Lady Gaga on Tony Bennett: 'He has changed my career forever'

Superstar Lady Gaga spent part of this afternoon (September 24) hosting a Twitter Q&A session about her collaborative album with crooner Tony Bennett, which is entitled 'Cheek To Cheek'. 

The songstress initially opened up about her bond with Bennett and admitted that she is so grateful for his friendship because he has been so helpful and supportive of her:

"Tony told me Frank Sinatra changed his life when he said "For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business." Tony is MY Frank. What he has done for me will change my career forever. And I truly cherish our friendship.

One fan then asked her to explain jazz music in a way that's easy to digest and she explained: "Jazz music is the most honest music in the world. Artists must be their most honest when they sing it."

She was also quizzed on the difference between singing jazz and performing in a pop style, and admitted that there's something 'rebellious' about jazz that she's so in love with: "I feel freer singing jazz, it's my roots. It's rebellious. The more rules u break the better u r at improvising."
