I get that she is grappling with identity and it's not a clear cut case, but if the precedent is set that similar voices (and I didn't even think it was that similar in this case) are infringement, that would be a pretty big blow to commercial creativity projects.
Maybe it's more a brand problem than an infringement problem.
That reminded me of Ice Ice Baby and the rip-off of Queen's Under Pressure bass riff. Queen won i think.
I don't think this is the same thing though. They asked her, she said so, they went for her cute cousin instead... typical.
