M.I.A. recently blasted Lady Gaga in a NME interview when asked about the comparisons between the two.
“She models herself after Grace Jones and Madonna but the music sounds like 20-year-old Ibiza disco. She’s not progressive, but she’s a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I fucking do! That’s a talent… but she’s the industry’s last stab at making itself important.”
We are not taking sides on this one, but this comments are quite harsh considering Lady Gaga prides herself on being original and an artist.
Theoretically, we live in a culture where we are so quick to criticize someone else for the things they do. Sometimes we can become so self-righteous that we cast off anybody who isn't like us. Our differences are what make us unique and downing somebody for having their own style, is not helping us progess forward. We should learn how to apprciate the next person in a way that everybody can be happy.
