LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 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. Yes. He seems really old fashion, but kind. He reminds me of my grandparents. Bless him. I'm sure generations from now some of us will be saying the same thing. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monketsharona 65,604 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 In other words : The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way and ARTPOP are sh*t ! I really hope she's going to return to pop even if I love CtC ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyPrince 237 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Who's letting Tony do all these interviews? Not him lowkey dragging her past work smh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 In other words : The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way and ARTPOP are sh*t ! I really hope she's going to return to pop even if I love CtC ! In other words: No. He never said that. Basically Tony is from a different generation and he has devoted his entire life to one genre of music. He feels that it has music of a higher quality than that of current pop music. This is his opinion, not Gaga's and he isn't saying anything about her past albums. Gaga has already said she will continue to do Pop music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterOfSpain 8,281 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If I can appreciate jazz music he can appreaciate pop too Go listen to ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Mess at the shade evethough he probably didn't mean it that way. Jazz music was the Pop music of the 20s, the 30s and the 40s. It's just that he is old and it's obvious that he can't get the music of today. Lady Gaga said in the very beginning of her career that Pop music will never be low brow. She is still following that quote through her career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLuna 12,732 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 We shouldn't hold it against Tony. He's 88, so of course pop music is probably not his thing. He could've chosen his words a little more carefully, but I think he still means well, we know how much he loves and respects Gaga as an artist, he wouldn't have recorded an entire jazz album with her if he didn't.

ByeBye49 161 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think he means that Gaga has found herself again and is ready to put 100% back into her work. I don't think it's Jazz Vs Pop or anything. I could be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativenewyorker 1,190 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Do you think he actually listened to all of her albums? And if he did, why would an 88 year old jazz singer prefer electronic dance music over jazz? Stop over reacting. Obviously he's gonna think jazz is better than modern pop music.

Echo 326 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Oh man, this thread's gonna get messy. Let me just say that our perception of quality is probably much, much different to that of an 88 year old jazz legend. And he definitely encouraged her to be her best. This but I see it's too late beacause a lot of you are pressed. He's such a nice guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLuna 12,732 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 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. That's a very good point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanceInTheFlames 154 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't think he meant it that way, and he could have been misquoted or it was taken out of context. I mean he went to see her shows. Obviously her pop music isn't is thing, but that doesn't mean he think she isn't talented or that what's she's doing is "bad".
