  1. I love how NME conveniently cut out the part about GaGa

    "I remember when one of the singers on the list of those who came after me first said that she wanted to work with me. Everyone around me is going: ‘You have to do it, it will be so good for you, it will introduce you to a whole new audience, you will make a lot of money’. No! It will be good for her; she will draw from everything I have built and add it to her brand, and I will get nothing back except for a little temporary attention. No one could believe that I said no, but I am okay on my own. I am okay not worrying about a new audience. If the **** don’t feel right, don’t **** it.

    With this one, who I will call Doris, I thought she was trying on other people’s outfits: she’s a baby in a closet full of other people’s clothes, a little girl playing dress-up, putting on shoes that don’t fit. I could see what she wanted to be when I watched her doing something when she started out that was starker and purer. Deep down, she doesn’t want to do all the dressing-up nonsense; she loses herself inside all the play-acting."

    It's obviously GaGa, since she said this in 2010:

    Pop music’s original diva of the night recently took on Lady Gaga in an interview with the Guardian newspaper. Asked how she felt about Gaga, Jones responded:

    “I really don’t think of her at all. I go about my business.”

    And what of accusations that Gaga had taken her style?

    “Well, you know, I’ve seen some things she’s worn that I’ve worn, and that does kind of piss me off.”

    Has Gaga asked her to collaborate?

    Yes, she did, but I said no,” Jones responded. “’Id just prefer to work with someone who is more original and someone who is not copying me, actually.”
