Sit!Stay!Wait!Down! sounds really nice. Not her best songs but still listenable. :)

Namie is being accused of plagiarizing G-Dragon's song "Heartbreaker"... Heartbreaker hardly sounds like S!S!W!D!, where is this coming from?... :eh: And what's funny is that G-Dragon was accused of plagiarizing Flo-Rida's song "Right Round", so wouldn't it be like Namie copying Flo-Rida?... :roflmao Stupid netizens... :trolleyes

Amura Namie Accused Of Plagiarizing G-Dragon
2011-11-09

Top Japanese celebrity Amuro Namie (age 34) is being accused to plagiarizing a song by Big Bang's leader G-Dragon (age 23).

According to Japanese media sources on November 9th, "There are suspicions of Amuro Namie's new song "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!", set for a December 7th release, having been plagiarized off of G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" song. Two years ago, G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" was also accused of plagiarizing a song by US hip hop artist Florida."

This isn't the first time Namie faces such charges. She had a similar case pop up over her song "Black Diamond", when it was linked with being familiar to Janet Jackson's "Feedback".

Critical netizens have been taking to the net: "Another one copied?", "The melodies are almost identical", "We're both Japanese, but I can't deny and protect her", "Why copy k-pop out of all things?". On the other end, some are supporting the singer: "Totally different", "A bit of a stretch to say it's plagiarized".

Namie's reps have yet to release an official statement.

Yeaaahhhh all three have that similar melody. More so these two.

I don't think it's a big deal though. That's not saying anyone necessarily plagiarized anyone though.

Oh yeah, surely they all sound the same and then I'm deaf for not hearing it lol XD

No, seriously. I hear no similarities. :D

I hear similarity in melody.

I hear no similarities ._.

Me too, but not to the extent the article would make you believe.

Yeah, I honestly probably wouldn't even have caught it if the article hadn't told me.

Similitaries in the background mix are noticeable, but why such a big deal? Plagiaritzed or not, Nami-version is better : P

Don't most pop songs sound the same anyway? :laugh

New thread here :) I used the amazing first post Maemi made from this thread.
