Lady Gaga divides fans with David Bowie 'karaoke tribute' at Grammys

Watch Lady Gaga's performance in full here:

It was one of the most anticipated Grammy performances of the night - but Lady Gaga's tribute to David Bowie didn't go down well with everyone.

The singer was slammed on Twitter for her "karaoke" performance which was a six-minute medley to the late music legend.

She sang Space Oddity before breaking into Changes, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City, Rebel Rebel, Fashion, Fame, Let's Dance and Heroes.

But within minutes of her performance ending Twitter had gone into meltdown with divided opinion on it.

Many said they wanted to see Gaga's own tribute to Bowie rather than a karaoke version of the man himself.

One user even said it was "more like Austin Powers than Bowie".

And a tweet from Bowie's own son, film director Duncan Jones, appeared to suggest he was none to impressed either.

But others thought it was a fitting tribute to Bowie, who died aged 69 in January after an 18-month battle with cancer.

Those in the 'loved it' camp wrote Gaga was the "only person" for the job.
