It’s safe to say that Mick Jagger won’t be taking up residence in “Harry House” anytime soon.
The rock legend, who has long served as an inspiration to Harry Styles, addressed the comparison between himself and the former One Direction singer, while also somewhat dismissing the singing abilities of his pop pupil.
During an interview with The Sunday Times just a day after Styles released his third studio album, “Harry’s House,” the Rolling Stones frontman gave his unflattering opinion of the singer’s moves, which revealed Turns out that’s not like Jagger at all.
“I like Harry — we have an easy relationship,” Jagger told the outlet.
“I mean, I used to wear more eye makeup than that. Come on, I was a lot more bisexual,” he continued. “He doesn’t have the same voice as me or be on stage like me; he’s just in tune with my younger self. There’s a superficial resemblance, which is fine — he can’t help it.”
Sure, Styles has benefited immensely from the mold that Jagger broke with her signature on-stage swagger and gender-neutral fashion choices.
And yet, little has changed since Jagger’s heyday with Styles, from right-wing pundits on social media back in 2020 to wearing a gown on the cover of Vogue.
“Clothes are for having fun and experimenting and playing,” Styles told Vogue at the time. “What’s really exciting is that all these lines are just kind of collapsing. When you take ‘clothes for men and clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, So obviously you open up the area you can play in.”
Jagger has acknowledged his “influence” on the “Watermelon Sugar” singer in the past.
“He’s walking. I know him, he comes to see me on a lot of shows,” the 78-year-old rocker told The Press in 2015. “And yes, I can see the effect. But I don’t tell him anything, I just tell him that he looks good. I love him. He’s so gentle.”
For one, the styles seem to have received a relatively frosty reception, often drawing inspiration from Jagger’s fashion and even providing a spot-on impersonation of him on “Saturday Night Live.”
At the time, Jagger at least acknowledged that Styles’ impression was “better” than most, commenting that he wanted the singer to impersonate “in front of me” the next time they cross paths. were going to say
