Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett are endearing duet partners at North Sea Jazz – NU.nl

Currently, the American singer on tour with the aged Tony Bennett, who broke through the middle of the swing era with idols such as Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. The collaboration began when Gaga was in 2011 in duet with Bennett The Lady Is A Tramp .

Last year, the two even brought a full duet album called Cheek To Cheek . Perhaps a strange turn of Lady Gaga to distance itself after three pop albums of radio-friendly hit parade stuffing and throwing himself on the repertoire which mostly old pop artists their careers trying to give a boost.

But like everything seems this an artistic statement by Lady Gaga. The front rows are filled with Monsters, Gaga as her fans affectionately calls. Or they expect a full show with jazz standards, is difficult to estimate. Those who come for hits like Poker Face and Just Dance in any case deeply disappointed.



Outfits

In any case, the Lady Gaga great interest, even among the regular visitors of North Sea Jazz. The show opens with the swinging Anything Goes , which is a prelude not only for the half hour songbook songs that follow, but also an appropriate way to qualify Gaga’s outfits.

We see Lady Gaga with her trademark golden blonde haircut in a fancy glitter dress standing on stage next to Bennett, dressed in a suit. After a few songs Lady Gaga disappears into the wings to return after a solo song by Bennett in another, often extravagant dress for a duet.



Fill

Changing the dresses the duration of the action goes on, making it sometimes seems as if Bennett has been hired to fill the breaks. It is also to criticize the public interest fades when he stands alone on stage. Most of the crowd comes to Lady Gaga.

Perhaps that is also justified. Tony Bennett may well be an icon in the genre, but his voice sounds fragile and jaded. Logically, as the best man thick in the 80′s and next to a wisecracking, vital and vocal excellence Lady Gaga is the old master, no doubt unintentionally, completely blown away.



Giddy

From the pop hits which we know her, her vocal talent is not clearly explain whether proves Lady Gaga at North Sea Jazz once again how versatile her voice is. She coos sensual in Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) , has a beautiful falsetto in Nature Boy and convinces scattered with dazzling play.

In addition to the total artist Lady Gaga, the stiff moving Bennett puts a bit off like a cheesy variety artist at a fair. But what they are an endearing couple. This gives the old boss arranged a hug or a kiss defiantly clad Lady Gaga. Mutual respect is disarmingly
