Meryl Streep’s new film Ricki and the Flash features the actress performing Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” and a preview of the cover has made it to YouTube.
Streep has already showed off her vocal talent in movies like Into the Woods and Mamma Mia!, but she takes on another musical role in Ricki. The actress plays the title character, a woman who leaves her family to become a rock star. For the part, Streep also covered tracks like Tom Petty's "American Girl" and Bruce Springsteen's "My Love Will Not Let You Down."
According to Entertainment Weekly, only a few seconds of Streep’s “Bad Romance” cover can be heard in the film, but the full song is available on the soundtrack.
As previously reported, Ricki
director Jonathan Demme revealed: “We didn’t use playback. We're not
sweetening it up on the soundtrack. It's performance! I have to say with
our band -- I shouldn't say it, but I want to say what I feel in my
heart -- Ricki and the Flash blow away every original."
