LOS ANGELES: Lady Gaga has fashioned a comeback: Not with a new act of overt transgression, but singing jazz standards with Tony Bennett, embracing red-carpet Hollywood style, and broadly rejecting the excess of the past, The Guardian reports.

After a recent video of Gaga belting out the Edith Piaf classic La Vie en Rose on stage in Switzerland was posted on YouTube, US culture critics speculated that her embrace of apparent middle-of-the-road showbiz makes normalcy the “new transgression”.
