Tori Amos is sort of like the matriarch of eccentric pop stars, but she has some criticism for Lady Gaga, who she fears has more style than substance. The 46-year-old Amos has been in the public eye for over twenty years, but she doesn’t think someone like Gaga has such staying power.
Amos explained, “She’s what I call a meteor – singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. 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!” Now we have a mental image of Neil Young in chaps, thanks for that, Tori.
She’s not entirely critical though, as she thinks Lady Gaga does have a place in entertainment right now. “She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing’s perfect.” We agree with Tori, but at the same time, no one could have predicted the longevity and appeal of a redheaded songstress who regularly credits faeries for helping her write her music.

i think she’s just jealous cos no one wants to see her bum.
Are you kidding? That was the smartest comment I’ve ever heard!
Who is Tori Amos..anyway?
Whoever wrote up this article really should have picked better pictures of both of these artists – those pictures make them look terrible.
Frankly, I agree with Tori. I really enjoy Lady Gaga’s music, but I don’t foresee her having any real lasting impact on music or going down as a legend or revolutionary. She’s big right now, but that means very little in the long run. Same for Katy Perry.
I KNOW WHO LADY GAGA IS BUT WHO THE OTHER PERSON!!….i think lady gaga will last a long time..she will always come up with something new….!! And for everyone that thinks lady gaga is ugly…YOU GUYS ARE WRONG..!! THAT GIRL IS BEAUTIFUL..!!

I agree with Tori. While I don’t like Lady Gaga’s music, I do admit that she is entertaining to look at. But the key word here is “entertaining”, just like Tori stated, that she is known more for her over-the-top costumes than music. I’m not saying its a bad thing, but she’s not going to have any longevity as a musician if she lets her image sell instead of her music.
@ Sophie and Ellio: I feel sorry for you.
