From theatrical acoustic versions to a brief flirtation with ragtime, here are Lady Gaga's greatest piano performances.
An acoustic piano reading of ‘Paparazzi'
There's nothing about this that isn't brilliant. The dark piano opening toys with us, gradually bringing in the melody of the chorus before launching back into that stilted, staccato accompaniment. Official verdict: miles better than the original.
A brief performance of Scott Joplin's ‘Maple Leaf Rag'
This came from a French TV show in 2009, when Lady Gaga was asked to crack out some classical piano on the spot – and she wasn't even fazed. It might not have been a note-perfect performance, but no other popstar would have dared to do this. She's a Lady for a reason.
‘Joanne', the piano version
Gaga's stripped-down piano version of her 2016 single ‘Joanne' is slower and far more sombre than the original. The simple piano chords add a wonderful sense of peace to the ballad, which she wrote in memory of her late aunt Joanne Germanotta. Beautiful.
An acoustic performance of ‘Poker Face'
Gaga plays with us in this acoustic interpretation of ‘Poker Face'. She goes from jumpy staccato rhythms to booming chords, hitting us with those killer mezzo vocals over the top. She even plays with her shoe on the piano at the end, all the while dressed in a fabulously bespoke hat (of course).
A slowed-down piano version of ‘Bad Romance'
Lady Gaga is known for her dalliances in classical music, and the music video to her 2009 hit ‘Bad Romance' begins with Bach's Fugue in B minor from the Well-tempered Clavier Book I.
But this piano version is different: it's slowed-down, and shows off the incredible mezzo tones she has near the top of her range. Gaga, you're doing what so many pianists and singers should be doing already.
There have been a lot of phenomenal performers that we have seen over the years but every once in a while, there is one that stands out as being above and beyond. That is what we feel when we watch Lady Gaga performing and any time that we have the opportunity to hear her sing. She isn't just somebody that sings in the studio, altering her voice electronically. In fact, she has spoken out against autotune and says that she never does it in concert. When you hear her singing in concert, you have the opportunity to know that she is truly an amazing and talented individual.
In the video that you see below, Lady Gaga is playing one of her songs that is well known, ‘Poker Face'. It is an acoustic version of the song that will really show you the height and depth of her musical abilities. Of course, we can always count on Lady Gaga to do something a little bit out of the ordinary when it comes to the way that she dresses or some of her performance techniques. Even though this is a piano version of the song, she doesn't disappoint with a hat that is a little out of the ordinary and some glasses that really look good on her.

Lady Gaga did what it takes in order to become famous. She worked hard and the hard work ended up paying off because now she is performing in front of audiences of thousands of people. Even when she is performing in front of a small studio audience, however, she still does the best job that she possibly can.
We will always appreciate what Lady Gaga is able to do and anytime we have the opportunity to hear her sing, we will take it. She has one of those amazing voices that makes you want to turn up the radio, and when you hear her performing live, you instantly know that she is one of the best.
