She started with jazz - but let's face it. You can spend a career scraping by - show some leg and some crazy outfits and sing pop better than most and rake in a billion dollars - I dunno but she'd be pretty crazy not to.
Now she has the money - split from the management she was with partly due to her complaining that they were auto-tuning and turning her into a robotic sounding mess.
I don't have much issue with pop and to be blunt I liked her first album. For a first jazz effort it is solid and I hope she sticks with it. But I don't see why she can't cater to both. She's better than most pop singers - her jazz vocals are pretty solid but I agree with reviews about her overuse of vibrato and the occasional belting where restraint would be better.
Frankly, what I'd rather see from her is an attempt to WRITE some new jazz songs. Why does everyone have to always cover 50-70 year old music? You always wind up getting compared to Ella and everyone always winds up coming out on the losing end of those.
I liked Gaga when I heard this song with bare bones accompaniment.
