Lady Gaga Performs ‘New York, New York’ at Frank Sinatra Tribute Concert [Watch]
Lady Gaga performed her own version of "New York, New York" at the recent Frank Sinatra tribute concert honoring the singer on what would have been his 100th birthday.
The 29-year-old "Born This Way" singer belted out her rendition of Sinatra's hit song at the "Sinatra 100" event, which welcomed several other artists paying homage as well, according to the Daily Mail.
In addition to Gaga, Nick Jonas performed "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," Celine Dion sang "All the Way," Carrie Underwood went with "Someone to Watch Over Me," Sam Smith did "My Funny Valentine," and John Legend took a shot at "Young at Heart."
Gaga's performance of the "Theme from New York, New York," however, seemed to stand out among the rest. For her performance, she donned a suit and hat, which allowed her to express her jazz side and also her crossdressing Jo Calderone personality. She was backed by a group of 1920s dancers wearing sequin flapper dresses.
Other stars in attendance at the event included Alicia Keys, Katharine McPhee, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Seth MacFarlane, Usher, Robert Patrick, LL Cool J, Quincy Jones, Chrissy Teigen, Tony Bennett, Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo, and Sinatra's daughter Nancy.
Gaga is used to singing jazz standards, as she did with Bennett on their duets album, "Cheek to Cheek," which was released Sept. 19, 2014. The album, which topped the Billboard 200 chart and U.S. Top Jazz Albums chart, produced the singles "Anything Goes" and "I Can't Give You Anything but Love."
It was reported in October that the duo would be reuniting to release a second jazz album. In an interview with Vulture, Bennett revealed the news he's working with Gaga on a follow-up offering.
Gaga is currently working on her upcoming album, tentatively titled "LG5" as well.
"Sinatra 100" aired on CBS on Sunday, Dec. 6.
