Ayumi in SLT = oh, another GaGa copy?

[pepper]

Something makes me angry in youtube's SLT preview...

When i first saw the photos/youtube preview of PV i really thought "oh, so GaGa!" but with no bad feelings (i love Ayu and GaGa the same)
but one comment make me feel like "meeh":

People dont understand that GaGa is not that herself at all. She is a HUGE star, and SHE is a product (and i still love her that way, i like her music, and her appearance) They made her like this.

She was producing her own costumes at the very beggining,when no one knew her. Now her costumes are/was designed by McQueen (rip) or any other Prada/Versace/weirdotherexampledesigner.

And the most of the important, Ayu did not did "the weird fashioned" pv for the first time. Costumes in Ladies Night, Alterna, crystal-funny-Ayu in Walking proud, Robo-Ayu in Real me or even the cat in Surreal. (maybe in the more japanese way, but they are freaky) And nobody knew who the f is Gaga back then.

Now they dress her in freaky clothes BECAUSE its TREDNY! not for GaGa only! I hate this specification - like Rihanna clothes and comments: OH MY GOD SHE COPIED GAGA!!!111218328 - Yeah, right, you've got a small mind.

GaGa could be inspiration, but the fact is that it's starts from designers, all over new trends and us - the more we like it, the more "freaky clothes" we will see on everyone, not the GaGa only.

I'll be honest, when I first saw the PV preview I thought "LADY GAGA"

[JackieRos]

Lady GaGa didn't do the costumes so people can't say that ayu copied her.
Is all about Alexander McQueen I think that ayu chose these outfits to commemorate his death

but whatever a world without haters is not fun at all

McQueen died after Sexy little things was recorded.

imo, haters gonna hate. The thing that'll annoy them the most is if you don't respond to them

my god, in the world there aren`t thousend of top stylist, if she used the same stylist this won`t mean she copied GaGa or everyone else.
And even if she copied, do we really care?
Honestly I`m interestend in listening a good song and watching a well designed PV. that`s ALL.

now you know how jolin fans feel at every little accusation of copying ayu

lady gaga is bigger than ayu, of course people are going to say "omg she copied" simply because they don't know ayu or they like gaga more. you don't have to agree with or read those kinds of comments, let alone make a thread about it

but i agree, i don't think ayu "copied" gaga

[Raiu-Ayu]

Don't get me started.

Im currently having a huge battle while some idiot that thinks Gaga is soooo original and that ayu copies everything.

Funny tho I asked for one example and what do you know, none have appeared

[love in music]

I'm so sick of comparisons with GaGa. I kind of get it if some artist is just starting to do weird things after GaGa came out, like Rihanna.. but Ayu has always been really ****ing weird, even before GaGa came out

I think it's amazing tbh, it's hugely artistic, it's the kinda thing GaGa would do, if you knwo the first thing about why GaGa does what she does. it's also better then anything Kuu's done ever

Have you ever watched an Ayu concert?

Quite honestly, I find it annoying that Ayumi and Lady GaGa have been compared so much, and that also goes for any other artist out there who came out before Lady GaGa did. I don't deny Ayumi has a similar style to Lady GaGa in Sexy Little Things, but really? It's not like everything is 100% original anymore, down to outfits, filming locations, etc.

[Embleu]

I haven't seen the PV and I don't follow Ms. Gaga's fashions, so I really can't say one way or the other if somebody's getting ripped off, but it seems to me that if Ayu doesn't want to keep being accused of stealing fashion tips from Madonna/Lady Gaga/any other platinum-blonde Italian-American dance-pop singer, she had better make a conscientious effort to come up with original outfits that are completely above suspicion. Maybe she doesn't really care what Netizens think about the origin of her costumes, but that's just my 2¢.

She's already dressed up as a leopard; maybe she can dress up as, er, ah, a giraffe?
