Grace Jones: 'I turned down copycat GaGa'

Grace Jones has claimed that she turned down the opportunity to play live with Lady GaGa because she is not original enough for her.

The singer confirmed to The Guardian that GaGa made enquiries about the two artists collaborating.

Jones said: "Yes, she did, but I said no. I'd just prefer to work with someone who is more original and someone who is not copying me, actually.

"I've seen some things she's worn that I've worn, and that does kind of p*ss me off... I wouldn't go to see her."

She added: "I really don't think of her at all. I go about my business... I just don't play with other acts as a rule."

Lady GaGa has previously admitted that she is a fan of Jones and described the star as her "Jesus".

MIA and ex-Moloko frontwoman Roisin Murphy have both previously suggested that GaGa mimics their past style.
