Tori Amos Thinks Lady Gaga Is A Fad....Much Like, Well...Tori Amos

[Brian Damage]

Tori Amos is at a place in her life where she can talk. She's walked the walk for so long now that if she wants to go public with a negative comment about another singer, she can. And she has some rather harsh words for Lady Gaga.

"She's what I call a meteor - singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

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.

Neil Young doesn't have to get his bum out on stage!

The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time?

She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing's perfect."

And believe it or not, Tori has a few good things to say about Britney Spears.

"For me, the best thing that happened is that I didn't have success like my father wanted me to when I was 14-years-old and I was playing clubs," she said.

"Thank God it didn't happen for me at that time. I probably wouldn't be talking to you if it had. I think it's really tough on teenagers when they have that kind of success.

"But you have to acknowledge Britney's discipline right now - being a mum and being out on the road. When you do that year-in, year-out since you were a teenager, it can become overwhelming."

Is Tori right about Lady Gaga?
