Roisin Murphy : Lady Gaga stole my look!

[retailqueen]

You have no proof that she decides what she wears; just like I know she doesn't.

and I can talk about what i like to (and yes my point does relate to this thread).
She is not copying Rosin Murphy, the responsibility isn't hers but rather her PR team who have obviously studied others.
Nothing is remotely organic about her. such a waste and her fans can hate me if they want to. she is as manufactured as Brtiney. At least with Rosin there has been a certain style evolution and I don't eblieve she has the means/team being her like GAg do.

Fake, $2 fashion icon.

I honestly didn't know who was Roisin Murphy before this article came out, if someone is stealing your look than deal with it it's not that serious, Lady Gaga maybe has a interesting style but NONE of them come close to Peaches in my eyes.

[fashion tyger]

I can't remember but I think it was Vivienne Westwood who was asked once "Has anyone ever stole your ideas???" the designer stated "yes all the time" the interviewer asked "what do you do???" the designer stated "come up with more ideas" I absolutely loved it!!!! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery right??? If Lady Gaga is siphoning her style and I was Roisin Murphy I'd be like "damn straight it's cuz I'm so badass!!!" But like you I really didn't know who Roisin Murphy actually was until tonight.I have several Moloko songs but never knew the name of the singer,but I was thinking maybe it was smart of her to bring it up cuz I downloaded a bunch of Roisin Murphy tonight.....

I seriously doubt Roisin cares. But er, if she does...well...I wouldn't want to take her on.

no it was a question posed to roisin regarding gaga and roisin responded,counting her dislike over her repetitiveness. and roisin isn't the one putting this out there like this the media is...nme took the article and emphasised roisin's quotes. that's all.

and who's to say a person can't call another so-called artist out like this? i feel as if you're being copied then you should be able to expose them. especially if those said artists go about thinking they're the high priestess of all things extraordinary and innovative. not. and yes,i do think roisin's manner of style IS highly original. again,who other than bjork has explored this more adventurous sense of expression without looking redundant? and anyone who's been a fan or knows of roisin reasonably well,know she has been doing such things since she was in moloko. so it's not like what she's saying has no substance.

and give me a break with the PR/puppet crap. gaga gets on her little pretentious bandwagon all the time thinking what she does is some serious form of art when in fact all it is britney-style pop/dance. and wasn't it gaga who claimed xtina was stealing her style? it goes both ways dearies. i mean you cannot claim originality when you aren't really.

I completely agree but the problem I had was that Roisin can't sue Lady Gaga for stealing her style she can only call her out for being "inspired" by her style.

[Katie123]

Roisin has already said afterwards that her words were taken out of context and she wishes Gaga all the luck.

That being said, there is nothing original about Lady Gaga even on the way she talks when giving interviews. Even her voice is trying to hard. And having Haus of Gaga doesn't mean she's original, it just means her record company from the beginning placed all their bets on her giving her a massive budget to build and keep this imagine she (or someone else) created. Looking back at old images of her there's NOTHING different of original about the way she dressed. And her whole speech of 'but now I finally am who I've always wanted to be, the way I've always wanted to dress' isn't convincing at all. It's not like she used to dress a bit quirky but wasn't allowed to completely explore it because people didn't get her. She was a typical american girl with a tight top and denim skirt who from day to night became that

dont like gaga anyways... her style is totally overrated and certainly far from looking like the real thing.
she is the purest of all PR products..style mainly

I hope this is irony.

[Filipe]

^ or sarcasm

[XxXRedRubYXxX]

It is definitely sarcasm on Lady Gaga's part , but I'm NOT talking about Peaches Geldof at all she's gross, I'm talking about Peaches the electro-rapper-singer.

I remember when I first read about this...I had a strong feeling it was nonsense from the beginning. Both Lady Gaga & Roisin have both been inspired by Grace Jones first and foremost. The thing about Lady Gaga regardless if people like her or not is that she truly knows fashion- this isn't just some pop tart who's being told what to wear- the woman is very smart and is heavily involved in everything she does.

Anyways here is what Roisin said about the foolishness:

Roisin's publicist sent me an official statement by Roisin herself, in which she rectifies the Lady Gaga commotion. It goes to show one can never trust the tabloids, ever. And now, over to Roisin:

STOP PRESS! WHEN SHOULDER PADS CLASH!!: As far as I was concerned I was doing a short interview to promote, 'I'm Every Woman' a Charity record for ACTION AID and ended up getting myself into a tabloid trap. As the press are inclined to do, they have taken some comments I made completely out of context and completely fabricated others.

I NEVER said 'Lady Gaga is a poor imitation of me' That was a completely made up quote. I respect Lady Gaga's work as an artist and as a fellow fashion icon. She is a very talented performer, playing the piano, singing live and dancing too. I Don't Care about Shoulder pads! Not every female artist needs to be at odds with their contemporaries - I prefer to focus on the wonderful things happening in my life, which are plentiful.

I am a very honest person (which can often be problematic when it comes to doing press) but I am not a bitchy person. All the best to Lady Gaga - she is fantastic.

^and there you go. just a bunch foolish mis-quotes. but i can't help still agreeing with even the fabricated areas of her comments though much of it,imo,is true. and yes i do agree that both women owe a lot to grace jones....but i think the slight difference between what she did and what roisin has been donning is that roisin is slightly more whimsical,humorous and a tad kitschier in her style....grace is and was very strong and often wore stuff that had a more elegant edge.
