    They all think that they're original, but they're all the feckin same, shovelling money into the bank, and churning out crap for the masses.

    Even the music channels must have had enough of the music, because they've resorted to filling the schedules with non-music related programmes.

    I thought that I knew what the thread was about, but now I'm pretty sure that I don't really have a clue either.

    I am going to take this topic into the fashion world- i hate hate hate when brands are copied and sold for less. I think that is so disrespectful. In my opinion if you dont have the money to buy the real thing, just dont buy it! So, bottom line, NO COPY CATS!

    This thread seems to be bouncing from one car crash to the next.:eek:

    Maybe it's fashion and style trends that she's using in her video, as opposed to "copying" other artists. I'm sure someone wore a similar outfit before Lady Gaga wore it, and the same with someone using glow in the dark paint before the Black Eyed Peas used it. There are trends and fads in all areas of life, pop music seems to have gone all electro- we could blame loads of people for that, but everyone seems to think it's Lady Gaga who's being copied! If your mate wears Uggs and leggings is she "copying you" or just following the latest trends?!?!!?

    firstly lilly allen your opinion is probably biased............secondly if my friend wore leggings i would probably not accuse her of copying me as i am male

    and just in case you havent noticed the flaw in your point

    A fad, sometimes called a trend or a craze, is any form of behavior that develops among a large population and is collectively followed with enthusiasm for some period, generally as a result of the behavior's being perceived as novel in some way.[1] A fad is said to "catch on" when the number of people adopting it begins to increase rapidly. The behavior will normally fade quickly once the perception of novelty is gone.[1]


    fad/trend=large scale copying...........and as im saying hy cant people be original and not copy........you telling me that pop stars are copying somthing that is widely copied by many from other pop stars isnt exactly an argument

    What I'm saying is that people follow trends and fads- whether it's clothing, hair styles, make up, reading certain books, listening to styles of music, watching certain tv shows even eating certain types of food. Throughout history, fads and trends have been always been followed- are you only noticing now? I'm sure there are ten things you like/ do in your daily life that you only do because you saw it on tv, read it in a magazine, heard it on the radio, your friends do it/ wear it, etc.

    Every one of us is a "copy cat" to some degree!!!

    God, you're fairly rude. I would advise you to re- read your posts and then ask yourself who needs to improve their English. I'll give you a hint- it's not me!! Maybe the reason I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying is that your spelling and punctuation is poor. If you edit your posts, I'll re- read them and then you could perhaps respond to the topic and not make personal, unwarranted insults.
