KyliesChild 16,907 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Last fall, Lady Gaga put her own spin on the Chic classic, "I Want Your Love," as part of a fashion campaign for designer Tom Ford. Now, in a new interview with "Luke Baker Live," the three original lead vocalists of Chic -- Alfa Anderson, Luci Martin and Norma Jean Wright -- each reveal what they thought about Gaga's cover of their 1978 disco smash. As it turns out, their reactions couldn't be more divided. Ultimately, however, the women are grateful for the recognition. As Anderson puts it, "It's interesting to have a song that is more popular than you are." It's just one of many topics Baker covers in his wide-ranging interview with the ladies, the entirety of which can be viewed on his YouTube channel here. Baker, who is establishing himself as an out-and-proud, online media persona interested in highlighting diverse talents, has also had lengthy chats with supermodel extraordinaire Nancy Donahue and legendary hairstylist Harry King. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/chic-luke-baker-live_us_56e73657e4b065e2e3d70750 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edonis 28,950 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Why do so many older legends find issue with newer artists paying tribute to the past??? I know they were mixed and didn't really drag her or anything, (and I get that it's hard for any artist to see their own song or music be interpreted by others) but still. It seems bitter to me even when they have mixed opinions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she meant that to say that the song is more popular than Gaga, well I guess that they've been separated from civilization for quite some time Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sentence before: "Ultimately, however, the women are grateful for the recognition." Meaning the song is big but their names aren't, and a big star like Gaga doing the song brought it/them attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killa 17,495 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Well you guys need to chill. The thruth is that Gaga did great but she doesn't really know how to sing this repertoire. And they tried to not be shady. There's very little groove in her version and she's trying to have such a full voice that it's tiring. It's her same old problem, she tries a bit too hard. I do love the version and the video though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdAstra 2,649 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If you watch the full interview they were all very cordial about it. One loved it, while the other two thought it was just okay but all three agreed that she is greatly talented. There was really no shadiness at all. All three seem like lovely women.
