We all know Shinee's new hit Juliette. The song sounds extremely familiar, right? For those who haven't heard...

[discs.livejournal.com]

lmfao. sm bought the copyrights, and it's written everywhere that juliette is a remake of deal with it.

[ex-decenniu.livejournal.com]

corbin bleu's hair has a mind of its own

[onewsouffle.livejournal.com]

This isn't plagiarism, they lincensed the song. =/
I belive they even posted about it already over at the SHINee community.

[epona.livejournal.com]

old news, sorry

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

is that the kid from high school musical?

[nezumi-kenka.livejournal.com]

It actually owns the copyright to this song.

[bowling1991.livejournal.com]

yes, he is. :D

[nezumi-kenka.livejournal.com]

Bit late Steph =/

[bowling1991.livejournal.com]

It's not plagiarism. They bought the rights to the song, clearly SM would know they would get in trouble if they don't. It's a remake. :D

Like everyone says, legal. Oh, and Jonghyun wrote the lyrics - it's only one of the reasons why to me, Juliette >>>>>>> Deal With It.

SO OLD.

One of the mods must not be very into SHINee as this post got approved.

[lennoxs.livejournal.com]

omg lol.

stop commenting the same stuff over and over.

[ohbangladesh.livejournal.com]

Ok how many times are people gonna write the same comment? I think we all get it now; the poster honestly didn't know. Since almost 15 people said it's old; I think it's understood that it was old when the first two people said it.

[calltheshots.livejournal.com]

lol

IKR

[sup-homeskillet.livejournal.com]

yeah, if I remember correctly, it was brought up numerous times in the post where the song first came out. idk if the corbin bleu factor had its own post, though.

[smilingsounds.livejournal.com]

i love corbin bleu man, he needs to come back

[silenciodudette.livejournal.com]

but you gotta deal with it

[law-oneofmany.livejournal.com]

honestly i didnt know about it either...

anyway

for it to be released legitimately, they would have no choice but to get the rights, or shinee would have probably been sued by now...

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

Seeing as SHINee didn't write the music or the lyrics, I would not accuse them of plagiarizing anything.

It's just like with "Mirotic" and "Sorry, Sorry": SM is cheap as hell and would rather recycle.

That was me!

I'm aware this has been brought up in Shinee posts before. I discussed it with another mod, and we decided that since it wasn't posted separately that it was fine.

Also, since some members may have not checked all the comments from older SHINee posts, they may like to discuss this.

[changmim.livejournal.com]

Guys, please cut the poster some slack.

I approved this for reasons stated above, so if you have problems with it, please talk to me about it instead.

I would much prefer users posting than not posting at all.

Also, as you can see- some members have not read about this. If this is old news to you, then please, just scroll past the post rather than ripping into a first time poster.

Thanks bbs!
