Lorde has responded to critical comments made by Iggy [Amethyst] Azalea to Billboard about her performance with the surviving members of Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in April.
"Nothing against her, but I think when you're doing a tribute to someone that's dead, generally it should be the person's peer," Azalea told Billboard in her recent cover story. "Lorde is not Kurt Cobain's peer. No matter if she killed the performance or not, I just don't think it's appropriate." More

I'm not Marilyn Manson in drag, I'm Iggy!
Everyone knows Lorde, the great but quirky semi-divine, semi-human overnight popstar. She became famous at 16 for her hit "Royals." But who is Iggy (born Amethyst Azalea)? Apparently being unattractive is now no obstacle for female rockers, just as it has never slowed down males (too many examples to mention, but how about that guy who married Julia Roberts). Look at various iterations of Lady Gaga, or the latest version of Madonna, and lots of new artists are proving that tons of makeup and flashy stripper moves and clothes are enough. Look:
