Cheek to Cheek #11 Worst Album of the Year according to Slant Magazine

[Firestarter 0]

 

Here's their little description of the album:

 

"Lady Gaga fancies herself a renaissance woman, capable of shifting genres as ably as she changes Halloween costumes. And though she claims to have been singing "jazz" all her life, she overzealously belts through the standards on Cheek to Cheek like a precocious teenager performing show tunes at a high school talent show. The difference is that this amateur is backed by a team of admittedly competent, professional musicians and, of course, Tony Bennett, who, though not exactly in peak form here, manages to escape the whole charade almost unscathed. Almost. It's tempting to praise Gaga for wiping off the war paint, but that's like giving a lollipop to a toddler for not ****ting in the living room" Sal Cinquemani

 

The last sentence kinda hurts

who the fu@k gives a sh!t what slant says? The world overwhelmingly disagrees. 

 

P.S. Who does a list of 11? Usually it would be 10. Did they make it 11 just to include her?

Slant magazine is extremely pop oriented tho...

 

No one claimed that Gaga is a jazz legend like Elle Fitzgerald, her main objective was to introduce younger generations to jazz, and she is a decent jazz singer, she handles it pretty well, if she was a jazz singer, she would be not the best but one of the bests of her contemporaries(let's be honest there is a person called Michael Bublé) ... 

 

When it comes to music, I can understand favorising a standard but still there is nothing to be that harsh about. That is just music, no one kills anyone... 

If it goes that way, I am sure André Rieu can go to slant magazine's office, and can kill everyone with an automatic rifle for giving good reviews to ****ty music ...
