Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me?


Actually, this duet works incredibly well on their recent album "Cheek To Cheek". I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga and really think she's weird. Her music is weird, her persona is weird, she's just weird.

However, WOW does she have a fantastic voice! I've never even listened to any of her stuff because, well she's weird, but with Tony as a singing partner, she's great.

This album is recorded very well. Nice deep and wide soundstage and the imaging is excellent. The voices are a little forward for my taste, but still overall, well done.

Tony Bennett was one of my parent's favorite singers and I, of course, have heard him many times. He's not what I would usually listen to, but this album has become one of my favorites.

Well worth a listen and highly recommended!

Oh, I realized if it wasn't clear- Tony Bennett at 88-fine. Tony + Lady Gaga-not so good.
Sorry if I sounded insulting, Kb54, I agree with you.

I think it was Frank Sinatra who remarked about Tony,
"You know why he's so popular, (?) he's got the voice, man" (!)
Ditto here, Kb54.
We all are, as persons, getting either better or worse, my point is that
Tony, perhaps alone among his peers, is always getting better and there is a great beauty in that .
I guess most know this, but singing is Tony's day job, he is a trained painter and that his main identity.
I have a hunch that his reason for the recordings he does now is to help others.
Yes, There was a big back screen during Tony's performance, and many of his paintings were shown while he sang. Very impressive!
Katy perry and Miley Cyrus are eating lady gaga's lunch these days in pop circles. So I suppose that means she needs some help finding a new identity. Teaming up with a well liked legend should help. Plus the young'uns get exposure to a classy legend. A symbiotic teaming for sure I would say. 👍👍
