kinda liked her before the interview. liked her more after the first run of the show. by the third replay, all i really liked was the two songs, which were insanely great and highlight why she is a true artist, and as popular as she is.
no matter what question or statement howard asked, she always said "not really, it's more of a...." or "no, i see it as....". she was always correcting howard's statements. on several occasions howard was getting to the "meat" of basic psychology (when she was talking about her father and success) and she was always contradicting anything he said.
when she told the story of her father always playing rock albums in the house when she was growing up (floyd, acdc, zeppelin, etc) and then writing the song "edge of glory" with him as his father (her grandad) was dying, i was riveted. then she sung the song by herself accompanying on the piano. probably one of the most beautiful musical moments on howard's show since coming to sirius. the only other song i can think of that comes close was dave grohl doing "my hero" acoustic.
i know she is young, and want's to be in charge. that's why she is so contradictory whenever howard said something. it's a way of being in control. but it made her sound kinda silly sometimes. but she is young and has a lot of room to grow. but having this much success so young, and trying to act like she is "all about the truth", she is going to wind up looking kinda foolish farther down the line. obviously, this is all just my opinion. howard was very happy with the interview, and i am not stupid enough to call the show and voice my opinion....so i will rant here like the internet idiot i am.
but the songs she did definitely showed she is not just some talentless gimmick. and busting out her phone to play her demo-ing stuff? awesome!!! i do the same thing.
