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!

Yeah she is a bit weird and different but one thing for sure, she IS talented and has always had a certain appeal, at least to me. I love Tony Bennett probably because he loves and appreciates his audience as much as he loves to sing and sing he sure can! I have several of his albums including Duets and MTV Unplugged both of which are fantastic to anyone interested in hearing Tony singing with guest performers. I listen to both often, particularly the MTV Unplugged.

Thanks for the headsup Mofi, you reminded me that I need to order this one.

Tony Bennett is a NATIONAL TREASURE, simple as that.
If you want to hear the greatest "duo" album ever made get
the one Tony made with Bill Evans.

I saw Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recently on one of the late night talk shows. I like Tony, but his voice was pretty rough that night so I decided not to buy the CD. But maybe they used some studio magic to fix his vocals on the disc so I may reconsider and buy it. Thanks Guys!

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

My wife and I watched their performance on TV in our theater system - it was awesome!
Also, we learned that Lady GaGa is a great person - prior we too always thought her weird.
What a great pair and what a great performance! Thanks for the feedback on the album - now we'll get it!
And we both are looking forward to more from this duo!
