Meanwhile, the original Cherie Currie (that’s Dakota Fanning playing Cherrie on the right in the picture above with Kristen Stewart playing Joan Jett on the left) isn’t too keen on the way the judges on American Idol seem to want to take away the individuality of performers on the show. Here’s a bit from an interview on
———————————————————————————————————————–
“Instead of seeing what I see in these performers ? the star in them ? it just seems like they’re [the judges] making one bad note into an issue. To me, they’re missing the point of what’s happening. Trust me, if I was on that panel, it’d be a little bit of a different show.”
“It’s easy to say, ‘You need more self-confidence, but we don’t like the style of clothes you’re wearing,'” she says. “The kid that’s doing the Jim Morrison thing, that’s what makes him feel comfortable. But they just stripped that away from him. Now’s he’s got to go to the mall! And that’s exactly the wrong thing to do.”
Currie believes that kind of advice would have been devastating to her in her early days, when she idolized and mimicked David Bowie.
“I needed David Bowie when I started in The Runaways,” she says. “That was my jump-off point. If I could embody him, then I could find my way. But if you had taken David Bowie away from me in the very beginning of The Runaways, I never would have found myself. It would have crushed me. But through that, channeling whatever that was, really turned me into quite a good performer.
“He got me through those first few months out on the road. I was too young to know who I was, like a few of these guys. Really too young.”
