In conversation he can be sharply funny, and unsparing. Of Demi Lovato, who joined him on “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” at the Wiltern: “The song was in the wrong key for her, so she had an unfortunate time.” “Artpop,” the last album by his friend Lady Gaga? “It was unfocused, and went down the E.D.M. dance-routine thing, and I thought she already made that record,” he said. (He is serving as a sounding board, at least, on her new tracks.)
Ugh, **** him, it's OK if he said the sad truth to her face (which I'm sure he did), but the way he drags it publicly for a billionth time is just not nice.
Omg my mom DRAGGED Demi for that performance, she literally made me come out of my bedroom to watch it and she was like "this girl is terrible and she's singing with a legend how disrespectful of her to not even know the song"
