Deborah Harry

Blondie singer Debbie Harry has accused Madonna of stealing her look when she rose to fame in the 1980s.

Harry was an up-and-coming musician when Madonna became a pop sensation with her self-titled debut album in 1982, and is convinced the Like a Virgin singer got the idea for her platinum blonde hairdo from the now-62-years-old star.

She says "I came right up against the Madonna thing. Maybe it's my paranoia but she had a lot of my looks. If you look closely, sometimes there are pictures of her and me that completely overlap.

"She(Madonna) was getting such a huge push from Warner Bros., I was definitely on the B-list. It was a hard peiod for me. I don't think anybody knew how to market me or what to do with me. I was like a fish out of water."

Gwen Stefani- The bindi trendsetter.

The reductive Queen of thievery accused Gwen Stefani for copying her few years ago.
"MADONNA: STEFANI STOLE MY STYLE
Queen of pop and fashion icon MADONNA is certain that HOLLABACK singer GWEN STEFANI has pinched her style.

The MATERIAL GIRL is fond of Stefani but is adamant that she has copied her appearance and taste in husbands.

Madonna says, "She ripped me off. We work with a lot of the same people.

"She married a Brit, she's got blonde hair and she likes fashion." 

" "That c**t's been stealing 
    from me for the last ten years so I thought 
    it was about time I paid her back". "

Forget about theese ridiculous and pitifull charges and look who really copied whom:

Some magazines credit Madonna for setting the trend with henna on hands or the bindi.

Well Gwen Stefani was doing it since 1995/94- 3 or 4 years before Queen of Copy.

Surrealists

Music video for 'bedtime story' was inspired by many surrealist artists. Some of them were totaly ripped off by Madge. That's what we could expect from her. She wouldn't have been herself if she hadn't copy someone.

Marilyn Manson- the inspiration in late 90's

There are some artists who Madonna especially liked to copy is some eras . In the begining it was Olivia Newton John, in the early 2000's it was Kylie Minogue, Confessions era was inspired by Raffaella Carra, now it's Lady Gaga. The same was with Marilyn Manson. He gave Madge's some ideas in 1998- 2000 years, mostly in 'Nothing really matters' video.

                            

Lady Gaga: the new threat for 'the queen'

After very reaching Madonna's accusations that 'Born this way' samples 'Express yourself' many of her fans began making stupid sites all over the internet comparing Gaga with Madonna. Most of theese comparisons are not even worth the time and space to watch them. Moreover, can we say that Gaga copies Madonna while Madonna didn't invent anything herself? I don't think so. Here are some examples of people wearing and doing things before Mandonna.:

After the whole thing with 'Gaga copying Madonna' began Madge thought she can copy Gaga and run away with it because 'Gaga copied her first' or 'She is a queen and she can do whatever she wants'. That's why she sampled 'I like it rough' in 'some girls'. Even the title 'some girls' is not a coincidence. Theese are the first words of 'Dance in the dark'( after the spoken intro). The bassline of 'gang bang' was taken from the intro of Gaga's 'highway unicorn'. Also on MDNA tour Madge mixed the lyrics of 'Born This Way' with 'she's not me'. But was she allowed to do so? Of course not. Even if Gaga really plagiarised her it wouldn't give her any rights to do the same.

Soldiers, throwing people on the floor, half-naked dancers and soldiers, rosaries, crosses, possessed behaviour with violin music in background... does this remind you something?
