Tony Bennett: “I’d Love To Collaborate With Beyonce”

At 90 years old, Jazz icon Tony Bennett has quite literally seen and done it all. However, as he celebrates his birthday, he has revealed that he still has desires for a collaboration with music’s reigning queen, Beyonce.

Full story below…

The revelation came during a sit-down with the TODAY Show this morning.

First praising Lady Gaga – who he earned a Grammy with for their Gold-certified duet LP ‘Cheek To Cheek’– Bennett said of his dream of teaming with Bey:

“I like that Beyonce. She’s terrific. She’s got her eye on the ball”

In a separate interview with Billboard, the living legend confirmed that he’s set to return to the studio with Gaga for another project at the beginning of next year. As for why it’s not earlier? He says “she’s busy right now” – a playful nod, it seems, to the current recording of her comeback Pop album.

    He and gaga worked well and I wouldn’t have seen that coming. I would be interested to hear Mr. San Francisco and Bouncy together. Hopefully this will come to fruition.

    Glad to hear Mr. Bennett and Gaga are working together again. The last effort was excellent!

  4. Kiki and a hehe August 3, 2016

  5. Janyoncé Turner August 3, 2016

    That would be a stellar callabo…and another Grammy for them and maybe a #1 hit single

  6. Janyoncé Turner August 3, 2016

    How many real singers are asking to duet with Ciara, Rihanna, Taylor, Keri, Katy, Demi…??? I thought not.

    • Molly #TheMostRelevantBitch August 3, 2016

      • Janyoncé Turner August 3, 2016

        Surprise, yaaaaaaassssssss…always snatching wigs off these lessors. They will learn one day…until then, keep scalping.

    • #JACKIE August 3, 2016

      You mention Ciara in EVERY post. You are the epitome of a pressed ass bottom b****. No ones checking for this ancient ass fossil, and any collab he has with Beyonce will FLOP like her past couple of features. Stay mad faaaaag.

      • Janyoncé Turner August 3, 2016

        Hō! Is you mad or is your pressed? You’re mad because you stan for a habitual loser because you relate to that life. I stan for champions, boss, independent queens, not hasbeens who could’ve beens had they followed their own lane instead of the lanes of others, especially reality TV stars.

      • Janyoncé Turner August 3, 2016

        And I will keep bringing up Ciara’s name just to scalp your Limburger cheese smelling b**** for sport. Quit crying!

      • #JACKIE August 3, 2016

        And you will continue to look like the PRESSED panini jackass that you are. Bye girl.

      • BEY>RIH August 3, 2016

        Drag a bítch!!

  7. Usual Observer August 3, 2016

    Literally every legend loves Beyoncé lol. She is, in fact, not opinion, one of the most versatile artists of our generation. She slays music of all different flavors. Pop, R&B, hip-hop, gospel, funk, country, jazz, etc. hell, she’s even done some Spanish recordings in her career lol!

  8. J-Mar August 3, 2016

    Anybody That Keeps Bringing Up Ciara Name In Every Post That Are A Hater Must Be A Fan I Never Understand Why So Many Haters Dislike Her But Stay Checking For Her In Every post about her or just mentioned her name make u seem desperate.

    • #JACKIE August 3, 2016

      It’s soooo redundant now. I could say, “Praise the Lord” and these lame ass b****** would say some corny s*** like, “who’s praising Ciaras album sales?” Like blaaahhhhhh find some new material Kii.

      • Ciara The Flop August 3, 2016

        But who is praising Ciara’s album sales, singles, music videos, song snippets or even song instrumentals??? Who, sis, who???

  9. Weezy Tha Goat/ Zayn is ? August 3, 2016

    Who wouldn’t want to collaborate with Bey? I’d love to hear what they could come up with.

  19. HailLegendBeysus August 3, 2016

    Another day another LEGEND recognizing and praising the LEGENDARY TALENT THAT IS BEYONCÉ!!!

  20. Annalise August 3, 2016

    Anyone remember Bey’s Jazz medley in Vegas? She sounded amazing and did an impromptu cover of Ella Fitzfergald’s “Aint Got that Swing” during Deja Vu. Her entire performance during the I Am… Yours concert was one her strongest to date (mind you, she was sick with the flu and still slayed all of the basic bītches in music today). Beyonce touched on Jazz when she did her duet with the legendary Luther Vandross, but I would love for her to do a full on Jazz song.

      Nice preformance

    • HailLegendBeysus August 3, 2016

      Yas SHE SLAYED THAT!!!

  21. Jdek August 3, 2016

    If it can help her get a number one than sure I guess.

    • HailLegendBeysus August 3, 2016

      Why would she need a #1 single? She clearly doesn’t need them to ride the magnitude of success she’s been riding since her last one. Her tours have gotten bigger and she’s finally cemented herself as an album’s artist. She continues to sell record’s by the millions each era, she snatches all these accolades and continues getting praise from her peers, the legends and pioneers before her! STAY PRESSED BECAUSE FRIHANNA COULD NEVA!!!

  22. surprise..dec.2013 August 3, 2016

    Can u imagine Legend Tony bennet singing with Frih??????.I will name it…. BEAUTIFUL TRAGEDY.Tony reps Beautiful part and the tragedy part is…..NVM
