COPYCAT_Ayumi Hamasaki

[soymilk]

i see a lot of similarities in some of them... but some of the other ones were just plain ridiculous...

i dont think its copying.. it's just inspiration..

[Guest BabyK]

HAHAHA! I guess you're right^^;

But I don't blame her. It's really her company Avex Trax so don't get angry at Ayu. Plus she's just copying the image so that's alright. Not like she stole a copy-written song.

But yeah... Ayu's videos are way better XD

[teaispink]

This is really stupid. Come on, she is not the only one who copies...

=_=" ppl copy each other everyday... like fashion...

no big deal... i like her voice and her song momentum... hahahaha+

[Guest FTIsland&Primadonna]

never listen to her but maybe she just love madonna. haha

[Guest DOUBLE]

her voice is nice but there is no orignality; she tries too hard to be western. Even her name.. Ayumi Hamasaki, why not Hamasaki Ayumi?

Huh? People still call her Hamasaki Ayumi. o.o;

Where'd you get that from? There are Americans who do not want to say her name the traditional way all the time.

Anyway, whatever. I still like her. Plus, alot of her PVs are by the same director.

Why even make threads like this? It's like the only reason you made it is because you want people to come in here and start bashing her.

[Guest Sadana]

First off, Ayumi Hamasaki is my favorite female entertainer of all time. I think she is original, intelligent, gorgeous, amazing, and every other thing you can think of.

Secondly, I think America's entertainment industry is inspirational for many international artists.

Unoriginality is NOT uncommon.

I know this is an Asian dominated forum, so I hope I don't offend anybody, but I see a lot of Asian artists who try and imitate western artists and even each other. Sometimes, I feel like the whole music industry can be like herding sheep...

[butterflyeffect]

Whoever made this has a lot of time on their hands.

I'm not a fan, but she can sing.

About the Hamasaki Ayumi thing. This isn't Japan, we don't need to be all traditional.

and I think most just call people by western style.

ie:

Mika Nakashima

Aya Ueto

well.. you get the picture.

[Guest rockydonnatelli]

alot of western artist copy other artist too, but the add new material.

[Guest patriciaxoxo.]

Seeing the pics, I kinda agree with you, but it's not gonna let me hate her or anything. All celebs do it to increase their popularity. It's a kind of propaganda.

[Guest Babylicious xo12]

she is plastic what do you expect. i honestly dont really care cuz her music is catchy..& she's a singer..that's what she's out there for.

some of those are starking similar but others like this one

comparing makeup..is a really bad idea..just b/c they have the same style of blush..doesnt mean she's copying -.-

[Guest cocomilk]

wow who ever made this was really digging hard

lol at the j.lo one.. there both wearing pigtails??? lol

this is so dumb

[Guest MOOVERDOSE]

Sooo what?

Not only her copies other celebs. Some other celebs too. Not their fault if they love the clothes that the other celebs are wearing.

They are regular people just like us here, we copy other people's style too.

Just like in mydahong online store, "Boa-look-alike" clothes catergory.

I like Ayumi's MVs more though, they have better special FX and nicer costume designs

Well said.

[Guest captainEDEN.]

Aw, some of those are really obvious. some may be coincidence. O_O

she seems to really like Madonna.

[AsianL0ve]

WOAH O_O!..

n i mean WOAHH!! that is super.... weird...

I don't listen 2 AYUMI's songs but dis is super weird O_O

[Guest asillysaint]

Hm, only mere resemblances.

[Guest CutieGirl303]

Proofs= Facts

cant do anything about them. i never heard her sing but fact is fact. (i dont like her nor hate her)

hmm i guess she likes western style too much

[Guest Luvables]

uhh a lot of people wear plaid skirts and a lot of celebrities wear the same style of clothings and brands.... its just many of these are so incomparable.

[Guest lilsh0rtnancy]

Wow... there a lot of similarities in her MV and Perf., but the comparison in her pose and wardrobe is a little bit overboard since everyone does them. Honestly, it's hard to be original these days since everyone is eminating Western styles. If you want to be hip you dress like the American stars, wear your hair like them, drive the same car as them, etc... Can't really blame her if it's what the fans like.

[Guest evilishus]

I don't really know much about her but you can't blame her for all of this. Artists don't really get to choose what they do, their company does.

[Guest nuwera]

This topic is not going to end *sigh*

I don't think people would like it if someone else started another topic posting pics of different celebs copying others

Everyone is blaming Hamasaki Ayumi as if she is the one resposible for all of this ..

Lots of people are changing their views of her after seeing these pics which is not good at all. I guess people want a reason for others to hate her and start bashing her the way members are doing.

Regardless on what people say about her, she is the BEST artist and she will remain my NO 1 artist forever ..
