This thread is already messy and I don't understand.
What Gaga's saying that being so controversial, that while she didn't personally know her and since we all know that Amy in another way was also, she could relate to her a bit. She wasn't trying to compare herself to her, wasn't trying to be big and all-out with her statements. And I think the "Don't kill the superstar, take care of her soul" quote is pretty important. I mean, Britney was
ruined by the tabloids at one point that she had, well, her meltdown. Amy is the example of what happens when it doesn't get fixed, and I think this is the big lightbulb for the paparazzi to think "maybe we shouldn't be in their business all the time."
