Thursday, September 17, 2009

Check out some pics of Dutch recording artist Eva Simons arriving to an event in London on Thursday night (September 17th).
There is a lot of drama online saying she is a Rihanna/Lady Gaga rip-off. What do you think? Check out her video (which was released a month ago) for her newest single, “Silly Boy” and more photos below.

her song is cool, but she is definitely too much gaga
the dancer on that pic…that is so how gaga would dress her dancers like…
i dont think rihanna, even though her voice sounds a little like rihanna’s, cause riri is more that rockish stylish…

@Jimmy_Choo, Thanks for that 2007 sounded a bit funny to me too. I live in the UK and her face is on the weekly/monthly magazines regularly, and her song with Jay Z and Kanye went number 1 last week.

i youtubed her and she doesnt sound bad live with her acoustic version. she sounds really rock. like she should be in a rock band and its lead singer. her other songs that she said she wrote are terrible like this song.
she also said in interviews she doesnt mind the comparison to rihanna, keri hilson, or lady gaga because at least ppl arents saying she sounds like crap.
um eva, sounding like rihanna, lady gaga and keri hilson is CRAP!!!!
clearly she is not bright!

honestly, who isn’t inspired by someone else’s style?
if you wanna put in that way, lady gaga has ripped off madonna & ziggy stardust aka mr. david bowie….
i actually like the disco ball jumpsuit…not the song though. i’d have to check out her other stuff…

In Early 2007 Till Late 2008 It Was No Other “Weird” Pop-Stars Out There That Were Popular But Rihanna.
Gaga Became Popular In The Middle To Late 2008…And She Became Really Mainstream Earlier This Year…I Would Say Amber Rose But She Doesn’t Do Music, So The Only Area She Can Compete In Is Fashion.
But Basically She Really Jumpstarted (I Didn’t Say Create) This Whole Bad Girl, Fashion Icon Thing Up Again.
But Atleast Rih Gives Me Variaty…Amber Rose (bodysuits)
Lady Gaga (Avant-Garde, Extreme Couture, Sometimes Haute Couture)
Rihanna’s Personal Style Is A Mixture Of All Of That Plus She Gives Me Vintage, Hip-Hop, Rock, Rock Edgy, 80’s Retro, etc
I Mean Lady Gaga Said She Doesn’t Like Beautiful Clothing(or something along the lines of that). How Are You Supposedly Into Fashion, But You Limit Yourself To Only One Look?
That Gets Boring After Awhile…It Really Does…Fashion Is Also About Variety, You Should Be Able To Rock Anything, and Not Only Make It look Good But Appreciate It…Even If It Isn’t Necessarily Your Style.
Its Not Just All About “Taking Risks”, And “Shock Value”. If Thats All You Can Do Then You’re Really Not Into Fashion, You’re Into A “Look”.

mmh…for some reason I don’t immediately think of GaGa or Rihanna when I see this chick…they SHIT on her. it seems as if everyone wants to be edgy as of late, which is type annoying. like the video though. will she make it? don’t think so!

That techno sound is Uk-ish to begin with ..those who speak on rhianna gaga or whatever thats the sound of pop/techno which they all doing blk ones now to ok. AWAY FROM THAT, WHY WOULD YOU WEAR YR VIDEO LOOK ON THE STREET WOW people cant seperate their artistry on stage from who they are as a person. OK my point is now everyone is just screamin ‘notice me’. Everyone thinks their doing something different but really all doing the same thing. Kinda sad and everyone is in competition with what exactly, please rest yr ego just be you, if you like to ’show off ‘ then so be it but learn to do things in small doses and tastefully.

I’ve been listening to this song for a good few weeks and I think it’s great. There’s nothing wrong with a good fun pop song. I wish her the best of luck. Even though there is room for lots of people to shine only a few cone to the top, there’s still a hierarchy or group of leading artists of the moment. That’s just the way it is. Just think about all the female groups in the 90’s/early noughties and the most successful ones were probably The Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child and TLC.
BTW, I live in the UK and er yeah people are still checking for Rihanna. Probably even more so than before cos she’s in all the bloody mags. Didn’t ‘run this town’ go to number last week. Most people only know her part.

How is she trying to be Rihanna when Rihanna is not even Rihanna. This girl is from London where they dress like this all the time. Where Rihanna’s from they do not dress like this. Rihanna is not a rock star. She has no stage presence. She does not know how to perform. I go to rock concert. People do not just stand there @ rock concert. They are acting a fool. At a rihanna concert people just stand there or walk out after they can’t take anymore. I don’t understand why you Americans are trying to turn this Rihanna chick into a music icon by putting her name up there with the top musician.

@ 68Lmao! @99thank you! @105Thank you for that!
Please don’t mistake my passion and frustration about this subject for hating. I just really feel strongly about this subject. I feel like people nowadays, are more interested in the way artists look, than what they have to contribute as actual skilled musicians. My frustration with all of this is; WHERE ARE ALL OF THE REAL SINGERS, the real artist? I have been in the music industry for quite some time now, trying to get music published, and you would not believe how many 3rd and 4th party people are involved. Trying to buy the music I write to give it to “known” writers in the industry, just so they can pass it off as there own, and try and impress the likes of some non-talented gimmick like Rihanna, who has writers, producers and a huge budget handed to her on a silver platter. While other talented singers
(Tiffany Evans, Phafffatt, a.k.a Dandria youtube star) struggle to get their foot in the door. It amazes me the amount of denial that has surfaced in the recent years in the music industry. People like, Heidi Montag and Cassie should never have been able to infiltrate the music industry. How can we hold an artist to one high standard and expect the upmost of them (Beyonce) and the other, we lower the standard and say everything they do is “fire” (Rihanna)? One producer said to me, “it’s about the music” Well what about whose singing the music? Def Jam went to extreme measures to reinvent and reintroduce Rihanna to the world. The bad ass, image that she proclaims now progressed in a very short period of time, due to her spiked display and interest in high fashion. And as you all can see, that persona has a mind of its own, because she seems to believe that she had it all along. When really, she got an enormous upgrade. THAT IS NOT TALENT! That’s money, a better stylist, a better hairdresser, a bigger budget, an image consultant, better writers, producers, Public Relations agent, and manager. And although she wears it confidently. There is just one problem. SHE CANNOT SING. Or perform for that matter. Come on people, that’s not what music is all about! Check the archives if you still don’t get it. I know times have changed, beauty standards have changed, fashion’s changed, music is changing and so is pop culture. But, that is no excuse. We have got to start making better judgment calls and raising the bar higher. It starts with us. The consumers, the listeners, the bloggers, the fans. This is why the record industry is suffering. Because without us, they dont profit. 1 more thing!
To CL readers. This is bigger than Eva Simons, or Rihanna. This is about “YOU” all emblemizing, worshiping images of black people who you all feel deserve to be higher up or superior to us, because they’re lighter and prettier. Stop complaining. The new beauty standards of “lighter is better” “thinner is sexier” are malfunctioning in of itself. Because there is so much of the same thing that every time a new prototype comes along, it is condemned by both mainstream pop society and culture and society itself. Too much of the same things and no variety breeds over saturation. People complain that Beyonce is too available, but we are the very force behind her monstrous success. We created the monster. I witnessed as Beyonce reined supreme for six years straight until she became embedded in mainstream America as the new standard. So much so, that in comparison to other solo artist, she was deemed an all around standard. And just like that Beyonce makes up for the Mya’s, Ashanti etc. Until we are left with just her. Now she’s monopolized music, film and there are many publications and media outlets who swear by her as well(BET). Her celebrity has overshadowed everything, everyone and anything that is of substance. Solange. Poor Solange. So really it’s up to us. Granted she is talented, but she is NOT THE ONLY ONE. And she doesnt have to be.

.all lady gaga did was open doors for more wierdo musicians..i dont think her image or sound is a rip off…thats probably who she is as a person…and felt more secure about coming out in public with the likes of lady gaga and rihanna(anyone who can sing and dance better than rihanna is musically better than rihanna)…her image is not rihanna-like at all…if anything they prob just look alike facially…

All these so-called “artists” (MK-ULTRA puppets, sex slaves, or occult initiates) are going to be more and more demonic (as they come out of nowhere through Europe) until the end. This is obvious because a formula is in play. The music is not even an issue any more because the timbre of the surrounding sound overwhelms the vocals, so obviously the viewer is forced to concentrate on, and mimic, the poses and gestures of the “artist” (magician).

Rihanna not popular in London…. ok then why is her GGGB #65 on the Billboard ALbum chart over there? Like her or not Rihanna is big overseas… hell I would fashion a guess that she’s bigger over there than she is in the USA…. but whatevs…
As far as this chick and the comparisons between her, Gaga [who I really can't stand] and Rihanna… I guess if anyone steps outside the norm the comparisons begin…. I don’t see it but whatever… will say chick does not have enough swag to pull it off even if she wanted to.

Actually, the facts are Rihanna’s album is #92 on the UK official album chart, not #65. Way big difference there.
But in terms of popularity, Rihanna is old news. Seriously. Lady Gaga is more popular right now. Gaga is the most-downloaded artist in the UK, and also Poker Face is the most downloaded song since the download chart began five years ago.
Real facts here.

@ i love this game: how old r u? ur comments are always so dumb and immature. nd how hypocritical of u to constantly keep calling ppl ”asslickers” when u worship the ground rihanna walks on. just stfu
nd i see how rihanna stans are quick to accuse others of jacking her style when rihanna is the biggest copycat. u lot r such hypocrites

Can people stop going on like they speak for all of UK, like I said before Rihanna is in magazines regularly, she’s considered a fashion Icon. The whole Chris brown thing made every tabloid magazine and TV show in the UK, it wouldn’t be hard to find. She hasn’t been in the charts cuz she hasn’t released anything in a bit. I’m not a Rihanna fan, I just don’t like liars.

She’s hot and original! I mean come on, just because Rihanna has her hair cut in a mo-hawk doesn’t mean that that’s HER STYLE. She cuts her hair all of the time in so many many ways. So no, I don’t think that Eva S. is copying off of Rihanna, and definitely not Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga is to the EXTREME! In addition, some people say that Rihanna picked off of FeFe Dubson’s style…. So I guess in this industry your going to see a duplicate of someone’s style, but with a twist of their own taste; this is pertaining to any artist.

Yea she’s definitely a Rihanna/ Lady Gaga rip off…you could just see her manager saying it “Your going to be the next big thing, a mix between Rihanna and Lady Gaga” like its very obvious what she was going for and any1 who is denying it is clearly blind.

Like some have said before, you can’t compare ppl who you ASSUME are jocking to those who have bit styles already. Gaga is compared to Esthero and that other white chick who’s name I can’t think of right now while we all know Rih stole Fefe’s style and amped it up by biting Grace Jones. Ppl bite but since you hoes like fashion so damn much, isn’t it expected AND isn’t that the purpose? I’m sick of ppl asking about who’s biting who when they continue to support an industry that truly doesn’t believe in individuality while exploiting that dream to rip you off. It’s like “STFU!” already since you label whores live to bite.

Who the hell cares if Rihanna sold what and where, she’s not sharing her wealth. Ridiculous stans. Rihanna is NOT original. She was an ISLAND girl turned “pop”,”punk rock” princess by the hands of her label and STYLIST. I don’t like Gaga but she is indeed TALENTED, her style is also not original, so what’s the fuss over who “swagger jacked” who? This industry is all about JACKIN

Ok, I STAN HARD for Lady Gaga all around (and I stan for Rihanna, but only when it comes to fashion) because Gaga is like my mantra personified: freedom, individuality, and empowerment. I don’t see Rihanna when I look at Eva Simons. I don’t even see Gaga. Yes, Lady Gaga has some europop-like songs, but these two are different. I am so liking Eva Simons and I can tell this is her actual style, just like Gaga, she’s not being marketed to look this way (sorry Rihanna, but everyone knows your whole shtick was marketed for mass appeal).
She’s dutch, too, which is a plus. Not sure of her ethnicity, but it’s cool when you’re ambiguous like that (i’m guessing that’s why people are comparing her to Amber Rose). She’s adorable, and let’s be honest, homegirl has a sick body. So does her dancer in that pic where they’re holding hands. I vote for having more posts on Eva Simons, concrete loop. I love her song, I will mos def add it to my zune.
peace!

@ Tapiwe
practice what you preach! YOU dont speak for people in the UK either.
you keep getting mad when people say they dont see rihanna everywhere. arguing back and forth is not necessary. if people dont see her as much as you do, then so f*ck what. i dont see the need for you to keep commenting over and over again.
rihanna is a ‘fashion icon’ over here?! ok, now i know you’re LYING. ladies like pixie lott, posh, cheryl etc are the icons people talk about all the time so no need for the lies. you know for a fact half of what rihanna wears cant be worn here cause of the weather. her outfits dont suit the UK’s ever changing climate (i hate that, cause i always want to dress like her most times but the weather restricts my outfit choices lol) seriously, i like rihanna but people are acting like she’s all we talk about. and the whole CB thing was in February, it’s not something recent! she’s hardly been featured recently on anything (which i hate) but that’s the truth…..
*her stans should not start copying and pasting her UK achievements, i’m aware of them already kmt*

You should have read what I said properly before you responded to me. When I said Rihanna is considered a style icon I didn’t exclude anyone else and I wouldn’t call
two responses to someone that was clearly giving a one sided view arguing back and forth. I don’t take it that seriously. I also like how you know a lot about her style but you don’t see her anywhere.
