Ryan Reid 173 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 An interesting "common thread" I've noticed in Gaga's post-ARTPOP work is that she has been literally SHOWERING us with cover songs. Obviously, the entire 'Cheek to Cheek' album and concerts were covers of the Great American Song Book. But it goes much further beyond that. Aside from "Til It Happens to You", the last 18 months of her career have been filled with 100% cover songs. I'm not sure exactly what statement she's trying to make, but it's absolutely not a coincidence. Here's a run down of all that I can recall: - Chic "I Want Your Love" (1978)- Andrea True Connection "More More More" (1976)- John Lennon "Imagine" (1971)- Edith Piaff "La Vie En Rose" (1945) + Grace Jones (1977)- Sting "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" (1993)- Stevie Wonder "I Wish" (1972)- The Sound of Music (1965)- Cher "Bang Bang" (1966)- 4 Non Blondes "What's Up" (1994)- Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" (1992) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip 5,100 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 She's singing covers because she's carefully preparing her new music and she has nothing left to sing :\ That's all my mind can build up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Reid 173 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 And the song she covered from Stevie Wonder was "I Wish" Whoops - you're right!! Corrected the OP. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warholian 6,880 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 When did she cover I Will Always Love You and More More More? More More More from her Instagram wasn't her voice. Kevin Parker, Mac Demarco, Mark Ronson, and a stoned Lady Gaga. Need I say more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronlop 6,882 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think this is just because she wants the fans to get to know to classic songs!Gaga did say that if you respect the artists that were before you in the past, then artists in the future will respect you. I think her main goal right now is to change her image from someone who is purely commercial based to an image of someone who is passionate about art. And any kind of art.
