Before I left for work this morning, the Today show ran a teeny-tiny clip of her singing "The Sound of Music." The talking heads were all raving about what a beautiful voice she actually has, and from the tiny bit I heard, I agree with them.

Here she is:
She gained my respect when I saw a video, a few years ago, of her singing one of her hits basically a capella. She was fantastic.

The opera boards were all a-buzz with discussion about Gaga's performance last night. Opinions run the gamut. I thought that she did a good job with repertoire that is not in her wheel house. And I give her credit because I can't think of any other current pop stars who could have done anywhere near as good a job. There were some diction issues, and her breathing was all over the place. But she did display good tone production, and she managed her passagio well. Her acting was nothing more than stock gestures, and she spent too much time with her eyes closed, which passes for emotional intensity in the pop world, but doesn't fly in theatre. The tattoos were utterly distracting.
Monika:
Lady Gaga is great, she is without a doubt both intelligent and gifted.
Very happy to see JK Simmons win. I've been a fan ever since "OZ"

I was at a party and they said the same thing about her tattoos.
I thought that I read somewhere that Gaga is classically trained as a vocalist. I could be wrong, though.
