M.I.A. admires Madonna and disses Lady Gaga

4

M.I.A. recently did an interview with the NY Times, and gave her opinion on both Madonna and Lady Gaga.

“Madonna is the one. Madonna did amazing songs. She had an amazing sense of style, without a stylist. And she was flawed, and sometimes she admitted it. I’ll fight the fight for Madonna. I think she should send me some chocolates or something to thank me.”

“With our video, we were really copying ‘Telephone.’ Both our videos are road movies. We kill people, and they kill people. They start out in a prison, and we start out in a squat, hunting people down. I can’t talk about GaGa anymore. All I’ll say is, it’s upsetting when babies say ga-ga now. It used to be innocent. Now, they’re calling her name. You can’t really say that GaGa is culturally a change. Madonna was truly unique.”

Track listing for Will Young’s “Leave Right Now”

The tracklisting for the hodgepodge of a compilation of Will Young’s career which is supposed to catapult him to US fame is:

• Leave Right Now

• Your Game
• Friday’s Child
• Switch It On
• All Time Love
• Who Am I
• Changes
• Grace

At least they included “Friday’s Child” but other tracks like “Love” and the cover of Luther Vandross’s “Love The One You’re With” (and The Doors’ “Light My Fire”) are absolutely essential in an in any Will Young collection.
