In an interview with The Lipster, the Goldfrapp singer criticised the music industry for manufacturing female singers to sound like Winehouse.
She said: "It's breeding what will be the next big thing. Great, we've had Amy Winehouse, so now let's have ten of them, and we'll train them up. That's essentially what Duffy is. I think she's got an amazing voice but essentially she's been trained to sound and be like that.
"It wasn't some crazy idea she had. It was a business plan. Ultimately, if you're talented then it doesn't really matter, but I suppose what it does is breed, whereas it would be nice to have a few runts around."
Golfrapp also expressed her admiration for Kate Bush and 18-year-old folk singer Laura Marling, saying: "Neither of them went to Brit School. Maybe it's a f***ing good thing they didn't! God knows what they'd be doing."
