Remember that Lady Gaga (Jo Calderone)
presented Spears with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award live on
stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, last month. At
the time hose to continue her over the
top schtick when the moment was supposed to be about Britney. Gaga, as
Calderone, ended up winning me over by telling the crowd to "stand the
fuck up" for Britney, adding that Spears had been a huge inspiration for
her when she was struggling in New York playing small clubs. If that
didn't settle the rumors of a feud between the two pop superstars, maybe
this will. Spears was interviewed by AMTV yesterday, and when they
asked about the Video Music Awards appearance and her opinion of Gaga in
general.
"She’s hilarious. She was so into character, and really strong-willed.
The way she portrayed herself, she exuded such confidence and uniqueness
in her character — it was really crazy and fun. She comes from the
theater, so she gets the background of not just coming out with a good
song, which a lot of people do, but she understands the craft of being
an entertainer. I think that’s why she appeals to so many people because
they love to see what she’s going to do next and it’s so interesting,
even for me, to watch her. She’s a character, she’s really cool.”
The 29-year-old Grammy winner is currently in England doing a round of
promotional appearances for her latest hit album, Femme Fatale,
and tour of the same name. Spears has also been spotted on the streets
of London filming the music video for her new single, a mid-tempo,
sultry song called "Criminal". The tune is quite a departure from
Spears' other recent tracks, and my personal favorite off of Femme
Fatale. While most of the album is upbeat and bubbly dance fun,
"Criminal" reveals a different, darker side of the singer. Spears says she has had the
concept of the video planned for awhile, but would divulge no details:
"You'll have to see," was all she said. What a tease!
