• Hmmmm or is the issue more one of sour grapes?

• What a freakin LIAR! How can Madonna have been copying these former pop Gods if they are just that...former. While AWESOME in the 80’s and a bit in the 90’’s, Duran Duran has been out of the limelight for many more years!!!! Get over it already. You can’’t stop her....don’’t even try it!!!!

  • the fact is duran were working with them first and madonna copied

  • the best is to know what is going on. Duran never left the music scene and they’re still playing gigs. Last one in Louvre on the 10th June...

• Duran duran are not just an eighties band they did many excellent albums in the 90s and recently but they ve just been despised by critics for no reason!!!! it is actually possible the madonna has copied duran duran ideas above all i find that the certain songs of her album are very similar to the ones of Red Carpet Massacre...

• There’s no issue: Duran Duran have been working with Timbaland and Timberlake months before Madonna thought about them, but at least they never pretended it was an exclusive idea. Hard Candy is okay, but RCM is better. Durans PLAYED, wrote and co-produced their album, and they are still really rocking the stage much hotter than the overpraised skirt. Limelight doesn’’t mean quality, or it was just me thinking that Mrs. Ciccone is too old to do such slow and embarass

• madonna has copied a lot of people. she is very unoriginal.

• Somebody’s jealous because he’’s had his arse kicked in by a girl :) Say what you like, she hasn’’t budged in over 25years so obviously she’’s doing something right. The woman’’s a Queen.

• But the fact is that , madonna can go to the postion 1 after working with Timberlake and Timbaland , but Duran Duran cannot . Even madonna work with others in her new album , i think it will still go to postion 1 . Because she is MADONNA !!!!!

• Was the Duran album the first one the Tims worked on? No. They copied a gazillion other pop acts.

• There is no question about Duran Duran being more talented and original than Madonna. It does sound out of character for them to make such a comment though. Was John Taylor’s quote taken out of context? I hope so.

• She never has original ideas, so not a surprise she’s done this as well. She’’s annoying.

  ~ by llh 6/12/2008

  

• I’ve heard both albums, and Red Carpet Massacre is better, hands down. I don’’t care who copied who, but in the end Duran made the better album. Sorry Madge!

• I like both Duran Duran and Madonna but this time I feel like,What a SHAME!!She knows how to show herself ,while DD does not ’sell’’ the coraboration...because they are doing what they want to do...they are so humble and honest for their music.I will support DD,absolutely!!

• I agree with JOHN The bass god TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!

  ~ by Me. 6/13/2008

  

• Cripes people, it’s clearly a deadpan joke on John’’s part. She is a singer, Duran are four guys in a band. Unless of course Simon was the first to wear a pointy bra onstage.

  • No. He only does that in private! LMAO!

    ~ by MissNovemberTuesday 6/15/2008

• While both are great artists, DD did it first. All others are copy cats.

  ~ by 80s baby 6/14/2008

  

• Madonna is a great marketing strategist... she knows how to use her name to sell, but that doesn’t make her musically talented... I have not seen her do the amount or extent of musical experimenting that Duran have done over the last 30 years.. Duran are far from has beens.. they continue to inspire other musicians around the world, which can’’t really be said about Madonna..

  ~ by DD Chicky 6/15/2008

  

• Who copied who is irrelevant. What really matters is that the collaboration gave Madonna a hit single and recored, whereas Duran Duran failed miserably. Those 80’s boys should just accept that they are no longer relevant. This is just jealous sour grapes on John Taylor’’s part.

• marios a douche. duran duran rock. enough said; it\'s truly undisputable.

  ~ by who cares!! 6/16/2008

  

• John Taylor does not really seem the type to accuse anyone of anything. I have to wonder about the editing of his words...

  ~ by Malcolmina 6/17/2008

  

• Duran Duran are WAY better.
