Lady GaGa: 'The Beatles are like the Jonas Brothers' - Daily Gossip

Michael Jackson, The Maccabees, Amy Winehouse – your daily music gossip stop

Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today’s top gossip:

Lady GaGa has compared The Beatles to the Jonas Brothers. The singer made her assessment after admitting that her song 'The Fame' was inspired by the Fab Four's 1969 'Abbey Road' album. "They were responsible for the birth of the sexual revolution for women," she gushed, before adding that the Jonas Brothers are currently the Scouse legends' equivalent. She said: "Now we have the Jonas Brothers representing the return of the superfan" (Daily Star).

From the papers:

The Rumble Strips' Charlie Waller says the band are planning to wear nurses outfits for their Bestival appearance in September, despite the official theme being a "out of space" (Daily Star).

Kate Moss refused to watch boyfriend Jamie Hince's band The Kills' New York gig (Daily Mirror).

The Maccabees' Orlando Weeks says he can't wait to hang out with Franz Ferdinand on this year's festival circuit, calling them "sweethearts" (Daily Record).

Rihanna was congratulated by model Agyness Deyn after performing for the first time since her bust-up with Chris Brown (Daily Mirror).

Michael Jackson has been told to put more weight on before starting his London O2 Arena residency in July (The Sun).

Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch forced one of her friends to fly back to the UK after accusing them of freeloading by staying with her in St Lucia (The Sun).

Just another reason to hate this massively untalented disposable pop act Lady Gaga, as if the music and lyrics, plus auto tune corrected singing wasn't bad enough, you have retarded statements like this coming out her mouth almost everyday now.

I'm in a very rare position...I'm yet to hear anything by Lady gaga. It helps to only listen to talk radio and ignore music tv channels. Ahhh the bliss..because i just know by looking at her how fucking awful she sounds.

if people will actually read what she said, it's not a bad point. equivalence in the type of fans both bands have/had.

drgonzo2012, I wish I lived in your bubble of innocence, but unfortunately for me I've heard her. And you're right, she is absolutely tragic. Of course, she thinks she's the fucking dog's bollocks. I think she's actually GOT the dog's bollocks.

Much as I would love to pile in on this, that's not exactly what she said, is it? I also draw your attention to the source of the quote. Lady Gaga is just another 15 minutes of fame retread. The Daily Star is a pile of misogynist, racist shit and maybe, just maybe, we could hate that one instead?

Let me say this:To most of youNO ONE will ever compare to the beatles.sure, the jonas' arent THE beatles.and you probably dont think they are comparable.but when you think about it...they are the beatles of TODAY.i am NOT saying they are as goodand have had as much success,but to this generationthey are the biggest thing out there.they have countless numbers of fans,they sells millions of records all over the world.and they are infact talented.if you dont think so, cool.you obviously havent heard them.i dont care if you dislike their music,thats an opinion,but they truely are talented.i think what lady gaga is trying to sayis that there hasnt been a BAND like the jonas brothers since the beatles.as is- one that has had THIS MUCH success.one that has sold this many records.one that has soo many fans.everywhere they go there is chaos.that is what i think she means.she is not comparing musicnor is she comparing their talent,but the fact that to people todaythey are the biggest/best band.they are not just another boy bandlike NSYNC or the backstreet boys,though you might think so,believe me they are not.please, dont get too worked up about this.

Such a shame artists nowadays have to get attention through what they say rather than the music they play, unlike The Beatles. Shouldn't really be suprised by what comes out of this idiots mouth, its usually a pile of shit, shes like Jodie Marsh with a record contract.

My you people are such idiots, she clearly said that they "brought back the super-fan" as in they have the same effect the Beatles did in their time.And to be 100% you losers are on this site bashing her and she's is the hottest chart toping pop artist on the scene right now.

If you twats would have read more than the headline you would've noticed that she is talking about fans not talent.
