Gwen Stefani says Madonna influenced her music
Moldova.ORG -- Gwen Stefani insists there is no bad blood between her and Madonna and freely admits she has used the pop superstar as a role model throughout her career, claims the star in an interview to Elle magazine.
Gwen Stefani admits the two have much in common, including Italian-American heritage and British husbands.
She tells Elle magazine, "It is weird that we have all of these similarities. Madonna's had us over for dinner and stuff, and she's always been very nice to me."
She adds, "I remember telling Madonna I was going to do an '80s dance record and she rolled her eyes, because I think when 
you've lived through it like she did, she's like, 'Whatever.' But a lot of my influence came from her early work, like directly, like a Xerox."
Gwen Stefani admits the singer seemed less-than-impressed when she first mentioned she was recording a solo album featuring dance tunes.
