Okay, first off, I have to say that I had no idea that Bradley Cooper could sing. I was totally wrong in that assumption as he has a beautiful, soothing voice when he sings.

Okay, now that’s out of the way…let’s move on! A few things you should know before we get started:

  • A Star is Born is an upcoming musical, romantic, drama movie, starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.
  • Jackson Maine (Cooper), a seasoned musician, takes Ally (Gaga), a struggling artist, under his wings.
  • Ally had pretty much given up on her dream of becoming a famous singer, until Jackson coaxes her into the limelight.
  • However, Jackson soon finds his own career in a downward spiral, as he deals with his inner demons, mainly aging and alcoholism.

A Star is Born is set to be released in movie theaters on October 5, 2018.
