Jean Paul Gaultier talks about Gaga

The renowned French designer, Jean Paul Gaultier, has made some statements that have not sat very well with the Little Monsters. Apparently said that Gaga no have style.
"It's very provocative and unconventional, but after all not have a style that characterizes her," said the designer.
The designer said 59 years admire "the courage" to Gaga, but said it is not original, when choosing your dress. "Not surprisingly, scantily clad singers, and were exploited too much in the 80's," he recalled. Gaultier found that many artists lack a style.
"For me, at this moment there are not many personalities, strong as it was Amy Winehouse."
Despite all this, I believe that the designer, go with bad intentions in his statements, since the relationship between Gaga and he is very close.

Lady Gaga Is Like 'Picasso' According To Tony Bennett

Gaga has been compared to Picasso by Tony Bennett.

The legendary crooner compared the 'Hair' singer to the Spanish surrealist painter after recording a track with her for his 'Duets II' album.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "She came in so prepared and so knowledgeable about what to do. She's as good as Ella Fitzgerald or anybody you want to come up with.
"And that's without her dancing and her philosophies about breaking myths that are incorrect and social situations. She's very strong. I know it sounds way out, but she could become America's Picasso if they leave her alone and let her just do what she has to do. She is very, very talented."
Tony also duetted with the late Amy Winehouse - who died from accidental alcohol poisoning last July - on the album, and although she was sober on the day he met her, he was planning to intervene and try to help her get her life back on track.
He added: "Because of my 85th birthday, the BBC did a television special and I wanted her on that show. Right after the 'Duets II' recording, I said, 'I'm going to talk to her and tell her to cool it, because she's going to destroy herself. I'm going to talk her out of it.'

"When I got the call telling me she died, I couldn't believe it. She didn't look that ill when we recorded that day. She was absolutely sober . That's why I felt that I could help her."

Lady Gaga pays a visit to Amy Winehouse's former home

Gaga has made a secret visit to Amy Winehouse's former home.
Lady Gaga went to the house where Amy Winehouse was found dead in July at the age of 27 in Camden, north London to "pay respects to a musical hero" and went unnoticed by fans. 
A source said: "She went in disguise and kept things low key."
Gaga has previously spoken about her devastation at Amy's death, revealing she couldn't speak for two days after hearing the tragic news.
In the wake of her passing she said: "I'm so devastated and so sad. I really couldn't speak for, like, 48 hours straight. I was in such shock.

"I don't think Amy needed to learn any lessons. I think the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar.

"Everybody was so hard on her, and everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and kind woman."
Last week, Gaga – who has previously revealed she was often mistaken for Amy when she had dark hair – was linked with a role in a proposed biopic about the troubled star.
A source said: "Lady Gaga worshiped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen. She'd be spot on performing Amy's songs and has got the right look and attitude.

"Gaga's been itching to make the transition from music into movies and sees this as the ideal role to launch her film career."said a source.

Lady Gaga was not invited to the tribute to Amy Winehouse

Chicago’s B96 announced the possibility of an Amy Winehouse tribute concert this morning, so your Chicago Pop Music Examiner looked into this by talking with the possible promoter, Scott Winstone Productions.

The tribute would take place at Wrigley Field, which has become a viable concert location after the success of the Paul McCarthy series last month. Possible attendees include Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and all of Michael Jackson’s children.

Scott Winstone says that acts such as Prince, Elton John, Katy Perry, and Britney Spears are almost definite performers, while Lady Gaga and Madonna would not be invited. “Amy Winehouse, an activist for children, always felt Madonna was a bad influence on children while she considered Lady Gaga to be a complete fake.” More acts are being contacted within the next couple weeks. The concert would take place next spring.

“Amy Winehouse had her demons, but was a great inspiration for both children and adults. Her legacy simply cannot be repeated,” says Winstone.

What think about this?
