    You can say about Gaga what you want, but she always delivers. Together with Tony this album is such a masterpiece. Her vocal ability is insane.

    Gaga-Bennett'in ilk is birligi. Gaga'nin da kendi standartlarinin altinda kaldigi ARTPOP doneminin ardindan kendini yeniledigi album olmustu Cheek to Cheek. Little Monsters diye tabir edilen Gaga fanlarinin haricinde yeni insanlar da bu albumle beraber Gaga'yi dinlemeye baslamislardi.

    The match between Bennett and Gaga winds up quite differently from the one between the master and k.d. lang in 2002. Those two created a more sober and mature affair. By contrast, the duets with Gaga give Bennett a whole new hold on youth.

    This is a clear example of renewal, Lady Gaga accompanies the great artist Tony Bennett and they manage to release one of the best Jazz albums in 2014, the only detail is that we see Tony again with covers and not even Gaga managed to make this album really acclaimed, with very good lyrical and even winning a Grammy, the album is considered one of the worst of both artists

    Even though I am a huge Lady Gaga fan (My main reason for buying the CD) I thought she would be out of her element with this. I was wrong. She sounds great and proves she is one of the most talented singers around today. Likewise with Tony Bennett, he still has not lost a thing and sounds as good as ever. This CD really took me by surprise on how much I love it.

    Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett sound so good singing together, but sometimes they keep boring. A Jazz album that could not be so big, it's sad. I really hope that they do other album so much better.

    Probably, if not her best, one of the best albums Gaga will ever make. As a jazz/swing/show tune lover, I admit it was scintillating, with the vocals at the extremes and the orchestrations fitting the nail perfectly.

    Not feeling this at all and any positive reviews u hearing have to be from brainwashed culturally artistically and historically disinclined misinformed monsters and payola media outlets or people who love tony...this chick sounds like a cat being skinned alive!  She cones off as a fake contrived screaming mockingbird wannabe any winhouse nora jones or adele she cleary is not!

    I gave it a 9. There are a couple of songs that I don't think they quite work at first but listening to them a couple more times, they aren't that bad. Overall the album is really good. Gaga really shows her range and her talent. Tony Bennett is wonderful as usual.

    This album was a definite shock. I am a usual jazz listener, and I am used to most of these standards. It was simply to listen to their renditions, which were all great. The album flew by quite quickly, but that being said, some tracks were needlessly too short. Other than that, it was great. Saddened to see many people are only focusing on Gaga (negatively) and not Tony or the music.

    amazing! really shows her range as an artist! and Tony has still got it! together the balance each other out wonderfully. makes me love jazz, it is such a great album! highlights are definitely Firefly, Cheek to cheek, Anything goes, goody goody, I cant give you anything but love, it dont mean a thing and bang bang. The rest are also amazing, just a little bit more serious sounding

    I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about this album. First of all, Lady Gaga is a REVELATION. Her vocals are spot-on perfect, full of emotion and exquisite phrasing. Secondly. Tony Bennett's warm, weathered voice perfectly complements Gaga at every turn. Their chemistry is truly something special. Get the Grammys ready for "Cheek to Cheek!!" ; )

    Just a flawless album for a flawless duet, When The Queen of Pop met The King of Jazz. So much emotions came in you when you listen this pure melodious album. Thanks Gaga to give us every kind of music.

    Sorry, but Gaga sounds fake. Her part in Goody Goody is plain ridiculous. Nevertheless her voice is not all bad, I just wish she sounded more natural. Tony, well, he is past is prime, but better than the 60 years younger Gaga. He knows how to sing.
    The songs... god, they have been sung over and over for the last... eight decades. Some interpretations are decent, but none shines. Maybe    Sorry, but Gaga sounds fake.

    The songs... god, they have been sung over and over for the last... eight decades. Some interpretations are decent, but none shines. Maybe some more obscure tunes or some modern songs (not from this century) mixed with the classics would be a better choice.
    All in all, some songs are listenable, some I'd say "nice" (a seven), but some are horrid! Specially Gaga solos... This could be a better album. "The Lady is a Tramp" (2011) sounds really better. More fluid and natural. What a waste.    … Expand

    This album shows the versatility of a chameleon star and the unwavering devotion of a legend. The charisma and the joy oozing from this duet collection is simply amazing.

    Gaga has a good voice but i find her a bit desperate in her failed attempt appeal to a different audience. She might be flopping in pop but at least her music was kinda fun before.

    Amazing album. Gaga is perfect. Her interpretation of "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye it's touching. And Madonna... You don't wanna hear. You don't want to know... But, sorry... You never record some tunes so fine in your whole career. Definetely, she is not you.

    Ultimately, Cheek to Cheek is pleasant through and through. It’s not the greatest standards duets album ever recorded, but nor is it a dud.

    Cheek to Cheek is a record where the music and even the songs take a backseat to the personalities.

    Shallow, deeply unimaginative renditions [of standards out of the Great American Songbook].
