The most popular track from the Cherrytree Sessions EP on iTunes, this acoustic version of Poker Face shows the dynamic range of Gaga's voice and her prowess in playing the piano. It was released in late 2008, with a physical release of the EP on July 10th, 2010 alongside The Remix. (Piano Intro) (Verse 1) Take a breath. Stakes are high. Ashes to ashes hell here i go falling again. Wooo, baby we'll never will. We'll never win. Lady Gaga poker face intro chords, midi, notes, tab, tablature and sheet music for piano, keyboard, organ, synth, flute by Anonymous. On May 12, 2009, Gaga performed 'Poker Face' on The Ellen DeGeneres Show while wearing a gyroscope on her head, designed by theatrical hat designer Nasir Mazhar and playing the piano while standing on the stool. Gaga referred to the gyroscope as her 'Gaga barrier'.
She might be better known for her extraordinary mezzo voice and meat-inspired costumes, but Lady Gaga was also once accepted to study piano at Juilliard. Here are her most impressive moments on keys.
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.
