Lady Gaga vs Roisnin Murphy : who imitated who

Roisin Murphy and Lady Gaga

Hey guys but I am really fascinated about this news. Irish singer Roisin Murphy’s (former member of Moloko) claims of Lady GaGa copying her “outrageous style and attempting to pass it off as her own”? “That’s mine!” cries former Moloko front woman Murphy as she claims responsibility over Lady Gaga’s outlandish looks. Murphy reportedly told the Daily Mail, “She’s copied my style. I met her about a year ago before she got really big and I had no clue that this was all going to happen. She wasn’t wearing shoulder pads at the time, and I was.”

So who copied who? “Lady Gaga is just a poor imitation of me. She has copied my style, she took my shoulder pads and all that. Mind you, she doesn’t wear the bottom half!”

Disgusted about this I immediately looked if this was really true. According to 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.

Now for fans like me who loves Lady Gaga so dearly let us put the issue to rest. XOXO!
