La Roux Slams Lady GaGa, The Saturdays

La Roux has hit out at "empty" pop music in a new interview.
Elly Jackson - one half of the 'In For The Kill' duo - tells the Daily Record: "I don't want to copy anyone else and I have never tried to sing like anyone else. It's weird."
"There are so few females actually singing nowadays." Jackson continues.
"With girls, it's either empty, hollow girl pop like The Saturdays or the half-speaking-half-singing mockney thing or Lady GaGa, which I don't think you can call singing."
As for female vocalists she does like, La Roux named Florence of Florence & The Machine, Adele and Amy Winehouse.
"There's always been two sides to pop." She added. "There have always been novelty acts. There is too much manufactured stuff at the moment and not enough of the good stuff. Hopefully, that will change."
La Roux release their debut self-titled album on June 29.
