Last Sunday there was a birthday concert shown on TV. It was Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga from the Radio City Music Hall. They celebrated Tony Bennett's 95th birthday and supposed retirement from show business. Even though his birthday was in August, it was shown now, in November.
Give credit where credit is due, he was surprisingly good. His age showed, walked with help but his voice was still fairly strong, and not unpleasant to listen to. On the other hand, Lady Gaga was very disappointing. She reminded me of a drugged up Liza Minelli. She tried to dance, but in my opinion, she did not succeed. She should not give up her day job.
Also, her fussing about Tony Bennett, like kissing his hand was pretty tasteless. Please, the man is not the pope, not even a cardinal. What is all this kissing?
Overall, the program was fairly enjoyable and had I known it in advance I might have tried to get some tickets.
