On his new album, “Duets II,” legendary crooner Tony Bennett works with scores of talented artists — but it’s doubtful any have quite the pop-culture cred of Lady Gaga.
Noel Gallagher — Jealous: Check; No Holds Barred: Double Check. But has he got a point?
Former Oasis Noel Gallagher — Yep, the same cranky Brit that created a firestorm of controversy when rapper Jay-Z was tipped to headline the Glastonbury Music Festival a few years ago — is turning his ire on Lady Gaga. According to Gallagher, the native New York is a talentless hack, whose career is based on “meat suits” and “controversy.” The “AKA, What A Life” singer thinks the ‘Bad Romance’ star is good at getting attention, but doubts her music will stand the test of time.
At this weekend’s iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, Lady Gaga performed an emotional rendition of her song “Hair,” and dedicated it to the memory of Jamey Rodemeyer.
Before she was “Mother Monster,” Lady Gaga was just Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta: Another ecstatic 22-year-old providing her flesh as a painting canvas for former L.A. Ink star Kat Von D.
Have you heard? Outre singer Lady Gaga lends her vocals to a cover of the 1937 standard “Lady is a Tramp” with Tony Bennett. The tune is featured on Bennett’s new LP, Duets II, which dropped in celebration of the crooner’s 85th birthday earlier this month. The album also features Bennett’s collaboration with the late Amy Winehouse, “Body & Soul.”
