MIA: 'Lady GaGa is a good mimic'

MIA has dismissed claims that she is a similar musician to Lady GaGa.

The 'Paper Planes' star told NME that GaGa is not as revolutionary as people think.

"People say we're similar, that we both mix all these things in the pot and spit them out differently, but she spits it out exactly the same," she said.

"None of her music's reflective of how weird she wants to be. She models herself on Grace Jones and Madonna, but the music sounds like a 20-year-old Ibiza disco. She's not progressive, but she's a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I f**king do!"

MIA also suggested that GaGa represents the corporate side of the music industry.

She explained: "She's got a great team behind her, but she's the industry's last stab at making itself important, saying, 'You need our money behind you, the endorsements, the stadiums'. Respect to her, she's kept a thousand people working, but my belief is Do-It-Yourself."
