85-year-old Tony Bennett likened pop icon Lady Gaga to Picasso while talking about working with her on his collaborative album 'Duets II'. 

The pair recorded a rousing rendition of 'The Lady Is A Tramp' back in 2011 and the 'Marry The Night' star even posed naked for Bennett so that he could sketch her, and he has now praised both her professionalism and potential in a new interview with Rolling Stone:

"She came in so prepared and so knowledgeable about what to do. She's as good as Ella Fitzgerald or anybody you want to come up with."

"And that's without her dancing and her philosophies about breaking myths that are incorrect and social situations. She's very strong. I know it sounds way out, but she could become America's Picasso if they leave her alone and let her just do what she has to do. She is very, very talented."
