Its Tony Bennet and Lady Gaga doing, the Lady is a Tramp. For those of you who doubt her talent, she belts this one out. I never heard her sing this well before.

That, and i am listening to Duke Ellington From his 1955 Album Ellington Uptown.

Gaga is a surprising artist. You look at her and think all she's got going for her is the gimmick of her outlandishness. But when she cuts the crap and just sings, she's amazing. There aren't a lot of pop stars (IMO) who actually have real singing talent, but damn it she sure does.

This is the video that first convinced me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvib07TvJ1w

I've sang with some acappella groups before and I know firsthand from some of the girls in those groups who sucked that it's tough to stay on key when you don't have some sort of instrumental melody to follow. And not only is her intonation spot on, but she takes risks while she's at it and succeeds brilliantly.

I'm glad someone else sees this in her.

somewhere out there is a video of her at a NYU talent show, where she plays piano, its really awesome as well.
