He added: "On the Academy Awards she [Gaga] was a travesty. It was ridiculous, as it would be from any singer who treats that music in semi-operatic style. She had no relationship to what she was singing. What people liked was her versatility."
Sondheim: Gaga was a "ridiculous" "travesty" at the Oscars
Stephen Sondheim on Lady Gaga: "On the Academy Awards [in which she performed a medley of Sound of Music songs] she was a travesty. It was ridiculous, as it would be from any singer who treats that music in semi-operatic style. She had no relationship to what she was singing. What people liked was her versatility."
Same. I thought Into The Woods was awful, I doubt the play was any better, and I usually find musicals to be repulsive so I guess we just have a different views.
this is true, people didnt really like her rendering because it never came close to Julie Andrews'
they were just caught off guard because they didnt know that she can somewhat sing
