Katie14 4,828 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Tony clearly has a lot of admiration for Gaga as a jazz singer. But I noticed in a few interviews that he seems to put down her own music, saying she appeals to teeny boppers and not saying this directly but basically implying that he thinks she is wasting her time with pop music when she is so talented as a singer. I don't remember exactly what words he used but that was the vibe I got. Then at their shows he says, "they ask me why I always sing old songs. I say its because I dont like the new ones". Kind of a slight jab at Gaga.Do you agree? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rat Boy 43,487 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 To be fair he just wants the best for her. I can see how EDM would be unappealing for someone like him. "****ing rat" - @Dynamite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sia Daily 2,045 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The "I don't like the new songs" quote is nothing to do with Gaga. I was at the Royal Albert Hall when he siad that and I never interpreted it that way at all.He loves her, she reminds him of his mommaaa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 109,366 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 No, it is HIS opinions of music, just like we do have our own.He did not said he hate or anything like that.No shade, no tea. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘢, 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfall 3,723 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I can understand if someone who is almost 90 doesn't like music of the 21st-century, but because Gaga loves Tony so much it also annoys me because I don't want Gaga to be a Jazz singer forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miky 9,487 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I don't like his previous statements which suggested that Gaga's music is not of high quality. Sometimes he should think before he speaks. Too many people here with moral superiority complex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 59,023 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 He said "I don't understand why she makes contemporary music, she's such a talented singer." I respect Tony's opinion but just because jazz is good doesn't mean EDM is bad. If it weren't for contemporary music, we wouldn't even be here, Gaga wouldn't even be this big. Plus Gaga doesn't just make basic ordinary pop music, Gaga makes ARTPOP, greatest EDM album of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 159,863 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I do remember him saying "I don't understand why she makes contemporary music, she's such a talented singer." But all in all he knows how great of an artist she is and knows what her music's about. He might now like how it sounds, but I'm sure he appreciates its soul. He did go to the artRAVE, after all 🌸Flourishing and vibrant🌼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He8MyHeart 9,765 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 We all have our own tastes. The most important thing is respecting a talented artist irrespective of their genre. Tony respects Gaga. That is all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is HIS opinions of music, just like we do have our own.He did not said he hate or anything like that.No shade, no tea.This. It's pretty common that people his age think like this.It's not about putting her music down, but he's probably sad that the world couldn't hear her stunning vocals before from all the autotune and edm production.
