Racist Singing At The Oscars

woman singing 3[Blind Gossip] Lots of musical performances at last night’s Oscars, some better than others. There was one performance that took a lot of people by surprise, as the singer was  performing in a style and costume atypical for her. We thought she was incredible… but not everyone was similarly impressed!

This talented actor (who was not a nominee last night) was complaining about her performance at an after-party. He complained that her voice wasn’t good and that she was given more time to perform because she was white. “When you give a black woman who is a great singer two minutes to sing, but you give a white woman who is a sh*tty singer ten minutes to sing, that’s racist!”

He thought that the time should have been used to do an entire medley of songs from a movie that HE thought should have been more honored to make up for how racist the whole ceremony was. Yes, he seemed to have had a drink or two in him when he started his tirade.

  7. I’m sorry, but Jennifer Hudson sucked and Lady Gaga was amazing. Talent just isn’t about race. I had to mute Jennifer Hudson’s noise after a minute because the overuse of vibrato to avoid showing your lack of talent is not the same thing as singing. I have never, ever been a fan of Lady Gaga’s. I have always found her to be a waste of space with the meat dresses and endless gimmicks. But lets give it where it’s due- she blew everyone else out of the water last night. She deserved every minute she had and more. I had no idea she had that kind of voice. Imagine if she hadn’t hidden it behind all of the marketing crap all these years!

    • Was this teased at all and I missed it? I had no idea she was going to do that and I really liked it. I don’t mind JHud at all, but what I most liked about LG was how unexpected that was.

    • I never found anything shocking about Gaga’s voice, cause I knew she could sing her pants off from day one. When I heard “just dance” the first time, I thought is that the new song from Xtina, then there’s all Gaga live vocal performance stripped down to just her and her piano like on SNL. I just don’t get why some people thought she didn’t have a big voice. Really I don’t get it.

    • I thought I saw footage of him after her performance and he seemed to be impressed. I will have to watch again, but I don’t think it is him. Has to be someone with far more attitude and seemingly less class.

  11. Gaga of course
    Probably the bitter David Oyelowyo
    Plenty of people were left off the Oscar list and I really think it has nothing to do with race get over it and move on if you are good you’ll have other chances to be nominated.

  14. Singer: Lady Gaga

    Actor: David Oyelowo

    I think she was incredible.
    Selma was not that good of a movie. I am a European and maybe I don’t understand African Americans but I think they made a not-so-good movie and expected everyone to rave about it, just because it was a movie with Dr. King. Make better movies.

    P.S. Every time I see Oprah on the stage of an award show, she talks about the discrimination towards Afr-Americans. I just fast-forward. How many times will I watch the same speech?

    • “How many times will I watch the same speech?” Um…maybe when discrimination against people of colour in hollywood stops.

      “I am a European and maybe I don’t understand African Americans…” if you could understand and sympathize with black people, you wouldn’t be wondering why black people and other people of coulour are repeating themselves until they are FULLY heard…

      P.S. Gaga was amazing. This actor is insane for downplaying how good she was.

    • hollywood just doesn’t discriminate agasint blacks FATGIRL6
      it hates Catholics, Republicans (reason Clint and his American sniper didn’t win) and much more hatred against Women than blacks
      if patricia arquette had wanted to be courageous she would have decried sexism in having 20 yr old actresses playing against kevin costner and sean connery
      or she could have said yea i got this movie 14 years ago when i was young but here i am getting an acidly award but i haven’t gotten a good movie script in 10 years since i turned40

    • I think the person above is saying they don’t see how the exclusion of the actors/director of Selma, a movie I also disliked due to it’s reimagining of historical events to fit a narrative, as racist, but rather a mediocre film that was nominated for the highest award in the land. I think they also feel as if awards’ shows aren’t the proper venue for folks like Oprah, one of the wealthiest, highest regarded women in the world, who is also African American, to repeatedly complain about discrimination & marginalization. While there’s plenty of debate to be had regarding current racism in Hollywood & the real world, there’s nothing wrong with expressing frustration and disliking the over-politicization of the events, themselves. I personally didn’t care for Patricia Arquette’s plea to end wage discrimination in the US, for women, because I know it’s complete BS, political talking points that are not accurate & merely pander to the ill-informed.

    • Can’t disagree with anything aperitto says, thought. Selma wasn’t all that as a movie. And as a Canadian, I also grow weary of the constant demands from Americans – of all colours.

    • First off, she was amazing – we all can agree about that for sure! Not sure who would say that, but I doubt it was Terrence Howard because he seemed like he was on cloud nine, if you catch my drift.

      What aperitto said, to me, seemed like it was coming from an honest place. I try to live my life loving everyone, but anymore I feel like I’m being a bad person because I don’t see the problem in Lady Gaga being up there longer when she is a much better performer. Maybe I’m being racist, but I sure hope I’m not.

    • Exactly! Speeches about discrimination will stop when discrimination stops. Tired of hearing about? Then do something about it! (For the record, I’m a white man)

    • During my travels to other countries, I’ve found that the US is different from most other countries I’ve been to in regards to African American and non-African American relations. I’m not surprised a person from another country doesn’t understand.

    • I’m not white. I’m not black, either. I live in a community where nearly half our population are black. To be painfully blunt, in my personal experience, black people are a LOT more prejudiced than any other ethnic group I’ve had extensive interaction with. Pot and kettle.

  18. I don’t know if he was drunk, but he is definively deaf. No matter you like Gaga or no, she was great at the Oscars

  21. blah blah blah I think they are ALL narcissistic and think they know everything…. So my guess is all of them hahaha

  22. Singer: Lady Gaga

    Actor: Terrence Howard. Seemed drunk and or high. Bumping into the microphone was classic!

  23. Singer: Lady Gaga

    Actor – No idea but totally wrong in thinking that she was sh*tty as, and I’m not a fan, I thought she was freaking amazing.

  25. Sorry Terrence, but neither Rita Ora nor Jennifer Hudson was as good as Lady GaGa. Don’t make everything a race war.

    • Terence only got his job because he was sting armed into the show by his former lover
      The job was for WESLEY SNIPES
      poor wesley — better actor than the weepy terence and Wesley just can’t catch a break!

  29. Singer: Lady Gaga
    Actor: Terrence Howard

    Lady Gaga blew me away and Terrence Howard was drunk or high or SOMETHING.

  30. If Kanye was there I’d say kanye. But he wasn’t so idris alba. As a black person myself I’m feeling second hand drunk smack talking regret for him…
    Also gaga has always had a great voice..she’d be awesome if she just lost some of her over the top stage antics and oh…sober up too. She is incredibly talented.

  31. Lady Gaga. No clue as to the actor other than David Oyelowo but he seems above this kind of behavious.

  34. So sick of people looking for racism in situations where it does not exist. There is enough of it in the world that we don;t need that type of crap. It only gives people reason to make excuses for the real kind.

    Gaga
    Don’t care. Dude was being stupid. And racist in his own way.

    • I thought the same after listening to John Legend and Common’s acceptance speech.
      Definitely-Common aka Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr

  51. Singer: Lady Gaga and her Sound of Music medley
    Actor: A black dude who wasn’t nominated (so many to choose from!!) I’m thinking Terrence Howard since he seemed to have ‘issues’ that evening.

  53. Lady Gaga (who was incredible)
    Terrence Howard. He seemed out of it when he presented. Embarrassingly so.

  62. Terrance Howard. I just have a feeling. Call me racist….

    Lady Gaga performed to honor The Sound of Music. She did great!

  64. the singer is clearly Gaga… and she really was good… I’m not white and I’m still saying this.

    this could be david owelyo… “not a nominee” being a reminder of how he wasn’t nominated…

  65. Singer: Lady Gaga
    Actor: Terrance Howard.

    Always classless to tear someone down to build up another. Tough for him that Gaga has the chops to stay her ‘ten minutes’.

  67. Singer: Lady Gaga (and I was VERY impressed to learn she is way more than the “meat dress” attention seeker I thought she was!)

    Actor: I have no idea but the racist is who he sees in the mirror!

  70. Gaga is the white singing female but idk who the actor is. All I can say is I think gaga did wonderfully and so did john legend and common.

  71. Singer is Lady Gaga. Don’t know who the actor is, but I think it’s obvious he was wanting to hear more from “Selma”.

  74. Singer: Lady Gaga? Whoever it was doesn’t know the difference between his a$$ and his elbow. She sounded AMAZING and I am not a LG fan.

    Actor: Eddie Murphy

  84. Singer is obviously Lady Gaga, who did a remarkable job with the medley from The Sound of Music. She’s classically trained, and it really showed last night.
    Not sure about the actor. I really hope it wasn’t David Oyelowo from Selma, though he and everyone else associated with that movie certainly have every right to be upset by the paucity of nominations it received.
    A medley of songs from the movie wouldn’t have made up for that, anyway. And dumping on another performer (who had nothing to do with the slight)is never a good look.

  86. Singer: Lady Gaga

    Singer who “should have” been given more time: Jennifer Hudson

    Actor: Terrence Howard

  90. singer: lady gaga. she did the medley for 50th anniversary of sound of music
    actor: probably Terence howard since he was keep babbling all along

  91. Singer: Gaga.

    Actor: Don’t know. But the movie he thought should be more honored, was probably Selma.

  92. If he was talking about GaGa then he can STFU. She was amazing and I don’t even care for her schtick.

  94. This sure sounds like Terrence Howard. And Gaga is not a sh*tty singer, there’s just no denying her vocal talents any more. Don’t like all her stuff, but saying that is just stupid.

  95. Singer: Gaga. True, she did a good job but jesus, it made the evening so much longer and did we really need to give more accolades to the Sound of Music?

    Actor: Terrance Howard. He seemed to be “moved” earlier in the evening and was probably wound up and ready to go at the parties.

  97. Lmao, maybe it was Chris Pine? He was totally emotional during John Legend and Common performing “Glory”.

    I get where he’s going but Lady Gaga has pipes, there’s no need to hate on her for that.

    • Agreed! Chris Pine was clearly feeling it, the other answers seem obvious and say more about the posters than the blind. Terrance Howard is a trip and worthy of judgment, but he’s so in love with himself he’d never talk about Gaga 🙂
