Sophie Ellis Bextor on Telegraph UK:

"I’m not very good at playing the kinds of games to keep myself in the public eye,” she shrugs. “I wouldn’t want to thrust myself in people’s faces like Lady Gaga. I loved her theatricality initially, but four years on, it looks exhausting and she looks exhausted. You know, she’s clomping around in heelless shoes and a meat dress, then Adele comes along and sells billions of records without doing any of that stuff. I just think the only thing you can do is find your own niche and do what works for you. It’s hard enough just keeping your sense of self and remaining on the level. I just want to be able to get up in the morning and know that I’m happy with what I’m doing and be able to face myself in the mirror".

Originally posted by toanythingtaboo i.e. Outlandish theatrics is Gaga's niche, stripped back relatability is Adele's niche.

Originally posted by Rama What has that to do with Gaga tho? It's not like Adele stole those billions of records from Gaga.
