A plethora of criticism and observations emerged from discerning viewers.
They drew attention to what they perceived as an instance of artistic appropriation on Aima Baig’s part.
They alleged that her music video heavily borrowed style elements from Billie Eilish.
Audiences felt like they were taken back to the 1990s after watching Aima Baig’s music video.
One observation viewers made was Aima’s extravagant hairstyle.
It was a sleek, impeccably styled high ponytail. It was a visual echo that bore an undeniable resemblance to the distinctive look famously showcased by Billie Eilish.
This was in her music video for her hit track ‘What Was I Made For?’.
A user questioned: “Now she is copying Billie Eilish?”
Another added: “She copied Ariana Grande’s looks and Billie Eilish’s concept.”
Hitting out at the music video, one said:
“She hyped it up all this time and this is what we get? A very low-quality song. This isn’t Pakistani music at all.
“She is just copying everything from Hollywood.”
Another criticised: “And she has the audacity to accuse Nehaal for copying her? Aima does not even have her own style and personality.”
