Goldfrapp criticises Madonna, sort of

Alison Goldfrapp says Madonna borrows ideas from contemporaries, and that she is always taking up the latest DJ or trend.

The lovely Alison Goldfrapp has had a bit of a go at Madonna, basically saying that Madonna's stuff is not really original, and that she steals ideas from her contemporaries. It's a bit of a no-brainer, really, as anyone with any sense knows that Madonna's genius always has been her ability to derive a career from deriving stuff from other people's careers.

Anyway, Alison says, "She's always got her eye on what everyone's doing and she's always nabbing people, the latest DJ or whatever, to get them to put their thing on her thing, you know. I think it's quite clever, but I don't know if that's creative."
