News about Tony Bennett

Rolling Stone began the new year by releasing a list of the 200 best singers of all time, ranging from Rosal to Aretha Frankin, and its picks and rankings have left some people scratched their heads. The publication published a list of top hitters, including Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Prince, and others in its top 20 on Monday. However, the list did not include other well-known music icons such as Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, Tony Bennett, and Madonna. Bruno Mars, Bruno Mars, Dionne Warwick, Pink, and Nat King Cole were all snubbed.

At his farewell concert on Nov. 20, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared a sincere message about Elton John. Both celebrities were seen on a compilation video played at the Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, which included celebrities thanking the legendary singer ahead of his appearance, which aired on Disney+. In the clip, Harry takes a moment to thank John for his friendship, especially with his family. "Thank you for being the friend that my mum had, and please thank you for being our friend, and thank you for being a mentor to our children," Harry says. The friendship between John and Princess Diana has been well publicized, as the two shared a special bond right up until her death in 1997. John extended his friendship to Harry and Prince William, as Harry illustrates now to his own children, Archie and Lilibet.

When visiting her pal Tony Bennett in New York City, Lady Gaga attempted to go incognito in a black trench coat, matching baseball cap, and a pair of oversized sunglasses. The 36-year-old pop star kept her head down while strolling down the sidewalk in a pair of sky-high black leather booties and light-wash jeans as she continued to catch up with her frequent collaborator, who recently turned 96. She sported a hot pink lipstick for the occasion and held her platinum blonde hair in a sleek ponytail.

As she accepted her first-ever Grammy, Lady Gaga swooped in to make sure SZA looked picture-perfect on stage. As she scaled the steps on crutches at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas to win the coveted pop duo/group performance with Doja Cat, the "Stupid Love" singer fixed the train of SZA's long floral dress. "I Get a Kick Out of You" by Gaga and Tony Bennett was also nominated for the award, but it didn't seem that she was in a loss for SZA as she fluffed her tulle gown and went from ear to ear. We love to see queens supporting queens. Although SZA did not walk the Grammys red carpet with no assistance, she had crutches on hand during the award presentation and used them to get from her seat to the podium. "I fell out of bed right before bed and get ready for this," she said backstage in the press room, but that's the way it goes. Well, everything awesome in my life has always had something a little bizarre, but it adds to the excitement.

The 2022 Grammy Awards, which were crowned on April 3rd, welcomed an eclectic group of winners. Jon Batiste, who had been nominated in 11 categories, went on to win five accolades, including album of the year. Silk Sonic, the R&B superduo starring Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak, received all four awards, including best of the year and song of the year. In addition, Doja Cat and SZA received best pop duo/group for their song "Kiss Me More," and Olivia Rodrigo received three awards, including best new artist. On their album "Love For Sale," Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett received the top traditional pop vocal album.

It's just another week for Lady Gaga, from presenting Best Picture at the Oscars to belting on the Grammys stage. Gaga blasted Chromatica to give the audience a big band experience for tonight's (April 3) Grammy Awards, performing tracks from Love for Sale, the jazz album she recorded with music legend Tony Bennett. Though Bennett could not attend the awards ceremony in person, he resigned from the stage last year due to his worsening Alzheimer's disease — he did film an introduction to Gaga's appearance, blowing the pop star a kiss.

And before the actual ceremony airs tonight (April 3), it's safe to say that the 64th Annual Grammy Awards have been a roller coaster. The show was originally scheduled to take place in January, but safety issues concerning COVID-19 forced the Recording Academy and CBS to postpone the event for the second year in a row. Organizers have taken action to ensure that the event was worth the wait: Billie Eilish, BTS, Lil Nas X, Olivia Rodrigo, Brandi Carlile, and the Brothers Osborne are among those expected to appear.

It's now Grammys season, and this year, it's also Jon Batiste season. The Recording Academy announced its 2022 nominees on Sunday (November 23), with some of the most unexpected and not-surprising nods given to some of the best musicians in the music industry. The recording Academy selected the jazz and R&B maestro (and Late Show with Stephen Colbert as the most-nominated artist out of a total of 21,730 eligible applicants). He received a total of 11 nods, including in the main categories of Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, and H.E.R. are right behind Batiste. Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo trail Billie with eight noms each; Olivia Rodrigo trails just behind with seven.
