also, madonna herself says that plagiarism and copying is an acceptable process in creation and she herself has "copied" quite a bit! look at this website: http://www.aishamusic.com/lawsuit_ma...stole_from.htm anyway, even so, i'm still a big fan of madonna and definitely of ayu!!! <3 |
Don't start the Jolin bashing again ~~'
She never said she is unique or innovative, just that she is Jolin and doesn't need to be compared to Ayu every time... and even if I'm not a Jolin fan, she is right! Her music doesn't sound like Ayu's, her videos don't look like Ayu's, her style doesn't look like Ayu's... It doesn't matter if she copied Ayu on the begining if it also doesn't matter if Ayu copied Madonna on the begining...
About Ayu being weird, that wasn't said by Jolin, was said by the new Wacoal Spokeperson (and she didn't said "weird", she used a word that can be positive or negative depending on how it's translated). The only thing Jolin said about Ayu's fashion is: That Ayu is a trendsetter, and for that reason she feels honoured for the being compared... and that she would never do something as bold as I am... cover... what is totally understandable, considering jpop doesn't have lots of girls releasing albums with nude photoshots on the cover (while Ayu did it 3 times)
