Lady Gaga drops her “Harlequin” album tomorrow night.
It’s all covers of standards except for two title songs: “The Joker” “Folie à Deux” are her original compositions. They 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 Hand” and “Til it Happens to You.” She won an Oscar for “Shallow” from “A Star is Born.”
“The Joker” debuts now before the album arrives.
“The Joker” and “Folie à Deux” will be one of three 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.
