@humor78 it's the drag. Gaga's 'Joe Calderone' looks similar to Annie in this performance. could call it ripping off, or simply an hommage to Lennox. Whatever. anything's been done allready so most that's left is mixing it up and making it spicy again. Lame discussions..
@CuddlyCuddleFish Yeah , Okay 6Million albums are sold than yeah her sales are low , And smart ass if you r Pay attention you would know this . And Sale Would Be Low If Most People Brought The Album Within The First 3 Months [Which Is 5.8 Million] her album also leaked a weak before and when she did release her album she put all her songs on VEVO. So Being that her album Leaked a Weak Before and she still sold 1.2 Million The First week thats a Fucking achievement , PERIOD!
ANNIE LENNOX ON JO CALDERONE - "Gaga makes incredible art. She’s exceptional. The parallel was obvious, but whether she was copying me or somebody else doesn’t make any difference. Women have been wearing men’s clothes for centuries. It’s a powerful thing when a woman wears something less feminine. It’s saying; you must look at me slightly differently, I’m not just going to be a sexual object for you."
@tomooos why don't you post the rest of what Annie said. It goes like this:
"The only thing with Gaga is, she doesn’t move me. I see a lot of commerce in people’s lives; a lot of drive and ambition, but what I often feel is lacking is emotion. That’s what I love about Adele." to work to flog that? How hard is it to be different every single day? I wouldn’t want that kind of burden.
Q: So when Adele wears a very paired down look of just black...
A: It’s so refreshing. People are reminded what it’s about. We want to be touched. We don’t need all the fripperies and excesses. We just want her voice. The problem with Gaga is, the burnout possibilities are very high. It’s like how hard do you have to work to flog that? How hard is it to be different every single day? I wouldn’t want that kind of burden.
Don't believe me?stylist UK has the full interview
@doggett2009 Well Lady Gaga never said she was paying homage to Annie Lennox, & Gaga probably did copy her, hoping no one would notice. She copied numerous less famous artist :/
@BrowniieeDoll Well, I think that lady gaga just represented in the Grammy, the character in his new video "You and I". Yes, indeed there are some similarities, but I still think her much original. =)
@doggett2009 I think this current crop of "artists" have no sense of the past except as something to trawl in order make their own insipid mimicry seem unique. From nicki minaj, to Lady gaga, along with so many more, there seems to be a lack of true creativity these days.
I don't understand why there is so much fuss about Lady GaGa "copying". What about the various performers who do acts in drag, past and present?
I was born in the late 80s. I did not have the pleasure to witness such a mind-blowing performance from Annie Lennox in her male persona. I did, however, witness Lady GaGa's own take of her alter ego. Personally, I prefer GaGa over the performance of those in the hip-hop industry who cannot utter a sentence without the use of profanity.
@forlornly218 You Madonna fans are so defensive. Relax, she's still the queen. But you just proved my point. If it isn't the exact routine, it's not a rip-off. So, get over it.
@bonn777 Lmfao, its them and the Britney fans that perpetuate all this hate. Its like they really have nothing better to do... if Gaga ripped off Lennox, then Madonna ripped off Dietrich.
RT @MissKellyO: i love lady gaga but i wish she would start giving credit where credit is due! example.. (Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Are Made of This [Live at Grammy's 84]) 1984 PEOPLE!
Lady Gaga ripped this off at the MVAs last night... holy crap. I thought she just "borrowed" Madonna's stuff... Lennox is much hotter as a dude than Gaga every could be...
His many times has it been proven been that Gaga's nothing new? Lol. This is just another gimmick she stole from the past. I just think it's funny. Ha. :)
like this if you found this thanks to lady gaga biting yet another performer and not giving credit where credit is due! fuck lady gaga and all her monsters or whatever theyre called
Lady Gaga needs to stop trying to pass off these brilliant performances as her own. She is talented enough without the gimmicks. Just play your piano & sing girl! Don't copy be original. Annie is a legend, can not be copied. I'm not a Gaga hater, I love her music, I'm just tired of her theatrics
I remember this performance and being blown away by it. Don't remember who the host was but I remember him commenting how she had shown up looking like a woman. Or something like that.
As a twelve year old kid who just woke up in the middle of the night to sneak and watch the grammys,this androgynous look by Annie frightened and confused me . I thought I was still sleep because I never saw anything like that before.
I remember seeing this on TV when it happened. People were stunned. Even the jaded Grammys audience was gaping when Annie appeared as Elvis and did this song.
I love Annie Lennox and I love Lady Gaga.
