veteran singer tori amos has enjoyed an almost 20-year career – a feat not often found in the musical world. amos took time out of her schedule to share her opinion on why pop sensation lady gaga might not be so lucky. she shared with british tabloid the sun that gaga’s popularity is only fleeting.

“she’s what i call a meteor – singers who entertain people for a while. hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. but then there are people like neil young who show up at glastonbury 40 years into their career. and that’s a very different kind of artist.”

she goes on to explain that perhaps the economic crisis is the reason for lady gaga’s success. ”she wants to entertain people. right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. so her timing’s perfect.” well, that may be true, but gaga is certainly making a run for it. she’s supremely confident in her rise to fame. only time will tell if she lasts!
