I heard (and saw) amazing CD collaboration &#39;Cheek To Cheek&#39; with the forever hip Tony Bennett. Babe, you&#39;re channelling jazz greats and killin&#39; me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Was Cher ever slated to do a duet with Tony Bennett:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Tried. I love him. I was desolate. The song didn&#39;t work for both of our ranges. It&#39;s OK. Gaga and Tony Bennett knocked it out of the park&#8230;No-one could make me say anything that I don&#39;t believe, when it comes to art. Gaga sang her ass off! Pure heaven talent. F*ck haters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gaga of Cher:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>You know Cher, that level of support coming from you means more than you will ever know. Your confidence is the mark of a true legend. Love you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">and<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Trend it Monsters. Let&#39;s show Cher how much we appreciate her #MonstersLoveCher Now that&#39;s what I call class!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I have not listened to the track yet. I&#39;ve had in-laws visiting for a week and they took Mr. Cher Scholar and I ghost-hunting at the famous St. James Hotel in Cimarron, New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>But since I&#39;m not a Gaga fan, I&#39;ll turn to my friend Christopher&#39;s thoughts about her duet with Tony Bennett. As a Gaga fan, he felt her vocals there were anemic.<\/p>\n<p>He says,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&quot;I am quite surprised that her vocals are not more impressive, as she has a really strong and compelling singing voice and has comfortably tackled dance, R&amp;B and rock styles with equal skill. Here she just seems way out her element. Again, quite a surprise; she&#39;s so highly stylized in her approach to everything, and very insightful, it would seem that she would have the skill and vision to tackle this type of material. Guess not.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He goes on to talk about genre-hopping success by other artists he likes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&quot;Everyone has always ragged on Madonna about how she&#39;s &quot;not a great singer&quot; and this ultra-bland performance by Gaga reminds me of how effective and nuanced Madonna&#39;s vocals are on I&#39;m Breathless (the Dick Tracy album)&#0160;in which she very naturally&#0160;nails the period feel of the material. Gaga, on the other hand, doesn&#39;t seem to have any feel whatsoever in this instance. She barely makes an impression of any kind.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>I am all for musicians expanding their musical wheelhouse, but often the results are very misguided. It reminds me of Pat Benatar&#39;s blues album from 1991, Paying the Cost to Be the Boss, which is a noisy mess.&#0160; Pat is one&#0160;of my favorite artists of all time, but despite the extraordinary range of her voice, the blues idiom is just not a suitable fit for her (it didn&#39;t help that the songs themselves weren&#39;t very good either).<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Another example is Sinead O&#39;Connor&#39;s Am I Not Your Girl which is a covers album of&#0160;mostly torch songs. It&#39;s okay, but&#0160;overall rather lackluster (and terribly sleepy). The feral brilliance of her singing is almost completely muted here and she&#39;s just not that memorable as a balladeer;&#0160;the &quot;style&quot;&#0160;takes away all the interesting edges and peaks of her voice. To make matters worse, Am I Not Your Girl? was the follow-up to her globally dominating album I Do Not Want What I Haven&#39;t Got (with it&#39;s inescapable&#0160;#1 song &quot;Nothing Compares&#0160;2 U&quot;), so general fans were perplexed\/disappointed by the abrupt shift in gears and less than impressive results, while committed fans were probably more tolerant of the misadventure but still left scratching their heads. I would argue that this album definitely had a negative impact on her career, as it quashed her forward momentum creatively and commercially, a position she most&#0160;definitely couldn&#39;t afford to be in given that the album&#0160;followed so closely on her scandalous Pope-shredding stint on SNL.<\/em><br \/><em> &#0160;<\/em><br \/><em> I think perhaps the most versatile singer in rock is Linda Ronstadt. There is literally no genre I can think of in which she hasn&#39;t made numerous recordings of the very highest order. She&#39;s fluent, assured and commanding in pop, country, AC, full-out rock, torch, 50s\/60s Brill, New Wave, not to mention a full range of Mexican music styles in Spanish (She&#39;s half-Mexican. Shout out to Cher Scholar, who like Linda, was born in New Mexico!).<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Sheena Easton is another great example too. In fact, she is the only artist in music history to achieve Top Ten songs on the pop, R&amp;B, Adult Contemporary, Country and Dance charts (in fact,&#0160;in practically all these genres she&#39;s had <\/em>multiple Top Ten songs). Not even genre-hopping, hit-maker par excellence&#0160;Cher has accomplished this chart feat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Celene: I can honestly say that she can persuasively sing across any number of genres, including rock, dance, Motown, even reggae! She&#39;s pretty fearless in terms of taking on different genres; it&#39;s just that her label, Sony, is&#0160;like all record companies, always choosing singles in the same narrow lane once an artist has a hit&#8211;it&#39;s the don&#39;t rock the boat, baby mindset. It&#39;s too bad labels are not more courageous in this respect, although Sony did release her epic, fantastic rendition of Jim Steinman &quot;It&#39;s All Coming Back to Me Now,&quot; which was a&#0160;deservedly massive hit.&#0160;<\/em> <a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/cherscholar.typepad.com\/.a\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef01bb078a697f970d-popup\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"float: right;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Karen\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341d6c7753ef01bb078a697f970d img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6a00d8341d6c7753ef01bb078a697f970d-200wi.jpg?w=676&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"width: 178px; margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;\" title=\"Karen\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My friend Terry weighed in:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&quot;Individually I thought Gaga was &quot;okay&quot; and Tony was really good.
