Grace Jones: "Lady Gaga is obsessed with me"

[bravenewworld 153]

In an interview for NY Times

What about Lady Gaga?

“She is obsessed!” Ms. Jones said, laughing dismissively. “She’s been trying to get me to work with her forever. She’s even gone to my brother in L.A. to get him to try and talk me into it.”

(The brother, Noel, later said that he was never approached by Lady Gaga, but that he is friends with someone in her “inner circle” and they discussed the idea of a collaboration.)

According to Ms. Jones: “I basically said: ‘Bring me something. Don’t just take something from me. If you want me to work with you, then come with an idea. Come with music. Dazzle me.’ People said, ‘Do you know how much money you can make working with her, collaborating with her?’ It’s never been about the money. And the fame, believe me, it’s a double-edged sword.”

In her memoir, she similarly criticizes the generation of young pop stars who “play the pioneer without taking the actual risk.”

With pride bordering on paranoia, she writes: “I have been so copied by those people who have made fortunes that people assume I am that rich. But I did things for the excitement, the dare, the fact that it was new, not for the money. And too many times I was the first, not the beneficiary.”

She names names, writing: “There’s a lot of that around at the moment. Be like Sasha Fierce. Be like Miley Cyrus. Be like Rihanna. Be like Lady Gaga. Be like Rita Ora and Sia. Be like Madonna. I cannot be like them, except to the extent that they are already being like me.”

Well, at least Madonna has some sense of reality. Grace, on the other hand.... she's the definition of delusional.

Girl BYE. Nobody is checking for your bitter ass. You should be flattered instead of bashing people for being inspired by your work. I wouldn't even know who you are if it weren't for Lady Gaga.
