Not too surprising

Elizabeth Woolridge Grant apparently, far too posh and/or boring for music. Isn't Joss Stone not her real name?

- no, Joss Stone isn't Lana Del Ray's real name.

Who really cares?

Sting
Lady Gaga
Bono
etc etc etc

It's a stage name for a performer who acts through her songs. Where on earth is the problem in that? Some people don't want authenticity, they want entertainment.

funkycow | 27 Mar '12, 13:34 | X | ^ This | Reply
but the music industry told me she was a totally authentic indie sensation?

guntrip | 27 Mar '12, 13:42 | X | ^ This | Reply
her real name was known way before even Video Games

was released. 'AKA Lizzy Grant' was the actual *title* of her previous album so she was hardly hiding her real identity lke

Please stop talking about Lana Del Rey and maybe...

She'll go away.

  I can't ever recall discussing Emeli Sande, for instance, and she sells shitloads.

- Alright then, pop quiz:
  
  Who are these rather boring sounding persons in their POP guises:
  1) Tracey Marrow
  2) Saul Hudson
  3) Alex Huntley
  4) O'Shea Jackson
  5) Robert Matthew Van Winkle
  6) Patrick Brannon (now in the "failed reality star" bin)
  7) John Osbourne, Terence Butler, William Ward
  8) Orville Richard Burrell
  
  Enough mentioning this wizzened hype harpy, she's already old old news.

  - Your knowledge of rap is quite outdated, isn't it?
    
    1 Ice-T
    2 Slash
    3 Alex Kapranos, except his actual name is Huntley-Kapranos
    4 Ice Cube
    5 Vanilla Ice
    6 Donny Tourette
    7 Ozzy, Geezer and, um, Bill
    8 MC Hammer

        In my defence
        
        I like to remember rap WHEN IT WAS GOOD. EARLY 90'S REPRAZENT :p :p :p Not counting Shaggy or Vanilla Ice. And these are MOSTLY the ones that stuck in my head from years of reading my sisters' Smash Hits. Yes I could have put Calvin Broadus but I don't really like him.
