Goldfrapp: big trap
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver November 7th, 2005
Alison Goldfrapp, currently at number nine in the singles chart with 'Number 1', has badmouthed Madonna, being the difficult target she is and all.

Alison (pictured) said that Madonna simply steals from her contemporaries rather than seeking any originality of her own. This comes after Lauren Laverne's CD:UK interview with Madge where the ex-Kenickie lady said that folks like us - music writers - reckon Alison's got a lot in common with the Material Girl. Well, they both sing and pack jumper bunnies...

Anyway, Ms 'Frapp said:
"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."

Yeah yeah, 'Number 1' is shit, so nerrr.
