Lady Gaga's wild fashion sense is one of a kind.
At least it was, back when Roisin Murphy invented it.
Or so the Irish electro-pop ice-maiden claims, sparking perhaps the biggest music Twitter feud of the past day. Did Lady Gaga steal her off-the-wall style?
Yes she did, according to Roisin Murphy, 36, who told Irish Central that one of the hottest names in pop today is just a knockoff, and a poor one at that:
"Lady Gaga is just a poor imitation of me. She has copied my style."
Is she just jealous of the newcomer's fame or does Murphy have a point? A look at these Lady Gaga pictures compared with hers sheds some light on that:
Does Lady Gaga (top montage) take visual cues from Roisin Murphy?
Okay, so the Irish singer makes a point. But on the flip side, maybe she should just get over it. What musician doesn't emulate their predecessors in some form?
The Beatles, Elvis, The Clash, Bruce Springsteen and others have inspired artists far and wide. Michael Jackson has been ripped off by pretty much everyone.
We say let Lady G be.
As long as her songs keep climbing the charts, Perez Hilton wants to be her, magazines want to show Lady Gaga nude, and random fans want to dissect concert videos to start rumors that she's a hermaphrodite, then more power to her.

it's hardly stealing her style, you could find lots of pictures of singers in suits with mirrors or with big hair.

This is retarded news. EVERYONE takes ideas from other artists. It's a fact. Lady Gaga just manipulated them so they looked better, that's all. Roisin Murphy is just pissed cuz she's not as famous as Lady Gaga right now and her looks are better. Besides, who is Roisin Murphy?? Hmm? Never heard of her! How IRONIC

clearly everyone who has posted a comment was born past the year 1995. Roisin was part of the hugely successful moloko, who when they performed completely shat on anything the lady gaga did. Lady gaga looks like that annoying wog that you went to school with, and speaks like she is gargling marbles. Her music Sucks! and she can't dance! It's just funny how quickly she will pay homage to other artists and has never mentioned roisin. Roisin is the coolest person on the planet!

yeah as long as lady gaga is making money who cares if she stole her music and style is basically what this article said. Hollywood is all about the benjamins...no one cares if your tlented or have the heart as long as your making someone money they could give a care less about originality.
Lady Gaga is good....but i bet the person she stole her image and music from can do it alot better.

Poor you.You don't really understand that Lady Gaga didn't steal from Rosin, whoever she is though, she just took some ideas.Think about these:
Pic 1.Does Rosin have a "Poker Face" mask?No she has no masks.She has only somekind of a mirror hairstyle.Plus I don't see any cool leathersuit with the "crystals", let's say.
Pic 2.Lady Gaga has nothing white that kinda looks like a web.She has golden-colored "connected circles" around her face.
Pic 3.Dudes, get serious!Copied hairstyle?What??If I make a big hairstyle you'll may be say I coppied Lady Gaga,[next is said ironicly] pardon mee Rosin!The thing is that you can copy a hairstyle!What, you think that worldwide superstars like for example Sarah-Jessica Parker, Rihanna or others don't have other stars with the same hairstyle???I'm still at school and on 15th of September I'll make myself a Lady Gaga Hairbow.I know I'm not famous,but is Rosin famous now?Lady Gaga is famous now, it's not the Rosin's era know, it's Lady Gaga's era.
Pic 4.My comment is that Rosin looks like a 50 year oldfashioned grandma!Lady Gaga looks absolutely perfect.

Really hope you were watching the pictures while reading the above.I thing those reasons are enough to say the differences between stealing/making new extreme fashion from someone else's fashion.Rosin is just pissed and jealous about the new singer being better in everything than her.She wants to kick her out of the musical busyness just because she can't take that she's not the №1 extreme-fashion icon and singer.Just like the other people who say she's a hermaphrodite or a tranny, cause they don't like her or her songs.Like in a Lady Gaga song:There's nothing else I can say, eh eh, eh eh......To the s.tupi.d gossip-makers:All I can say is eh!Lady Gaga, stay poker-faced and beware of the papa,paparazzi!Just dance, because YOU CAN and everything'sgonna be OK!
