DiamondHeart326 261 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I so badly want her to cover what'll I do by Irving Berlin it's such a beautiful song and as far as standards go it's 100% my favorite jazz standard and possibly my favorite song ever just cuz of how beautiful the lyrics are if you don't know it YouTube it! There's many great versions, alison Krauss has a beautiful version and for all my gays this is the song Bea Arthur sings in the golden girls in the episode where blanche drags her to the rusty anchor and dorothy completely steals her thunder. Bea totally nailed the emotion of the song too. Gaga's voice is MADE for this song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT 2,104 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Not to diss her voice on C2C, I think it's outstanding, but if anything I think her voice is slightly better in these snippets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyaKara 2,272 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I actually teared up watching this. Gaga has come such a long way. I'm glad that she and Tony were able to have this amazing friendship during their lifetimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magui 2,600 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 What's to say about this....just makes me smile. Watched it with a big heart warning smile on my face. Like some of you guys said the joy that singing jazz brings to Gaga is priceless and contagious. It's's truly awesome that they were able to record this when Tony was in better condition. One last peace of artwork for this great man and artist. And I truly, truly hope that Gaga continues to sing jazz. It's for sure one of the things that makes very happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said it comes off as weird to me since she isnât really in the modern jazz scene at all or collaborating with the people doing the things she wants the genre to do. Idk to me itâs a little patronizing towards the insanely hard work of the musicians who are creating the tremendous scene there is today. Itâs well-intentioned, but I think itâs a message that is ultimately a little tone deaf. She meant that Jazz music is not being shown appreciated enough on todayâs musical scene. Like on which of the current popular singers does that? They always sings RnB, Hip-Hop, POP, etc.  Obviously there are still Jazz musicians on todayâs era but they are not being highlighted for so whatever reason and HER putting out albums like this is actually helpful to the whole Jazz community to pique some of the GPâs interest. Sheâs not saying that Jazz music starts and ends with her.  And Tony is actually the first Jazz musician to make a sound during the 2010âs with his collab not only with Gaga but with many more artists like Amy Winehouse and etc.  Itâs disgusting that her pure intention to promote Jazz which will also help the Jazz community and its artists is being lambasted.

Disgusting? Jeez take a breather lmao I said what I said because what Gaga is doing is a *very* specific kind of jazz. Doing the American songbook is as about as traditional and âclassicâ as it gets. Thatâs fine. Thatâs great. But what it doesnât really do is engage too much with the modern jazz scene where wildly experimental and new music is being made all the time. It doesnât have to, but then in that same way, I think itâs a little unfair to position yourself as someone who is this head honcho big shot in the genre like she is pop and paint yourself as someone saving a genre or at least advocating to when what she does isnât really even promoting what the genre is rn.  A person can have great intention and still make mistakes. I didnât call her any names or demean her, I simply said that her statements came off as a bit patronizing to those who are actually really steeped in the genre rn and have made careers of it. It doesnât need saving by someone popping in from time to time who doesnât really invest much effort in elevating the modern scene. Thatâs not a read, she invests her time in preserving the past. Thatâs totally cool, but I felt her statements were conflating the two a bit even if unintentionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
