Disney Latin American show “Violetta” plagiarizes Super Junior’s “Sorry Sorry”?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

The Disney Latin American show “Violetta” is receiving a lot of attention for one of it’s musical segments.

The main chords of a song performed by Jorge Blanco (León) through “Violetta” earlier in the month sounds eerily familiar to the chorus of Super Junior‘s 2009 hit single, “Sorry Sorry“. The segment in question was uploaded through Disney Latino América’s official YouTube channel and has already received over 250,000 views. Many people have left comments in Spanish stating how the song is copying “Sorry Sorry”.

You can check out both songs below and make your own judgement.

It's close, but it's not a straight rip

[burger.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of Crash Bandicoot level music more than Sorry Sorry tbh lol. I've heard worse!

Maybe Super Junior has the Asian rights to the song? Sure isn't there like english versions of Hot Summer, Pinocchio, Genie, Baby Steps, etc. Could be possible..

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

Unlike those songs Sorry Sorry is a SMent in-house production, not a foreign purchase.

[sashapoly1911.livejournal.com]

Ahhh ok that makes sense then, I wasn't aware!

[samunin.livejournal.com]

It feels like it's only coincidence. Pop song all follow the same formula so..

[burger.livejournal.com]

OH the guy sounds a lot like Jesse McCartney tho Disney really must have a factory

(I like it though)

[tophbei.livejournal.com]

Maybe they bought the song, but most of the fans have air in their heads when it's about "plagiarism".

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

mhmm

[tophbei.livejournal.com]

What?

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

i was agreeing with you

[tophbei.livejournal.com]

Uh, okay, sorry sorry then xDD

[sashapoly1911.livejournal.com]

mte

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

they sound similar in one or two areas but nowhere near each other in sound overall

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

they are reaching.

Like this is the first time/last time those chords will be used.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

it ain't there.

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

Obligatory turnabout is fair play comment.

It is pretty much a copycat for the beat of the music...

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmmm. Some parts but not overall.

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

Wasn't Sorry Sorry accused of being a copy of something else when it first came out?

[kyuuhyun.livejournal.com]

yes, womanizer by britney spears :/

[trancexperiment.livejournal.com]

Sorry Sorry is miles ahead of Womanizer lbr

[fancifury.livejournal.com]

not as blatant as THIEVES' DAY stealing melodies from t-ara's BYE BYE in their flop single "plagiarize me once"

write an article about THAT allkpop

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

The beginning kinda sounds like it, but the rest. nah

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

It's similar but it could just be a coincidence.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Reaching. They don't really sound that much alike.

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

eh, sort of i guess.

[spangleayee.livejournal.com]

It makes me think of Pokemon for some reason. idek why.

& yeah, kind of similar but most likely by coincidence..

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

reaching. those chords have been used before. the lyrics aren't comparable either.

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

the beginning 5 sec sound similar but it's a popular beat in songs so.....

[prismboy.livejournal.com]

It could just be the stock samples. Producers use the same stock samples all the time.

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

One second that sounds similar but yeah I don't think so.

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

In the beginning I thought I heard a slight similarity, but after 10 seconds the feeling was gone. Calling that plagiarism is beyond reaching.

[mochijang.livejournal.com]

The singer's voice reminds me of Donghae's.

[mayshy.livejournal.com]

wow, when I read this I realized that as well 0.0

[runandtelldat.livejournal.com]

Sounds like generic 90s pop music, but I get where they're coming from.

[katiewenchh.livejournal.com]

jammin' to this tbqh

[exo-cath.livejournal.com]

lmao same

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

+1

[booboobooboo99.livejournal.com]

Not really that similar. I mean, I see what they mean but wow, this beat sounds more like it was made with one of those shitty early 80's synthesizers. Like, really, it sounds terrible. The song ain't all bad though.

[10135.livejournal.com]

The beat is a little the same, but it sounds more like a coincidence. Either way, jammin' to it. LOL.

[cettefemme90.livejournal.com]

I was waiting for the point where it sounded like Sorry Sorry and it never got to it :P it sounds a little similar, sure, but so do many pop songs. I don't think it's a rip-off at all, to be honest.

[asiapopsecret.livejournal.com]

The melody of the lyrics sounds nothing like Sorry Sorry, and aside from the beginning, I see no similarity.

REMEMBER THIS

[kyuhyunss.livejournal.com]

I know it's on the sort-of scale, but it's just on the same level as the Brazilian 2NE1 so quite possibly.
