La Roux at the Mercury Prize 2009

[kamir00]

wow



[GrahamNificent]

Why all the Lady Gaga hate? I love La Roux too, of course, but Gaga has done so much for the world. They are both wonderful.

[MargotkaEllyRoux]

Elly is such a lovely woman. What she said to Noel Fielding, was totally adorable! :) I wish she won that Mercury Prize :(

[STEVIWOWZA]

She is real, I really like that too, and her music is awesome! Marilyn Manson reminds me of a Lady Gaga. Rhianna with the disturbia. Creepy, Tabboo and unique sells, oh and we cant forget sex. Which I am glad she doesnt put her body out there, but her talents instead. Good on ya La Roux!

[sedative3145]

she's real i like that. Not a fan of her music though

[MsAdolfHipster]

She looks like a tit and that's all she has going for her.......

[xXgorillazboosh11Xx]

noellll and la rouxxxxxxxx :) :)

[ofMilwaukee]

she meets noel fielding hahaha

[x3n0c1de]

Ave Ventura... pet detective....

[anticliche321]

"it doesn't make any sense to you love" aww she's so cute. I used to hate the movement trying to bring the 80's and 90's back but now I am lovin it! Loving your retro look and attitude girl!

[metronomic1]

@anticliche321 It's not about bringing back the 80's it's about love for synth-pop which happens to be associated with the 80's but has continued well beyond that time period

[twilighter4356]

lol 2 of my favourite people =D <3

[TheFunkadelicFan]

I'd do her in a flash!

[ROMANporno69]

jesus this guy named la roux's cunt stinks!

[sweiland75]

I have only recently discovered La Roux and I like her music and style.

[metronomic1]

@sweiland75 La Roux isnt her name, it's the bands name. It's not a solo act.

[PrincessGlowingStar]

In my opinion, I think she's way more prettier and talented than Lady GaGa, (not saying Lady GaGa is horrible), and I'm from the U.S....

And is it just me, or people from Britain a lot more respectful, mature and nice than us Americans? I love my country, but sometimes singers like these make some of OUR top singers look bad.

[metronomic1]

@PrincessGlowingStar Yeah I don't know about that. Gaga has been playing piano since she was 4 and was an incredibly successful songwriter before she created the Lady Gaga persona. The only artist to ever have 6 number 1 singles from a debut album kind of speaks for itself. I love La Roux and am thrilled they won the Grammy for best electronic album. There are obviously some similarities in the two's music but there are also differences. Apples and oranges. One can never taste like the other.

[pijanabudala2]

i luv Ellie!!

[kevinjonas7894]

[Argentohs]

La Roux Rules !! Lady caca haven ´t spirit

[SheenaMaria1]

[MJFLY100]

[nonethelesshey]

[Lkjshd66]

[MeganLovesMJ]

@NumarkHands111 hmmmmm an elly clone would be priceless;D

[NumarkHands111]

i would agree ...@MeganLovesMJ

[RicardoKP100]

I like and dislike. I think all this fashion does not follow fashion and end up creating fashion that is followed, it is quite ridiculous. But there is and will continue, it is a fact. But La Roux ..... La Roux .... Well, it's La Roux. Their music has a very nice and fun pace. And the lyrics do not get left behind. so my way of judging an artist (and should be yours) is by what he thinks and how he expresses himself defends. Not by the clothing, today more colorful than a rainbow.

[RicardoKP100]

Eu gosto e desgosto. Eu penso que toda essa moda de não seguir a moda e acabar gerando moda que é seguida, é bem ridícula. Mas existe e continuará, é um fato. Porém La Roux..... La Roux.... Bem, é La Roux. Suas músicas tem um gostoso bem e divertido ritmo. E as letras não ficam para atrás. então minha forma de julgar um artista (e deve ser a de vocês), é pelo que ele pensa defende e como se expressa. Não pelas vestimentas, hoje em dia mais coloridas do que um arco-íris.

[cgartarg]

I wish I could be his friend ^_^

[bananarama2208]

@cgartarg she's a girl. ;)

[cgartarg]

@bananarama2208 YES, I meant 'her' sorry for my broken english u.u

[bananarama2208]

@cgartarg ok :) just as u know, wasn't meaning to insult u or something like that ;)

[theej12354]

NOEL FIELDING! MY TWO FAV PEOPLE!

[Drinkinghotcoco]

why does everyone who is different have to be compared to that cunt gaga? fuck! gaga isnt the queen of uniqueness and she didnt start it first either!!

[maravilla1992]

@Drinkinghotcoco true

[disasterpiece112]

@Drinkinghotcoco gaga is just a bowie wannabe

[000Ryoko000]

@Drinkinghotcoco

for realz?!?! it's not like Lady Gaga invented "eccentricity"!!!!! sheesh...people only compare others to lady gaga if they're culturally and musically inept....obviously they haven't realized that there are SO MANY MORE artists out there that are just as amazing (or even more) as Lady Gaga. c'mon people...really....

[SheenaMaria1]

@Drinkinghotcoco cunt gaga? ya she isn't the queen of uniqueness but she's unique thats why. And don't get mad at her ain't her fault she's awesome. both goes to la roux 2

[dulsepaloma]

@SheenaMaria1 u damn right lady gaga and la roux are totally awsome i have actually been to lady gagas concerts in england it was really cool or should i say f***ing awsome!!!!!

[faithford18]

@dulsepaloma no lady(cunt) gaga is just a slut elly jackson wears her unique style right the way gaga wears it is just taking advantage so im with drinkinghotcoco

[60microphonemajesty]

@Drinkinghotcoco Thank you for that comment, seriously.La Roux makes Gaga look like bird shit drops on a mercedes in Manhattan.Again, TY.Elly all day.

[metronomic1]

@Drinkinghotcoco Chill the fuck out douchebag.

[Drinkinghotcoco]

@metronomic1 6 months late, dumbass lol?

[MargotkaEllyRoux]

@Drinkinghotcoco Well said. It's soo annoying when everyone compared Elly to Lady Gaga. They are different artists, like she (i mean Elly) said on interview. Gaga has totally weird outfits, La Roux has amazing 80's retro style.

[QueenAirNomad]

Elly's adorable, the beginning with Noel is sooo cute!

[unhorror]

es bellisima

[tenderheart17]

Awww....she's lovely.

[SirSmokeAlot86]

[yume3790]

[Malgorzata175]

La Roux should win Mercury Prize. What a pity they didn't :(((

[killer44life]

[supercanchero]

She seems to be lovely girl.

[iamtehlolrus]

well, of COURSE noel would be the one to compliment elly on her jacket.

they're both geniuses in their own right, and that suit is gorgeous. <3

[cholindo142]

[ipodtouch616]

[epsteinsmutha1]

Jesus Elly, you look like Ed Grimley going as Elton John for Halloween! You're adorable in your NME piece, why all this?

Oh what's it matter what I say? She's bulletproof.

[fghbv]

[Plaguechild258]

This was in my recommendations because I watched a documentry about serial killers. How the fuck are these two related?!

[joshthegod9]

What is the mercury prize?

[MrNodzilla]

@joshthegod9 . It's a music award that's supposed to launch up and coming bands. But it always awards bands you'll never hear again, fact ! Bands have won it that haven't even got a fan base or have really never been heard of ! It's a nonsense , the amount of great bands that are nominated year in year out who are rejected in favour of total rubbish is becoming laughable . I'm surprised the awards are still taken serious , but it's on tv so there you go !

[heyheymister]

i love how british people pronounce the tu sound, like she said chune instead of tune! how awesome is that!

[jesoby]

talk about saying the bleeding obvious, i've never heard of her and I could have given this interview.

[LittleMissLala5]

[kaylihurst]

[synysterlud]

@jtsegool its a girl/

[Sooklez]

Why is she constantly compared to Lady Gaga? I don't get it.

[takanuvathegreat]

@Sooklez ik shes not a whore liek lady tatas

[DrewSnyder95]

-333!! she's one of two people in which I just  enjoy listening to. Listening to as in their music of course but also just to hear her talk and tell of their opinions. Her and Lady Gaga. The only two in the world for me.

[AyameAzumi]

lol shes the sophisticated weird dresser....where as Gagas the provocative weird dresser lol

both good :) lol tho id consider dressing like La Roux more than Gaga lol

[faffieful]

[luverdude]

[giliwizzle]

[AvatarMarxon90]

Are the Mercury Prizes related to Freddie Mercury (I mean, were they named that way, because of Queen's vocalist)?

[barbiegirl671]

shes sick so shutup

[star3594]

@barbiegirl671 What do you mean shes sick???

[DJMdalia]

@star3594 I think she means either good sick like 'OH THATS A SICK BEAT DUDE!" or bad sick

[jasminrhea210]

@barbiegirl671 why do you say that?

[jolf1245]

@Brenomishima

I agree to that wholeheartedly.

I guess that not many people would notice but I feel that there's a very distinctive amount of "britishness" to her.

[lhart99]

she's very beautiful :-)

[DESYREE1sexysinger]

i agree with sin she is my lady gaga

[MrKyleSchick]

great personality.  love the energy

[demetria13234]

shes waaaayy better then lady gaga

[kat13chan]

@TheSinCalledDeath ur so right,i love her name XD

[metalhead19931]

YES!!! Noel Fielding and La Roux! two of my HEROS!

[Muriel124]

i like La Roux & Lady Gaga!! their music r both so amazing and i like their style very much~and they r both nice to people

[zerrumz]

who talks about lady gaga? its la roux baby!

[dima1978]

Why do you have to compare Gaga with La Roux? Just let them be different. The only similarity is their unconventional styles.

[SpecOps1987]

@dima1978 Why does your dad have to touch you at night?

[dima1978]

@SpecOps1987 he doesn't have to but i let him anyway. lol

[SpecOps1987]

@dima1978 Lol, good answer.

[phantom12321]

@dima1978 yeah, they are similar only in that they are very different.

[Mancsomi]

@dima1978 I rather stick with Peaches, if I must compare them :D

[KusinerneAF]

She's such a nice, cool, funny, pretty and smart person! oh, and talented, very.

[wibbleepop]

Haha Noel Fielding complementing La Roux. WIN

[wibbleepop]

She is my fucking idol. A bit of Lennon in there, I love it :)

[saeyeonific]

she's so NICE and GENUINE! it's so sweet.

[yurdeecraziest]

wish she was a boy

[Radio0Ga0Ga0]

oh god shes so gay even though shes not. im in love.

[wradj1]

@Radio0Ga0Ga0  lmaoooo ur stuped lol

[Arsezm13]

LA ROUX IS SOOO AWESOME!

LOVE HER MUSIC!

[fashklash]

she looks so much better without the stupid john lennon sunglasses. Don't know what it is with the english and their john lennon sunglasses. okay.. if you want to look like elton john....

[dandarkwing]

@fashklash Ok, time to roll out the f~~~ off yank p### routine is it? What a mug. I can't remember the last time I saw someone in 'John Lennon' glasses.

[fashklash]

@dandarkwing Why don't you google "John Lennon" Sunglasses? You'll see how popular they are in England. They're a niche market in Brittain, which is why all the shopping results market them in £'s. It's not that hard to spot a pair either. here's a clue; their lenses are big and ROUND.
