I’m not clear why image has to match music perfectly. It’s an interesting comment from MIA, but that doesn’t mean she’s getting at some cardinal rule of musicianship. Even if Gaga’s music lags behind a bit, it’s safe to say that her public image has pushed the envelope in certain respects.
And this commentary about Alexis Krauss following the American dream, doing what every little American girl wants to do and failing. “Everyone wants you to be an apathetic consumer over there.” Since when did MIA have her finger on the pulse of every American teenager? If her qualms with globalization are getting at something (and they are), then the apathetic consumer part applies increasingly to every country.
