Kerli On Lady Gaga Comparison Frustrations

Posted on June 11, 2011 by popdirt
singer Kerli

spoke with the Michigan weekly Between The Lines about whether she feels any resentment towards Lady Gaga, who the Estonian artist is often compared to even though she began her career a few years before Gaga. “No. It’s fine,” the 24-year-old said. “I just feel like it’s hard for every creative female artist out there because you get compared to her so much. But in a way, I’m actually really happy that there is a big artist out there who’s pushing the envelope. That’s good for other creative females. I’ve always done my thing and would like to get credit for it as well.”

Kerli Proud Of Gaining Independence, Embarrassed About Her Negativity

Posted on December 11, 2009 by popdirt
Kerli

updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (December 10), asking them what is the one thing they are the most proud of this year and the one thing they’re the most embarrassed of. Offering her own responses, the Estonian singer told readers:

I am proud of gaining my independence dealing with the music business and being able to put my foot down and not take any sh**. This is more than selling albums for me. This is what I live and breathe and I am absolutely not gonna have anyone who doesn’t feel the same way about it, work on it. Like I always say…I don’t want your pittyfu**, I want your whole existence. It’s all gonna come together… is coming together already.

What I am embarrassed of is my negativity. I find myself talking a lot of sh** and being overly critical about life and people.

And then I get very hurt when people talk sh** about me. So I guess It’s kind of stupid for me to preach the whole “what goes around, comes around” theory and not fully practice it. From now on, I promise to really make an effort to put myself in other peoples shoes before I pass any judgment whatsoever.

Now u…tell

Kerli… She’s A Lover, She’s A Fighter

Posted on November 28, 2009 by popdirt

checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (November 25), talking about being a lover and a fighter. The Estonian pop singer writes:

It’s like there’s two of me.

One that has been hurt a lot. She is scared of things and thinks she needs to fight for everything. She thinks that unless she dwells in the deepest parts of her soul the whole time, nobody will take her seriously. That when everybody likes what she does, she won’t be respected. She’s a fighter.

And then there’s this other one.

Kerli

updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (June 11), talking about how she’s feeling at the moment. The Estonian singer writes:

I feel like I’m being born.
It hurts so much.
Feels like I’m being pushed towards the light through a really narrow tunnel with spikes on the walls. When my movement, my actions, my words and my thoughts aren’t focused on the light, It’s really painful.
I still get stuck.
It’s hard to leave the warm darkness even though I know there’s a whole world out there for me to experience. For me to help change. Like many of us came to help with the change.

Ask Kerli Anything

Posted on March 15, 2009 by popdirt

asked fans on her blog at MySpace to ask her anything, dozens have and she’s answered most. Responding to one fan to asked if people have ever tried to influence her to change her style of music, the Estonian pop singer responded:

Have they?

:D

Of course. Music industry is a hard industry to deal with, especially if your goal is not to make a lot of money but to just create from the purest, most honest place. But then at the same time, you would be silly not to use every possible way to get your music to people so…

Big labels don’t wanna take any risks and putting out this first album took me about 7 years. I wasn’t ready to put out anything for the most of it but I’ve definitely fought my fights to sound the way I do. And still, I feel like I could create such intense fairytale themes that the radio would refuse to play. It will all come. Right now I just wanna use all the ways possible to reach as many people as possible and if that means not making ambient music under this label, than that’s ok.

Check out the rest of the responses and pose some more here.
