Nobody can deny Lady Gaga is on the crest of a wave. Everybody wants her in their shows, everybody wants to listen her music or, better, to see her videos.
Tori Amos is not so impressed by all this. For her, Lady Gaga is a novelty who won't be around for long.
“She’s what I call a meteor — singers who entertain people for a while,” says Amos.
“But then there are people like Neil Young who show up at Glastonbury 40 years into their career. And that’s a very different kind of artist.
Neil Young doesn’t have to get his bum out on stage!
The question is, will Lady Gaga be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time?
She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing’s perfect.”
According to some, Amos is saying what we're all thinking...who knows?
