Slojo 51 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 He's talking about C2C. He has said a number of times that he will only sing what he regards as "Quality" songs. He's saying that he steered Gaga towards quality songs (for the album) and she took his advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
popper 3 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Her pop music is really good quality though, maybe he means it in a different way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagasnip 0 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Jazz was the pop music of its day and was looked down on by much of the older generation at the time. So I'm not gunna beat Tony up about it , the man is 88. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee 2,528 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 if you steer someone towards something it means they are starting from a position of not being near that thing. by saying he steered her towards quality, it means that previously what she was doing was not quality. it can only possibly be in reference to her solo work. Doesn't steer mean like guiding and controlling the direction? Like he advocated for quality when recording? Knowing Tony AND having heard his previous interviews, it does not seem shady at all. He has said numerous times that the songs they recorded were a quality music of the Great American Songbook (aka Fred Astaire Songbook ). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth 450 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I'm sure he means well, but it would be nice of him to show some love for Gaga's own work. She has written exceptional, beautiful songs that speak to a lot of people. And she's given outstanding pop performances. Sometimes the response to C2C makes me feel like people act like Gaga was not really doing anything musically seriously worthwhile before, which ofcourse is not the case. Her work is quality. I agree with this, and it's one of my only qualms with Cheek to Cheek. Whilst it makes people who wouldn't have before appreciate her voice, it also means that her previous work is played down which I dislike because like you said, her work is quality and she has given many outstanding pop performance.

Deagan 608 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 He should've said something like "not that her previous music wasn't quality, but for me this jazz album is quality music". NUANCE! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haldy 1,258 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 he's getting too closeminded. POP MUSIC IS GOOD. Yeah I hope it's not Gaga's team feeding him to say 'she was bad with pop, she's finally GOOD with jazz'. Because... none of the fanbase are going to be enjoying that, lets be real.

ryhanna 3,507 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah I hope it's not Gaga's team feeding him to say 'she was bad with pop, she's finally GOOD with jazz'. Because... none of the fanbase are going to be enjoying that, lets be real. I think it's just more that he's not in touch with popular music. To him, the classic jazz music that he's been around his entire life and made for his entire career is quality music, not the electronic pop that's charting now and that Gaga makes. That's probably very foreign to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allison M 357 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 :awkney: He complements and shades her at the same time while also taking full credit for her being happy. Also as if pop music can't be good. I know he means well, but he's saying this a lot.I'll cut him some slack though. He has taught Gaga a lot. I just hope Gaga's not taking it like her previous work isn't of good quality. Or that the sole reason she's happy right now is because of Tony. I honestly think that she will get bored of performing jazz on the tour. Having her fans dressed formal and sitting in silence and her just standing. Lol she'll get bored. She wants to see her fans excited and raving and dressed crazy having fun and screaming HER lyrics. I think she'll start to miss us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
