For Gaga, the film's song-and-dance numbers required a recalibration of her vocal talents. "People know me by my stage name, Lady Gaga, right? That's me as that performer, but that is not what this movie is; I'm playing a character. So I worked a lot on the way that I sang to come from Lee, and to not come from me as a performer," she tells Empire in the world-exclusive Joker: Folie À Deux cover feature. And given how Phillips' film integrates music into its milieu, Gaga had to follow suit. "How do you take music and have it just be an extension of the dialogue, as opposed to breaking into song for no conceivable reason?" she asks. "It was unlike anything I've ever done before."

 

As a result, you're about to hear a very different side to the Lady Gaga you know. "For me, there's plenty of bum notes, actually, from Lee," she laughs of her singing in the film. "I'm a trained singer, right? So even my breathing was different when I sang as Lee. When I breathe to sing on stage, I have this very controlled way to make sure that I'm on pitch and it's sustained at the right rhythm and amount of time, but Lee would never know how to do any of that. So it's like removing the technicality of the whole thing, removing my perceived art-form from it all and completely being inside of who she is."

 

In Gaga's hands, get ready for an all-new take on a fan-favourite character – one who's thrived in Batman: The Animated Series, comic books, the DCEU, and her own animated comedy. Lee is both the Harley Quinn you know, and one you really don't. "While there are some things that people would find familiar in her, it's really Gaga's own interpretation, and Scott [Silver, co-writer] and I's interpretation," explains Phillips. "She became the way how [Charles] Manson had girls that idolised him. The way that sometimes these [imprisoned murderers] have people that look up to them. There are things about Harley in the movie that were taken from the comic books, but we took it and moulded it to the way we wanted it to be." Prepare for a performance that's totally Gaga.

"I have been breathing since I was 7 years old" is coming! There could be 99 people breathing in a room but only one of them is Lee!

 

Whenever she messes up live we can say she was channeling Lee because she never fully left her

Thank God it's not a "classic musical"

Lee singing technique sounds like it's going to be on all her interviews this season.

I have to write this cause yall piss me offid say there are 3 groups of liddos, stans of a star, artist and a celebrity. Whats confusing is that her commercial peak is also her artistic peak so stans of an artist  get mixed up with stans of a star. Something like vegas show tunes or conservative Olympics performance might be exciting for stans of a star and a celebrity but from an artistic standpoint, thats nothing. And Im writing not to destroy your joy, be happy, sure, shes gonna get a lot of publicity, but because I cant stand those pretentious and actually uneducated liddos who confuse conservative, traditional music with growth and maturity and try to present themselves as sophisticated. Singing a traditional song in a traditional way is just a tribute, and thats fine but lets call a spade a spade.

My god that Empire cover is an eyesore.

Nah, I stan Gaga the artist. I just think the overdramatics about the fact that she sings jazz now too are ridiculous

You are clearly the one with the problem here: Gaga's jazz performances are extremely artistic: her moves, voice, piano skills, they all exude art and impossible-to-train artistic skills, they show her gift. It's not a tribute. Some of the most important artists of all time have only sang songs made by them or traditional standards  There's more art in the way Gaga sings, breathes and exists within her band than you'll ever produce - by far.

That's a great point and kinda explain why she sounded bit off in the trailer.

I think that was from her just singing low/almost whispering. I feel like vocal cracks are more likely to happen 

Lady Gaga had to train herself to sing in a manner that comes naturally to some of her contemporaries. Why?

That interview excerpt of hers raised my excitements levels tenfold  come through LEE!!

Look I'm sorry if I dampened the mood. I'm also excited for Gaga's performance! Just hope she brings something new and unexpected (not necessarily non-jazz really). As someone said it's a lot of emotions and discussion for a performance that didn't happen yet - I got too ahead of myself. 

Sister no need to say that, I know you're excited and you just wanted to share your opinion in general, which is something that everyone can do. Let's all respect each others opinions even if they are totally different than what we personally think. But saying to someone „stop being fan"? That's ******* rude.

By reading that interview, it sounds like Lee has been unburdened by what has been

I disagree, her show tunes are cute entertainment but hardly ever more than that. Some of the most important people of the past, back when this kind of music was relevant and unique, became great artists. But they did so by doing things that have never been done before, and they already did them. Modern jazz is completly different from what shes doing. Thats the point. Her jazz music has yet to recieve any real attention from jazz world. And thats okay, i have no problem with her doing her little covers, what i have problem with are stans who get pretentious. Thats who im ranting against.
