Did FNC plagiarise for AOA Jimin's comeback?

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

so Jimin just released this teaser for her upcoming comeback featuring Xiumin. The first time I heard it, I thought it was straight up Girls Aloud's The Promise and couldn't unhear it. However, I asked my friends if they were hearing the same thing as me and they agreed. One of them even said that it's similar to Mutya Buena's Real Girl. Now I think that it's a weird version of the two but I definitely hear GA more (especially after 0:22 seconds). Here are the two videos so you can make your own judgement!

Girls Aloud - The Promise

The instrumental

Mutya Buena's Real Girl

source: my ears, AOA (에이오에이) youtube, GirlsAloudVEVO, GirlsAloud youtube, Yny Espiritu youtube,

what's your verdict? is it like iu's kind of plagiarism or more like mamamoo's which is totally buried?
share your thoughts!

OP, Did she claim to write the musical arraignment for her song? Because if not this is on FNC instead. I adore you OP but keep it cute!

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

idk i never saw anything that listed who participated in it but i changed the title!

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

hey... I hear the similarities but I don't think it's enough to be plagiarism, I need the full song to judge




XD @ OP's note, I was so sure you'd be all over that
I'm glad cause it means the girls are "relevant" enough to have antis, keep them coming

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Gotta love some girls aloud though, I got my soundtrack for tomorrow \o/

[soshioppa.livejournal.com]

At some point I hope people will realize that similar does not equal same. It hat to be exactly the same for a significant amount of the song for it to be plagiarism.

Isnt this post a bit premature? Its too early to judge from a teaser snippet .
I cam hear some similarity with real gurl but nah to the promise

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

no

[forsureyoudo.livejournal.com]

yep i hear it

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

im just trying to revive omona!

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

it's been a bit slow yeah? maybe because no one big is around?
But march should be busy with SM battle

[luvikakulubnika.livejournal.com]

The song isn't even out yet lol

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

this sounds more like it was heavily ~inspired~ by Mutya's song rather than plagiarized, similar to fiestar's One More/Jamelia's Superstar

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

one more is so obvious it makes me literally LOL tbh

[donutism.livejournal.com]

I don't hear it, but maybe once i hear the full song

[kwikimart.livejournal.com]

it really DOES sound like mutya's song!
uhhhh i hope this causes the song to be cancelled, not because of xiumin, i like that dude but jimin's voice....ugh

the only song of hers i can listen to is that misguided 'Puss' song and that's only for Iron (rip)

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

i remember when you were still new to kpop/omona and found out about iron and made those long comments with his pics/videos
this was me

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

maybe it's in the same vein but i don't hear it. but i'm about to go on a girls aloud binge so many memories

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

I hear the similarity but it's hard to judge from only a teaser and the songs will have to be identical for more than 5 secs for it to be plagiarism so meh

#SaveXiumin from cute concepts

[frankoceans.livejournal.com]

omg op....

i love that song from girls aloud

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

more like they copied jimin in advance 😒

[fayfayren.livejournal.com]

what did mamamoo plagiarize? i've been so out of the kpop game.

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

It sounds like something I already heard a thousand times, like really common.
But I like this post because includes Mutya Buena's song.

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

mamamoo's buried plagiarism?

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I WAS about to say OP is disappointing me as ~Omona's token Mamamoo-anti~

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

Mutya Buena's Real Girl was great... where did she disappear?

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

The original Sugababes got back together as 'Mutya Keisha Siobhan'. The last thing that I remember about them is that they were trying to get the "Sugababes" name again.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

LOL that Mutya Buena song samples Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"
I know what I'm listening to at the gym tonight~

I think it's too early to say plagiarism, as the song hasn't come out yet, but it does sound a bit like Girls Aloud :o

[citypolaroids.livejournal.com]

if we're going on a witch hunt over a teaser, then someone need to make a post about mamamoo (http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2016/02/pann-mamamoos-songs-suspected-of.html), theirs is way more obvious tbh

[frankoceans.livejournal.com]

this is so blatant and terrible

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

The real plagiarism is that The Promise sounds like the Blankety Blank theme song.
Look it up, seriously

[moomoo-moonstar.livejournal.com]

That's almost as bad as that time McFly (allegedly) plagarised the theme from Gummi Bears

[krunkri.livejournal.com]

a+ choice in gif, op

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

omg the promise haven't listened to that song in years

op make a mamamoo post!

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

also i support you and these posts bc im a messy bitch who lives for drama

[konichiwacobra.livejournal.com]

I gotta hear the whole thing of course, but don't come for my queens.

RIP Girls Aloud. It was good while it lasted.
