Tony Bennett shows he — not Gaga — is the main attraction
Quote:
Although Bennett and Gaga are billed as equals during this tour (which repeats at the venue on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday), Bennett felt very much like the main attraction. His collaboration with Gaga on last year’s jazz collection “Cheek to Cheek” has introduced him to another generation of fans, but Bennett isn’t pandering to the new flock. The famous croon may have thinned a little with age, but his abundant class and armful of classics are as immovable as ever.

At points, Gaga’s solo sections turned almost confessional. The New Yorker is treating her time performing with Bennett as a much-needed vacation, and using the opportunity to show off her jazz and classical training. “When we say goodbye to ourselves, that’s the worst thing,” she admitted before singing Cole Porter’s ballad “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye.” In light of her troubled campaign to support the character-less 2013 album “ARTPOP,” it wasn’t difficult to understand what Gaga (or perhaps, Stephanie Germanotta) was hinting at.
but WAIT

She also stopped to pay a tearful tribute to her vocal teacher (sitting just feet away in the second row) before bringing down the house with an astonishing take on Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life.” At certain points, she held the microphone at stomach level and yet, Gaga’s voice still managed to overwhelm the 6,000 strong, sold-out crowd. Grade A stuff, by any teacher’s standard.
Actually I didn't, I just read your headline and decided to make that truthful statement hahah
I mean, it seems like someone who generally dislikes her found something positive to say. Which is cool enough I guess.
let gaga shine a bit king
