"These songs show how truly amazing Lady GaGa is! She is very talented and extraordinarily unique! These couple of songs show that she doesn't need the sick crazy beats behind her to make her songs come to life. Her voice and piano playing on this version of "Poker Face" are so good! It shows she can really sing! I absolutely love Lady GaGa and these songs are great.



Bottom Line: If you want some extra Lady GaGa songs in your life, then download this awesome EP and discover what a great artist she is!!! :)"

Lady Gaga and a cherry tree!

"As my obsession with Lady Gaga grows (I never in a million years thought I'd ever utter those words) I find myself covered in glee as I discover these `Cherrytree Sessions' here. So far I've picked up two (this and Robyn's, both exceptional). If you want to get a different taste of three tracks off `The Fame', then this is a great buy!



The Piano and Voice version of `Poker Face' is outstanding, and if you've seen her play this live on any of her many television appearances then most likely you've heard at least the intro to this version, for she usually opens `Poker Face' on the piano. It's weird to think that the girl who lavishly dropped `Just Dance' on the unsuspecting public is actually talented, but OMG she really is, and this track is one of many that proves it.



Some have balked at the inclusion of the Stripped Down version of `Just Dance'. It's funny that the song that makes you famous actually becomes your Achilles Heal over time. This is one of her weakest tracks on `The Fame', but I actually like what she does with it here. Sure, it doesn't really feel `stripped' down (I would have loved to hear this over an acoustic guitar) but it works, and the short running time is a bonus. Regardless, her voice is very good, and it shows.



The biggest surprise for me came with the Electric Piano and Human Beat Box version of `Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)', namely because I really didn't like the original version of this song on `The Fame' and actually really LOVE what she does with it here. It has so much character and her vocals are stellar and the song that once appeared bland and boring springs to life with a beat boxing background that calls to mind Justin Timberlake's `Rock Your Body' (the closing, obviously). It was such a pleasant surprise to actually be taken aback by the way she recreated this track and delivered something superior and enticing.



So, this is a tiny little bundle, but it's worth it for any fan of La'Gaga, and who isn't a fan?"

4 out of 5 stars..for one reason.

"I LOVE the Poker Face stripped down version with Piano.



I ADORE the Eh, Eh remix with beatboxing.



I HATE the Just Dance "remix". It makes no sense to have included, it is way shortened, and does not even display a hint of her vocal talent (like the Poker Face one does.). Overall, though, it is a very nice GaGa addition."
