14 DAY TRIAL // Adam Lambert is usually not the type to take tabloid claims at face value, especially since so much has been written about him already. Still, one story in InTouch did get him hot under the collar – and very talkative on Twitter.
One of the latest issue of the magazine claims Willow Smith, Will Smith’s daughter, who’s already proving she’s a fierce fashionista in the making, is copying Adam’s style.
This, added to the rumor that Adam is in fact copying Bill Kaulitz of Tokyo Hotel, got Adam unusually combative on Twitter – but not less eloquent for it, with the singer using very solid arguments for his case.
As he sees it, there can’t be any originality in this day and age, though there are public figures (artists and entertainers, in particular) who may seem so at first sight.
The truth is, the singer explain, everyone is influenced by someone before them, which means that, to a certain extent, everyone is “copying” others’ style.
Of course, focusing only on this would mean showing disrespect both for the one doing the “copying” and for those who influenced them, which is something the media often does, Adam underlines.
“Willow’s a little bad[expletive] lady but I don’t think we have much in common! Lol. C’mon InTouch! This is a stretch,” Adam tweets, right after posting a link to the magazine story.
“Didn’t you hear? I’m copying Bill Kaulitz. So... In a round about way, so is she. Right? And he’s copying Rihanna. In truth ladies and gentlemen... No one is copying anyone,” the singer adds.
“Following trends is a stylist’s job and part of ours is to appear fashionable. Leave the copy cat bull to the school playground,” Lambert adds.
“For example: the Xtina / (Lady) GaGa Conspiracy? Lets look just look at Madonna. Seems they were BOTH inspired by her. And she borrowed a page from Marilyn (Monroe),” he says.
Of course, that’s not stopping him from admiring all of them for their merits as artists, and it shouldn’t be an obstacle for the media and fans either.
Even Willow has a special place in Adam’s heart, as the singer himself points out, by directly addressing her to tell her she’s “fierce,” an attribute often attached to any description of Adam’s unique style.
“(Amongst others) it’s the Post Modern age – everything’s been done. Pop stars acknowledging something and editorializing on it is an art,” the singer adds.
