Beth Ditto: Lady Gaga is For Kids
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Style,
Gossip singer Beth Ditto thinks Lady Gaga is important to "five year olds." The musician is a fan of the pop superstar but she doesn't think her songs can ever have as much of an impact on her adult fans as they do on children because it's completely new to the younger generation:
"I think her music is for five year olds. Like when I was five, for me it was Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson. Those people were iconic. I'm 31 so that was like 26 years ago. I think that for the five year old watching MTV right now Lady Gaga is going to be an iconic person. In 20 years, the people who are here and talking to journalists will be like, 'Oh Lady Gaga changed my life, Nicki Minaj changed my life.' They'll be saying who influenced them and it will be Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, artists like that. I don't think it's as relevant when a 31-year-old is saying the same things."
Beth believes it is harder for artists, including Gaga, to reach and inspire older music fans because they have been influenced by so many different types of music already.

Wiz Khalifa has been arrested for marijuana possession.
The "Black and Yellow" rapper was busted by cops in North Carolina after the officers pulled over his tour bus following his concert in Winston-Salem on Tuesday night and discovered 11.39 grams of marijuana after searching the vehicle, according to TMZ.com. The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office has revealed Wiz was cited for possession of a controlled substance and then released and he now must appear in court to face charges at a later date.
This is the second time in 10 days Wiz - who is engaged to model Amber Rose - has been found in possession of cannabis. The 24-year-old hip-hop star was cautioned for the offense by police after he was discovered in a hotel room on April 21 smoking a joint following complaints from other guests.
Although Wiz - real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz - tried to get rid of the evidence by throwing the drug-laced cigarette out of his window before letting the police in, the officers recovered the joint and the musician then confessed to having another 3.7g of marijuana in his pocket.
