Rhianna - A Biter?

Recently we read that former Moloko singer Roisin Murphy accused Lady Gaga for stealing her style (I agreed, you see my comment below over at Blouge).
Fefe Dobston is the rock chick from Canada whoose style is said to be baited by no other than.... Rhianna (or I should say the people around her) and - no doubt doubt we both see and hear the similarities... And it doesn't look like a co-incident when you know Fefe's just dropped out of the same record company; Island Def Jam (was signed 2003!). It make sense, how much better doesn't the look fit a real rocker....
Read about her in Honey Mag
"That’s my point. The image thing — to go so extreme, from dancehall reggae queen girl to cool, punky, rocker-chick. People say Rihanna bit your style.
I mean, for sure I question that, but who wouldn’t. She is supposedly a fan of mine. I try to take it as a compliment. It gets a little much when she starts getting the same tattoos as me but overall I just want people to separate the image and listen to the music. It’s about the music. Its like Prince and Michael Jackson, totally different artists. Or its like Kanye West and Jay-Z. So what? They are both black men, they sound different. So they both wear jeans, they are different. And why would you want the same type of artist? "

So what do you readers think?
im from canada and i've heard of fefe for at least 3-4 yrs now and she's always been a rocker kinda chick, so i dunno about her biting rihanna's style
Nooo the opposite; Rhianna biting here clothing style!
oh, thats where i made of mistake of not even reading the article lol
i just automatically assumed the opposite was being said about fefe
ah well
So, what do you think about the whole deal?
i dont actually look at these celebrities are real people haha
it's the stylists who organize their whole look. who's rihanna's stylist? thats what i want to know.
i remember a few years back when nicole ritchie was a few pounds heavier and dressed like a slutty slob but then a stylist got a hold of her(zoe..something?) and changed her image around and now nicole is seen as a very stylish person who everyone looks up to.
Of course it's Mariel Haenns work, Im just curious if Fefe been lookin like this since day 1, the stule suits here music way better
