Cyndi Lauper talks about Lady Gaga on a interview ( For Ok Magazine). Cindy Lauper collaborated on Viva Glam on the last year. Here the question of the interview:
You’re one of the biggest pop stars of your time and now you’ve become an icon. What do you think of the biggest pop star of today, Lady Gaga?
I think that she’s doing very well. I’m very happy for her. I think she’s done a lot of great stuff and I wish her a lot of luck. I think the new artists; the work hard. It’s the same like everybody. I’m glad to see that people care and are passionate about their work and she combines art and music. I always like that.
A lot of people will say that certain things she represents whether it’s style or art are derivative of what you started. What do you think of that?
Well, everything is derivative in the end, isn’t it? Nothing is really new. I think that she takes from Bowie, from me, from Grace Jones, from everybody. But hers is more like a sculpture. You know I think my favorite thing she did was when we did the amFAR benefit. It almost looked like a George Segal sculpture. I just loved that.
Do you mean in terms of fashion?
You see, she painted herself like a sculpture and then she performed so it was like a living sculpture. To me, living art like that is very interesting and inspiring. I kind of did that in my “I Drove All Night” video. That kind of thing is always exciting to me.
