I think Lady Gaga ( real name Stefani Germanotta) is trying to reinvent herself ( much like the aging Rod Stewart did before her ).
She’s probably trying to show off her artistic range... you know, to be a star for any age - not just one tied to the fickle nature of the charts of the hour.
Heck, with this number, she even belted to the sky mother superior’s operatic finale, “Climb Every Mountain.”
Her most recent hit recording for instance showcased her ability to sing and perform American Standards when she recorded a full album “CHEEK to CHEEK” with Tony Bennett.
Her last pop album flopped big time, she knows that part of her career is over. Wish Madonna would take the same lesson from her.
I liked them doing “Lady is a Tramp”.
