Celeb News: Michael Musto told Gaga to tone it down

Anubis

American journalist and former writer at The Village Voice likes to think the advice he gave Stefani Joanne Germanotta to strip back 'gaga' resulted in Cheek 2 Cheek.

Quote:

Every once in a while, a celebrity takes my advice, lol. A couple of years ago, it looked like Lady Gaga had hit a saturation point with all the gimmickry, outfits, and over-the-top-ness. I suggested in writing that, as a palate cleanser, she wipe off the warpaint, sit at the piano, and just sing some standards, to remind people that she's a real artist who doesn't need all those accoutrements. Well, she didn't do exactly that, but she did something extremely similar. She recorded an album of standards with golden oldie Tony Bennett. I just saw them singing together on TV and though Gaga was still mildly done up, she was in serious chantoozie mode and they made a magical pairing, full of charm and style. People have been quick to try and tear the woman down for some reason, but let's give her kudos for this step into realness.

In return for the sage advice, she got him sacked at VV.

I miss La Daily Musto and his blind items.

WAIT, check out some of the replies to his Facebook post

Quote:

"In today's pop landscape, doing an album of standards might be the edgiest thing she's ever done."

"And of course Madge will now decide to do a Rosemary Clooney tribute album."

" I'm so glad she stopped with the theatrics as well. She is really talented. She doesn't need gimmicks, and voice alterations....like so many others out there! I love her new cd."

"I agree with you Michael - the special with Tony Bennett was delightful to watch - I just saw it on PBS recently"

"She was on Howard Stern a few weeks back, and she sang live.. Her live voice is amazing! Even blew Howard and Robin away"

Cheek to Cheek garnering Gaga that praise.

But nnnnn a him clocking the Monsters:

Can his eyebrows tone it down?

Not y'all coming at him when she clearly did what he told her to whether it was because of what he said or not.

I'm glad that Gaga toned it down for a while. C2C has done wonders for her image.
