She's a muppet.

Her voice is as, if not more, adoniodal as Dido's singing along to a 1 man band casio keyboard.

What a pile of sh*te. Why do people keeping buying La Roux's stuff?

...and trust me, i'm not a Taylor Swift fan.

So in other words, she's jumping on the bandwagon to make sure she gets some of the publicity!

She knows it wouldn't be much of a story if she just had a go at Kanye.

I don't really see the big deal with La Roux tbh. I heard her song- it just sounded average to me. Pretty catchy, but that's it. Nothing special.

Jackson added: "I do think people should stand up more against rubbish music and people should say, 'No, sorry this isn't that good'."
OK then, girl from La Roux. I will do just that, by not buying any of your woeful music.

Pretentious little bitch.

Errrrrgh she is such an annoying patronising bitch!

Taylor swift has HEAPS of talent and can actually sing in other keys they that god awful screechy high one elly seems to only be able to sing in.

i'm a fan of La Roux's music, but Elly is one of the most unappealing people in the business.

if she doesn't like Taylor Swift then fair enough, but she should just keep it to herself - not everyone likes your music, love. or maybe it's just inexperience. i'll decide what music i like for myself, thanks. don't need you to tell me what you think is good and bad.

she certainly knows how to make people hate her. people in glass houses...

LOL, the lead singer looks like a lesbian, Taylor Swifts music is better than the crap la roux puts out. The la roux singer has a really irritating voice which forces me to change the channel.

Who does she think she is? Not like her music is something mindblowing and unique. Her voice is completely below average too.

I love how she's like 'You're a dick for ruining Taylor Swift's moment, you should keep it to yourself' and then continues to slag Taylor off?

That said, La Roux comes off a lot more manufactured and contrived than Taylor.

Wish this so-called-original-band would go away, now! Taylor Swift is talented and dignified, they could learn a thing or two from her.

How can SHE call TAYLOR manufactured when Taylor has written most of her songs and melodies when she was a teenager (without any commercial gain).

La Roux is a total bitch and should only comment like that when she has actually released a good song instead of a three-and-a-half minute audio clip of a cat being repeatedly thrown against a wall.

I don't like how she calls other music "rubbish", as if it was a universal truth.

Prasanth I completely agree.
It's HER opinion that Taylor's music isn't good, it's not a fact and just because she thinks it doesn't mean everyone does. Maybe people aren't standing up and saying 'This isn't good music' because these people actually like her music and think it's good !? I much prefer Taylor's music to La Roux's.

Firstly, La Roux are not a manufactured act. Secondly, what do any of those things you list have to do with you thinking they are?

I prefer them over Taylor Swift myself.

Jeez, you would have thought she'd killed someone!

Anyway, it's her opinion, she can say what she wants really. Their music is much more my thing than Taylor Swifts.

She's got a big mouth for someone who's sole talent is singing badly to Nintendo.

La Roux blatantly is shooting her mouth off when she knows nothing about Taylor Swift - she writes all of her own songs; plays the guitar; and is capable of singing live - I don't particularly like her music, but I can see it's not manufactured.
I prefer La Roux's music to Taylor's, but I think Elly needs to learn to shut up if she doesn't know everything about someone (and preferably, even if she does.) I cannot stand her "I don't like it so you can't or you're an idiot" attitude.

I actually also prefer La Roux to Taylor Swift but thats not the point. its the blatant hypocrisy. You can't tell me that not alot of thought went into Elly's image. As the quiff grows.. 100,000 more records are sold. It basically just covers up that their music is hollow and unoriginal and there are far better electro pop bands

I like some of La Roux's songs, and also a few of Taylor's, but I absolutely cannot defend what this silly girl has come out with. If she doesn't like Taylor's music, fine. There are plenty people who don't. But keep it to yourself! Not only that, the blatant hypocrisy in her statement is so noticeable. There is nothing original about La Roux and their music sounds more manufactured than Taylor's. Also, Elly Jackson's live singing voice is god awful. I watched a live lounge performance of 'Bulletproof' and she was absolutely terrible.

She should keep her mouth shut. A number 1 singles does not a talented artist make.
