribute is part of the company’s multiyear partnership with The Recording Academy for its ‘Next Generation of GRAMMY Moments’ initiative that will launch next during Grammys week. Intel has resealed a teaser video for the project, which features Lady Gaga’s vision and her involvement: 
   
   In the video Gaga explains, “With the arsenal of the world’s leading technology at my fingertips, I now have the ability to invent the un-inventable.” She says that the collaboration between herself and Intel will “culminate in a performance that inspires to remind the world of the seed of innovation, the wizard behind the curtain, the mind behind the machine.” 
   
   You can check out Gaga’s Grammy performance on Monday, February 15th. 
   
   Experience Amazing ||||| Lady Gaga's tribute to David Bowie started on the 2016 Grammys red carpet. 
   
   The 29-year-old pop star channeled the late singer by wearing an orange wig, a leotard, a bedazzled Marc Jacobs blazer and platform heels, a nod to Bowie's Ziggy Stardust era. Prior to her arrival at L.A.'s Staples Center, Gaga shared two Snapchat videos of herself crying in the makeup chair while listening to Bowie's "Backstar" and "Church." On Saturday, Gaga commissioned celebrity tattoo artist Mark Mahoney to ink Bowie's likeness (from his Aladdin Sane album cover) on the left side of her torso. She Snapchatted the inking, captioning one shot, "This was the image that changed my life," and in another, "Hail Mary full of grace Saint Bowie." 
   
   Gaga will sing some of Bowie's biggest hits later tonight. 
   
   At the Recording Academy and Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala Sunday night, E! News' Marc Malkin got intel on Gaga's performance from Neil Portnoy, president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. "She will take us through quite a bit of history of David Bowie's repertoire. It's one of the longest, larger segments of the night," Portnoy said. "There's some very exciting brand new technology that's never been seen on television that will be a part of the segment." 
   
   As if Gaga would settle for anything less. ||||| Lady Gaga paid tribute to David Bowie with a transformative performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards ceremony. Bowie died last month from a long battle with cancer, with his death coming days after his 69th birthday and release of his final album Blackstar.

   Filled with special effects, costume changes and an appearance from Let's Dance and Black Tie White Noise producer Nile Rodgers, Gaga gave a tribute to Bowie as eclectic as his career. Beginning with "Space Oddity," Gaga first appeared on-screen with just her head mutating with space-y colors. From there, she moved to a piano featuring hydraulics before performing full choreography to songs like "Fashion," "Let's Dance" and "Rebel Rebel." Rodgers, who also directed the performance, joined in on guitar for the second half of the tribute, which ended with "Heroes."

   In 2008, Gaga thanked Bowie "for inspiration" in the liner notes of her debut The Fame. The following year, she listed his single "Rebel Rebel" as one of her favorite pop songs of all time in her first Rolling Stone cover story. 
   
   "All of the things I went through were on my own quest for an artistic journey to fuck myself up like Warhol and Bowie and Mick, and just go for it," she explained to RS in 2010 when discussing her approach to mixing trauma with art. "I like to, within moderation, respect that I'm not Mick Jagger or David Bowie, and I don't just have fans that are a certain age. There are nine-year-olds listening to my music, so I guess I try to be respectful of them if at all possible." 
   
   Last week, Gaga sang the National Anthem at Super Bowl 50. She recently won a Golden Globe for her role on American Horror Story: Hotel and is nominated alongside Diane Warren for Best Original Song at the Oscars.

target: – Lady Gaga showed up on the Grammys red carpet all Ziggy Stardusted-up in her Marc Jacobs getup and platform heels, ostensibly to get her pumped for her much-talked-about tribute to David Bowie (she even got a giant tattoo of Bowie on her torso over the weekend, per the New York Daily News). And like all things Bowie, her set was replete with costume changes and vibrantly colorful lights in an Intel-sponsored performance that was described by PSFK.com before the show as being "experimental" with a "wizard behind the curtain" feel." Gaga ran through some of Bowie's best-loved hits, including "Space Oddity," "Changes," "Ziggy Stardust" (which she accompanied on the keyboard), "Suffragette City," "Rebel Rebel," "Fashion," "Fame," "Let's Dance," and "Heroes." The performance was called a "burst of rock 'n' roll energy on a sleepy night" by the Verge, while Rolling Stone deemed it an "astonishing" and "transformative performance."
