Why though? I honestly don't get that. Whether or not an artist thinks they were ripped off, the situation should still be examined by others to assess the validity of those claims. If artists were the only ones who decided these things they could go around claiming anyone similar enough had copied them, thus damaging other artists' brands and reputations.

Oh well. Gaga did it better.

Yes I think she did steal her image. But who cares tbh, she doesn't even release music and Gaga's smashing with GUY

At the end of the day. nobody is original and Kerli also took inspiration from various things probably for her image, so she basically is playing one of those "I actually did it first, but I never got the chance to show it" victim bs.

The G. U. Y. era does look like her image, that if she has any, but Gaga 's overall image has nothing to do with the other girl' s image like

Maybe because the artists are the one's that know they're work better than anyone else?

And besides this type of stuff isn't serious court issue material. Its just someone seeing that someone has overstepped the line with being inspired by their work(intentionally or not) and in most cases(like this one) they only do it when its happened on multiple occasions

Love Is Dead
Released: July 7, 2008

Utopia
Released: March 19, 2013

And she's working on more. Not everyone releases Rihanna-speed

Excuse me, yes. Kerli could have simply responded with CLASS and said "I've already stated my feelings on the situation, any other questions?" Kerli is bringing the drama so she can keep an extra minute or two of fame.

another day another person coming at gaga; can't wait for the pope to rip her next !

Kerli SERIOUSLY girl this drama is so 2008. If the ONLY thing Gaga had over you was fashion and look (and not her global hit songs, beautiful voice, iconic stageshows, touring prowess, unprecedented connection with her fans) then YOU would be in her position. But you're not.

I'm not saying that others know the claimant's work better and I don't get why that's a talking point here. I'm saying that they shouldn't be allowed to just go around claiming something without us being able to look at the situation and develop our own opinions - if, for example, Kerli says this without anyone being able to refute it just because she knows her work better, is that not damaging to the other artist? Is it not potentially unwarranted, if in fact no ripping off ever occurred? It's like Katy claiming that Ke$ha ripped her off or vice versa - in neither situation is such an accusation warranted because similarities can be explained in other ways. Would we allow those accusations to just fly with a "Welp, she said it and it's her work so it must be true?"
