There has been alot of angry people talking about lady gaga being made the magazines new cover artist and q have also written a very positive article on the gaga chaos...

So has a seemingly, old school and hardcore rock magazine has gone soft?

Is gaga the new coldplay?

Or is it all a big over reaction?

I understand the need for Q to do an article on Gaga, after all it would have been rude and rather ignorant for them not to have, she has cleared up at this years Brits and will probably do the same at the MTV music awards and similar. Plus there is no disputing that Gaga has (somehow) managed to make possibily every gay and teenage girl Gaga mad. And thus make her very successful... 8million albums in 2years is incredible and Gaga has done with her first album what artists 8 albums down still havent (genre considerate).

But she has openly admitted to the media previously that 'just dance' took 'minutes to make', the lyrics are not exactly Dylan or cash and the fame is completly manufactured, over produced and instantly forgetable drival... Gaga will by far out live her songs and it is her that is more appealing than the music - which is another reason why Q would write an article and make a cover artist.

In short: rock will always be around and display more talent than gaga can shake her cock at!

Marina has a very big year ahead of her, she's already had the pressure of launching a debut album, promoing, the Brits critic choice and the festivals coming up and also to see how her album charts... Will it be a hit or miss, after all the hard work put in.

Well she's needs to worry about absolutly nothing. Her debut 'Family Jewells' is simply incredible, so fun and sophisticated. It is very exciting and the hype surrounding this girl is similar to that of Florence and the machine was - although I know marina hates being compared to her predecessor, marina is happy being just half of what Flo is as she proudly admires the sudden surge of female vocallists in the charts & thanks her diamonds for making her a part of it.

The album is very much Marina the musical. With a lead single like 'Hollywood' it's easy to get a vibe for how the vast majority of the album sounds, upbeat and lyrically mature and vague, the other songs on the album are outstanding piano records, with marina singing about trying to break into the music business and the not quite pleasant music exc's she has met on the way. Due to the unique sounding of marinas voice marina faced alot of critisism and rejection, however one of the few to belevie in marina and her diamonds was fellow newcomer and crtics choice Elie Goulding, the two are very good friends and have sang in pubs and lounges in and out of London.

IS SHE MAD? in short it's hard to tell, but I'd probably say yes! With songs called 'i'm not a robot' and 'Hermit the Frog' it's easy to see a slight lack of mental stablity.

Don't hold that against her though, there is a fine talent here. I see big things.
