Gaga may have received a standing ovation but the Twitter reaction was split.

Her Sound of Music montage made me remember that #LadyGaga is a true artist and talent and more than meat wearables.

"Lady Gaga to now star in Sound of Music on Broadway?" @piersmorgan said.

"Lady Gaga singing a mangled Sound of Music tribute proved every bit as bad an idea as it sounds. #Oscars," @lukebuckmaster added.

"Dear Lady Gaga" is a thing I thought I would only hear Julie Andrews would say in a Cease and Desist letter. #NPROscars
