A literary girl with a penchant for dance-pop and the darker side of life tries to make an honest living and voila, suddenly everyone’s comparing her to “Judas” tunesmith Lady Gaga. But Natalia Kills isn’t having any of it. “Gaga is the most popular artist at the moment, but we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next three years,” the Perfectionist singer said of her Cherrytree labelmate Gaga in an interview with Digital Spy. “I’ve been making music since I was 14, before the likes of Christina and GaGa’s music careers even existed.”
Kills added, “If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they’re doing it for all the wrong reasons.”
We profiled the unique UK singer last year in our Popping Up series. “When you think about it, I’ve always been Natalia Kills—everything I have done so far has lead me to where I am,” she told us. “It has existed all along. I have not changed, just evolved and amplified my imagination.”
Check out Kills’ recent videos for “Mirrors” and “Wonderland” and see if there’s any merit in the claims that she’s following in the footsteps of Mother Monster.
I try not to spam, but I did discuss this particular issue (Natalia Kills/Lady Gaga) in detail recently on my blog. http://bit.ly/i7vRml
Um…doing the math, Natalia would’ve been 14 in the year 2000…when Christina Aguilera was charting multiple hits at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
I’m all for establishing artistic credibility, especially in a genre where it’s easily assumed females don’t work for what they have, but her statements won’t hold much weight when she spews out incorrect facts.
I hate her for seeing Christina Aguiler wrong in her recent diss. She didn’t know Bionic existed before Gaga – idiot!
No it didn’t Bionic came after Gaga. Sorry. It was controversy then that Christinky took her look from Gaga. Get your facts straight goofball.
