5. Lady Gaga, "Paparazzi" (MTV Video Music Awards, 2009)

What was missing from Lady Gaga's resplendent Super Bowl performance: the rush of sheer expectation defiance, the kind of imagery so new and so left-field that all Diddy can do in the audience is stare blankly in disbelief. This is still Gaga as the Little Monsters will ultimately best remember her: one leg on the piano Gaga, bleeding from the chest Gaga, too fabulous to be glamorous Gaga. There's never been a star-making performance quite like it before or since, as Stefani Germanotta basically pulled a reverse Weeknd; waiting until she was firmly in the mainstream's center, before taking off her pop star bunny mask and revealing what a wonderful weirdo she was underneath.

 

Her 2010 Grammys Performance also made the list!

65. Lady Gaga feat. Elton John, "Poker Face" / "Speechless" / "Your Song"(Grammys, 2010)

Having established her high-concept weirdness on the previous year's awards circuit, Lady Gaga took the stage at the '10 Grammys like a star who required no introduction. All that mattered was Gaga and mentor Elton John, covered in glitter and smeared facepaint while professing their love for each other on dueling pianos, as the rest of us at home watched in awe of how Stefani Germanotta had turned the pop world into her own fantasy factory.

100%  pressedT at them NOT including the MASTERPIECE 2015 Oscar's Julie Andrews Tribute. That performance deserved to be in the Top 10.
