Tori vs. GaGa: Meow!
We hope this is just a case of the British media making up quotes!
According to The Sun, Tori Amos believes that Lady Gaga's popularity is fleeting, as she doesn't see the pop star playing on the same bill as veteran rocker Neil Young in twenty years.
Oh, really???!!!
You know how many people said things like that about Madonna when she first started? Look at HER now!
"[GaGa] She's what I call a meteor - singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that," Amos reportedly told the paper. "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."
Tori thinks that the economic crisis is the reason for GaGa's rising popularity!
"The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time?" she continued. "She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing's perfect."
Uhmmm, okay.
Now that's just silly speak!
P.S. GaGa performed at Glastobury this year. Tori Amos, she did not!

I think she's right.
They both fucking suck.
i agree with tori..gaga is a piece of short term shit..funny, but very short term…
Gaga is nothing compared to Tori Amos. I'm amused Tori even thought to mention her.
first??
Well, she's kind of right.
Madonna should've quit a long time ago.
Perez, don't turn on Tori just because she supposedly made a comment about your beloved Gaga. I guess your "love" of Tori Amos is not so deep after all.
Gaga is awesome and I'm sure she will adapt to everything. She'll be big in 50 years Amos. Bite your tongue.
i'm gonna go with tori on this one. she got me through high school.
sorry if Tori Amos keeps it real Perez! i thought you were a toriphile? GaGa is NOT better artist just because she performed at Glastobury and Tori didn't. Hopefully Tori won't read this post…
but you're right, GaGa IS like Madonna. Her music is mediocre, and her image is what sells the records.
youre so far up lady gaga's ass it's disgusting… she's exactly what this Tori girl said.
Suck it Perez.. Tori is a genius and you've looked up to her before now bow down and do it again.. Lady Ca Ca can suck it in a few years
yeah, Perez. You're definitely more of a credible opinion on music than Tori fucking Amos.
Shut up. Really.
Tori's totally right - Gaga is just a character, a flash in the pan. The music is fun and danceable, she makes a spectacle of herself, and gets to sell some records. It'll be over in 5 years.
In 20 years all three of them will be headlining the 20th anniversary of the Perezcious Presents Tour playing all the biggest arenas and stadiums in the WORLD. OHH Sliiiiimy will be there too, and Ladyhawkealoogie and FrankensteinMusik. It will be MUCH bigger than the insignificant flea market flash-in-thepan Glastonbury. OHHH I can hardly wait!
Finally, someone says the fucking truth.
I agree with Ms. Amos she knows what she is talking about. LADY CACA is interesting to watch seeing her hideous outfits and shitty face cheers me up . CACA'S music has no depth no serious message besides dancing your ass off Sorry Mari but she can't fuck with Tori.
ew for tori
-
double ew for gaga
Perez, everyone knows Gaga is only the flavor of the month. She's chewing gum. Give it up.
Wtf…Like Tori Amos gives a fuck about Lady Gaga..Im sick of hearing people talking about that famewhore..Her songs are so unmeaningfull..poor girl. At least, sluts and 15 years old are always gonna exist so shes always have an audience..
Sounds spot on to me
Tori is right.
There is nothing special about Caca…she dresses like any loon at the street corner and her songs are like the latest Pringles flavor…nice for a while but than you'll get back to what you really like.
While she might have a point I'm still dissapointed in Tori saying this.
Woah. That sounds pretty bitchy. TORI AMOS should know by now to keep things like that to herself.
What a HATER!! I give GAGA my blessing…
i have to say i agree
lady gaga makes catchy pop songs.. nothing more
neil young makes meaningful inspiring timeless music
lady gaga wears costumes and seems to have a new prop every week
neil young is a guy with a guitar
do you really think ppl are gonna care about lady gaga 20 years from now? hell to the no, her star is already fading..
Lady GaGa is so overexposed. Gaga, Kayne and Rihanna need to go to a foreign country void of media attention
FUCK CaCa! shes sucks and i know her ass knows it!
gaga is all about recycling shiny clothes that nobody else would wear.
It's true that Lady GaGa is really a show rather than just a singer singing songs. Only time will tell whether GaGa is just a "flash in the pan" or is truly a entertainer/singer that will be remembered for her music 20 years into the future. However, I would not compare her to Madonna, certainly not at this stage in her career, no matter how long it lasts! Come on now!
stop kissing her ass perez
she has no talent
Wow, what happened to your love for Tori?!?! Did all the shinny glitter from GaGa's crazy-ass wardrobe hypnotize you into believing Ca-Ca is all that matters now?!?
Perez: You frequently make comments that veer into the extremely shallow territory. As you were all of 4 or 5, I doubt you can really say much about "what was said about Madonna" at the start of her career that is not complete conjecture. GaGa is a pop blip on the screen and there are tons of them out there. They come and they go. While your popularity is clear (an obvious), you often come off as a very shallow and unintelligent person. You often don't have a clue as to what you are talking about and are rude to a shocking and uncivilized degree. As a gay man, I find you personally very embarrassing and someone who does not understand the realities of the time it truly takes for things to change. As long as people like you are the 'spokesperson' for anything … Gay people will not reach the heights they dream of. You really need to get an education and stop perpetuating the bitchy bitter queen persona that you have clearly cultivated. You may find it funny now in the midst of your fame but trust me—it aint gonna look very pretty when you hit 40. You seem very sad and thin of spirit and mind.
Lady Gaga is nothing more than the cheesy europop music that has been around for years. Make a cheesy pop song and layer a dance beat over it. If you want to listen to real dance music there are so many better genres.
Gaga is empty party music and her artsy outfits are fucking ugly and not creative in the least, she just throws on weird shit and calls it art. No, it's just fucking crap it's not beautiful or interesting to look at. Oooh lavender hair and mirrors…great…
Tori Amos is completely right.
So you're going to turn your back on Tori now because she says slightly less than flattering things about Lady Gaga? Well, she has said some things about Madonna as well that weren't all that kind, but that's just her opinion. It's not like she just comes out of the blue and says what she says. I'm sure she was asked what she thought about artists such as Gaga, and she answered the question.
People are ALREADY getting tired of Lady GaGa. Tori Amos's completely right.
I agree with Tori… Gaga's music can only be catchy for so long.. it all sounds the same to me and unless she changes that sound she's going to fade out quickly
I don't really lady gaga, but as long as people talk about her, she'll be around.. I just did it myself.. damn.
LOL @ perez saying she was a goddess only last week. such a hypocrite.
Tori shouldn't have said that because she just sounds jealous. But I prefer Gaga over her.
Tori is right. even though i like GaGa's music and not so much Tori's i can admit the truth when it's spoken
youre so late posting these things damn…i agree with everyone else, tori is right lady gaga won't be around in 10 yrs she already looks like a haggard old woman…though i'd rather listen to a lady gaga cd than a tori amos one
Exactly what I thought.
The only reason people go fucking nuts over Gaga (like you Perez), is because the world is depressed (and Perez needs something to burn calories by dancing to), and they need someone to entertain themselves. And that's Gaga. People enjoy her annoying, upbeat music as much as they like seeing what she's wearing 'this time'. She's the just-for-now IT girl.
Once the world gets happier, Gaga's going to be gone.
GaGa is all gimmick and no substance. Tori has been popular for years. I wonder how much money you get paid for pushing GaGa on us all?
she's right - gaga is all costumes and dancey beats. there's no material in her music - people are not gonna listen to songs about just dancing and love sticks (Wtf?) for the next two years…its nothign that can sustain her….we're still talking about tori amos arent we…we wont even remember gaga in a few years…good riddance.
Oh…so you're not kissing Tori Amos's ass anymore? I personally hope she launches a verbal 'attack' on Katy Perry next and really gets your thong in a twist.
she's right ,CaCa is going away very soon. Gaga is your friend so what can you said
Tori Amos…a genius!? Sheah right!
except lady gaga is no madonna! lady gaga is just a try hard who steals, borrows, and rips off different elements from other talented females like roisin murphy, peaches, kylie, gwen, and madonna.
ok lady gaga is amazing and who knows if shell still be aruond but i doubt that tori amos lady will be around still in 5 years! i've never even heard of that tori girl!!!
well she should be an expert at this…
just look at her career
well anyway it really all depends…
if Gaga has the power to keep being original and making songs that touch people in that way..
I guess your love of Tori really runs deep, eh Perez? Lady GaGa is a joke. Five years from now, no one will know who she is, but people will still be talking about Tori.
Haha…okay Perez, you keep thinking Lady Gaga is the next Madonna….in a years time when Lady Gaga is no more, I will be sure to bring it up to you and tell remind you of this post.
Oh Please, Tori is pissed because she has never been as popular as she thinks she should be. She is a crazy speed freak and needs to take it down a notch.
I love Tori! Speak the truth, sista! Name one song of Gaga's that is a classic? You can't. Her music doesn't have longevity. There is nothing timeless about Gaga. Madonna had songs with lyrics that were not dated. Gaga's lyrics, sound, influence…it's all dated and soon will pass.
And here I thought Tori Amos was a goddess to you. But the second she talks shit about your oh-so-precious Gaga, you hate her. I'm not a Tori fan, but this time, girlfriend speaks the truth and I love her for it. Gaga will never be a pop legend like Madonna. Madonna's longevity is due to her constant reinventing herself and her persona. Gaga, on the other hand, relies on scandalous statements about her sexuality and crazy outfits. She thinks she's so edgy and badass, but everything Gaga is doing, Madonna did it before her. She's not original or special. Get over it, Perez.
I DO NOT see Tori bashing another artist and you should know better as well Perez!!! I am CERTAIN Tori remembers her Y KANT TORI READ days and can appreciate Ms Gagas AMAZING talent and place in this world… I am QUITE sure that this is untrue or taken out of context!!!
Now you hate on tori because shes telling the truth about lady CaCa!!! god!! you are such a hypocrite a weeks ago you were saying that tori was princess and now you hate her… god!! you are such an asshole….
She's completely fucking right on. And in that span of time no one will really remember you with reverance either, Perez. You're a media persona…and pretty irrelevant. Love you, but I think you are just here to amuse us for a short time. Tori and Neil Young and the like are timeless and you and Gaga are instantly replaceable by other fame-seeking meteors. You know it. Everyone knows it.
Tori's right. Gaga's music can't be described as "substantial" to any degree.
NEITHER CAN MIKA!
Re: Flapjack23 –
You either must be really young, like 12, or a real idiot to prefer gaga over tori. Seriously.
SHE'S RIGHT
you're so retarded fatfuck.
Tori is riiiight and you can't take it!
Re: tonyawills –
You're also a fucking idiot
Re: kyra040896 –
WOW…you've never heard of Tori Amos, huh? You ARE RETARDED. She's a music legend thats been around for almost 20 yrs. You are so, so dumb.
this is the most truthful thing i've ever seen on this blog.
WHO IS THIS TORI CHICK? SHE CAN'T BE THAT GREAT, CUZ I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HER HERE IN CANADA.. EVERYONE HAS HEARD OF GAGA THOUGH.. HMM..
…actually, Tory seems right to me. When "I" released my second single, it was amidst the chaos of Watergate, Viet Nam and Kent State. People need an escape and that is what true entertainment can accomplish.
Re: kyra040896 –
You never heard of Tori Amos? You are even more of a fucking retard than Perez
Re: candycaynegirl – …again, right on the mark.
I dont understand the obsession with L.G.G. I really dont. the whole style factor was completely stolen from Alexander Mcqueen…..only her run at it is more like plastic and confetti thrown on everything she wears. Next….Her voice..ugh!!!!!!!…If theres anyone who can say something about L.G.G it's Tori Amos. And to compare L.G.G to Madonna? Not sure if Madonna would be cool with that. And if she was , I cant say Id respect her as much. All in all..Its amazing what electronic music can do to someone who just has a lot stage presence, and thats it!
I've been wanting to say this for a while. Tori Amos is one of the most talentless chicks in the music industry. The only reason people talk about her is cuz she's a friend of Trent Reznor. She's an American ripoff of Kate Bush. She must be in the Guiness Book by now for the most cover songs ever done by one act. This is cuz she can't read or write her own music. That's why she got kicked out of music school. Everything about her is borrowed, unoriginal or fake, including her red hair and her name. That's not an opinion. It's a fact. Even that poser Lady Gaga is more original than Tori. At least Gaga writes her own songs.
I love that just because you've got a ton of readers on your GOSSIP site you're a music expert. She's right about Gaga filling a void right now. People want mindless entertainment and she's all over it. I respect that, but it is what it is. Show Amos some respect.
I find it so astonishing that you, Perez, could even talk like that about Tori just because of an allegation. Even if it was true! She has the right to say those things (which just so happen to be true). I remember there was a post that you say "You know we'll always have your back". How nice you've changed your mind. I'm just waiting for you and Gaga to have a fall out so you can really bring the dirt.
Tori is right and you would have to be mentally ill to think that ga ga man will be around even next year.
Tori Amos is a name we have NEVER seen at #1. And who on earth is Neil Young? Though both of these hitless wonders have been in the business for ages, GaGa has accomplished in a very short time what they could never accomplish in years: hit #1. Bow down to the true Queen of Pop!
Tori might be jealous, however you can't deny the truth in what she's saying. No way is Lady Gaga still going to be around in 20 years time, let alone 2 years
What has Gaga done to help people? What depth do her lyrics have? Will her fans ever be as loyal as Tori's, doubtful.
I find it funny you all are surprised that Perez's ghost writer would take Gaga's side. Don't you know she does Perez up the butt, probably every time they get together.
I agree with Tori. So far Gaga has only put out a pop album and worn funny clothes. Maybe her next album will show more depth and that might change things. But for now, I think Gaga is a pop performer who will lose her appeal.
I love Gaga…but please don't compare her to Madonna yet.
My first comment must have gotten deleted. Funny. Anyways TORI AMOS > LADY GAGA. Tori has been around for YEARS. Gaga has been around…. what? a year maybe? She will fade away.
Who the F is Tori Amos? Hates her.
Loves Lady G
Re: karencarpenter – Thank you my dear. Nice to be complimented by a true legend
Tori Amos is just speaking the truth. She's been a well respected creative musical artist for years, I think she knows music a bit better than you Perez. I wish you could remove your nose from Lady Gaga's ass for a second and realize she's not the AMAZING artist you claim she is. She has catchy songs, and dresses unfortunately weird as to catch public attention. That's the extent of her talent. I wouldn't be surprised if Tori is dead on with her prediction. Though, kudos to Gaga if she can stay relevant for more than a few years. That will be quite the accomplishment.
"The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time?" she continued. "She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing's perfect.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *breath* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
She's right. GaGag is a flash in the pan. She is the female version of the Bay City Rollers (look them up if you don't know).
Okay, I'm probably going to sound stupid, but who the fuck is Tori Amos!? The only place I've ever heard of her is here on Perez Hilton.
Mr. Lameass….You're musical ignoance is showing through your skirt…Put a slip on and please don't fuck with Mrs. Amos…
Uhg, that paper is a load of shite anyway. Thats the paper with the page 3 girls and gossip collumns. I wouldnt be surprised if they made it up.
Seriously, The Sun is like the lowest paper you could read from over here in the uk.
Will Tori Amos be playing Glastonbury in twenty years time? Each artist should concern themselves with what they alone are deciding to put out there. Why is she shoving Gaga into a box? What's at play here?
Oh BLAH BLAH BLAH! Madonna is not influential nor is she really relevant to anyone but her hard core fans. Madonna has not been really relevant since 2000. Lady Gaga's fame is fleeting and no one will remember her in 5 years. Madonna and Lady Gaga have little talent and only their image sells songs.
didn't gaga get booed at Glastonbury?
"P.S. GaGa performed at Glastobury this year. Tori Amos, she did not!"
Tori performed in 2005 according to Wikipedia. She does not need to perform every year.
so first you LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE tori.. and you also love gaga, but tori says some shit about gaga, you know personal opinion (which in fact makes A LOT of sense) and u all of a sudden are hating on tori. ridiculous perez.
lady gaga can suck my dick. tori amos is so bitchin. she was the first person i saw in concert when i was 7. she's a musician unlike lady gaga. ugh.
No, she makes perfect sense actually. She has more knowledge in this area than you do.
What a bitch! I grew up w/ Tori as an idol, i finally saw a show of hers in NYcity a few yrs back… and she sucked let alone she was quite the bitch… no one was able to remove themselves from their seat (not even to use the bathroom) it ruined all love admiration and respect that i ever had 4 her!
If Gaga wasn't making generic pop music she would be relevant in 20 years because she's creative, talented, and highly intelligent. I always thought she should be doing something else with her abilities.
