  • Those eyebrows, bruh. I love those eyebrows.

    Also, Nicki Minaj is important to music right now, despite what you might think of her.

  • love her

  • lmao

  • She puts way too much effort into making herself looks ugly.

  • I love her lisp <3

  • Hipsters mad that their hipster queen isn't a hipster.  LOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • Jokes about lil wayne are not cool!!

  • i don't think her liking lil wayne is that much for a problem. but her presence reminds me of art school's freshmen. they just think they're so badass and they know everything. they wear some UO stuff and gets weird hair cut. but their point of view on their own industry still has yet to be matured. i don't think she necessarily looks up to lil wayne or nicki's music. but she wants that presence and the hype that they've created for themselves. so there goes another immature "artist" again.

  • I dunno. She could have just been dong that 'irony' thing that art school students like so much.

  • I find her so attractive yet unattractive at the same time. It's quite confusing.

  • "who is your idol"

    "lil wayne"

    *close window*

    *open itunes, delete every grimes song*

  • @heshy0 That's the most hipster thing I've ever heard. It's not enough to make good music, you have to like the right people too?

    Also, they asked who her idol was in terms of STAGE PRESCENCE, which is very different from musical taste.

  • She Reminds Me Of Red Mist From Kick-Ass. The Way She Talks :)

  • hey guys, let's agonise over the music that someone we like listens to! that's a worthwhile way to spend our time!

  • @calumjlindsay There's no objective purpose to life so any way that you choose to spend your time is equally pointless.

    Nihilism dude, it's the shit.

  • 10 seconds in "lil wayne or something" :turns video off:

  • "here's my tits"

  • like like like like like like

  • Maybe she's just being honest, haha. You kids kill me.

  • i really liek blakk dieth.

  • she says "like" more times than a valley girl, like omg

  • lil wayne is cool?

  • Plus she has a lisp and I like it a lot.

  • She's the nerdy girl in high school that nobody really payed any attention to, but now she's a great nerdy cool artist. She deserves all of this because Visions is a great album.

  • she seems like a really cool person

  • She's got a nice monobrow going on there. Still like her music.

  • I hate when artists that I like have a shit taste in music.

  • @redcommando1 right? wtf

  • @redcommando1 yet, she makes great music? seriously, why say something so pretentious? if you got nothing good to say, don't say it.

  • @crudeyrudey Why is it pretentious that I hate the fact she likes pretentious artists?.

  • @redcommando1 I hear ya. Her album Visions is better than anything most of the artists she mentions could even dream of making. Go fig.

  • @redcommando1 have you ever been to a little wayne concert?

  • @redcommando1 I know right!! I was depressed to hear that she likes Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj... what a let down!! She is so much better than both of them!!

  • @redcommando1

    If they restricted themselves to your taste in music, they wouldn't be artists you like. Listening to music you don't like gives them ideas that you like. Maybe if you didn't restrict yourself so much, you'd have better ideas, too.

  • @redcommando1 Oh yes, Nicky and Lil Wayne sucks.

  • SO HOT

  • Lil Wayne is someone to be admired in pop music (although his output for the last couple of years has been weaker) in that he puts out something extremely weird like Tha Carter III and it still sells a ton. Most million sellers these days are extremely conservative.

  • shes amazng i lob her

  • damn u niggas hate so much god damn...obviously her singing style is diffrent but i bet if u heard her voice on a track off some lord of the rings shit u wouldnt question it..lol its all about your perception...i like her nd she tryes to go big with her sound

  • wow! i thought her voice was almost as annoying her appearance.

  • where's your band bitch!? hahahahah awesome

  • marry me.

  • you wanna be yolandi

  • @jenbabes nawww she ain't no yo-landi and doesn't seem to try to be

  • @jenbabes lol

  • Shes like a little fairy child! I love her

  • yall hjating to much..she is a nice girl doing her thing..i think over time just like nebody she will evolve into somethign even greater..i like her music..nd pop music infiltrates the mainstream audience..so if u want mainstream appeal...pop stars would be a good reference...nd noone is not mainstream..the underground is essentially mainstream..its basically just not on the radio because arent indie songs on t.v commericials? then everyone looks it up..

  • 2012 Year Of The Grimes.

  • How can she admire such trashy artists? Doesnt she realize she is superior to all of them by far? She's far more genuine and talented than any of them.

  • @4Brownie4 maybe she's just not pretentious and can enjoy all kinds of music?

  • @enacra101 Theres a diference between enjoying and admiring/aspiring to resemble.

    Can you really compare rhianna to grimes? Because if you do that would be like comparing coca cola to orange juice...

  • @4Brownie4 if she aspires to be like those artists, is it really yours or my business? she has all the right in the world to listen to or mold herself after who so ever she likes, there is no reason to look down on her or the artists she likes, its her taste, her music and her life.

  • Comment removed

  • @enacra101 Well, don't be a hipocrite, just by looking for interviews and her music, you're trying to know her better and form an opinion about her hence, you're also getting into "her business". IMO she shouldnt be so modest towards those crappy artists as they have nothing on her.

  • @4Brownie4 by looking at interviews I personally want to learn more about her as an artist/person etc. I could care less about her musical preferences; I care about her music not the music she listens to. I'm not the biggest fan of some of the artist's she listed, but just because you don't like them doesn't make them crap in any way shape or form... looking down on them because their music isn't chalk full of art school bombast and pretension doesn't make you special.

    No offense.

  • @enacra101 Well, It can't be scientifically proven, but anyone with a certain musical knowledge or taste wont credit those artists as talented or good. If you do, I really feel sorry for you but then we don't share the same mental realm therefore we shouldnt talk anymore.

  • @4Brownie4 I agree, we shouldn't talk, I don't want to catch your unearned sense of self importance. Next time you want to call someone stupid or unintelligent, don't beat around the bush, using words out of context (your vocabulary is beyond your own understanding), come out and say it in a concise manner. funny how you showed a little bit of that art school bombast and pretension I was just talking about. Now, I'll gladly go and listen to all kinds of music, per usual.

    Have a nice life man.

  • 'yeah... i wanna be like, knob twisting and all that"

    .... she's funny !!

  • She's cute.

    I love how she talks.

  • ser joven.

  • SHES SO CUTE AWWWW

  • thank god, she likes black dice too

  • Yeah so I probably wanna marry her

  • "you judgmental fags" hahaha what a contradiction

  • she's so sweet, I wasn't expecting her to be so adorable!

  • I'm sure a lot of you are wondering what the first song featured in the video is. It's hasn't been released yet, but a live version is up on youtube. It's entitled Grimes - Genesis, honestly its by far one of my favorite songs by her. The one that goes "and then I fall, and then I fall"

  • She's freaking adorable.

  • Like could you say 'like' anymore times? Like?

  • she is so beautiful. she is beautiful because she is HER. you all who think differently probably just need to fuck off; appearance shouldn't even be an issue. She's a musician, not a model.

  • i like her music but she does look terribly fucking like a hillbilly.

  • well she definately has a strong influence from bands like salem and oOoOO, and witchhouse in general is very rooted in hip hop culture. i started listening to witch house in conjunction with like gucci mane and waka flocka. i think thats what she's getting at. its just the notion of swag, and rap music's contribution to making beats and what not has really revolutionized pop music. just sayin.

  • Rhianna is not innovative, that is all.

  • shes fuckin great

  • where is the band bitch xDDD

  • hey is HELGA from Hey Arnold! JK I love Grimes!

  • I expected a very dossil introspective Gothy english girl, shes not AT ALL what I expected, lil wayne sucks and so does niki minaj, but hey whatever works for her, Shes unique

  • Her singing voice is completely different from her speaking voice... weird but cool.

  • WHERES YOUR BAND BITCH???

  • Who cares about her eyebrows will someone answer the fucking question about the song at the beginning?

  • She is amazing!!

  • I wanna be like aaaa you know... like aaaa you know.

  • <3

  • WHAT SONG IS THAT RIGHT AT THE START?

  • yeah i kinda wish i had never heard her speek itl be harder to appreciate her music now

  • @targetdemographic cuz you're a pretentious faggot

  • @DeaflyBlind lol i like bands like grimes because i AM a pretentious fag and honestly i say this proudly. ive honestly tryed to bring myself to like lil wayne nikki manaj rianah and most new music that gets played on the radio its not good. im surprised and dissapointed that these are her influences

  • @targetdemographic dissapointed...she said his stage performance influences her.

  • @DeaflyBlind true im noone to judge anybodys taste nor is anyone i guess

  • shes cute :3

  • LITHP.

  • It's really impressive to see her live, fully involved in every part of her music, all while singing and echoing her voice. Amazing talent!

  • You guys complaining about her admiration of pop artists are serious dumbshits. Using "like" so much just shows that she's nervous more than anything else, you judgmental fags.

  • @spiritplx Like really? I like, think it makes girls sound like, stupid. "Umm hi, my name is Dr. Kerson and I'll like, be like your heart surgeon today? My like, qualifications are, well, like, I graduated at like the top of my class at like Harvard Medical School?" You can't say anything and be taken seriously if you do that and I firmly believe that as a woman, we all need to stop using that word so often and quit sounding like everything is a question.

  • Helga references and comments on the thickness of her eyebrows should be irrelevant. However, using "like" for every other word does not make her sound intelligent and does nothing to empower female artists.

  • @ana238802 I think she's just a bit nerdy/socially awkward! I find it endearing...

  • She seems really socially awkward.

  • That single she has out "Vanessa"  is smart and catchy...but unfortunately she is not. And her answers of what pop stars she admires are real dissappointments...and she seriously needs to stop saying "Like"....that shit is just annoying.

  • @killblondes

    Vanessa is from ages ago. Try to keep up.

  • some girls can totally rock the thick eyebrows..

    some can't.

    this girl obviously cannot.

  • oh man i had a lisp as a kid but watching this makes me wonder if i still have a hint of it.

  • she even talks like helga

  • I like her lisp too, because I have one, but geez she says "like" more times than a LA Valley Girl!

  • She reminds me of Helga from Hey Arnold.

  • @hkim927

    It's the eyebrows, trust me.

  • She's actually really pretty, but it pisses me off how hard she's fighting against it.

  • @DarkSacoura23 I was thinking the same shit... shes gorgeous but she doesn't know how to work it

  • @hollycoot yeaaaaah like daaaamn giiirl she cant WORK IT GURLLLLLL WORK IT GURLLLLLLLLLL,,,,,,,,,,,,,GURL IT LIKE SHIT MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN...

  • I want to pluck her eyebrows.

  • Retarded girls are sooo sexy...

  • So what's the first song? It's not "Vanessa" which starts at 1:10.

  • her lisp is cute

  • @wuteffer I agree.

  • She's hot

  • I LOVE HER

    YEA CANADA

    YEA WOMEN

    YEA MUSIC

  • KATY B SUX the most inconceivable pop star ever only in Britain thank god

  • She's so cute.. I love her style. She seems like a very fucking cool girl!

  • as someone who grew up in the punk/indie rock scene where dancing was frowned upon, and women frowned upon even more, there is a real special place in my heart for this kind of music. i really believe that badasses like grimes, austra and tasseomancy are marking an awesome new wave of experimental electronic music and i feel really lucky to be able to go see them live and support them. fuck yeah.

  • @juanitagangle Zola Jesus has this on lock. Pick up her new cd. Its flawless.

  • @juanitagangle

    She makes pop music, not experimental electronic music (don't get me weong, i adore the girl). She might throw in some leftfield textures, but lets not speak in hyperbole.

  • She is so wack.

  • i don't care who she likes (lil wayne, katy b, minaj) but she does actually sound like an idiot. she's not very well-spoken at all so it's weird that she says she wants her music to be smart, especially coming from someone whose budget for the vanessa video was all spent on booze and who has stated she isn't a musician (pitchfork interview), she just uses GarageBand. it's embarrassing.

  • @inthewolf

    damn i just read the pitchfork interview

    fuck this bitch

    uffie 2.0

    o well

  • @inthewolf

    Zola Jesus doesn't come across any "smarter" in the interviews i have seen with her, only more pretentious.

  • what is the name of the first song that showed her playing?!?! I cant find the name of it any where:/

  • @xPinkxLady

    song; Vanessa

  • It's called an opinion, last time i checked we all had one. No one said anytthing about innovation. But since you brought it up, gold chains and half naked girls? stupid ass wigs and the dumbest shit you can possibly wear, wow dude, real innovative. Used to be an ignorant ass huh? sounds like you still are, or are you being innovative?

  • "Do you want your music to be SMART?"

  • @opsysbug LOL

  • I was diggin her until she started talking.

  • @TidesAreHigh Why? I think she's got some pretty insightful things to say.

  • @danielonoda im sorry. i didnt mean to offend you. Its just the references to lil wayne and niki minaj were a complete turn off. I think that whole industry is lifeless and regurgitated.

  • @TidesAreHigh What's wrong with lil wayne and nicki minaj ? Do you have to be "underground" to be innovative ? Does innovation stop when you become famous ? To me it sounds like your one of those hipsters that like to like things until other people starting liking them. You think it's cool to like shit other people don't. I used to be an ignorant ass like that too.

  • @Pomaori

    your defending gay ass wayne

    hahahahaha

  • @APimpNamedLoui Wow, coming from someone who uses gay as an insult. I am guessing your one of those hipsters. What is wrong with his music ? seriously ? If you know anything about hip hop you would know that there was a period around 06, drought 3, comes to mind where he was the undisputed best rapper in the world. If you knew hip hop or his discography you wouldn't be such a mindless hater. I don't care for wayne but I am not a drone/hipster hater

  • @TidesAreHigh Agreed. I was thinking her influences would be more along the lines of Cocteau Twins or Slowdive maybe... but propping up lil wayne? is she joking?

  • @jam1e9 great minds think alike. Slowdive<3

  • @jam1e9

    Slowdive?

    i don't hear it. Guthrie-less Cocteaus, maybe.

  • @Shirokinukatsukami I guess you didn't realize I was throwing out names of whom I thought would be possible influences... (not comparing her sound to theirs)...

  • @jam1e9 Just shoked that she gave Lil Wayne any credit, but i'm sure that she's joking.

  • @TidesAreHigh The question was about stage presence. Not musical style.

  • @floppybiscuits Really? ya think? 

  • what song is that of the 00:13 minutes???

  • what terrible questions

  • lil wayne??????? wtf

  • I respect that she doesnt trash contemporary pop simply to take that stand against it cause its the thing to do - top 40 is pretty recycled garbage but there can be some innovators amongst the group and she recognizes that.

  • i love her voice. speaking and singing. what a positive person.

  • Nice Madonna-like do! :D

  • she so cooooool

  • i like indie electro rock. she seems profound.
