We know Tony Bennett can sing and perform like an angel. He is amazing at almost 87 years old. But Gaga can sing like you won’t believe. After people in the biz see this special she will have offers for “A Star is Born,” Broadway shows, you name it. No meat dresses, no gigantic eggs. Her numerous gowns were elegant and gorgeous. She comported herself on stage like a pro. And the voice! Like Ella Fitzgerald. No kidding.
I can’t be more specific yet about the content of the show. It’s too soon. Suffice to say, it reminded me of a classic special from the early 60s when CBS would present sophisticated variety– like Julie Andrews and Harry Belafonte.
It’s based on their “Cheek to Cheek” album, set for September 24th, just in time for the Grammy deadline. We’ll be seeing a lot of that project on the Grammys come February 2015.
The whole “Cheek to Cheek” project will be a game changer for Lady Gaga.
Anyways, Gaga does have a very present voice like Ella but her tone is still a little bit more muffled and not as clear as Ella's. But it is huge, huge honor to be compared to the original songstress.
