First Rihanna now Christina, who's next?

I came in here to act sarcastic and completely deny it, but omg, Xtinas clip could practically be a behind the scenes of Marinas.

Please. There are a lot of videos with deserts, colors, etc.
And Your Body's video + Diva's video have been directed by Melina, so similiarities are not unexpected.

I think the desert video theme Including a car is not a Marina & The Diamonds idea.

Belinda Carlisle - Leave A Light On (1989)

Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much (1998)

Mariah Carey - I Stay In Love (2008)

I really like Marina and I find her really special and different from the generic pop but I also am tired at people trying to find reasons to shadeXtina and to remind that she copies someone just because it is a trend of the last 2 years by the media.

This.

So basically the video (from what we've seen) isn't copying Marina, but is still a cliché.

Wouldn't be surprised if she did. She has to get "inspiration" from somewhere and just hopes no one finds the sources.

I just realized this video was directed by Melina Matsoukas. No wonder.

Dark Matter

I'm friends with Melina, and can tell you this is just co-incidence. They have a very conventional on-the-run style that's been around in film since the early 70s. I suggest some of you get to grips with IMDb and Wikipedia.
