GaGa to Cover Depeche Mode?
 

Lady GaGa has revealed that she plans to cover the 1984 Depeche Mode song 'People Are People'.

The singer told QMS Radio that she is a big fan of the band and feels that her fans would enjoy her interpretation of the popular track.

"I could really give it the melody it never had," she explained.

The 23-year-old was also inspired by fans who have created mash-ups of the two artists' songs.

"I spend literally hours on YouTube each day checking what people post about me, reading the comments and so on. And I was so surprised that many Depeche Mode fans appeared to be Lady GaGa fans. I didn't know the band existed until I saw a mash-up of 'Paparazzi' with 'Just Can't Get Enough'."

She added: "I advise everyone to check out Depeche Mode, they are so underrated."


*Waits for Stu's responce :S*

Although Im not normally to keen on Covers, she did a cover of Viva La Vida and absolutely smashed it, so I hope this one will be as good

*waits for Stu's reaction*

*sits with Dean and plays with his hair*

*waits for Stu's reaction* [2]

lol...

*waits for Stu's reaction* [3] :laugh:

lol

Can I offer anyone a cup of tea and a biscuit in the meantime?

So no one else has any opinions on this? lmao

O.o

Thank you Zoe. I'll have a bourbon cream.

*waits for Stu's reaction* [4]

Wait. What? She had not heard of Depeche Mode till a mash up? And she says they're "underrated".

Has she been living under a ****ing rock?

In fairness I hadn't heard of them until I saw them in Stu's sig

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Big fan my arse, obviously she's picked up on the fact that apparently a few DM fans like her too, and is going to try and appeal to more of them.

You haven't been in the music industry for 5 years...

Wake up to f£ck Stu.

In fairness? Wtf does that even mean? She claims that David Bowie is a huge influence and she didn't even know who Depeche Mode were? I thought this woman is supposed to know about music...

:shrug:
Not everyone has heard of them

Yes, but this is Lady Gaga and Depeche Mode are pretty ****ing famous. I thought she would have known about them.

It may not even be true, or they may have misquoted her.

I hope she does the cover though.

Not everyone has heard of them? But I'm sure everyone's heard of the Saturdays' cover of Just Can't Get Enough...

uuuuuuuuuuuuugh people make me vomit.

I hadnt heard of them until Stu either D:

same lol.

me too.

Course you haven't, you ignorant lot.

But a lot of people HAVE. Depeche Mode aren't some sh!tty underground band that have just gained some recognition and acknowledgement. They've been on the scene for yeeaaaaarrrrrsssssssssss and are a highly successful and influential band.

How can people not know them :l
I don't listen to them, but i've known about them for like ever:P

Ye may not have known them by name but I'm sure ye would have heard alot of their songs

Because they're happy to be spoon-fed by the Radio 1 playlist.

I don't listen to Radio :P

Really?

I don't know, I mean I hear them every now and then being played on the radio still

No but it pretty much cements what will and won't be a chart success. Take a look at last year's song "Shark in the Water" by VV Brown - by some incomprehensible act of God it was not playlisted, and as such only made #39. Now Jords has only just found out about it (I assume because she's trying to break America at the moment).

The irritating thing is then the pop-fans who have the cheek to go around calling REAL artists "flops". EVERYTHING WITH CREDIBILITY 'FLOPS' NOWADAYS BECAUSE THEY DON'T OFFER THEIR VAGINA ON A PLATE LIKE KE$HA OR JLS.

Ohhhhhhh GaGa :bored:

She does good covers Joe :p

Well you aren't going to say she doesn't, no matter how bad she actually is...

It kinda annoys me when an artist can do no wrong in some peoples eyes lol

No gimmicks just her and a piano

She messed it up!!! lol

I thought the whole point of doing a cover, is to make it your own, whilst also retaining the original style and sound. She completely slaughtered that song, and it was sh!t in the first place.
