Those who watched Lady Gaga perform classics from "The Sound of Music" during a tribute to its 50th anniversary would not forget how the eccentric pop icon belted the high notes of well-loved songs from the 1965 film with sheer splendor at the 87th Academy Awards. This stellar performance has proven the singer's genius, which could also be said true with her latest album, "Cheek to Cheek."

The 2014 album, "Cheek to Cheek," was revolutionary and refreshing especially after Lady Gaga received much flak from her earlier launched album, "Artpop." It might seem that the failed album got nearly all of the unnecessary attention prior to Lady Gaga's Oscars performance. However, "Cheek to Cheek" tried to whisk away the criticism garnered from "Artpop," as it featured the other side of the artist that was rarely seen by the fans of the singer who loved to experiment with her craft.

Lady Gaga's "Cheek to Cheek" featured classics like "It Don't Mean a Thing" and "Lush Life." The album, which was released on Sept. 2014 was a collaboration with crooner Tony Bennett and featured the revival of many jazz hit favorites. The latest album stripped the singer of her quirky and amusing artistry and revealed her natural and amazing voice for everyone else to hear.

Meanwhile, it seemed that Lady Gaga has the good graces of her lucky stars once more as she went to Twitter and confirmed news that she would be part of the fifth installment of the American serial drama, "American Horror Story" titled "Hotel," which would be launched by October. This revelation came a few weeks after the finale of "American Horror Story: Freak Show," where the series creators also bade veteran actress Jessica Lange farewell after she decided to proceed with her retirement that was long overdue.

These fantastic turn of events for Lady Gaga would surely thrill her "little monsters," as they anticipate the singer's next showcase of talent and versatility.
