He's a country music legend. He's also going to cover Shallow soon with his wife and watch Shallow rise everywhere when his cover is released Wow good for him! It's just that when I hear the word "icon" I think of someone who had HUGE impact like Madonna, Michael, Bowie.... I guess they are basing this on success and that's okay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladygagalover 604 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This is huge. He’s going to be releasing his cover of Shallow, probably to coincide with the show. That will be even more publicity and awareness for Gaga and her brand going into Grammy season! Gaga will definitely be there and will be performing.

I had heard the name before and was curious to know more, only to find out all of what I mentioned before in this thread. Not only is this deserved, it's overdue. They waited for him to sell an unbelievable 157M albums, almost all of them pure album sales, to give him this? "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends.

Just that we all should be aware and cognizant of his career achievements before we (in general) go around throwing shade at the best selling solo artist in US history. He more than deserves this.

KORG 4,756 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 911 pop emergency! He is about to release a cover of Shallow. He might perform it here. The song that just lives on and on and on. He is HUGE by the way, youngsters. Imagine if Gaga, Arianna, Drake, Rihanna and the weeknd collaborated. Thats garth Brooks in his genre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
