Lady Gaga: “Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it?”



Quote of the Day comes from Lady Gaga, who shares some thoughts on body image:

    On Adele, weight and “Body Revolution”: I’ve realized I don’t have to do very much anymore but make music, because my fans do it all for me. They carry the message so far. Ever since they saw how much Born This Way could affect people, they wanted to do more and have that sort of space of kindness and compassion. I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet – my mum called me and was like, “Did you gain weight?” – everybody was telling me about it, and I didn’t really care. But when I heard it was on the news, where they talk about wars, the economy crashing and the election – I just thought, ‘This is f*cking ridiculous.’ I mean, what kind of example is that to a young girl sitting at home? I thought, well I don’t really care if they think I’m fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds. Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She’s so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of women. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people.”

… says Lady Gaga in Stylist UK.

nope gaga has always been a dumbass

adele isn't about image. ppl don't pay money to SEE adele they want to hear her.

gaga's image has become 70% of her career. even with her mouth closed she makes money.
sadisticsidhe Re: to entertain her question2nd-Nov-2012 05:18 pm (UTC)
This is true. Gaga is all about the lights, explosions, and the shock. Adele's concerts are much more sedate. She'll just stand or sit there and sing.

I just want to say that I love your icon. Your comments are always reporting facts, so it goes well with your statements.

Why bring Adele into this??
saikaro_x 2nd-Nov-2012 04:49 pm (UTC)
because adele is fatter than her
avilewoman 2nd-Nov-2012 04:54 pm (UTC)
My guess is either a) run-of-the-mill word vomit that we are all guilty of on occasion or b) for the attention/controversy. With the Adele part taken out, this quote would've been completely harmless. But since she did say something, it's now going to be dissected and analyzed to death.

ch33rylips 2nd-Nov-2012 05:13 pm (UTC)
Because there's only 3 popstars who are being shaded for their weight and Adele's the biggest of the 3 never mind the fact that she was y'know pregnant.
wristtattoos 2nd-Nov-2012 06:05 pm (UTC)
because adele is fatter than gaga and she is ~confident~
hpxstac 2nd-Nov-2012 08:17 pm (UTC)
I think she was trying to make the point that no one talks about Adele's weight because her confidence and talent outshine all that. I think she was trying to say that she wanted to be more like her in that way. However, Adele gets a lot of shit because of her weight so idek.
ponpiri 2nd-Nov-2012 04:48 pm (UTC)
She's a bit dense sometimes.

oh Gaga.
zootycoonlady 2nd-Nov-2012 04:49 pm (UTC)
r u kidding me, people talk shit about adele's weight ALL. THE. TIME.
phillymademe 2nd-Nov-2012 04:50 pm (UTC)
you just said something about it Gags. and people do talk about Adele's weight.

actually Gaga try asking some of your crazy ass monsters what they have to say about Adele's weight.

i'm kind of confused about why she had to include that. she should have just stayed along the lines of what she says next.

oh gaga
kknee13 2nd-Nov-2012 04:50 pm (UTC)
people make mean jokes about it all the time though, like how her baby must have been 50 pounds when he was born etc. Idk from the way people talk about Adele's weight you'd think she's some 500 pound woman who can barely get off the couch anymore
sparkysparky 2nd-Nov-2012 05:10 pm (UTC)
ugh ikr?? Adele is BEAUTIFUL and SEXY and people need to stfu

adele is legit STUNNING. and she always dresses to flatter and show off her figure.
goldengal1193 2nd-Nov-2012 04:50 pm (UTC)
I don't think she was trying to insult Adele.

no she just did it accidentally
deearem 2nd-Nov-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
She wasn't

Edited at 2012-11-02 05:10 pm (UTC)
ponpiri 2nd-Nov-2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
No, but she did say the first thing that came to mind and that was an insult.
mynamehere07 2nd-Nov-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)
I don't think that was her intent either. But it did come out pretty shitty, like "Adele is overweight, why don't they pick on her."
distantechoes4 2nd-Nov-2012 05:02 pm (UTC)
I think it was more like 'Adele is overweight, but people focus on her art. When will I be confident enough to be like her?'

But it came out awkward. She was praising her.
arrowtoes 2nd-Nov-2012 05:03 pm (UTC)
ia, being offensive with good intentions is just a natural talent of hers
krzg 2nd-Nov-2012 05:15 pm (UTC)
Regardless if the intent wasn't malicious, she not only brought up someone who is CONSTANTLY criticized about her weight and who is heavily targeted by little monsters. The comments would always come off in a sour way.
toilandblood 2nd-Nov-2012 05:48 pm (UTC)
i dont think that was her intention either but the way she said it was really insulting.
jjro 2nd-Nov-2012 06:09 pm (UTC)
I agree, but I think what she said is very poorly worded.
wristtattoos 2nd-Nov-2012 06:23 pm (UTC)
gaga isn't known for her speaking ability, nor her tact
hpxstac 2nd-Nov-2012 08:18 pm (UTC)
Me neither. However, her phrasing is terrible.
fiercenessness 2nd-Nov-2012 04:51 pm (UTC)
Are you fucking kidding me? EVERYONE CALLS ADELE FAT. She's such an idiot.
chihaya19 2nd-Nov-2012 08:14 pm (UTC)
lol she acts like she's a student of fame and the music industry, like she knows how it all works and then says shit like this. if you really understood the industry gaga would know these shallow discussions are always gonna come up
saikaro_x 2nd-Nov-2012 04:52 pm (UTC)
i really can't recall reading an article/interview with adele where her weight hasn't been brought up at least once.
manubibi 2nd-Nov-2012 04:52 pm (UTC)
I like Gaga and I absolutely loathe Adele's music... but GIRL, YOU DID NOT. Why is she saying stuff to the media lately? first that fur thing and now this shit... just shut up please. Or at least just don't make comments about other people's bodies and stop wearing fur. Please.
Still like her music better than Adele's though.
Even though Adele's got a better voice but she gets me so boooored with her songs
saikaro_x 2nd-Nov-2012 04:59 pm (UTC)
what did she say about fur?
kamikashi 2nd-Nov-2012 05:10 pm (UTC)

And earlier on I believe she had been on Ellen saying she didn't like fur? Or something along those lines. (I believe she had said she didn't like fur somewhere so thus even some of her fans called her a hypocrite)

itsalanisbitch 2nd-Nov-2012 04:57 pm (UTC)

idk every time someone talks about adele they talk about her music

cityxpretty 2nd-Nov-2012 05:24 pm (UTC)
Yeah, no one I know does either. No one I know talks about any popstar's body tbh.

Except I think my friend said she was surprised by Kesha's shape. Oop.
kurtvonnegut 2nd-Nov-2012 05:05 pm (UTC)
lol i always find it funny when ontd'rs go around quoting sales and billboard numbers like people irl pay attention to that
