Does Prince like Lady Gaga?

Has Prince ever made any comments about Lady Gaga and his perception of her talent/skills? I read an interview from a while back that said Lady Gaga and her producer had "lengthy" discussions about Prince and how they (I suppose) were crafting her image to be similar to his....

In the vocal department Beyonce wins hands down.

In the songwriting/producing department both suck.

Bouncy wins vocally yes.... but behind the piano and just being a songwriter in general Gaga wins. there's more to coming up with catchy melodies than it looks.

Beyonce is better than Lady Gaga vocally? On what planet? Certainly not this one! Beyonce yoddles and screams, totally irritating hack....Lady Gaga actually seems to have a better voice,IMO.

Hey Dizzles, well I disagree about her vocally but agree yes is she very irritating, I just wish I could run away from her overexposure forever, you know without having to move to Bahrain or something to get away from her yoddling, fake body parts/hair, etc. LOL.

Thanks to Digital for the pic...yeah she's totally channeling Prince there smile

http://www.guardian.co.uk...e-internet

"Michael [Jackson] and I both came along at a time when there was nothing. MTV didn't have anyone who was visual. Bowie, maybe. A lot of people made great records, but dressed like they were going to the supermarket."

He thinks flamboyant showmanship is making a comeback but, he adds: "How many people have substance, or are they just putting on crazy clothes?"

What does he make of Lady Gaga? "I don't know," Prince says diplomatically. "I'd have to meet her."

Hey Militant, thanks for the article. I just read it. So, what do you think about his comments about Lady Gaga? I find it interesting that (from the way it's written), he quickly changed the subject to Adele.....I think I've done that before, when someone mentions a singer or something I don't like, I'll just change the subject to someone that I actually LIKE, lol smile

he's worked with far less talented female artists in the past so he must think she's somewhat talented.

i think he likes female artists that won't out-flash him... Gaga's entire get up would make him look like he showed up in a hoodie.

Yeah, I think that can be said about Rihanna too--she is such a talentless hack for the braindead lol...so why the heck did Prince play clips from Rihanna songs at his W2A tour when she is clearly a studio artist?

visually she's breaking every rule, to the extreme. reminds me of someone we know lol

she can also rock that piana, sing like a giant, and her songs are about much more than the usual 'i love a boy' kindergarten themes.

she's not my cup of tea over-all, but she's way more talented and creative than most in that scene.

she rips the pants off all those bland slow-song 'trying to be cool' indie artists who rely on their hippy clothes to sell their vibe.

i can see why this generation likes her. she dares to be totally different, not just another stereotype, or symbol of mediocrity.

whilst some of her creations border on distortions, she didnt lose my attention for a moment.

she mentioned when she was young she was bullied a lot and some guys and girls even threw her in a dumpster.

good on her for not letting nasty people break her spirit down into a people pleasing artist.

she's gaga and she's honest. not trying to front. just putting it out there.

i can dig that. good luck to her. she's got my vote.

He probably digs some songs, yes; but I bet he also thinks "she's making the same mistakes I did"... lol

Here we go again with the comparisons. Why can't folks ever talk about an artist without downing another artist. To me that says they don't have good enough credentials to stand on their own. Both Beyonce and Lady Gaga have their pros and cons. Some people say Beyonce can't sing and dresses slutty, I say Lady Gaga try's too damn hard and dresses just plain stupid but I don't go around trying to put one artist that I like on a pedestal and try to make them the best thing on the planet by belittling another artist. That's so damn annoying.
I respect them both in their own right.

hey 2020, wow I didn't know about Dale Bozzio but wow the pictures are pretty damning of Lady Gaga, perhaps that explains Prince's (assumingly) disdain for Lady Gaga....well, I think she's very talented but these pictures and her recent Born this Way backstage video is extremely Madonna-esque....

mm prince doesnt rip anyone off, never has. lol

but hey, he's 53 now, he likes his 'mature-people' music, artists who strum their guitars etc...

i can see why gaga might be a bit too raunchy for him wink
