Editing Paulina Rubio (section)

==Artistry==
===Influences===
Rubio has stated that she initially became interested in entertainment during her childhood, naturally influenced by the career of her mother, Mexican actress [[Susana Dosamantes]]. She explained "I have been famous since I was born", rather than becoming famous after she joined Timbiriche.<ref>{{cite web |title=Paulina Rubio, la chica dorada cumple 46 años |url=https://www.notimerica.com/cultura/noticia-paulina-rubio-chica-dorada-cumple-46-anos-20170617071446.html |website=notimerica.com |date=17 June 2017 |publisher=Notimérica |access-date=14 July 2020 |archive-date=16 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200716200457/https://www.notimerica.com/cultura/noticia-paulina-rubio-chica-dorada-cumple-46-anos-20170617071446.html |url-status=live }}</ref> She has also commented that, when watching interviews as a child, she always noted how put-together and visually stunning her mother was. Rubio said that she "sang in front of the mirror", in her youth, to songs by [[Daniela Romo]], [[Camilo Sesto]], [[Juan Gabriel]], [[José José]], [[Mecano]] and [[Miguel Bosé]]. In a televised special for [[Univision]], Rubio said that her first connection to music was through [[The Beatles]], and that her first taste of the world of [[Rock and roll|rock 'n roll]] music was from the English band [[Queen (band)|Queen]], when they first performed in México in 1981–a concert Rubio attended with her father in [[Puebla (city)|Puebla]]. "To see [[Freddie Mercury]] go out [on stage] with his sequin capes ... I dreamed of going out like him and doing that performance."<ref>{{cite web |title=Paulina Rubio habló en InStudio de los tres discos más importantes en su carrera (video) |url=https://www.univision.com/shows/musica/paulina-rubio-hablo-en-instudio-de-los-tres-discos-mas-importantes-en-su-carrera |website=univision.com |publisher=Univision |access-date=14 July 2020 |archive-date=17 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200717063402/https://www.univision.com/shows/musica/paulina-rubio-hablo-en-instudio-de-los-tres-discos-mas-importantes-en-su-carrera |url-status=live }}</ref> 

The [[Mass media in the United States|American media]] has cited [[Madonna]]'s career as being a comparable to Rubio's, mainly for her image, her character and highly detailed concerts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Paulina Rubio quiere ser como Madonna |date=27 August 2012 |url=https://www.abc.es/estilo/gente/abci-paulina-rubio-madonna-201208270000_noticia.html? |publisher=ABC |access-date=18 January 2021 }}</ref> ''[[Music & Media]]'' magazine stated that "Rubio is in fact a latin replica of Madonna, complete with a picaresque face, blond hair, cowboy hat, and mini -skirt that is in fact a wide belt-indeed."<ref name="cyclone">{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-and-Media/00s/2001/MM-2001-04-21.pdf|title=Hats off to Latin music boom|magazine=[[Music & Media]]|volume=18|issue=17|page=7|date=April 21, 2001|access-date=March 31, 2022}}</ref> In an interview with ''[[ABC (Spain)|ABC]]'' newspaper, she said, "I am from Mexico and the hat is an element that is part of my culture.

Luca Villa, from ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, clarified the comparisons, noting that "Like America's Madonna, she has reinvented herself with every new release."<ref name="RS-Boss" />

Rubio has also been inspired-by and compared to [[Marilyn Monroe]] throughout her career. She received negative comments when she posted a picture on Instagram recreating the same look from Monroe's classic movie ''[[Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953 film)|Gentlemen Prefer Blondes]]'' (1953); previously, Madonna had recreated the same look in the music video for her single "[[Material Girl]]" (1984).<ref>{{cite web |title=Paulina Rubio se compara con Madonna y Marilyn Monroe |url=https://www.veintitantos.com/noticias-famosos/foto-paulina-rubio-se-compara-con-madonna-y-marilyn-monroe-y-los-fans-la-destruyen |website=veintitantos.com |access-date=12 August 2020 |archive-date=20 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200920232254/https://www.veintitantos.com/noticias-famosos/foto-paulina-rubio-se-compara-con-madonna-y-marilyn-monroe-y-los-fans-la-destruyen |url-status=dead }}</ref> In a review of Rubio's 2004 show at the [[Auditorio Nacional (Mexico)|Auditorio Nacional]] in Mexico City, during the Pau-Latina World Tour, Spanish journalist [[Jesús Quintero]] suggested that, like Madonna, Rubio overflows with sensuality on stage "always in ''[[ménage à trois]]''."<ref>{{cite web |title=Paulina Rubio: A falta de Madonna, Pau |url=http://www.bitacoradelauditorio.com/2004/10/paulina-rubio-falta-de-madonna-pau.html |website=bitacoradelauditorio |publisher=Bitácora del Auditorio Nacional |access-date=12 August 2020 |archive-date=12 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200712210822/http://www.bitacoradelauditorio.com/2004/10/paulina-rubio-falta-de-madonna-pau.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Rubio has described her music as "fun" and "lovely". Through her songs, she involves themes of everyday life and feminist hymns, but always inspired by love. She told ¡Hola!: "In my music you can find spite, nostalgia, joy, euphoria, but always inspired by love, the only feeling that makes me live, breathe."<ref name=Hola-PR/> She has also stated that although the lyrics of her songs "are simple", she tries to offer a bit of poetry.<ref>{{cite web |title=Paulina Rubio: Mi música es simple pero es poesía |date=7 July 2009 |url=https://www.eluniverso.com/2009/07/07/1/1379/paulina-rubio-musica-simple-poesia.html/ |publisher=El Universo |access-date=4 October 2021 |language=Spanish |archive-date=4 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004192446/https://www.eluniverso.com/2009/07/07/1/1379/paulina-rubio-musica-simple-poesia.html/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Mexican writer Zeth Arellano considers that both Rubio's music and lyricism "encompasses all the extremes of emotions".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Maristain |first1=Mónica |title=Zeth Arellano, una de las participantes de la voz coral que retrata a Paulina Rubio |date=30 November 2021 |url=https://monicamaristain.com/zeth-arellano-una-de-las-participantes-de-la-voz-coral-que-retrata-a-paulina-rubio/ |access-date=15 February 2022 |language=Spanish |archive-date=15 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220215201140/https://monicamaristain.com/zeth-arellano-una-de-las-participantes-de-la-voz-coral-que-retrata-a-paulina-rubio/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
