NONONONO 709 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 With the all Grace Jones thing, I started thinking about other people in the past who have directly criticised Gaga, mainly those who inspired her directly. We all know the all Madonna thing, we know that Bowie also never wanted anything to do with Gaga, we all know the Grace Jones drama with the 'Doris has no soul' thing, and Beth Ditto called Gaga 'Madonna for kids' and so on. Here are other not so kind comments:“She models herself on Grace Jones and Madonna, but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza music, you know? She’s not progressive, but she’s a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I ****ing do!” – M.I.A.“It’s hard for me to talk about it; I’ve seen a couple of videos of hers, and not for very long. I stop watching them each time because I don’t think there’s melodies. I’m sorry to be negative…But to me, even if it’s popular, there is a quality in the music you have to be able to appreciate. And I don’t see it. Her melodies are very conventional.” – Michel Gondry“I definitely like some of the outfits she’s worn. The music? It’s not my thing. I mean, I don’t judge it. One thing good about music is that you can have all sorts of music. You can have… easy-listening new age music…which actually is even bigger than Gaga! Classical music. You can have billions…” - Bjork“She’s what I call a meteor — singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. But then there are people like Neil Young who show up at Glastonbury 40 years into their career. And that’s a very different kind of artist. The question is, will Lady Gaga be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years’ time? She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing’s perfect.” - Tori Amos How do you guys feel about it? Do you think Gaga gets hurt by this?

gagzus 13,644 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I care more as to whether she's happy, making good music, tours etc & if the people around her professionally & personally make her happy but grounded.The people who have said negative things about her are not played on radio, have not had a top ten hit in a long time, nor played on radio anymore and have not been relevant in the public eye for at least a decade & she's never been friends with them really so it doesn't bother me at all. The most notable person to diss her had to perform her song on tour and give her royalty checks in order to grasp some attention and the others throw disses to get a few articles or headlines i'm glad she can help the lessers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartySick 133,783 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 It's perfectly fine to be a critic imo, but to all the people dismissing her as a passing fad or some freak of nature culmination of past stars, they're 100% WRONG.Grace Jones is the definition of wrong. Bjork and Tori Amos, I'd call them critics but it doesn't seem that they're detracting much from her. Just giving their opinions. 🖤 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 There are so many legends that have praised Gaga, that I can't worry about these few that don't care for her. We would need several pages if we posted all the praise from those in the music industry. The praise and positive comments FAR outweighs this small amount of bitterness and negativity!

RAMROD 95,560 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 IDK, I only disagrees with Grace Jones cos the thing I got from her b---hing lately was bitter, desperation, and try hard to sell her newly published book.The other opinions are just that opinions, and not that offensive.

Whispering 18,865 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 And idk Tori but she's still wrong and her last name is the name of a cookie company so unless she's associated with that idcWait!

Gohan 15,032 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 And Tori Amos' comment sounds as pressed as every other jealous girl that can't appreciate someone talented succeeding. Like, are you a fortune teller or what so you assume that she won't be having lasting touring/general success? Lmao tryna go ask Alice, tryna catch that rabbit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
