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!

****If it were not for good engineering they especially Bennett would be washing dishes. ****

It's comments like this that make me wonder what universe some live in. Tony Bennett, as Schubert and others have pointed out, in spite of not being anywhere near his prime has what the vast majority of singers today lack: class and the ability to project joy of singing with respect for the audience; not as if he is doing the audience a favor which is what many other singers project. He is the kind of performer that even if he had no singing voice left at all would still be able to get the message of the song across.
