Jagger weighs in on Styles comparison­s

-

Harry Styles doesn’t have the moves like Jagger — according to the man himself.

Rock legend Mick Jagger took issue with the comparison of himself to Styles, the pop singer-songwriter whose musical ascension with chart-topping hits is garnering elite comparison­s. Styles’ third studio album, “Harry’s House,” dropped last week and is expected to be No. 1.

The 78-year-old Jagger, one of the founding members of the Rolling Stones, told the Sunday Times that while he enjoys Styles’s artistry, the comparison­s of the two English musicians is far off.

“I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye makeup than him,” Jagger told the publicatio­n. “Come on, I was much more androgynou­s. He doesn’t have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficia­l resemblanc­e to my younger self, which is fine — he can’t help that.”
