It's a plagiarism scandal yet again!!

Both songs have different writers yet the chorus...well, I'll let you all decide.

Was it "inspiration," fandom or major coincidence?



As a refresher, here's T-ara's song. Start at the chorus, around 44 secs.

Then listen to Utada's chorus. The really similar part starts at 1:11, but whole chorus starts at :59.

When I heard Utada's song all I could think of was T-ara. BUT Utada's song was released almost a full year before T-ara's. Fishy ain't it. I don't think Wheesung's the type to steal, but they are awfully close. Had it been GDragon I wouldn't have thought twice about it being stolen tbqhrn.

wheesung wrote the song, he didn't compose it.

and honestly this music is too simple (in theory) to copyright. it's blasphemy to do so, imo.

no wonder I didn't realize this before. I deleted both of these tracks because they're so awful. The T-ara song was already compared to Britney's "If U Seek Amy" & "Womanizer". Copying isn't cool though, no matter how crappy "Poppin'" is. Production teams should be more attentive to stuff like this but also... I wish both songs just had never existed in the first place.

It's similar but the songs are pretty generic.I think GCBOY is a Womanizer rip-off.

Isn't this like 2 years too late? Also they already had the whole If you Seek Amy controversy. This is stretching it a bit tbh as I don't hear anything. What's next that I'm really hurt sounds like a Nintendo game?

Sounds more like a Britney Spears song than that Utada song to be honest.

Yeah that's all I was talking about too. I only listened to the chorus parts.

...Poppin is such a basic song, it's not worth getting upset over....=_=
Now if it was like Passion or something...

Took long enough for anyone to bring it up if this is the news just appearing about it...

There are some similarities but god I just want to cringe listening to Utada's song. God her stuff has been stinking lately.

Poppin' is one of the weaker tracks, but the album is 3 years old...I wouldn't call it lately. She actually hasn't released much new material recently. Have you heard "Show Me Love [Not a Dream]"?

Then you havent heard the Single Collection CD. It had 5 new songs and all of them were masterpieces.
