If like me, you have friends who are obsessed with Lady Gaga, you may have been dragged to the cinema to see 'A Star is Born'. I don't really know what I thought I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting a masterpiece.

I went to see it pretty much as soon as it came out, so I didn't know it would go on to gather all these nominations – I didn't know Bradley Cooper would be so good as a musician, I didn't know Gaga would be so good as an actress, and I didn't know the ride I'd be taken on.

It's just unbelievable.

This video explains how Bradley Cooper just "learned to become a musician" for the sake of this film, like that is something one just does and how the music always had to be performed by 'real musicians' (as opposed to casting actors for the band) – and how the process of directing the movie and bringing the storyline of the film also begat the sound itself, including the opening track 'Black Eyes' which Cooper himself wrote.

The video is from Lady Gaga's ENIGMA residency in Vegas which runs through 2019.
Not sure if Bradley Cooper will show up again though, based on how reluctant he was to get on stage.

what else is on our Radar?
