She (Stefani Germanotta) is actually quite talented; she can not only really sing, but plays the piano and composes original jazz music. I thought what she did last night was probably the only thing at last night’s Oscar’s worth watching (and I didn’t watch it BTW) but found it via this thread.

Unfortunately such music seems to have a rather limited audience now days and she went from this and what she did last night to going for the shock value, the controversial and edgy route for the fame and the big bucks.

But perhaps this performance will bring her back to doing more good music in the future.

One can only hope.

FWIW, I really liked this song of Lady Ga Ga’s that came out a couple of years ago, liked it’s sort of country honkey tonk and rock and roll vibe.

But trust me. While the song is good IMO, you really don’t want to watch the actual video for it and don’t do it! It’s disturbing and absolutely ruins what is actually a pretty good pop song.

...not at all surprised at the range and beauty of her voice....she stole the show from where I was sitting.

Truly! She is a very accomplished singer and pianist who can handle all types of music.

she recently put out a recording with Tony Bennett...check out their song together on youtube. She can actually sing.

Gaga had 4 solos on the Cheek to Cheek album and tour with Bennett. Here's 3 that were recorded live and then aired on PBS.
