Lady GaGa Responds To NME Jab
Saturday 25th February 2012 | Osh
British music mag NME set out to determine the ’10 most pretentious albums ever’ earlier in the week. The list includes Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music and Kiss’ Music from ‘The Elder.’ However it was the eccentric lady Gaga who beat everyone to the top spot with ‘Born This Way.’
Priya Elan, NME’s writer said of the reasons for the choice ‘Gaga seemed to believe in her own hype, convinced she had a message to share. Cue an album of unwieldy ‘anthems’ that couldn’t mask the fact that the fun had left the building.’
Lots of visitors to the site and fans of the superstar had something to say about this naturally, and Lady Gaga refrained from comment.
On Thursday however she took to her twitter account, to hit back at a publication that has been no stranger to claims of pretentiousness in the past.
‘Oh the irony of winning ‘Most Pretentious Ever’ from none other than NME. *eye roll* I might laugh forever and then return to narcissism.'
It’s great to see Gaga has retained humour in the situation, and she has nothing to worry about with the support from all her ‘monsters.’
