...you'll be needing to turn in your Org card now mister... Sorry. I kind of got caught up in the moment.  
That's OK, it happens. For your penance, you'll need to recite the chorus to "My Name Is Prince" three times and generate a photoshop of Lady Gaga giving Prince hea...aaah...er...nevermind about that last one. Wouldn't want the Paisly Lawyers coming down on the Org over this. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Meaning Grace Jones not mentioning her name is clear indication that she's unmoved and unbothered by Gaga. The interviewer brought her up, Grace Jones gave face, said a few words and the interviewer moved on to more interesting things. Now what?  | |

I am a 70s baby and I listen to much music of the 80s and I will NOT deify that era of music. If today's "dance" music is bad in people's eyes, there is an origin for this. This didn't happen overnight. No, definitely not all music from the 60s-80s was better, but the majority of that time was DEFINITELY BETTER than the music now!  Not really. The only difference is 60s-80s music related to the people of that period. Today's pop music=80s Dance Music=70s Disco. The same criticism that this generation's pop music get especially in here, was given to the 60s-80s | |

in the early 80's that thevoid spoke of, Prince was not well known for writing and producing his work...with Drity Mind and Controversy, the majority of people paid little attention to his music and focused on his style and behavior...it wasn't until 1999 and Purple Rain that he received wide spread recogniton for his writing and producing...but thats a whole 'nother discussion...

A whole lot of recycling because artists today don't have the balls or the work ethic to create something innovative. Prince went out on one hell of a limb. To say people weren't paying attention to his music is a little strange, seeing as there are so many old school fans on this site... Honey, stop talking and just create the music. | |

And I think the point of the last statement you made was that many casual fans look at the image first and properly didn't respect his genius at first. It happens to many new artists coming into the scene. Nevertheless, you miss my point. All music genres are a variation or fusion of other genres. Even if an artist is progressive and innovative, it's still a variation or fusion of genres before them. That's why like I said, whatever is going on in today's generation of music, it didn't happen overnight. It actually goes back the 60s and on when you had labels like Motown looking the industry as more of a business. | |

At least the stars back then were able to fuse past genres, add something new and make it their own. Honey, stop talking and just create the music. | |

I can tell that Gaga gets her image and sound from Madonna, and Cindy Lauper but she "makes it her own" also. Gaga is not a carbon copy of those artists. | |

ernestsewell said: NaughtyKitty said: Grace Jones sounds bitter and jealous. Lady Gaga isnt copying anyone, but has she borrowed from other artists, yes! Aint nothing wrong with that. Gaga obviously has been inspired by many artists and singers of the 70s/80s, not just Grace Jones. Grace is jealous of Gaga's enormous success because Gaga is doing some of what Grace did and is getting rave reviews for it. Grace needs to stop hating.
Copying vs borrowed. VERY thin line. Gaga is one of the most unoriginal overhyped artists around right now. Grace has nothing to be jealous of. She's done her thing, and that's why there's a comparison. There was someone doing all this before Gaga - IT WAS GRACE JONES! Grace is the original here. AMEN. Iagree with u ernest. Lady Gaga is overhyped the good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge ~ Bertrand Russel | |

thejason said: somebody said its about style and not substance with Lady Gaga...and that could be true...
or it may simply be about making a living, 'cause aint too many 'artists' doing it for free... 
what are people looking for in music??? I think everybody has been affected by a song or an artist at some point...but in the end it's just fucking music... it's not some sacred thing that only a few enlightened artists should be allowed to succeed at...you can take it or leave it but the thought that music has to serve some higher purpose is even sillier than some of the songs/artists people complain about... I'm always amazed when I hear non-artists or non-musicians say things like "Music is my life." wtf??? so, if you were suddenly struck deaf, what would be your life then?? 
back on topic... Grace and Gaga...whatever...it's cute how people feel compelled to choose sides when it comes to artists like this... I like Gaga, I respect Grace....but neither one of them has taken me to some higher place with their music...I personally like Gagas music better than Graces but thats subjective and strictly my opinion...I know how fact and opinion can get all muddled up here so I thought I should point that out... I don't understand the importance of the theatrical costumes anyways. I honestly would bump to Gaga in my car, and I actually liked Jone's last CD. Overall, I think Gaga has changed the game. If Mozart were alive today, I'm sure he would want to collaborate. I think Prince might be to intimidated to collaborate with an artist who can hold her own like Gaga. Who's with me? Who. is. with. me????? | |
