‘Cheek to Cheek’ collaborators Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga left fans hands-to-cheek after her stunning live performance last night in San Francisco.
Taking to the Concord Pavilion, the diva – also hard at work on ‘American Horror Story’ and the follow-up to 2013’s ‘ArtPop’ – took to stage for a rousing performance of the tune ‘Bang Bang’ (found aboard her joint effort with jazz legend Bennett).
But, as fans last night can attest, the real bang came when the songstress dropped the mic to show off her oft-praised vocal chops.
See it below:
Thanks to our friends at LGD:
WOW! Lady Gaga once again proves that she doesn’t even need a mic to fill an entire arena!

YUSS! SHAKING MY BUZZY, GET IT LADY CACA! David when are you going to unblock my email address cuz I’m tired of running across the South African border just to comment on my uncle’s computer. Jesus Christ!
haha
.
the only thing caca is blowing are those century old tes-ties- on that old man
SING Gaga!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Say whatever you will about Gaga, she can still do THAT!
ZADDY!
WHEN WILL BASICVOCALSYONCE? NEVER, AS LONG AS PRERECORDED TRACKS EXIST! LOL
Beyonce is a better singer than this t*****.
You know what’s sad, no matter how great she sings and no matter how much she sells, some of the trolls and delusional stans will continue to call her reductive, a FAD, and talentless. STOP talking about record sales all the d*mn time, and look an artist for their talent and WHAT they’ve contributed. Anyway, mama sang down.
She’s always been a great singer. The problem is that she makes terrible music that doesn’t take advantage of her gifts as a vocalist/pianist. Born This Way and Artpop were albums that were exclusively pandering to the gay community.
I agree, but she chooses to do that, because she WANTS to appeal to the gays. We’re basically her core audience. BUT she’s also smart because she realizes that to get on the radio and make people care, you need a catchy beat and cute lyrics. Then on the flip side, she ALWAYS serves acapella or just piano and her vocals during interviews and radio meet-ups to show that she’s not just a gimmick. She knows exactly what she’s doing
*applauds you* If people stop worrying about sales (because it shouldn’t matter to no one else other than the artist/label anyway), they would enjoy music so much more!
AND STOP BRING UP OTHER ARTIST TO CREATE STAN WARS AND START S*IT! Damn, have a seat and enjoy the performance for what it is. Y’all stay bringing up these late, tired, and invalid ass receipts. Hush, and stop comparing, her and Bey, are TWO different artist.
*applauds you again*
Wow amazing watch Rosie come in here seething because she knows Lana could never.
Little Cutters once again caring more about me than their actual fave.
SHE’S SO TALENTED! She deserves the success Basic Swift is achieving tbh… Lady Gaga, I’ve always believed in you! You’re AMAZING!
I think her time is coming soon! Hopefully with these next album she takes a stripped back approach and really just gives us vocals and the proper promotion. Hopefully her team is better this time around.
Love it, I want gaga back on top.
Fraudeyonce could never. Y’all that shunt lip syncs live. The Sony Music puppet only sings when it’s convenient.
You spelled Rihanna wrong
Slayage at its best. Bow down Gaga is the true queen. The true VOCAL bible.
I wanna see Mariah,Lana, Rihanna and Beyonce try this haha they would fail miserably. Gaga is a vocal supreme which you guys will respect.
Mariah could do that in her sleep for the first decade of her career. You were saying?
https://youtu.be/_xHqg0-yRyU
COME THRU AND DRAG A BIT, SISTREN!
Oh Mariah could do it while phrasing complex runs. Eat it b1tch.
She is not using her vocal cords correctly. Experts will tell you that if she continues screaming like that she’ll end up with vocal haemorrhaging. Sam Smith and Adele have better ranges, correctly control their tones and actually use their mics and have suffered vocal injuries, so Gaga should be careful.
You have Janet in your avi and you stan for lip syncyonce you are not allowed to criticize vocals. When Janet stops whispering than maybe you can give a critique.
AND YOU’RE PRESSED! The SELF-drag, when Janet CREATED the lane for all the people you JUST mentioned. They all praise her and acknowledge her as influences. MVP get a job FÆG!
Janet can’t sing for s*** so her stan can’t come for vocals when all its used to is ghost whispers.
You don’t get to criticize Janet when Gaga just barely has a 2 octave range as a woman.
Diarrrhima b*tch I’m not @Rosie and I sure as hell won’t be wasting time dragging the life out of your toxic body like the way she does. Didn’t your avi look different a few days ago when @Elusive clocked you for being a troll? Glad to see you’re checking for me and who I stan for even though I’ve never paid you’re basic ass meltdowns any attention. Janet paved the way for that pathetic excuse of a human being you stan for, so let’s NOT! Pick your face off the ground, because your a damn fool!
Sis, why is a certain pressed commenter above TRYING It severely?! “I wanna see Mariah try this”…I don’t have time. Anyway, she’s classically trained to sing, so it definitely sounds like she’s using more of a grittier mix voice and using lots more chest than head resonance. But I wouldn’t say she’s screaming
Mariah fat bloated ass could never.
Not a Janet Stan talking about vocal technique.All she does is whisper into the mic. The only technique janet is good at with her mouth is deepthroating that Arabian sasuag ein dubai hunti 🙁
I love Gwen but she certainly ain’t no powerhouse so you also have no leg to stan on. You sound very madT and pressedT honey, Queen Billionaire Janet is coming to school all of the lames you stan for and you will all regret the day you tried it!
@Gwen Stefani Stan it’s not cute just stop.
A Janet stan coming for vocals? I’ve seen it all.
a Kelly stan shouldn’t join in on any discussions on tgj because your fave only has 1 gold album which was released over a decade ago
And Kelly rowland is beyonce’s shadow, and she had to sing about being beaten and bruised just sell a record [and even after that the music industry still payz her dust]. So you sir can have several _/ _/
Clearly you haven’t seen it all since you were unable find your edges and hairline after every imaginable fanbase dragged the life out of your broke ass and Kelly’s non-existent sales. It’s a real shame since I actually like Kelly, but the next time someone takes your bum ass to the slaughterhouse I will be laughing with my camomile tea instead feeling sorry for you KII!! Tbh I wouldn’t have defended your irrelevant attention-seeking ass anyways but hey *inserts tea emoji*
When was Kelly’s last hit other then Dilemma with Nelly year of 2001 girl please stop acting press because Kelly stans for Janet as much as her good sis Beyonce and so that my dear you will deal.
@Shady81 And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is how you shade to the gahts! #ShadeAnonymous
I can’t take your comment serious with that avi.
Then exit my mentions @JohnDoe because LordT knows you’re just another troll/variation of one of these other lame ass bum b*tches that couldn’t face me head on. DEATH at you trying so hard to get recognition. My avi is of Janet sipping a drink, much like the tea I’m sippin while you’re having a meltdown over my statement! bYE
YOU BETTER DRAG SIS
LOOL! Not me catching 3 bodies by my one comment, Truth hurts. Not as much as gagas vocal chords and walls tho! If only these lames were so active during the ArtFlop era, perhaps it could have scraped a platinum plaque instead of an aluminium foil one. And then Gagme wouldn’t have to result to singing while being vomited on or fvcking old men for chump change!
I guess shaving down that adams apple helped expand her vocal range. YASSSSS slay Gaga with your post op p**** 🙂
What? Gwen Flopfani still has stans? After the massive flop that is baby don’t lie I thought people forgot she was still around. Thank god we have Charli xcx now.
You know how ageist the top 40 radio is. Gwen has nothing left to prove hunti. She’s been in the industry for 20+ years! has a DIAMOND album with her band no doubt, and also was the first artist to have a digital single sell a million copies. She can afford to flop
Rima you’re so sad, get a hobby besides hating boo, it’s unbecoming.
One of the most talented singers out there. But MC has done this over & over !!!!
arena? tgj tried it. the concord pavilion is barely a high school gym.
even ciara and janet’s whispering ass vocals would echo in that dump.
#DEAD LMAO!
CRINE
Excellent
She’s a SANGER… Period
That was great Gaga, but I need to leave now. This post is about to get messy.
The only thing messy is how Mariah is a size 2 in her album covers, BUT is shaped like sponge bob In real life. Photoshop doesn’t work in real life hunti
Photoshop doesn’t work in real life…
…
I agree. That’s why no matter how hard you airbrush, the split of your asscrack will remain as wide as the gap between 2015 and the extremely bloated GooGlob’s last platinum album. #5Years
@Gwen Stefani, stop your shitt b****. I know you aren’t coming for Mariah’s vocals while stanning for that one octave has-been Flop.
It pains me to drag the living soul out of you so hard that you will require a seance to summon your demonic presence back to the slums. But you will not disrespect the Queens Mariah and Janet, so I will take that basic ass to slaughterhouse if you’re ever bold enough to talk slick again. You stan for someone who had to get a woman to vomit on her to promote her ‘Art’. You stan for someone who made sexual assault allegations to promote her ‘Music’. And you stan for someone who is willing to swallow an ancient fossilled grandpapi’s n** just make ‘Sales’, so think twice before you type again. At least Tony is giving Gag-Me some bang for her buck though! #StickAForkInYou #You’reDone(Eternal)
@Elusive RIGHT THO! LMFAO
Gaga looks like my 56 year old aunt…
Lol… You wish!!!
Im actually serious, my aunts and even my mom look younger than Gaga now. It seems like Gaga has aged 20 years since Artpop… Its kinda weird.
Gaga did her thing.
That’s why I stan for her! She is incredible!!! Sing Gaga!
I mean, it was alright???? but she does sing better than a lot of her flopping peers.
this trick is a poorman’s low budget p! nk and adam Lambert wanna be
.
she tries but her Artpop isn’t here for her
Always the same trolls over and over again, *sigh* Gaga is one of the few talented singers of this generation, hope she keeps improving.
Actually it’s always THE SAME troll. Rima is enraged that @Rosie drags her every time, so she has created different alters to avoid the pain. #MKUltraTs
BAAHAHAHAHA!!! NO YOU DIDN’T! “MKUltraTs” YOU AINT S*IT ????????????
Worry about nicki winning some awards sis. I know y’all barbs were salty when iggy got the BBMA that’s why y’all made that dumb ass petition than got clocked by the administrator and had you barbs looking stupid kiiii
I didn’t know she had it in her! Lately, Gaga’s been very impressive! Her career is a bit strange imo. I see her as an artist with an abundance of talent that unfortunately made a big splash without showcasing it! I felt like she was this pretentious pop star trying to cook up this Madonna/Spice Girls/Bowie persona, while trying ever so desperately to live up to this hype created around her “star”. “The Fame” was atrocious! I only found her compelling during the “Fame Monster” era as this “Lady Gaga” person she invented. Now that I see glimpses of who she really is (Stephanie), she appeals more to me. When Gaga’s raw she’s way more fascinating. Vocally she’s more Janis Joplin/Melissa Etheridge than Madonna! ‘ArtPop’ wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be, but if Gaga takes a less contrived approach with the next album she just may reinvent herself… This time in an much more authentic/organic way.
I can’t stand her basic vocals, this circu de freak escapee wheelchair performer can miss me whith her flamingo a$$ dress
.
that century old n-u-t must be nice , good jpb Tony
aint this the a$$-to-mouth tour that Lana is currently scalping?
Yes. This is the largest venue on the tour (almost all of the other dates are casino theaters, kii) while Lana is playing multiple venues that are much larger. No wonder Fad stand remain mad at the best-selling alternative female artist.
She can sing. Too bad, her “music” ain’t worth a damn. Gaga used up all her gimmicks & catchy hits during her first two albums. She kinda overexposed herself & the public simply lost interest. The girl can sing LIVE tho. Can’t say the same about 90% of these new “artist”…
OMG! ! You visit this blog!! Oh and I see you dragging that annoying Joancrawford1 troll for filth good job
#WhenElusiveDrags ????????
The only dragging happening is when Rihanna wig desperately try’s to cling to her fourfive head receding hairline kii
50 year old Winifred from Hocus Pocus looking b1tch had some control on that shout!
Such queen love her when will S******?
Why are you even on this site? You stan for someone who does nothing but f*cking famous black guys to be relevant.
Maybe I’m watching a different video but that wasn’t singing, that’s just shouting. There is a way to project your voice and anyone with a trained ear will tell you that’s now how its done. Gaga has been doing that alot lately, I’m surprised she hasn’t damaged her voice yet. I get that she’s trying to win the public back over by showing them she has talent but straining outside of her range is going to hurt her in the long run.
Finally someone with some common sense! Anyone who has a musical ear and understands classical vocal training knows that she is singing from her throat and not her diaphragm. Of course the audience will lap it up because they are not musical experts (LOL I mean afterall they are at a Lady Gaga concert aren’t they?), but that was not good! Ariana is good example of someone who can project their voice well!
*is a good example
Lol the only thing she’s slaying are her vocal cords. I really hope she doesn’t do this every night she’s on the road. She can do some serious damage. It’s like she’s trying to show everyone she can sing but this isn’t the way.
Yas exactly! GaGa can’t sing, she shouts and screams …
Here endeth the lesson *closes bible and prays for forgiveness for murdering these höes on the sabbath*
JD just shaded the shyt out of mariah tho. Salty much?
She didn’t blow me away. She’s screaming, not singing.
Any who SAM make a post about how Forbes tried my b**** Beyonce net worth by decreaseing her s*** $200,000,000.
That was some bullsh*t, they also decreased Madonna’s networth of 800M down to 540M, and Rihanna’s networth of 120M down to 54M
She’s a better singer than Beyoncé.
And, they both sound 10x better than Madonna has EVER sounded.
That doesn’t change the fact that she is a better singer than Beyoncé, oh and better than Mimi nowadays.
No she is NOT. But what would a madge stan know about vocals.
I like her better than Beyonce vocally too. Beyonce has never made me feel anything. At least not as Gaga did at this years Oscar ceremony for example. Compare that to what was supposed to be a great moment vocally and emotionally by Beyonce at this years grammys. She just doesn´t have it in her to move with her voice alone.
Beyonce would destroy her onstage or in studio. Too many of you act like Beyonce wasn’t outsinging Kelly Rowland and Latoya in the early years of her career.Kelly has a better tone and Latoya has a higher range, so does michelle and by comparison Beyonce made them all sound like s***!
Lady Gaga and her fans are desperately trying to make the public aware of her “talents” but shouting because you didn’t do sound check and are touring with ragged equipment isn’t impressive at all.
Beyonce>Lady Gaga vocals any day all day and that’s whether it’s pre-recorded or live!
The Year is 2015,Mariah’s voice is shot! Rihanna could never sing,Kelly Rowland is horrible live! Janet Jackson and Britney spears are just different skin colors(Janet can at least still perform),so if you’re a Stan of those people and you’re coming for Beyonce vocals,maybe you shouldn’t be talking.
Mariah Carey fans can ALWAYS come for vocals… Just like a Whitney Houston fan can… BYE
No they actually can’t and neither can Whitney’s! Because in their prime they were both something special especially the last vocal blueprint “Whitney Houston” who influenced Mariah Carey as well! Those vocal glory days are way past Mariah, we are in 2015 not 1990-1997! Whitney’s last years alive was just sad. This is the hear and now and right now there are at least 20 girls in Pop and R&B that sound better than her. Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to take anything from Mariah, no one can at this point but those vocals the last decade or more have been more miss than hit! This is coming from a fan who was riding with Mrs.Carey when she still was dressing like a teacher in the beginning!
Slay Motha monsta!
No big deal Britney and Mariah could do this in their sleep. Bahahahahaahhahahahahha JK! She might not be the best looking artist according to industry standards but she sings half these artist off the grid.
Also forgot Madonna could never! Ever!
What does Beyoncé knowles Carter have to do with lady gaga and lady gaga did great performance that song
She doesn’t even look like a t*****; she looks like a man in cross-dress! *plays ‘The Edge of Glory’.
Fantastic. She´s so good.
I´m glad finally everybody saw it at this years Oscar ceremony.
