This thread reminds me why I rarely post or bother to read the threads in these forums (except for the news). Same childish bickering over "copying" and "natural beauty".
I still can't believe people actually think that there is such a thing as "original" art, music, fashion, whatever. Without something to come from, to copy from, art, music, and fashion wouldn't exist now. I still can't believe people think that Madonna herself does not "copy". She has lost copyright lawsuits!
And whatever in the heavens' name is natural beauty anyway? Give me someone who doesn't use toothpaste, cut hair, trim fingernails and toenails, wear clothes, use earbuds, and only cleans himself or herself with water but still manages to look beautiful and I'll call that person a "natural beauty".
If the Egyptians were already using a lot of makeup millenia ago, then why not Ayu?
Never mind the makeup, the photoshop (again, why is it demonized? Old Hollywood photographers relied on tricks too to make old movie stars look inhumanly beautiful). For me, if a person isn't born beautiful to begin with, then any amount of photoshop, cosmetic surgery, and makeup cannot make that person beautiful.
Ayu looks gorgeous. Sifow has bad music. Koda Kumi is not pretty. Hikki is overrated. The new Namie single is terrible. Not enough people know Nanase Aikawa. Ringo Shiina is a genius. Copying is a normal human activity. I feel it and I know it. That's all I need and need to know.
Anyone who wants me to quantify all the above claims with a long and thoughtful discussion can email me at my second email. I rarely read responses and threads here.

If you still want to compare,
then, Madonna copies image of Marilyn Monroe's image, Farah Fawcett's hairstyle(70's artiste), Madonna also copied Ayu in her concert 2006/2007, where she appeared with a round-like-ball (just like Ayu in her 2001 Live), Britney copies Ayumi Hamasaki in her Toxic video, Namie Amuro copies Ayumi Hamasaki in her video Wishing For the same star(the diamonds on the body-Kanariya PV), Ayu copies Christina Aguilera's image in Ourselves PV....
this issue will never stop as we will tend to find more similarities if we compare artistes' cover singles/albums, fashion, style or what ever it is...so let us not to discuss over this issue anymore.

Finally, someone who is actually RATIONAL.
Reality itself is already a copy.
