Overexposure in the media can kill a career and this is precisely what will happen to Lady Gaga if she doesn’t just go away for a while, rocker Ozzy Osbourne says in a recent interview.

Speaking with Us Magazine just recently, the veteran rocker admits that he sees the novelty in a pop star like Gaga and actually appreciates her for what she does musically. Still, she has to play her cards right.

As Ozzy sees it, people may tire of Gaga because she’s always in the press, doing extravagant things and, most importantly, grabbing headlines for other things than her music.

Of course, he’s not the first to put this idea out there, but he’s the first to suggest that she should take some time off and simply fall off the radar. This way, she will give people a chance to miss her.

“I do think Lady Gaga should take a break for a little while. She’s getting to be too much, and she doesn’t watch the exposure of her clothes. She’s just too overexposed,” Ozzy says.

That’s not to say, however, that Gaga is meritless. On the contrary, actually, if she plays her cards right, she will turn into a pop icon fans will adore decades from now on – just like Madonna.

“She could be the next Madonna if she played her cards right. I like her, but I’m getting a bit sick of her. When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lamp shade or whatever. She needs to take a break, I think, for an hour or so,” Ozzy says.

“I love her, I think she’s really, really entertaining, but she’s doing a bit too much. Every day it is something else. The specialness of her is gonna get killed if she doesn’t calm it down,” the rocker adds.

“Who manages her? Someone should whisper in her ear and say back off for a couple of months – let people gain interest back. Let people want you, you know?” Ozzy adds.
