Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett - Interview on CBS Sunday Morning 21.09.2014

[@stephenl6758]

Watching this again after the 60 minutes piece on Tony’s Alzheimer’s battle and just show with Gaga. It was so tough to watch him deteriorate, but so wonderful to watch their friendship.

[@dragospahontu]

Yup

[@TheChessPlayer1956]

Their friendship fed them both beautifully. RIP Tony.

[@Dillard2012]

This totally made me cry. This is why I love Lady Gaga so much. She is a true artist and musician in all aspects of the work. There is no one like her. She is going to be around for a very long time. ARTPOP was such a success. It helped me celebrate life and changed my life in so many ways. She continues to inspire me every single day. I don't care about album sales. I still listen to ARTPOP every single day. All of her music is timeless. People will one day respect ARTPOP because it did change so many lives.

[@fonzo4551]

i agree completely!

[@Fishruq]

Shame! I too cried.. And also gaga should move on. She is a moving masterpiece

[@josephvu9913]

And Tony Bennett singing with her ? That's amazing.

[@bayvillagebug]

She cares so much. I love who she is.

[@geebee3563]

I got to the party late. This is 2020. Her music is wonderful, but her time with Tony Bennett is a blessing to the world. Shown was so much mutual respect & love. The wonderful thing is that their music bridges generations. You are both blessed.

[@Es1am]

They try to bring The great ones down but she won't Fall cuz she has something that others don't and that's TALENT

[@michaelthomas9790]

EXACTLY! That and she actually has heart with her work.

[@gravityddd]

[@5ty6]

Michael Thomas

[@MegaSickcat]

Tony Bennett's voice has never wavered in all the years he's been singing. Lady Gaga's voice blends so well with his...Love watching them singing together.

[@gabrielortiz2936]

i cried when Gaga said she wanted to be happy, i am in a very lost place in my life and i also want to be happy. doing things that make me happy.

[@TheNeworleanswoman]

Gaga and Tony Bennett were magic together. What a beautiful friendship. What a wonderful collaboration. I’m glad they found each other.

[@pamelaoliver8442]

Their collaboration was...is..a gift to us all

[@TheNeworleanswoman]

@@pamelaoliver8442 I agree. A beautiful friendship and collaboration.

[@angelitocat1]

The way she says "I just want to be happy" breaks my heart...it's so cute and just heartbreaking to know that she wasn't feeling happy all the time. I love you Gaga :)

[@pedro6720]

Angel Ramirez like all humans do, but sometimes you realize is the only medicine we need, Happiness

[@josephbsearch]

I seldom cry over people I do not know. But I did over the joy these two Angels share. Love them both with great respect.

[@TheNeworleanswoman]

Their relationship was beautiful. She was so tender with him.

[@TheRBM12]

I'm crying over this interview.

[@N0pretence]

me too

[@shiukaheng71]

Gaga has successfully broke your heart to let you buy her new albums.

[@constantineh.4389]

SAME! LMFAOOO "this is the demon" "YEAH" "have you seen gaga being topped?" "MANY MANY TIMES" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Eviebopper]

I love how he asked him “were you a good singer?” And he said “yes” point blank. NOTHING wrong with believing in your talent and betting on yourself! Look at where that self respect and confidence took him.

[@Wildcat5181]

I hope you find your happiness, Lady Gaga. You're the sweetest and you're the best.

[@harloww88]

I'll stick by lady gaga any day. One of the main reasons I came to love her in the first place was because of the versatility of her music. I have loved everything single album and mini album, not because it had a single quality of gaga-ness to it, but because each album was a unique reflection of Gaga's many qualities. And I suppose it helped that I've always loved jazz, since years before Gaga even debuted, so I have a deep appreciation for cheek to cheek. If just broke my heart to see Gaga in this interview.

[@JL-zn7me]

Gaga is so real, so accepting, so loving and an incredible talent beyond words! I’m on her side forever.

[@talap16]

i love how Stefani and Tony have such a genuine and deep connection that wasn't just business, a friendship actually bloomed. I love that he was there to help her through her demons. In short their connection is just lovely like an old married couple.

[@DerekNguyen]

That part about her ARTPOP album and her giving up and manger and saying she wants to be happy melted my heart so much! I really wish she was even more happy ! And ARTPOP in my world is a huge suggest ! It's not about the charts and being number ! It's being free through art and music !

[@Fishruq]

Yeah! Who cares about those boring stupid charts! I mean seriously, billboard doesn't quite knows what music is right now. After making nicki minaj stupid song anaconda number two and the beautiful applause masterpiece at number 36, that seriously doesn't make sense

[@TheEdgarmm2000]

I'm so glad that Gaga is happy singing jazz. A true fan would want their idol to be happy

[@humanoidhooker]

i didn't understand the relationship between gaga and tony , but with this interview i understand everything , in a way i feel that tony is reflected in gaga 60 years ago and he is kinda like her dad and he is giving her all the advices that he needed when he was younger and i fell sad about the troy thing but i know that gaga never gonna be in the same place that she was 2 albums ago but i know that she is gonna be bigger than the "old gaga" pawsup

[@Eviebopper]

Tony Bennett is also a straight up gentleman and would probably encourage any young person along their path to follow their passion. He also had a deep respect for Amy Winehouse and never got a chance to really reach her, so I believe that with Lady Gaga he wanted to make sure he did it right and be there for a young talented artist and make sure they go on a good path

[@Natasha-nr4uw]

This was the crossroads between ARTPOP to Cheek To Cheek. Previous people who’ve worked with her sued her, her manager left her, the media scrutinized her career and singing Jazz reminded her what was important which was her talent.

[@antonionardella5020]

Well to be honest.. only by accident I started listening to Lady Gaga.. Truly top singer.. Would be my dream to meet her .. Perhaps chat in Italian.. What a voice fantastic.

[@nikolasnester8850]

There's something about Gaga's voice when she sings live that really connects with me. I don't really know how to explain it, but I feel like hearing her sing jazz or live acoustic performances like the Dope performance allows me to feel all her pain and emotions. This is why this album means so much to me and I'm glad it's making her happy, because her voice is really the only thing that gets me through hard times. I'll always love you, Gaga. Paws up!

[@cleatfeet]

You've got good taste my friend!

[@Wooley689]

I'm from the little bit older crowd but this Gaga has such a fantabulous voice, it's beautiful and pulls you in. This lady has amazing talent that she is only now letting the world see, thank you so much To Mr. Bennett for seeing through and helping her express herself in the way we may not have seen.

[@kalospsofos]

More people need to watch this interview especially the fans that take everything “non pop” for granted. I’ll forever be by your side Gaga. I love u

[@janetbeebe6578]

It's ok to cry, it's human. One day we will lose Tony, but Lady Gaga will keep his memories and music alive.

[@michaelgiaquinto3295]

❤ that day has happened now we must look at her to keep his memory alive and Music

[@HiThereLindsey]

Omg her voice is just beautiful!

[@SpYx626]

So beautiful. This made me cry.

[@agustinasilva2335]

Gaga is the person, artist that you will not find so easily. I'm so proud of her. Love her till the end

[@briza2022]

''thank you for giving me a demon''lol. It was hilarious.

[@pedro6720]

CLAU , yeah, like a imagine them burning it after time, because you know, why keep the demon?

[@Luna_and_Miles]

They have such a beautiful friendship, and he's such a wonderful mentor for her. Wonderful interview. I hope she has a long and wonderful career. She's very sensitive. Tony Bennet is amazing.

[@xzxnndghsjjjj]

I love her and her honesty. I adore her. I love Cheek to Cheek it makes me happy. I will always stand by GAGA no matter what

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

It's amazing how mentorship and the wisdom if elders can influence a person's life. The relationship they've fostered and the quality and integrity of the art they create together tugs at the heart and feeds the soul, indeed.

[@TheScheisseMonster]

I don't understand why people target ARTPOP about album sales, if you look at everyone's album sales in the past few years, you can see a general decrease in sales in the last year or two. People aren't buy albums as much as they used to and prefer to illegally download them and only Gaga gets criticized for album sales because the public chooses to illegally download music.

[@kli5893]

so true. rihannas last 3 albums, for example have sold not more than 3-4 million after a year. gaga sells 2.5 m in a half year and the media says she is over, just because she had 20 million and 8 million before.

[@tonita88]

JLO's new album flopped but people are not so interested in her failure as much as they are with Gaga. People dubbed her the new queen of pop and with that title came a very high standard which she sadly did not meet. Although the album still sold well, people expected her to break records because that's what she's known for. Literally every pop star back in 2009 changed their styles, made crazy music videos and named their fan bases when Gaga did it. Remember at the VMA's where everyone dressed up crazy like anime cartoon characters, Gaga performed as a man in regular clothes. That shows how much of a game changer she is. I hope with this new influence from Tony Bennett, she gets her groove back.

[@Paras_Kaltsas]

Kenny Li Rihanna never sold well though

[@Paras_Kaltsas]

tonita88 LOL Gaga's album sold 2.500.000 and JLo's 250.000 .. Gaga's album ddn't fail at all

[@xFlight666x]

I bought four two for me two for my friend. It didn't flop just didn't go crazy

[@carolcheny]

I totally can relate to her. 100%. As a jazz singer I hear a lot of arguments about whether Lady Gaga can sing jazz. I dare any jazz singer to tell me that someone who loves this music doesn't deserve to sing it. I don't ever listen to her pop music, and as a jazz musician, I insist that she can sing jazz. And she's an excellent performer. Does she sing like Ella Fitzgerald? No. But why does that matter?

[@cleatfeet]

you're totally right. you can't compare other people to the likes of Ella and others. Lady Gaga (by the way, I really think she should have used her real name on this album) has her own great vocals which also can't be rivaled. although, I do sort of compare her to someone like Diana Krall.

[@elikat1987]

If only there was more people who think like you in this world...

[@Eviebopper]

Exactly. Why tear someone down? Especially when they’re trying to shine a light on a genre that younger generations aren’t aware of. Just let it be what it is and don’t expect her to be Ella Fitzgerald 😂

[@noahthesaintx]

Cried by eyes out...loving Cheek to Cheek 10x more now that I know the beauty behind it

[@kimbabloom]

God I love that girl. Grounded, intelligent, talented beyond measure...all that and so much more in one sweet person. I hope she is and continues to be happy because she sure as hell has brought happiness to so many people. She's got nothing to prove because she's the real deal. Always has been, always will be. She gives so much in every performance and adores her fans to pieces. She lives her truth and that's soooooooo refreshing.

[@Marystarr0209]

Seeing such a beautiful woman with such raw talent break down just hit my heart. She has impacted my life more than I can even begin to understand and to see her be so vulnerable just makes me want to hug her. I love you Gaga♡♡

[@MariahiDontCarey]

This interview made me cry I do want her to be happy even if it means not being on top anymore I care for her happiness

[@carolnelson8459]

I hope Lady Gaga continues to make jazz albums!! I LOVE her voice in these types of songs!

[@PedroBecerra97]

Lmao Tony when she gave him the demon painting he was probably like wtf stefani I don't wanna die

[@pedro6720]

Pedro Becerra like she was passing the curse to him

[@bernlin2000]

What a lovely angel to visit Tony in the twilight of his life...just extraordinary. Lady Gaga gets so much respect for her range of work.

[@JudasManifesto]

This interview made me love Gaga a thousand times more than I already so. So strong. ♥

[@jordanpotter1237]

I love their relationship and how they are trying to help each other. That's what true artists do. I think Lady Gaga is a genius and people expect her to do whatever it is they want to hear. She's so talented and deserves to create what she wants to!

[@poliannialmeida9371]

I thank Tony every single day for holding and taking care of Gaga when she literally broke down... she’s now very open about her mental and chronic pain issues and looking back, when she was suffering from that, Tony were there... he saved her life, and she says that all the time

[@ShikataGaNai100]

A fine lady and a fine gentleman. Two American Masters.

[@javiermorales2860]

I love Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga singing together. I have one of the CDs love them beautiful music.

[@Lynne-G]

Such a heartfelt interview, had tears in my eyes listening to this, especially because it was so so genuine. That's how it touched me and made me feel.

[@VodkaMouth]

These two are too cute together! Can't wait to get the album on Tuesday, I won't listen to it until the CD is in my hands

[@prasannafy]

really breaks my heart to know how cruel and greedy some people can be ! ARTPOP was actually the best album of her in my opinion.BUT it was the general public and the media that put so much NEGATIVE impression about the album that made me question everytime I listen to this album "is this album really good?". When in reality gaga believed so much in this album ! I am happy that she is happy with cheek to cheek.

[@lauraparry5286]

Such a beautiful interview. They are both just so amazing. I love how much love and respect they have for each other. I hope Gaga never ever feels like she is no good or not wanting to make music again. Knowing she felt like that made me feel very sad. I'll always have her back!

[@Sabrina-jm4dc]

You dont need a formula...love your music Gaga...just keep singing.

[@JL-zn7me]

Mr. Tony Bennett has given us his voice and talent for so many years! His one of a kind voice can make all your worries and troubles completely disappear! To the man, romantic, legend, icon and smile… WE will remember for you and generations for years and years to come will know who Tony Bennett is- the man with magical music running through his veins! He IS music. You’re absolutely unforgettable! I have such a respect and love for Tony Bennett and I’m so blessed to have seen him up close. Please keep smiling and singing, you are such a gift to this world!

[@marymanuel-fortes6276]

Love this interview. To Tony Bennett - with love. xx To the Lady Gaga with love xx

[@cindyslavik5391]

Omg I’m so happy she is where she is today. 💜

[@kifflom4032]

Such respect for one another how did I sleep on this album.

[@clairemf2724]

I was in rehab for 3 months and the only thing i brought was the cheek to cheek cd.

[@vinu1nair]

Oh this is such a great interview :) thank you Tony , you are not just a great musician :) love the way he took care of Lady Gaga :) :)

[@sereen.]

Very truthful interview. You can tell she went through A LOT. I am starting to put small steps in becoming a music artist and I damn sure want to be an independent one (knowing how difficult it will be). The point is that music is also a business, where, because of passion, you tend to easily give everything to people who maybe respond to their own business needs and, just simply, don't feel you as much as you might do with them. Anyway, she is already moving on; I hope she keeps this way, 'cause she totally deserves it!

[@TvPiggay]

Omg all the emotions 😭 Love you gaga forever and always . xo

[@karenhunt1556]

I love lady Gaga and Tony Bennett is a classic. so it's so nice to see these two stars together.

[@oinamtv]

No one can let her down! The QUEEN GAGA! ❤️ The sweetest and creative artist in the world! She and herself a total package of a masterpiece of art. Much love 🇵🇭 🇦🇺😍

[@dorff09]

An exceptional duet that exposed the musicality and vocal instrument of each icon in music. I agree with 'Frank"...Tony is our best!

[@Qrayon]

All I can say is Wow!

[@leachristine5264]

Watching this after some of her darkest ARTPOP moments and just really remembering what Tony did for Gaga. He gave her such a safe space to love music again. No one will ever be like them. On the surface they may have seemed worlds apart but they both “got it” just the same. What a gift we were able to get Love For Sale. They were true soulmates.

[@McAmberlee]

Two souls, just destined to meet and lift each other up. Beautiful

[@ellenskey9135]

I'm a beautiful fan of Tony because I love his music I love the jazz musicians the concertos are enourmous here and I am glad I grabbed the mic when I was just a kid It gave me the strength to perform more but I try not to, I listen.

[@Bulldog-bt5dx]

I'm not easily impressed when it comes to new artists, but I can still remember the first time I watched Gaga live. In 2009, at the VMA's, her performance of Paparazzi made me a fan instantly. I remember I watched the show that night just to see her perform because I loved hearing Just dance & Poker Face play on the radio. Since then, Gaga has managed to hold my attention. She's the only ARTIST to do this. She's the most genuine artists in the business today & I'll support her for the rest of her career. It's not about the wigs and outfits for me anymore, I know she has talent. I'm not worried about Gaga, she'll be around for a long time.

[@stephenhardy6340]

So beautiful! These two genuises are so perfect for each other the respect, love and worship shown for each other is palpable! I find that cry each time I watch them preform! It's pure art , raw emotion between generations of performers. Timeless and ageless, RAW TALENT an appreciation between generations! So special and precious!

[@Hippokrates9]

Thank you for these charming, remarkable interviews. They are so beautiful together which proves that age is just a number. You can find your soulmate regardless of time

[@Ellenw1122]

HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY TONY !! You're Amazing !!

[@bean289]

Tony is going to make a birthday album featuring Gaga also I'm so excited

[@BDTTK9]

I love this, why can't it be longer

[@bbbbbbbbbb0]

There’s something so warm and tender about Tony 😢💕

[@MT-tx7bu]

I'm watching this now and I'm thinking to myself, she's a legend whether she knows it or not. It's not so much her choice in music as it is the energy and the vibrations she brings to whatever she is talking about or whatever it is she's doing. She's not some out of touch star, she's very connected and that will always be the one thing that stands out for me. It's amazing when someone in her arena of talent doesn't see that about her and tries to take that shine from her. She stands out alone. She is an inspiration, a true lover of music and art and she is a family-oriented, lovely person. She's the kind of gal you just want to be near and you know she's going to be there for you because she truly cares. What a love ♥

[@fonzo4551]

This is really touching! i cant stand to see Gaga sad, i had no idea she was going through alot while performing dope. People really need to lay off her for these album sales. sales doesnt measure anyones talent. Now Gaga is all about talent we can agree on that. Her voice is magnificent! this album will even prove it, even live performances will show to prove it.

[@johnlegend3081]

Lady Gaga really loves and respects Tony B So does Tony. Happy Birthday banner was heart touching.

[@lorenzop5899]

I love her so much.!

[@manvink8443]

Ohh my god! i cried when i saw her crying :'( it's so emotional.. i love you Gaga

[@NlHILIST]

It doesn't get better than this. Two legends for all time.

[@yasisoufi]

It shows the quality and power of music and art where the true humanity lies.. it’s not just the business.. still bring tears to your eyes and also wipe them away...

[@bobs.9476]

Gaga can sing anything, showtumes, jazz, pop etc. She really is sensational. She even works the thick dark eyebrows Joan Crawford look well.

[@LILRHONDALEE]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video...very touching! I have the utmost respect and fondness for both of these amazing artists! It brought tears to my eyes. xo

[@MeredithAnne88]

I simply love this album that these two have created. Their mutual admiration and love for great music is so evident.

[@jordanbarnes5231]

Gaga is such a beautiful soul.

[@cherylspringtime]

Two beautiful souls...I have a new appreciation for Lady Gaga now...

[@MyPhone-ns6sz]

Lady Gaga - as a fan of both you and Tony Bennet, I thank you for bringing him back to the world stage to - as you said - bask in the knowledge of how may lives he has touched. And to bask in the limelight you shined on him in the twilight of his life - with the voice as clear as when he began, and his ageless style. Thank you, LG.

[@7DeuceCutty212]

She is incredible! What a voice.

[@mamaburr2963]

I loved this interview Mr Tony Bennett and Miss Lady Ga Ga..How much respect and Love they have for each other...Best of all they make beautiful ❤️❤️ music together..

[@margalinam]

They are fantastic together, I loved them together. I'll love to see them in person singing together.

[@rlk53]

Amen.

[@AhmedGermanotta]

She's seems so emotional I LOVE her ♥

[@celestemunda7143]

This archive of comments validating ARTPOP is so nice to see. Wether it touches fifty million or fifty, she will always be here to give us great music.

[@Lali2206]

This is just so beautiful

Betrayal and abandonment are real and earth Soul shaking, it makes you question everything.

[@anam.s.1259]

[@janetreineke3687]

What a beautiful loving friendship they share!

[@MrHar8ig]

No one like her Love U Gaga For me You are still the best

[@jimmykicker7775]

I hope Lady Gaga takes detailed notes on Tony Bennett's style and class and sticks with the jazz genre because she could be one of the female vocal greats.

[@cleatfeet]

Don't worry, I think that's why Tony Bennett asked her to do this album. Since she's been studying jazz at the age of 13, she's most likely on her way to doing more great music! We as fans just need to be supportive of what she does.

[@onlytrueway8742]

I think she did

[@ty-ox5ii]

I'll always be here for you Gaga, i was here then, and i'll continue to be by your side no matter what.

[@kamillahein2518]
