la Roux... opening her mouth AGAIN!

So seems to me at least now that La Roux has got to number one and the album's possibly doing the same... Ms Jackson has a bit of a opinion about looks etc...

Earlier this week she dubbed Lady GaGa as 'unsexy' and now she seems to be attacking sex in music as a whole...

In an interview with the BBC she dubbed the genre of R'N'B as '"kind of empty, like hollow and not rooted in anything good or healthy".

Same with girl groups that wear revealing clothing...

Now the obvious joke can be done here (Jack can say that line again... lol) however what gets me is her views on R'N'B being empty...

isn't most of electro just someone who sings over a loop... just seems slightly empty to me... least dubstep and the stuff on Early Warp actually got me nodding to the beat in approval...

When summer's over and Glasvegas and their like return we'll see what Ms Jackson shall think then... thoughts from others on her comments are welcome!

Taken from Digital spy:

Rex Features
La Roux's Elly Jackson has slammed R&B, labelling the genre "empty".
The singer - currently at number one with latest single 'Bulletproof' - told the BBC that the style of music is "kind of empty, like hollow and not rooted in anything good or healthy".


"Lyrically it's just like really, really bad - I think a lot of it just doesn't mean anything," she said. "I think a lot of it is, 'Baby I love you, I want to kiss you'. It's just like what are you on about? Shut up."


Jackson also criticised scantily-clad singers, comparing them to porn stars.
"I just think it's like basically naked," she explained. "I just don't think it's good and there's lots of girls in pop that are 17/18 and they're half naked and it's just 'Why?'"
She added: "And you wonder if you weren't half naked, would you be selling any records? You shouldn't be selling records because you're half naked - if you want to do that be a porn star."

Wish I didn't mention Dappy in the shikari thread... HE's now decide to hit back at La Roux (which is all we need... idiots fighting loudmouths...)

Dappy has now claimed that Jackson's remarks were ignorant, advising the singer to educate herself about R&B before commenting again.Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, he explained: "I'm a fan of La Roux but she needs to expand her knowledge of music. There's a much wider range and variety than she knows about and she needs to listen to it."

Who next? Mike Skinner?

To be fair she has some bollox to say that in the press, it's her opinion after all.

I never thought of it that way, who else has done it recently? I guess she has timed it after the number 1
