Just Jack dubs GaGa "a rip off" while Rakes frontman brands her "ugly trash"

[MrGaryy]

Just Jack has criticised Lady GaGa for being a "rip-off" and sounding like a "a weird singing robot".

The star admitted that he struggled to differentiate between Lady GaGa and other similar artists because they showed no originality.

"A lot of modern songs rely on Auto-Tune too much - not as a tool for tuning, but for giving vocals that weird brittle effect," he told DS.

"It makes people like Rihanna, Lady GaGa and Katy Perry all the ******ing same. I like organic elements in music. I like a vocal that sounds like it came out of someone's mouth rather than a weird singing robot."

The Rakes frontman Alex Donohoe has launched an attack on Lady GaGa, claiming that the US popstar looks like a prostitute.

The indie-rock singer, who is currently promoting his band's new album Klang, suggested that Leona Lewis's low-key approach to fame is much more appealing.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Donohoe explained: "I can't stand Lady GaGa. She is basically selling crap to kids. I think she's terrible and really ugly. I hate her."

He added: "Leona Lewis seems dull but nice. She has standards, nice skin and can sing. Whereas Lady GaGa is trash and dresses like a prostitute."

GaGa has also recently attracted criticism from Just Jack, who claimed that the star sounds like "a weird singing robot".

Meanwhile, Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi has advised GaGa to "put some clothes on" and stop courting the press.

Although I can see where both are coming from, labelling her ugly is totally uncalled for and unnecessary, imo.

The Rakes? Who?

Gaga's music may be "robotic" or "processed", but people are buying it. Dare I ask about their record sales? :whistle:

[Locke.]

The Rakes have had a few top 40 hits:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rakes

Never heard of them though.

[MrGaryy]

I've heard of them before. They're just one of the bands that managed reasonable success in the 04/05 resurgence of indie.

[Shaun]

MarkSpears - who cares about record sales, other than the artists themselves? People voted for the Nazis, doesn't mean they were right, does it?

And I totally agree with them :)

Never mind. She'll be forgotten about in 2 or 3 years.

[Fat.Rat]

jealousy pure and simply!

[Scarlett.]

this Just Jack bloke compares her with Rihanna and Katy Perry.....apart from they all sing different sorts of songs.....:shrug:

Rihanna always sings the same way nowadays
Katy Perry sings down to earth sort of songs
GaGa sings 'electric' (only word i could think of :conf: :D) type of songs..how can they sound the same

[lily.]

I'm not a fan of the gaga.

[MrGaryy]

Well the Rihanna/GaGa comparison is pretty obvious. And there are similarities between GaGa and Katy's voices. And Katy Perry's songs are down to earth?!?!

[MrGaryy]

I'm fine I'm just can't fathom how songs like I Kissed A Girl, Waking Up In Vegas, Self Inflicted, If You Can Afford Me, ect. could possiobly be labelled down to earth.

[Scarlett.]

True...but I dont listen to all of her songs, I listened to her album a few times and all the song sounded the same...so i dont know the themes of all the songs

[Harry!]

GaGa and Katy will never be Madge let me tell you that, Look what happend to Cindi Lauper....

I agree with this bit, but the rest is rubbish.

Like some people who become public eye and top out in magazines n stuff alll the time start to annoy me generally.

[KKBL]

at the end of the day,GaGa is having and has had much more success then all of the 3 artists in question who slagged her off combined,so she must be doing something right.

Gaga wants Madge status as the queen of pop but there can only be ONE queen of pop.

I guess this is why Just Jack has decided to be controversial:

Trying to gain some promotion for his new single, which is out in a couple of days.

I'm just saying, they can slag her off about her music but if she's had two number ones in less than two months people are obviously buying her music, so she's doing something right.

[MrGaryy]

Just Jack has always tried to be controversial, his break through single was about slagging off Simon Cowell. Though to be fair, he only let rip on her when asked in an interview, he didn't just randomly say it or put it in his blog.

[Zac]

Lol i've never heard of 'Just Jack' or 'the Rakes'.

[Twilight]

Just Jack who and who the hell are The Rakes?
Lol they are soo jealous because shes had 2 no1s And they have had what none maybe 1:wink:

she looks like a prostitute umm say what:conf2:

[M X]

**** them little hussies.

That's because 'The Rakes' (wtf?) are as successful as Gaga.

And Just Jack, that talentless piece of ****.

[Callum]

Heard of Just Jack, but they are a one hit wonder. They had a hit with 'Starz In their Eyes' or whatever it's called but haven't heard of them since. The Rakes, who? To be honest none of them are revelant so they've got a cheek to comment on GaGa.

[MrGaryy]

Glory days was a relatice hit for and their new single will probably do reasonably well.
