It's grainy and awkwardly sharpened. It looks like the Instagram effect I put on every photo I upload (because I love to make pics sharp and crisp).

It looks like an Instagram. She can and has done much better (I prefer the BTW art to this ). Either way, I'm still excited for the album. I'm sure it'll be fabulous.

I don't mind the covers. I think it'll look better in an actual CD case.

I'm sorry, but Tony Bennett looks creepy.

I'm actually excited about this album. I like her voice on these types of songs and they sound good together.

GaGa looks like she's trying to imitate tabloid photos of Cher from the 80s.

I like Tony Bennett and their voices blend well together. I can see this type of album starting out selling ok and then drop but then turn around and sell big during the Holidays.

I'm curious about the album for sure. I don't like the cover at all though.

Gaga sounds nasal on the new song. Maybe she was sick?

I can see this type of album starting out selling ok and then drop but then turn around and sell big during the Holidays. Sales on this are a huge question mark for me. Gaga's name is definitely worth something. Her stans will buy anything she puts out, even if they don't like it. Tony's last album opened at 179K in 2012, but that was a duets album, so its hard to say how much the people on it with him assisted in sales. Cheek to Cheek will have the HSN special to promote it as well, which Willie Nelson & Dolly Parton have successfully used this year to post higher than expected first week numbers.

If reviews are good, this album could sell well into the holidays. But people look for reasons to discount anything Gaga does so it's possible its sales will be front-loaded. Or the album could actually be not good, therefore also resulting in front-loaded numbers.

I do not expect it to be a high-selling album. When do Grammy nominations close again? If it is nominated for a Grammy, it could see a sales spike.

This whole Barbra Streisand-esque 60s-70s jazz diva look is so awkward..

Two additional bonus tracks on the Target deluxe edition: "On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)" and "Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered."

They should have done original songs too. Too bad they decided to leave off the ones Gaga wrote.

It'll be a nice look to likely top some Billboard Year-End charts (unless I'm forgetting something). A Grammy nomination or two can't hurt, even if it's an easy nomination.
Do we think she'd trot out jazzy versions of Poker Face/Bad Romance/Paparazzi on tour with Tony? Or just keep it to their duets/the classics?

Tony sang 2 songs at his iTunes Festival, I guess? Idk if Gaga was in a video or no appearance at all.
They're also getting some deal for ESPN tennis tournament.

She needs to burn that wig she wore in the cover, tbh. Being a Gaga fan for a long time, there are always phases where I hate her fashion choices, but this wig has been going on for forever. I suppose its punishment to the beautiful hair during g.u.y.

I'm still pressed they didn't include any original tracks. Like, jazz songs are great, but make this appealing to at least a somewhat wider audience.
