Barbra’s Advice to Lady Gaga

Now, let’s talk about Lady Gaga. The 32-year-old superstar reached out to Barbra before the film’s release, knowing she had some big shoes to fill. Barbra, always the supportive mentor, shared her wisdom with Gaga. “I told her to sing the songs live,” Barbra revealed to E! News. “And she wanted to do it live, so that’s good because that’s the best way to do it.” But she also acknowledged the differences between the two versions. “Their songs are different… it’s a good movie, it’s gonna be a hit.”
