Mariah Carey was in Korea this week, and it was revealed that she was informed of what YG had to say about the plagiarism controversy. Regarding the accusation againstBig Bang and 2NE1, YG has said:
“…A few days ago, Mariah Carey’s new song, “Standing O”’, had its teaser released on YouTube. Comparing this song to “In the Club”, you get 8 bars of similar parts not just 2. It’s not just 5 seconds that are similar, but 24; and when you account for the repetition of the major theme, it’s almost an entire minute of similarity. What is Sony ATV’s opinion towards this song? I don’t know, but I can assure that you can’t easily say that Mariah Carey has plagiarized 2NE1’s song that was released 3 months ago, although it contains longer and clearer motives from “In the Club”.”
A member of team that promoted Mariah’s visit to Korea said, “The controversy was explained in detail to Mariah by her management.” The explanation included accusations against G-Dragon, the trouble between YG and Sony ATV, and YG’s official statement including the part where he mentioned Mariah’s new song. After receiving this information, Mariah answered, “Too complicated,” and made a dumbfounded smile, according to the member.
Mariah left Korea on 15th for Japan.

Date: 2009-10-17 11:58 am (UTC)What did they expect her to say?
That's a real weird question to ask. Can you imagine how long it took for them to translate all of the drama to her?!

Person Explaining:Well basically Mariah, Flo Rida, who is under Sony, released Right Round which itself samples a shit '80's song which was then redone even MORE shitly by the epitome of plastic surgery gone wrong, Pete Burns. G-Dragon, an artist under YG Ent. released samples of several of his songs a few months ago, prior to the release of his first debut album. This caused much scandal by the BEEPING NETIZENS as three of his songs sounded like or sampled other songs; most controversially the song 'Heartbreaker', the opening sequence of which sounded a lot like the rap sequence in 'Right Round'. After several months of no comment, SONY ATV FINALLY decided to state that it was plagiarism, but by that time G-Dragon had already begun promoting his next song so nobody really gave a shit. A few months before THAT, rookie group of YG Ent., 2NE1 released their mini album which has on it the song In The Club which apparently sounds a lot like Standing O and now the BEEPING NETIZENS are stirring again for God only knows what reason. What is your opinion on this?
Mariah: Too complicated.
