‘ROUND THE WAY: EVA SIMONS’ PROMO PHOTOS + INTERVIEW SNIPPET

Tuesday, September 22, 2009

Check out some of the official promo photos from Dutch singer Eva Simons. She has been making some waves online with her new video and song, “Silly Boy”.

She recently sat down for an interview with Digital Spy and spoke about her music, mohawk and the ‘Lady Gaga’ comparisons.

On the comparisons to Lady GaGa:
“I don’t really look like her, but I think people compare us because we’re both on the edge and we both like to be a bit freaky. We’re both a bit controversial and make people say, ‘What is she doing?’ I think it’s a compliment to be compared to her because she’s very good at what she does and she’s a writer too. Maybe we can work together one day? I’d love that.”

On her album sound/release date:
“Very uptempo, very electronic and very exciting. The way I sing is quite urban, but the beats are going to be club beats and there will definitely be elements of rock too. I want to release it this year! I really want to release it this year, but they’re telling me it’s going to be the beginning of 2010 and there’s going to be another single first.”

On her Mohawk:
“I’ve had it like this for three months. I saw this style in Tokyo a couple of years ago and thought ‘Nobody wears a Mohawk these days, so why don’t I try it?’ I comb it and make it flat before I go to sleep unless I’m feeling tired and lazy. And I have these hats that I can pull over it, but people are like ‘Why’s she wearing this massive hat?’ When I go to the gym people look at me like I’m some kind of conehead!”

DAMN RIRI GOT COMPETITION. I’m sick of seeing her walk down the street, bout time someone shows her she can easily be replaced.

I watched some videos on youtube with this Eva girl. She can model her ass off. Not to mention, she writes her music, can dance and makes beats. Can Riri do that? LOL!

She looks awesome, no doubt. Very cool style.

Unique? No. Simply because weird/freaky hair and clothes is like the new “normal thing” Gaga’s done it, Rihanna’s done it, shit, at times, even Beyonce’s done it (and they’re all fabulous in my opinion as well).
It’s been done already, I’d be more surprised to see someone dress regularly.

The look fits her, though.

Apologise for the spelling mistakes

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /

I live in London and th only place i’ve heard of her is CL. I’ll listen to her music but i bet it will sound like a Gaga, Rihanna, La Roux immitation.

I agree w/TRUTHFULLYSPEAKING…But, image also plays a big role in a artist career as well. People choose to see before they hear, and nowadays image is most certainly a plus. And 9x out of 10 if people dont like what they see then its a less percentage that that particuar artist will remain relevent. Dating back to the 60’s when muscians wore Big Hair, To bold makeup, to colorful clothes and platform shoes..to afros and dashikis and so forth. Your image is what seperates you from the rest even if the next person is doin it, you gotta simply make it your own. Thats how it then become original. I like EVA because shes very futuristic, her singing isnt the best but its tolerable, She also can dance as well…. The least I can say for many of the artist out now that are relevent off looks and fashion alone.

Basically anyone or anything in Hollywood is manufactured unless there underground. Most underground artist are laid back with there appearance and choose to put more effort in there music rather image.

I like this girl. She seems like she has a great attitude, and is open to speaking instead of being evasive.

However, these chicks like her and Rihanna don’t mean a damn thing to me unless they can sing. Now, we already know Rihanna can’t, so I’m waiting for some music from this girl.

I like her style, I’m gonna check her out on Youtube. She’s funky naturally and I like that….love RIRI (she reps for the tall sistahs) but this girl seems genuine. The Euro’s are like that anyway.

I dont understand people at all, Cassie did her hair like this and people talked bad about her, Rihanna has copied everyone including your momma, but she has style and you all went as far as calling Rihanna a fashion ICON for copying someones style. This chick looks like a Rihanna clone and y’all are saying she is different. There is nothing GAGA about her, if anything Rihanna is about to get her due for copying everyone else and having no talent out of this one here! Only in Freakin America will be except anything! and make it famous….The ones that have talent (Beyonce, Pink, Mary J, Solange and some others) y’all want to complain about, go figure…

@23 I don’t think it’s just Rihanna’s fans who call her a fashion icon. I have seen it in publications and have heard other people who work fashion speak of her as an Icon. One thing about Rihanna she never said she wanted to be a fashion icon or any icon for that matter. Remember people give you that title she never went around saying “I want to be an Icon” which are the words of another entertainer that also says she wants an Oscar. People make a lot of assumptions about Rihanna and the thing is she has spoken since February and even before that she has never had an attitude thinking she is the best she just does her thing. Whether you like it or not I wish her nothing but the best. People like you and others can’t wait to see Rihanna fall which is a shame.

Iam so sick of new artist trying to be edgy ,, it’s seems like talent or creativity are the least important things in the music industry today..the problem is everything is too visual…the music videos and the internet are killing the music industry.

#24 Rihanna is not a fashion icon, her style is not original she copies Prince, Michael Jackson, Fefe, Grace Jones, 90’s Halle Berry hair, everybody under the sun. She looks like a robot trying to be edgy in free designer clothes. Do you think her see thru tops and constant slutty wear is iconic. and she goes overboard trying to be edgy….whatever. Amber Rose and Halle Berry have a much better fashion sense, and they look less forced.

Jackie O was a fashion Icon, So was Audrey Hepburn

What publications are calling her a Icon

Not Vogue or Haarper’s Baazar..

I laugh when certain bloggers want to Call Ribot a Icon…Maybe a Icon of unoriginality

And also Rihanna does want to be called “Fashion Icon”, she prances up and down the street in her free “edgy” designer clothes like it’s a Fashion Show…when it’s obvious she is trying for attention

Oh Please! Rihanna did not copy no Cassie.

Cassie is not even on the Radar and she has no Style.

Cassie just wants a Career and she still has not found one.

Rihanna is an ORIGINAL. She’s the standard when it comes to style and music trends.

This girl is so boring and I’m sick of seeing her. Please stop with the style over substance. There is nothing interesting or edgy about this girl.

NEXT.

Rihanna RUNS this town and all yall know it.

@24 It’s not fail, it show something besides walking around, Rihanna dont have talent and you can agrue she does until the sun never sets again. Because of a Rihanna, chicks like this are going to come out of the wood work. Amber Rose is famous for what now? having a look and the same is with your riri. Having nice songs with no talent these days it all it takes and bam! you a star. The music business is down the drain until they make these so called artist prove them selves. Guess what, they dont care as long as that money comes into play, watch when the money stops and she who’s who! The Music Industry is biggest Pimping game in the world and it just gets worst each year.

I don’t really go back to a post where I have commented but I did today, because I finally decided to look this chick up and see what she’s about and AMYWINEHOUSEFAN thank you for being politely and maturely agreeing/disagreeing with me so this isn’t really in regards to you.

Anyway, LMMAO at this chick! Her voice is horrible! She really does sound similar to Rihanna! I see people are feeding into it… why, because we’ve been introduced to this for years. Now people are thinking that it’s normal to be edgy, fierce, sexy, before talent. It’s crazy. These record labels are ridiculous. By reading her posts on her blog, she seems like a nice girl, but no talent, just look. These images are excellent for a fashion photoshoot, but not music. That’s the problem now-a-days, people are mixing different industries with each other.

she looks rihanna so much sans the mohawk hair in these pics ! does she biracial? i love her video!

wtf

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /

@29.

WTF is wrong with you?? Rihanna aint said she wanted to be a Fashion Icon. Just because she walks down the street(minding her own business) does not mean she wants to be one. People like you make me so sick. Its a damn shame yall put words in that girl’s mouth out to make her this evil person and that girl aint never said one word. I aint heard her speak at all since maybe last year. She aint done sh*t but she on your mind. And if you didn’t visit blogs all the time and went out of the house, you’d have no clue Rihanna “walks up and down the street”.

40.

wtf

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /

@31.

Rihanna aint got nothing to do with Amber Rose. Amber Rose comes from being the “it” girl for right now. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, now Amber is the new girl that everyone wants a piece of. That doesn’t have anything to do with the music industry. Do you blame Rihanna for 9/11 too? Rihanna is successful and she was already out before she hit big. Its her time and you can’t blame her because people like her music. Get a life!

41.

REAL? NUH

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /

What the fukk ya’ll arguing about?
This is Eurocentric style. It’s been done for years way before rihanna stepped in Europe and scoped the style.

It’s more so that Eva is Original and Rihanna passing a Euro style in America. Nobody is copying Rihanna. Come to Europe and see what’s been going on for years.

Eva is just being her Euro superstar self. Get over it! Rihanna will soon need another style to jack now that the originators are coming outta the woodworks to claim their ish and Eva does it better.

42.

vox populi... common sense isn't that common

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 /

I love the mohawk although mohawks never really went out of style. I’ve said it before but I wish her the best. I like her and that style of music. I’ve seen the video on music channels like Chart show tv and flava. Not sure about MTV but it’ll b blowing up on the radio stations soon I imagine.

BTW Cosign with 33 and 39. What is Bored’s problem with Rihanna. Did she sleep with your bf or something. U don’t have to love her or even like her but the constant animosity is just disturbing. It’s not that serious.

she looks black in these photos but in the other batch she looked white. hmmm

anyway riri DID make it easier for chicks with no talent and a stylist to make it big. i don’t know why people don’t understand that. in these photos, she reminds me of riri but in the past ones, she looks like a gaga-wannabe. the question is does she have talent?

this girl is clearly wack. i thought she was ok on the first post because ive seen her youtube and she has a rock sound and can sing live but she is a damn joke!

weve seen this look before and she looks like a a mixture between blue cantrell and faith evans. like their sister with a pinned up mohawk. she said no one was rocking the mohawk so she had to rock it, um what planet is she living on? the mohawk is so played out and 3 months ago that when she decided to do it after seeing someone in tokyo wearing it??

she is a joke!! she will not last!! thats why she is relying on lady gagas lame tactics to get ppl to notice her.

I seriously believe Eva Simon, shes not jacking anyones style you can tell thats how she is. People in The Uk dress like this all the time. The USA is like 50 years behind the UK when it comes to fashion.

Yeah i agree with whomever earlier in this post said that the internet is killing the industry. without these blogs Rihanna would be pretty much irrelevant, no one would know who Amber Rose is, besides seeing her on the red carpet with Kanye. Thats why earlier when the internet wasnt invented there were so many talented artist. Now everyones just trying to seek attention and today thats what you have to do to get noticed no one cares about talent any more just style, and if youre able to make headlines with your behavior. All the real musicians arent conforming and thats why they go unoticed, im talking about the talented musicians like India.Arie and alot of others that we question a year later “Whatever happened to ________” Its sad but true.

Eva looks NOTHING like Rihanna! I think because this girl has way more personality than Rihanna, makes it more convincing that this is her OWN style, and that she is comfortable with herself.

But Rihanna shows no personality whatsoever through her style. A boring personality is not FIERCE.

In her early years ‘Music in the Sun’ and ‘Girl Like Me’ era, Rihanna dressed in jean and hoodie, with a Beyonce style haircut. THIS was the REAL Rihanna.

Her ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ image, it’s all false. She had to manufacture her image to boost her career. I’m afraid at the moment, Rihanna is the one being unreal here.

55.

WOOOOOOW I like her. I Iike her style too. I looove Lady Gaga. She is fun, freaky, crazy, unique and a nut case. Beyonce copies off of Lady Gaga. But I could of sw orn that Rihanna is the one who brought back the “leotards” in her umbrella video and then the next thing you know you see Ciara, Beyonce, Eva and Lady Gaga wearing leotards.

I like her….she stands out. Beyonce does what everyone else or most people has been doing.

59.

HAHA

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 /

@51.

That aint got nothing to do with it. Its possible to be able to sing and make it big. HELLO BEYONCE!! That’s no excuse. Its all about keeping people interested. Ciara is wack now nobody is interested. Beyonce keeps people interested with her performances. She knows how to play the game. It don’t matter if you can sing but if you can that’s good but if you not keeping people interested you will never make it. People just want you to keep their attention whether its your performances, your personality, your style, your dancing, your controversy….THAT’S HOW YOU MAKE IT BIG. It has been like that since MJ became the King of Pop. He started a new way to promote yourself instead of just being a good singer. You gotta come with the full package. India Arie had an album out and nobody bought it. So if nobody buys it, how can you complain??

60.

HAHA

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 /

I saw this Eva girl a couple of years back and she aint look like this so I guess she changed up her style to be like everybody else. Not feeling the Silly Boy song. Oh well, she probably won’t be around long.

Eva is fierce looking forward to her stuff. Know she’s going to be super big, there’s already big buzz surrounding her.

The Rihanna fans need to not take the comparisons too seriously. In the music biz, heck in the media, there is always someone who can replace you so you gotta stay on top of your game.

When Beyonce came out solo she was Queen B (she still is in my book), but then they tried to bring out Rihanna to takeover…that didn’t work so they switched up her style and did rock chick. In the space of time she’s been off Lady Gaga has come through and now this Eva chick. Let’s see if Rihanna and Gaga manage to stay on top of their game. I hope so because there should be enough room for all.
