No monsters there = no crazy dressed people. They probably based their judgement on that.

What I think as well, silly journalists tbh

This isn’t to say Lady Gaga is having us on.  Arriving onstage in a blinding silver pantsuit, she let her young backing band, the Bryan Newman Quintet, stretch out some on an extended intro to Cher’s Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) and rode its Latin vamp arrangement like she owned it.

Solo, her performance was as spot on as Bennett’s. She is a born entertainer.

That is the underlying drive of Cheek to Cheek too. As a recording — sales aside — it’s just another well-crafted visit to the hotlist of the Great American Songbook. Live, it’s a study of two very different New York City singers, with undying respect for the classics, having a blast and sharing it with an adoring audience.

At 25-plus numbers, nobody went home wanting and the back and forth solo and duet arrangement of the set list have ample room for each artist to spin their personal styles into the group effort. This also kept it interesting from an interpretive angle as Bennett’s backing band is a study in subtlety while Gaga’s needed to strut some.

They could do this again and probably make equal bank and Grammy nods. The concert was fun and pretty awesome to see a Second World War veteran selling out a show on Memorial Day.

Great review!!! Sounds like the audience loved Gaga and Tony!
