Annie Lennox Responds to Jo Calderone Controversy


In a recent chat with Stylist.co.uk, Annie Lennox responds to the incessant allegations that Lady Gaga copied her by performing as Jo Calderone during the 2011 MTV Video music Awards last month. Ckech out what she had to say below:

"Gaga makes incredible art. She's exceptional. The parallel was obvious, but whether she was copying me or somebody else doesn't make any difference. Women have been wearing men's clothes for centuries. It's a powerful thing when a woman wears something less feminine. It's saying; you must look at me slightly differently, I'm not just going  to be a sexual object for you. The only thing with Gaga is, she doesn't move me. I see a lot of commerce in people's lives; a lot of drive and ambition, but what I often feel is lacking is emotion"

It's not a secre that Annie is a fan of Gaga. She's praised her before on her blog, claiming that she was "totally entrenced" by the singer, and that she is "the real deal."
