    This album made me fall in love with Lady Gaga. All the songs are great Jazz Standards, but the interpretation of the artists makes them sound like you've never heard them before. I've shared some tears with these emotional performances. The grandeur of music at its finest :)

    As someone who has long questioned how genuine a talent Lady Gaga is, I have to say, I was shocked after having listened to Cheek to Cheek. Underneath those over-sized wigs and extravagant outfits is a girl with one very powerful voice! She mightn't have the extensive vocal range some of the other pop stars have, but there is one thing she does have and that is control.

    This collaborative effort between Gaga and Tony makes for very easy listening. In fact, I don't think there was a single song on the album that I felt the need to skip.

    The combination of Tony's timelessness and Lady Gaga's relevancy makes for quite a potent album! Would definitely recommend!    … Expand

    'Cheek to Cheek' is more than just Jazz album, it's a music expedition that brought two talented artists from different eras together.

    Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga may be the less conventional pair in music, but they made it work better than most conventional pairs in the music industry. 'Cheek to Cheek' by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga is an unique achievement in musical terms.    … Expand

    An album that lends itself easily to repeat listening. Not only does Tony, as usual, perform extremely well on this record, Lady Gaga shows a different side to herself, exchanging avant-garde pop music for toned down Jazz with a "Gaga Twist". Both singers' vocals mould perfectly together, Gaga's soaring over the swinging Jazz instruments. Gaga is truly bringing Jazz back for the 20s again.

    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.

    Two great artists from different ages, it seems a little bit risked, but not to Gaga who has proved she can do what she wants because of her natural talent, not forgetting, of course, Tony, who has been in this industry for years and his longevity is not by chance.

    A wonderful album! A wonderful artist! Every album released, his talent and his legacy growing and most respected. This only tends to grow. Each person chooses his own Queen, Lady Gaga for me is the true queen of pop.

    I put the score 7 because it is wonderful. I had never listened to jazz. For the fact that I met him thank you very much Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett for the fact that he still is embellished and added his jazz peppercorns.
    I love their joint song "Anythin Goes" and "Cheek to Cheek".
    But solo Gaga by "Bang-Band (My Baby Shot Me Down)" a shock!

    Tony Bennett + Lady Gaga are one of the best jazz couples from this decade. First, with "The Lady is a tramp" and now with a full covers from jazz history. Great job

    Lady Gaga shows us her classy side which fans like to call "Lady", she's showing us potential and versatility which is something not everybody has in the music industry. This album won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and it was well deserved!

    I was surprised the first time I heard. Changed the vibe of the music around me and I had to absorb much of the lyrics and sonority produced in this jazz album. This combination and age difference was the best in millions of years. Surely worth the grammy they won.

    Mr. Benedetto + Ms. Germanotta = pure perfection. The combination of a crooner-like Tony with over-the-top Garland-esque vocals from Gaga compliment each other so well! If you don't like Jazz or have never listened before, you'll be singing along by the end of the album... after all It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing!

    I'm completely stunned and amazed by this album. I would have never thought Lady Gaga would've ever delivered so many emotions through her voice. She is definitely talented, and that adds to the amazing Tony Bennett we all know. Absolutely worth buying if you want to help good music to rise again.

    As much as I love all the spectacle and glamour that she brings to her pop records, it's a refreshingly nice change of pace with this album. I can enjoy the natural shades of her voice and Tony's. They clearly enjoyed singing every song on this album and I especially love Nature Boy or Lush Life.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tony Bennett maintaining his vocal standards, Lady Gaga proudly shines and proves to the world that she has great vocal abilities on this album. Lady Gaga once again proves to the world that she is not just an ordinary pop singer, but a talented one with real vocal abilities. Not only she knows how to entertain her audience by putting on fancy yet fashionable outfits and pulling off a skill demanding choreography, but even when it comes to singing without any auto-tune or voice engineering, she seems to flourish and glow even more. This album is a cover full of standards and we should appreciate Tony and Gaga's effort for reviving the genre and the golden eras it used to have. We rarely listen to jazz nowadays and thank God Lady Gaga made an album with Tony thus introducing the great standards to her young and fans, whilst not forgetting to entertain the older generations who used to be humming these unforgettable tunes.… Expand

    What an incredible breath of fresh air. Highlights: Nature Boy and I Can't Give You Anything But Love. Gaga's vocals are shockingly beautiful, a real treat for my ears. Make sure you buy the deluxe, Gaga's take on Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye is simply divine.

    When I first heard that Lady Gaga would be making a Jazz album I wasn't pleased at all because of the fact that she usually makes pop music. But I'm going to tell you right now, I was wrong.

The vocals are great and you can tell by some of the songs how much fun Tony and Gaga had 'recording together in the studio. My favorites are It Dont Mean A Thing, Anything Goes, Nature Boy, and I Cant Give You Anything But Love. This makes me excited of what's to come from Gaga and has made me a bigger fan than I expected and opened me up to Jazz music, which I was never interested in before.

    Side note: I don't find it right that people are on here leaving what they call reviews, but they aren't even taking about the album. There talking about the success of it, which cannot be determined yet as the album has just been released. And saying that Lady Gaga can't sing, you need to get your ears checked. You don't even mention a thing about Tony ? You're just here to attack Lady Gaga , I doubt you've heard the album.    … Expand

    Cheek to Cheek is an enjoyable album and no boring as other albums. Gaga is incredible!! Her voice is a treasure. Goody Goody is a funny song especially when Gaga talking to Tony when he is singing. Lush Life.... no words. Cheek to Cheek is a REAL JAZZ ALBUM. Congrats Gaga and Tony. Wish another duet album.

    I loved it. Simply loved the album, Gaga's voice is in perfect harmony as Tonny, the 17 tracks on the album are perfect, I Will not Dance is a case apart, perhaps the best of the album. Finally, Gaga can use 100% of your voice, or even more. I smell GRAMMY's from start to finish. Note 10 without doubt.

    Gaga showed her power in this album. The instrumental combines with two lovely voices in a perfect harmony. Tge haters never managed to follow the wonder that Gaga can offer. For sensible people, this is one of the best albums of the year.

    Really special album. It's definitely one that I will revisit again and often. I love when a mainstream entertain has the talent and versatility to show other sides of themselves. Gaga accomplishes this successfully with Cheek to Cheek and I think many will recognize this for the first time as well.

    This album isn't just want Gaga & Tony Bennett needed, but what the this generation needed. I'm sure the world has been waiting for a light acoustic album from Gaga and shows off her great vocals. - But Beautiful is a MUST listen.

    wow! that's my first reaction to this very high-class jazz album.
    they perfectly gave the covers their own print, which was a delight!
    it showed how good Lady Gaga's vocals really are and of course the legendary Mr. Tony Bennett it's really the most ideal cover jazz album I've ever heard.
    Frank Sinatra would be proud of Gaga!

    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.
