Kanye WestDuring his appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday (June 10), rapper Kanye West announced a co-headlining tour with Lady Gaga.

“She’s talented and so incredible that she’s not an opening act,” he said of Lady Gaga on “The View”. “We’re doing it together, with no opening act.”

West also took the opportunity to talk about “American Idol” winner Kris Allen’s cover of “Heartless,” and admit that there are artists who can sing the song better than the rapper himself.

“Everybody who sings the song, sings better than me,” he said jokingly to the hosts of “The View.” “The Fray are one of my favorite rock bands, they covered it [too] and that song got played on ‘American Idol’ twice.”

However, West credits his song-writing abilities and the melodies of his music as the reason a wide range of artists are able to cover his songs. “I always felt like I made melodies that were [like] country or Broadway melodies,” he told the ladies of “The View”.
