Janet Jackson Tells Lady GaGa to Slow Down

'She works so hard, and I told her, I think she needs to slow down just a little bit, take some time out for herself,' the Grammy-winning songstress says in an interview.

Janet Jackson has revealed that she has told the hard-working Lady GaGa to slow down. When chatting with MTV about the rising star recently, the 43-year-old songstress recalled what she has said to the younger singer, "She works so hard, and I told her, I think she needs to slow down just a little bit, take some time out for herself."

During the interview, Janet also declared her love to the "Bad Romance" singer. "I really love Gaga, yeah, and she's a sweetheart," she said. The Michael Jackson's sister went on to praise GaGa as saying, "it's not always the case when you meet them. You can enjoy their work, but it's not always such a - so pleasant when you get to know their personality, and she truly is a sweetheart."

In mid-March, GaGa has sparked concern over her health after she was seen on the brink of collapsing on-stage during her Auckland, New Zealand gig. Delivering her hit song "Bad Romance", the 23-year-old later on was seen sitting down on the steps before finishing the song while lying on her back. Her spokesperson Michael Coppel later blamed her near-passed out moment as result of fatigue and heat.

"It was warm at the show, she was tired and bit dehydrated by the end of a two-hour plus performance," Coppel stated. He went on to say that the "Poker Face" hitmaker pushed through the next performance without a hitch. "She performed the second Auckland show the following night without an issue and will be back in full match fitness for her first Australian show," so he claimed.
