Maxine Puth 9,052 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Which song that Gaga has released do you prefer over more “iconic” versions? For me Tony and Gaga’s version of I’ve Got You Under My Skin is my favorite. The intro is just so blissful, and their chemistry really shines through and adds to what solo versions can’t do. Honorable mentions are Let’s Do It (mostly because of the production), and Bewitched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,514 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Love for Sale for sure! the iconic Billie and Ella's versions are slow and arrhythmic, I was very surprised by Gag and Tony's version bc I was expecting it to be slow too but they made that a BAWP Her version of White Christmas is great too, such unique phrasing plus the cute snowman verse she added. I like to sing a combination of Gaga and Ella's melodies because they go really well together :-) And she tears Orange Colored Sky to shreds, lit'rally blew the part back into Nat King Cole's hair I've taken a few dips in the lady pond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Diva 4,943 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Call Me Irresponsible (I'd say it's closest to Dinah Washington's version) Let's Do It I can't give you anything but love excuse me no Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 19,918 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, she gave it a whole other vibe compared to the other versions I heard. You popped my heart seams, all my bubble dreams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s what I love about so many of Gaga’s versions, many are very upbeat and provide a whole different experience to how they were performed in the 50s/60s. I love Gaga and Tony’s Love For Sale because when vocal artists do it it’s usually very mellow, but a lot of instrumental artists used to swing it (Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson). Also the sax solo in Gaga and Tony’s Love For Sale is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tone is just... *chef kiss* I feel like that's part of the reason why it was nominated for several Grammys , because the other instrumentalists get to shine as well, and their performances are really good too, by no means just filler around the vocals I've taken a few dips in the lady pond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
