POLL: If Gaga were to make a second jazz album, would you be here for a collaboration with Michael Bublé?

[Bradley 59,023]

Well we know she is going to do another album with Tony, but I wouldn't mind if she did another Jazz album in the future that had a duet with Bublé. 

I wouldn't want a whole album with him though. My best friend in the world LOVES Bublé but isn't a fan of Gaga. It would be cool to have a duet we could both enjoy 

​If Gaga wants to delay the album, she delays the album. Gaga's mind changes every nanosecond. I actually highlighted your first sentence but this new font is driving me crazy.

Gaga is making another Jazz album, no?  Whether some "fans" like it or not.

With him though?  It has potential but Gaga has her ideas of who she wants to collab with .

​It's not very likely that she'll in any chance meet Michael Buble but I'm asking in the perspective of fans. However, Gaga had been meeting new artists that I've never thought she would have met in the ARTPOP era, so I think it's not that hard for them to hook up.

[Bradley 59,023]

This is actually a great idea

I'm not a great MB fan but he is good at what he does and puts on a great show just like Gaga. The two together would create so much energy it would be amazing to see and hear. Would be a whole different vibe to working with Tony which in itself is fantastic

​Yaasss! And Michael actually dances a little bit, so it would be very cute to see them together! Hope Taylor Kinney doesn't get jealous.

​There is no way in hell she is going to do another jazz album without Tony. Not at this point anyway, unless tragedy strikes and something terrible happens to Tony.

She loves making music with Tony, she is obviously very close to Tony and Tony is a legend. It would be crazy for her to make a jazz album without him at this point. It's just not even remotely feasible.

​Your implication

I just want to remind you that the second jazz album will not happen any soon, she has pop albums to go before we get jazz again. Things will change in years, we know Gaga rarely collaborates with someone twice so even if they have materials now, they can keep it for later and introduce the MichaelGa sound first.

I'm sorry, but there is noooo way she is going to do an album without Tony before any other Jazz project.
In terms of plans changing, she could get pregnant after the wedding and decide another Jazz album is easier before a pop album. I'm not saying that's likely, but it's not out of the realms of possibility.

Gaga/Bennett is hopefully going to become a well known period for her. One that is only strengthened by another album. 

I don't see her doing an entire duet album with another artist any time soon either. If she is not collaborating with Tony, I'm sure she will want to show that she can stand on her own two feet.

Like I said originally, I'm here for another Jazz project after she releases the album with Tony singing Cole Porter. I'm here for her doing one song with Bublè, but I'm not here for an entire album. She doesn't need people to carry her and she certainly shouldn't be jumping around from Tony Bennett to other artists. Her collaboration with Tony is special and it would only cheapen the legacy and relationship she is building with Tony to treat him like any old Jazz partner.

​How is collaborating with another artist cheapening Tony though? I actually think another Tony album will underperform compared to Cheek to Cheek because people already knew she can do jazz, it's not shocking anymore. People will get bored. We need new things.

[CannaeDrive 3,412]

With Gaga doing Jazz (among other NUMEROUS things), the possibilities can be quite exciting. So why not with M. Buble. Even tho I don't quite get his style of singing, I think it could be interesting to see how Gaga's influence could change his own vocal's ways and how they adapt to each other's styles. Moreover, I bet they will kill it live together on stage.

​A collaborative album with Tony Bennett is an honor. The man is a legend. 
Forget lame ass short-term sales (which, to be fair, I'm sure would still be fairly good) we are talking about a legacy here.

10-20-30 years from now people will look back on the time Gaga collaborated with her friend and mentor Jazz legend Tony Bennett. It seems extremely disrespectful, both professionally and personally, to disregard the incredible working relationship she has with Tony Bennett (who has personally expressed a strong desire to work with her again) in order to collaborate on an album with somebody she hasn't even met before.

I think you are sorely underestimating Gaga's relationship with Tony, who will be singing at her wedding, and undervaluing the opportunity Tony has given Gaga and what it means for her future.

Jumping from Tony to another artist makes Tony Bennett just another person she collaborated with. It doesn't do justice to their close relationship. To look back in years to come and see Gaga so closely associated with Tony Bennett is such an amazing thing for her career and is so important for her personally.

Tony is more than just some marketing ploy to give Gaga more Jazz credit. This is a genuine relationship built on mutual respect and admiration, he has opened her up to a whole new audience for Gaga and she has helped introduce a younger generation to Tony's music.

I still think a tour of Buble, Gaga, and Bruno as a new "rat pack" would kick a ton of butt

​I understand your point of view but you tend to view the music industry in an everything-for-benefit way. The reason I wanted Michael to collaborate with Gaga wasn't solely to boost Gaga's sales but also to purely enjoy the music itself. If we view things in a positive way, working with Michael isn't just to impress the audience or perform well on the charts, but to truly make music that they both deem great. She can always make a third jazz album with Tony. Why can't Michael establish a genuine friendship with Lady Gaga? That's also very possible, though I know they might not go as deep as Tony and Gaga's relationship.

I think if you really love music and you wanna see two artists work together and create awesome chemistry, you will want this to happen. This is coming from a fan who loves jazz not the hit singles/albums.

​Umm nope. That's actually what I perceive your thinking to be when you say stuff like:
 

"actually think another Tony album will underperform compared to Cheek to Cheek because people already knew she can do jazz, it's not shocking anymore. People will get bored. We need new things."

" I believe he can introduce the genre and the album to a whole new group of audience, thus benefiting Gaga in a different way Tony did. Not to mention Michael's supporters are usually from the GP including straight men and women. And we know Gaga with the GP + fans = TOTAL SLAYAGE."

"He has four Grammy awards, all from the category 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album'. His latest tour, To Be Loved Tour has already grossed $105,000,000 (the tour hasn't even ended yet) and his first tour, Crazy Love Tour grossed $130,000,000. He can definitely sell arenas with Gaga.

His JAZZ albums sales data:

Michael Buble - 3,000,000 copies worldwide

It's Time - 6,000,000 copies worldwide

Call Me Irresponsible - 5,000,000 copies worldwide

Crazy Love - 6,000,000 copies worldwide

Christmas - 9,300,000 copies worldwide

To Be Loved - 4,000,000 copies worldwide

The only bad thing about collaborating with Michael is that if Tony makes a new album as well, they'll have to compete with Tony at the Grammy awards, and we know Tony always wins Best Traditional Pop Vocal."
 

I enjoy the relationship Gaga and Tony have. It translates so well in their music and their performances and, as I have said, it is built upon mutual respect and admiration from each other.

It is an authentic relationship and collaboration that I would love to see more of. When you are, seemingly, trying to convince people that another Tony/Gaga album won't sell as well or that Bublè will make her sell better (except he might not win traditional album at the grammys with her! damn!) it is off putting. I would like a song in the future with him, but an entire album? I don't see anything substantial enough to warrant an album. 

It's these genuine moments with incredible icons like Tony Bennett that are something to treasure, they are not as disposable as you seem to be implying. 

I treasure the Gaga/Tony collaborations because it works. They make beautiful music, they clearly care deeply for each other and it's lovely to see Gaga being mentored, taught and encouraged by a musical icon. It's more important than any short-term sales and it's more important than any damn award.

Gaga and Tony should continue to collaborate because they are close friends who respect each other and make great music. Whether you care to admit it or not, it would be disrespectful for her to use Tony and then find some other Jazz singer to perform with. You don't seem to be appreciating and treasuring the incredible opportunity for her and you don't seem to be appreciating the close bond of both artists.

Tony is just not disposable.  

Do you want Gaga do build a legacy that consists of her collaborating with whoever she can get her hands on? Or do you want her to build a legacy that involves authentic collaborations that are rooted in friendship and respect? I know what I prefer. 

[Bette Davis 12,742]

If she did her own album of jazz duets with various artists and she did one song with Bublé, then why not. A whole album with Bublé, no thanks.

Im a huge jazz fan, I listen to it all the time but there's something about his voice that I don't like. 

Honestly though, if she's going to do jazz should should do a solo album covering heartbreaking, dark, haunting songs by Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan. 

[RAMROD 109,354]

Yes, also this guy from UK, Jammie Cullum.
