Inferno 2,880 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Imo she met Gaga when she was 23, still green and fresh into her fame with the arrogance that catapulting to worldwide phenomenon status would bring. Grace isn't really the type to let that slide and regardless shes entitled to her opinions I mean she really doesn't like that many popular artists. Im sure it was a bummer for Gaga tbh. Shes talked about meeting idols and how sometimes you meet them and you realize that theyre jerks, im sure Grace was an example of that for her.

She said Gaga didnt't "have a soul"/she didn't knoe what she was talking about or something like that. U can even see on the picture how uncomfortable Grace was lol Actually she first made her opinions on Gaga public in 2009 (That photo the user posted, I believe, may be photoshopped). However, this 2017 interview makes it clear she never changed them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like...I really don't get why that LM on twitter posted that old clip unless she just wanted to stir the sh*t (some LM love to do that for some reason) and/or is unaware that Grace snarks on nearly everyone. And I suspect she never really had strong feelings towards Gaga either way, since Gaude has since photographed her and I feel like he wouldn't work with Gaga (since he's close with Grace still) if she really disliked her. I personally believe she doesn't mind her as a person as you say but doesn't respect her as a creative. Grace Jones on Lady Gaga + Kanye West (2016): "Gaga came to me, and I just could not find a soul. I come from church - maybe that has something to do with it. I like to get to the soul of a person. I just didnât feel a soul." And while Jones couldn't feel a soul, that doesn't by any means that she felt Lady Gaga was 'soulless': "She might have been freaked out with meeting me. This happened. Itâs okay, but then we met three times after, through [Philip] Treacy and, boy, I got so angry." Why was she angry with famed Irish designer Treacy, you ask: "I know Philip needed to make some money, but you know what, can you just wait until I finish my tour before you repeat what we are working on?" It's OK, Gaga isn't the only one who who's ripping off Jones' trademark look: "Â Kanye has been ripping off stuff from me and Jean-Paul Goude for a long time, so it was no surprise to me. Itâs so like, âI canât beat him, [so I guess Iâll try to] understand him." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlioncourt91 765 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 How can some proclaim to be knowledge in pop and art and NOT know who Grace Jones is? Especially with technology, Google and YouTube at your fingertips. She has a right to her opinion. Doesn't make her a bitch or any of the names she's been called in this thread.

dlioncourt91 765 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Back in the day artists were more upfront about their feelings and less about kissing ass 24/7. I can't imagine how you guys would handle when Whitney, Mariah, Madonna and others didn't mince words. "bUt ShEs CanCeLLeD?!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo 623 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 idk why people are giving grace jones the pass to be this rude to our lady. If this was the earlier days ya'll would've dragged her from hell and back like we did with Madge. Grace Jones is overrated imo. She isn't as original and the progenitor as she makes herself to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORD GAGA 1,271 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 On 4/22/2019 at 6:22 AM, Bio said: It's a pitty 'cause Gaga loves her. But at the same time I get what she means. Grace Jones turned fashion and music upside down and her style was very fresh and unusual. Gaga is a referential artist, everything she does is a reinterpretation of something that already exists and Ms Jones doesn't like that. If Lady Gaga is a referential artist then Grace Jones also fits the boot too, nothing is original and literally everything Grace did was done before in one way or another... she was just more mainstream is all, she also ride the coattails of being a friend of Andy Warhol a lot.

She's an older artist that I think was known for dressing up in very unusual ways  I don't know a lot about her but I remember in Gaga's early years Billboard had made a few comparisons and I remember Grace Jones wasn't the nicest about it  Grace seemed bitter and self conceded as if she was the reason and inspiration that made Gaga dress the way she did  But overall I don't know much about that artist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
