He was 60 years older than me, and he would flinch less than young people that I would meet. People that would be like, &#8216;Why is she dressed that way? Why is she singing that way? Why is her stage performance so theatrical?&#8217; Tony, he just never even flinched. He was just a really compassionate, inclusive person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gaga&#8217;s &#8216;Joker 2&#8217; inspired album &#8216;Harlequin&#8217; was the first time she recorded standards without Tony but she insisted it wasn&#8217;t sad and she felt him with her in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8220;This was my first time without Tony and it wasn&#8217;t emotional probably in the way you&#8217;re thinking. It wasn&#8217;t sad. It was actually like he was with us all the time. And also, in a funny way, if I had put rock and roll chords over production in a record that I did with Tony years ago, I don&#8217;t know how he would&#8217;ve felt about that. Tony didn&#8217;t love rock and roll. But he would&#8217;ve said &#8216;Wow that&#8217;s amazing&#8217;. He was definitely with us in the studio but he was mostly inside of me. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;As genre defying as the album is, the vocal is too. The vocal&#8217;s kind of schizophrenic but that makes sense for Harley Quinn. And that was part of the joy of making it &#8211; the freedom of it all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/lady-gaga-says-tony-bennett-always-admired-risks-took-1407033.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>28 September 2024 Lady Gaga says Tony Bennett always admired the risks she took in her career.
