@TheSolaris810 no it was directed towards gaga she said she didn't want to work with someone who was copying her when she cleary wasn't and I disagree there were many performers during that time who were theatrical in voiding Sir Elton John
No one is completely original. Elton said that songs were variations of other songs that were written before. He had the theatrics of Liberace, and the closest I can think of to Grace is Josephoine Baker who was the first female super star of any colour on par with Madonna. It would be geat if Jones & Ga-Ga did a duet: it could happen. I also think that Jones bark is worst than her bite. Its all smoke and mirrors, and good fun really: tantrums and all.
@TheSolaris810 why can't more people be as mature as u :) I personally just haven't found any respect for grace b/c I just think she's is very ignorant and too accuse gaga of copying her when she hasn't is annoying grace wasn't the first to be theatrical yes grace is gagas inspiration I have respect for all of her influences but grace
I may be wrong, but I wonder if Graces remarks has more baggage than it is meant to be directed at Lady Ga-Ga personally. Grace I think is being short-sighted: were it not for the likes of Lady GG, a younger generation perhaps would not have tuned in to one of the performers who inspired her. Grace, a woman of colour, was completely out on her own in the 70s/80s with her androgenous look & personality. There was no one like her apart from her male counterpart, Bowie...
In a way I can understand her sour grapes so to speak: in the 70s and 80s her shows and videos were ahead of their time; and her contributions have perhaps been overlooked not so much by the public but by her record companies which is where I like to think she was directing her venom. Regrettably, Race does come in to it: that is why greats such as Nina Simone had such hatred for them. I love Grace, she is a beautiful nutter. She is also a very fine singer which is often over looked.
@rog809 Katy perry is a product Britney is a product educate urself a lil more old head grace didn't invent shit she just wore runway clothes from designers so don't tell me she invented anything she's a washed up diva who wants to stay relevant by saying someone copied her I have yet to see one out on gaga that grace wore people put outfits together but fail nice try stop being so jelous and face the fact that you old grace is done and isn't relevant
We are all relevant, even after we are gone. Grace was ga-ga b4 Ga-Ga. Warhol recognised in Grace what we still see in her: a physical, charismatic and gifted one-off. She started off as a top model, and only that extraordinary other worldly beauty and mind set she still has could have pulled off those bizarre creations. Divas are territorial by nature, thats why we love them also.Lady Ga-Ga will be too, when! she reaches Graces age if not b4. Enjoy them both.
@MatthewRusso it's the Internet not typing class jackass and coming from the immature old head old heads judging her on here really makes you hypocritical
This Ga-Ga v Jones is pointless. Gaga is 24, Grace is in her 60s. Its a given, that Grace Jones set the standard and judging by her last videos is still knocking most everyone else into second place. She will be doing it in her 90s. Thats who she is: not a product, but a wonderfully odd and brilliant alien, even when she is natural she is not of this world. So lets keep her that way, and not reduce her to fisty-cuffs with the talented earth-bound Ga-Ga who is just starting out comparatively.
sorry gaga is just a damn product from stylish she didn't create herself like Grace jones , yeah she can sing but she try to hard to be avant garde and she is just a clown a puppet from many stylish , Grace is just amazing and a complete muse for artist ... and cant be compare to such clown ..
Lady gaga I guess its just gaga -still waitin 4 Grace to hit the next Star Wars and to do some rap as if her music isnt enough. Her tooth looks a little chipped she has to fix it and never grow old-
The young 20 somethings are finally reailzing who Grace Jones is, and who Lady Gaga has been trying to impersonate. There is NO comparison. Grace Jones, for starters, can sing. No offense to you Gaga fans, but she's just, as Grace herself said it "Unoriginal, darling..." : )
@MathewRusso HATER your making it seem like grace is a vocalist her voice doesnt comapre To gaga,mariah,faithhill,beyonce,christina aquilera,barabra streisand,whitney being young has nothing to do with being educated ive studied music my whole life and i know about past and present artist gaga isnt unoriginal because shes theatrical makes her unorig gaga didnt invent thetaricality she hasnt wore anything grace has woren eduvate yourself instead of being an old head on youtube under a rock
During my very first shoot... while they did my make-up, "Pull up to my bumper" was playing! :-) She is just as amazing now as she was then to a nervous kid getting make-up put on for the 1st time! ;-)
I've been watching your video's all day!! There great, you inspired me to get back into healthy eating. Don't worry about the haters your doing a great job!!! :)
I love Grace Jones! Thank you so much for this vid...I love the song she sung on the soundtrack for the movie "Frantic" that starts at 2:40. I can't believe she is like 60+. Absolutely gorgeous!
I always admired her for being a "stand out" kind of woman. I really enjoyed growing up in the 80's and seeing her, one of the very few BW (black women) on TV.
My eyes were glued to the whole video! What a great moment to capture. Growing up, I remember being fixated on her from Conan the Barbarian. She still has her beauty and grace....I love it!
What is the name of the first song she is performing?
