Lady Gaga drops her “Harlequin” album tomorrow night.
It’s all covers of standards except for the title song. “Folie à Deux” is her original composition. It will be used to get a Best Song nomination at the Oscars without a doubt. Gaga already has a couple of those, for “Hold My Hanf” and “Til it Happens to You.” She won an Oscar for “Shallow” from “A Star is Born.”
“Folie à Deux” will be one of two singles Gaga can enter at the Grammys in Best Song and Best Record. The other one is her hit with Bruno Mars, “Die with a Smile.” That could also get Best Song and Record. She could also see Best Vocal by a Duo or Group, and Best Pop or Traditional Pop Vocal.
All of a sudden, things are getting interesting.
