Washington
(ANI):
Duran
Duran
star
John
Taylor
has
hit
out
at
pop
queen
Madonna
for
copying
one
of
their
ideas.
Taylor
accused
Madge
of
having
copied
their
collaboration
with
Justin
Timberlake
and
super
producer
Timbaland
for
her
new
album.
Madonna
had
teamed
up
with
Timberlake
and
Timbaland
to
record
songs
for
her
new
album
Hard
Candy,
with
her
single
4
Minutes,
featuring
the
two,
having
become
a
chart
topper
across
the
world.
According
to
Taylor,
the
Evita
singer
had
stolen
the
idea
for
the
duet
from
the
1980s
rockers,
after
Duran
Duran
joined
Timberlake
and
Timbaland
in
the
studio
for
their
2007
album
Red
Carpet
Massacre.
Taylor,
who
also
founded
two
supergroups
Power
Station
and
Neurotic
Outsiders,
insisted
that
he
was
not
surprised
by
her
moves.
"It
wouldn't
be
the
first
time
Madonna's
copied
us.
She's
been
doing
it
for
years," Contactmusic
quoted
him
as
saying.
