[InOne]

Noel Gallagher has laid into Emeli Sande, saying her music is "for grannies".

In an interview with Shortlist, he singled out the multiple Brit-winner, adding that he doesn't get her music, and had a few words for Paloma Faith too. He said: "You look at the 'best' now. Paloma Faith? Do me a favour. Who’s ****ing decided she’s a star? Emeli Sande? That is ****ing music for grannies. I don’t get it."

Noel also spoke out about being asked to write songs for younger artists. He said: "Here's another thing. I must have been asked to write songs for people about 20 times. 'Hey man – we should write some songs together'. ****ing write your own songs. I spent 46 years busting my arse to get here, slaving over a line in a song for a month. So no, I won’t write a song with you, you little prick."

Next week sees the start of the shows curated by Gallagher for the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall. He's lined up Kasabian, Primal Scream, Ryan Adams, Paul Weller and Rizzle Kicks for the gigs, and will take to the stage himself with Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Gruff Rhys.

As reported yesterday, Gallagher said he'd approached "middle class" acts like Ed Sheeran and Mumford and Sons, who had declined. "I got let down a lot. Everybody says yes to your face. And then the agent will call and say, ‘'Ah, they’re going to be in Australia at the time.' Really? Well they never said that to me.

Good old Noel

Even better if they got Liam too.....

The stuff of dreams...

[Me. I Am Salman]

What a twat.

Having said that I do agree with him on Paloma and Emeli. Can't agree with his love for the others though

[Me. I Am Salman]

Bit strange how he seems to be hating female acts but lining up and approaching male acts

[Roy Mars III]

a great guy (even if Oasis is overrated as hell)

[Iceman]

What a legend....

[joeysteele]

Reading through this I cannot help but picture both Noel and Liam in CBB. that would be a real fiery and intense series to watch for sure,never likely to be considered though,never mind happen.

I am a great Oasis fan and really admire Noels songwriting,I also think Noel has a great voice too, Liam however has the massive stage presence.
As to his comments, well I can like all sorts of music, whether it be classed as Grannie music or music for kids and all types of music inbetween too so for me there is room for all artistes and types of music.

Interesting read though.

[Black Dagger]

Paloma is flawless, how rude and then goes on to state his love for Ed Sheeran who wouldn't know the meaning of upbeat if it twatted him on the nose

But hey, at least he loves Mumford & Sons, nice shoutout Noel <3.

[Brother Leon]

Doubt she gives a **** with the numbers she's selling recently tbh.

[Kizzy]

What a creep, are people not allowed to have eclectic tastes in music?
Yeah your great, stop putting others down you egomaniac.

[Tom4784]

Emeli Sande is a bore, Paloma's likable, Ed's the devil and Mumford & Sons lost my interest when they re-released their first album and called it their second.

Niamh loves Emeli Sande.









Oh.

[Jordan.]

The hate bandwagon she seems to have is far more boring than her music.

[Drew.]

i love Noel

And Noel's just a knob

[Shaun]

it's quite uncalled for but the music press have built the gallaghers up to be the controversial, opinionated loudmouths in the UK and they probably ham it up to get in the papers, to be honest.

seems a bit harsh to have a go at paloma...

[Jake.]

I do love him, but a bit ironic considering that his music appeals more to the older generation than younger.

[Shaun]

I wouldn't say that... there are just as many teenage Britpop fans as there ever were... I can't say I've ever seen a 14 year old who loves Emeli Sande.
