The intellect is not a serious thing, and never has been. It is an instrument on which one plays, that is all.

The absolute best version possible. Love the song but now...spectacular.
It cannot be said, that when Lady performs, she doesn't leave it all out on that stage...
if may make a reservation/suggestion: quelling the drama a little bit, esp. after the intro (@ ~1:30), more careful handling of the emotion lever. big big thanks for choosing to tackle this v special song - to the ensuing!
Love this song…. Can do a decent job myself with this….. Johnny Hartman style….Nat King Cole does a great job as well, of course…
Love the growth she has undergone under Tony Bennett's wing! This is technically a really tough song to sing. Sinatra could never master it. The only criticism I have of this performance of the song is that it's "too much Cher" in that it's a lot of power that never achieves soft landings. With this in mind, I'd say "less Cher, more Natalie Cole".....she mastered the transition from power to feather soft landings in this song.
Outstanding. I always saw the color blue whenever I heard or played this song. Guess I wasn’t the only one…
Just because you can, it does not mean you should. Gaga is EXTREMELY talented, probably one of the BEST singers of her generation, but this one is way way beyond her level. Talent is also respecting your limits.
2:09 wow

I hadn’t realized that Lady Gaga had pipes like that.
She unleashed it after artpop era!!!! She's always been a belter!!!!!
Rickie Lee Jones' version is better. Just saying.
then go listen to that version
@@hexmaniacciaran thanks for the childish input
This is something B I G
Sublime
here in 2024, she just gets better every year❤
it takes a lot of bravery for most singers to even attempt this song. She relishes it. fantastic vision of what Strayhorn started. My god this is good....great!
...i think this was a GREAT moment for her as an artist ...and as a WOMAN....everything about what and who she is came through...and then...there is something else...an extension...and that is why she is crying....
😮😮😮 🎶😁
The best performance of "Lush Life" I know of (including Cole, Sinatra (verse only) and Strayhorne himself. Lady Gaga is not just singing, she's opening her soul.
Lady Gaga is a brilliant, next-level artist who rarely is mentioned in todays' Philistine culture.
One of my favorite songs. Gaga does a great job here, but I still prefer Queen Latifah's version from the movie Living Out Loud. Gaga's version is the definition of brassy, whereas Queen Latifah's is smooth as silk.
Thank you for your wonderful performance 🎉🎉❤
Why in the beginning I'm getting an Ursula singing poor unfortunate soul?
Too beautiful ❤
Wow
the purity of her voice is jaw dropping ,a one in million talent for sure , loved her songs with tony bennet priceless , love you lady gaga sing for as long as you want and not a minute more,
Best version of this haunting song.
I’ve worshipped this rendition for a long time. Absolutely IMPRESSIVE rendition of this song. Thank you!
Thank heavens she found jazz. It suits her perfectly.
This was fantastic! I had no clue that Lady Gaga can sing this way. She might as well be a jazz singer. Can’t believe it
どなたか知っていたら教えてください。これはいつ頃、どのコンサートホールで演奏されたのですか？
I looked at her with prejudice
wow thats a vocal performance par excellence i tip my hat to you lady gaga supremo
Nobody sings this song like Queen Latifah.
I knew Lady Gaga could sing. This magnificent rendition proves once and for all thst she can SING!! An incredible voice, perfect pitch and breath control. Notice i say pitch control, not singing on key. She is tuning the chords to perfection. One thing stands out and that is her masterful use of vibrato. Exactly the right amount at exactly the right time. Too many singers hit a note and warble, so the chord never gels. She posts the note perfectly, only warming it at the end.
damn..she really nailed the second half of the song emotionally...gave me full body chills!
Wow.... Major league pipes............ I teared up........
I know this comment will earn me a lot of hate, but I consider that her interpretation is a bit exaggerated and strident, far from the spirit of the song.
right up there with Barbra
I love her, but why is she dressed like Cher here? :D
Too loud, shouty and bombastic. Johnny Hartmann did it justice.
Queen Latifah can slam this song out of the ballpark! This rendition...😐
First heard of this song by Lady Gaga with this rendition and i really like it. But then i found Queen Latifah movie soundtrack version and that become my favourite version. I prefer the more subdue and jazzy version. Lady Gaga version now felt too 'harsh' vocally.
Though She did sing a clam or 2(funny notes) she still sang her butt off! This is a difficult, tricky jazz standard to perform and she gets top kudos for her passion and artistry
She sings this song too "full and loud" voiced. It should be more subdued.
That's not her style; she tends to obliterate everything she sings.
she has a thicker voice she can't do anything about it. She has her own style
Wow.
Welp ..one thing for sure .....she is NO Donna summer that's for sure!!!!!! What a terrible rendition,!!!!!!!
Fabulous performance. 👍♥♥♥I am very excited and impressed by her interpretation and her vocal possibilities
Fay-sayezz, tray-sayezz. Sorry. Natalie Cole owned it.
Lady Gaga you are wonderful ❤
This is one of the most brilliant, emotional performances of the Lush life I've ever heard.
