Macy Gray has been talking about her feelings on new pop sensation, Lady GaGa. The soul singer feels that the Alejandro hit-maker is teaching people that it is cool to be different.

Macy told VIBE Magazine: “Lady GaGa tells kids that it’s okay to be different and outlandish, and she backs it up with real talent so I like her. There’s no specific formula. If you want to last you have to be good and master your craft. You have to have real talent to stick around. Whatever you do, make sure you practice and do it well.

“Like Lady GaGa, she’s the only person that does what she does. I’m the only person that does what I do. You have to find that thing that you have that nobody else has.
