Sep 23, 2014Was very happy to be gifted this album. I was very impressed with Lady's skill at jazz and thought she held her own against the legend Tony Bennett quite well. I hope they continue to work together. As someone not too familiar with Lady's pop works, I will now look into that as well.

Sep 23, 2014The unusual pairing of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga have produced a simply stunning album. They sound absolutely flawless together, especially on tracks such as Nature Boy. This is definitely an album worth buying!
-
Sep 23, 2014Cheek To Cheek is probably the most unexpected collaboration album that popular music has ever seen ! As a huge fan of Gaga, I totally approve her choice to try jazz and her voice fits perfectly with it. To anybody that dislikes Lady Gaga, just forget everything you know about her, listen to this album and be objective about it and about her. Enjoy :)

Sep 23, 2014Lady Gaga's vocal and Tony's voice surprised me. I'm not a huge fan of jazz but this album is really a masterpiece. I'm hoping they are keep making this kind of album, which is what i called real music at this moment.
-
Sep 23, 2014I am cursing myself for having ignored Lady Gaga up to now. She is incredibly talented, but I was paying attention only to the persona and not to her music. Hopefully I'm still in time to explore her discography. As for Tony, need I get into details? He's already proved his legendary status which is still completely preserved. Amazing album.
-
Sep 23, 2014I'm not a huge jazz fan but WOW, this album blew me away. I truly think this is one of the most beautiful albums released in the past couple years. Tony and Gaga sound absolutely wonderful together. Will definitely buy this for many family members and friends.
-
Sep 23, 2014I hope a sequel is released soon because I just can't get enough. Every song is so well done, easily the best album I've ever heard. So happy that quality music is rising again.
-
Sep 23, 2014I wasn't expecting the album to be this good. They did an incredible job! Gaga's vocals really impressed me, to the point where I rushed to buy the album. You can also feel Tony and Gaga's chemistry in it. Outstanding!
-
Sep 23, 2014After her highly expected, drastic and precipitous fall from the upper echelons of pop music, Gaga has finally found her calling and permanent niche – flamboyant octogenarians. Cheek to Cheek is by far her most understated yet effective record – a musical collaboration with a bankable Jazz legend that easily shines among her heavy spectacle-relying solo efforts.
-
Sep 23, 2014Truly an outstAnding album, that not only showcases the cRafted-to-perfecTion vocals from Bennett, but also highlights the raw, jaw-droPping talent frOm Gaga who shines through the exciting, thrilling ride of jazz classics. You can buy 1, you can buy 10, but what you should do is buy 20, because this is definitely a Perfect Christmas gift.

Sep 23, 2014I would have never ever thought Lady Gaga was such a talented artist. I thought she relied on gimmicks solely to overcome the fact of not being a good musician; I received this album as a gift by my nephew and I'm totally impressed. I feel so guilty for having ignored her for so long, she is one of the greatest musician of the younger generation.
-
Sep 23, 2014I'm loving this album. It's a breath of fresh air for Gaga. Her vocals are incredible. Tony and Gaga are charming together. Lush Life, Bang Bang, Nature Boy, Cheek to Cheek, But Beautiful, & They All Laughed are my favorite.

Sep 23, 2014Gaga,the big promisse of pop now is the new promisse of jazz
Tony is king,king and just king.
Gaga + Tony = SLAAAAAAAAY
Just listen ad feel that perfection, -
Sep 23, 2014A Legend of Jazz and the Queen of Pop, two beautiful and strong voices, together, make a perfect album. I recommend to everyone to listen to this masterpiece, this album is amazing.
-
Sep 23, 2014I am so happy that Gaga no longer feels the need to satisfy music industry even though it's clear that she was always a great artist. Tony's vocals are amazing and all songs are covered perfectly!
-
Sep 23, 2014The perfect jazz album by a pop star and a living legend. Enuf said. Any one giving this album lower than a 7/70 is just wrong. Lady GaGa is arguably the only pop star who can execute these traditional standards/ jazz records this amazingly.
-
Sep 23, 2014Whether you need to dance, cry, get emotional, be consoled, or entertained, these outstanding covers of great American Classics by two incredibly talented artists won't disappoint you.
-
Sep 23, 2014I am not a jazz fan.
But damn, this album made me a believer!
You can feel the chemistry between Tony + miss Gaga.

Sep 23, 2014This album is truly beautiful. The vocals and instrumentals are phenomenal, and both jazz and non-jazz fans can love this album. In fact, if there's one modern album to make you love jazz, this is that album. Forget every preconception you may have about Lady Gaga and listen to her beautiful voice, you won't be disappointed.
I strongly recommend this album! -
Sep 23, 2014The vocals, the background music, absolutely everything is phenomenal! Tony Bennett showed that he is really the king of jazz and Gaga is building her way to be the queen! Congratulations to the duo.

Sep 23, 2014What a brilliant album, she has definitely inspired me to release a jazz album now. Her vocals are fantastic and eclipse mine by one hundred fold, if only I was able to record and release such an album.
-
Sep 23, 2014This album is just exquisite. There is no other way to call it. The voices of Gaga and Bennett masterfully merge; their atmospheres are so different but works so damn' fantastic.
It is one of the best albums of the year, no doubt. -

Oct 7, 2014Ultimately, Cheek to Cheek is pleasant through and through. It’s not the greatest standards duets album ever recorded, but nor is it a dud.
-
Sep 30, 2014Cheek to Cheek is a record where the music and even the songs take a backseat to the personalities.
-
Sep 29, 2014Shallow, deeply unimaginative renditions [of standards out of the Great American Songbook].
