2NE1's Newest Plagiarism Controversy

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

So, apparently netizens are accusing YGE having plagiarized Lionel Richie feat. Akon - 'Just Go' in 2NE1's 'I Don't Care' song.

Sources: 1, 2, 3

[Poll #1426601]

Personally I don't really hear it at all, but then again I'm not professional musician, so maybe there are some similar arrangements or patterns in them regardless.

oh wow, just because two songs sound the same one is plagiarizing the other now. netizens, go take a poo!

[dinobyte.livejournal.com]

and LOL i don't even see similarities between the two.

[hero-jelly.livejournal.com]

I don't think it is plagiarized at all.
In the music industry these days, there will be songs that sound like one another. Netizens should just back off and mind their own business.

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

lol no. and who the fuck is listening to lionel richie regularly enough to make this comparison?

[nezumi-kenka.livejournal.com]

Netizens apparently.

[bambayahh.livejournal.com]

i seriously don't hear it at all :|

[roxas.livejournal.com]

Netizens, what are you guys on? I don't hear it at all. :/

[beautifiers.livejournal.com]

the netizens need to get either fucked or stoned so they'd stop bitching about every little thing.

[pickychu.livejournal.com]

I hear the similarities in the chorus, but that's really it.

where's the idc option?

[dinobyte.livejournal.com]

lol! i thought the 'i don't know' said 'i don't care' so i clicked.

[teukattack.livejournal.com]

most of the song is entirely different, but I hear some SLIGHT similarities in the chorus

stfu netizens

[teukchul.livejournal.com]

random..off topic..

I LOVE YOUR ICON

i don't think it's plagiarism at all, but i just realised that this is why "i don't care" sounded so familiar to me. they're definitely similar, but it's obviously not plagiarism.

[notlistening-xx.livejournal.com]

wait...netizens are listening to lionel richie? random.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

that's not surprising, really - western music like lionel ritchie is pretty popular over there

[coowkiemonster.livejournal.com]

WOW.
Netizens seriously should try and find something better to do with their time. :|

[bellaprincess9.livejournal.com]

They already do.

[sincronia.livejournal.com]

Best. Gif. EVER.

[sea-rebel91.livejournal.com]

NO! i hear absolutely no similarities. and im sure if Lionel Richie heard it he'd find no similarities either, rather he'd love it.

btw netizens please get a life.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

i can kind of hear the similarity...? if you maybe slow down 4minute's chorus? though honestly it's, like, not even that similar. korean netizens just like to jump the gun on plagiarism

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

4minute...? lol this is a 2NE1 song bb

[sincronia.livejournal.com]

I don't hear it. Maybe the underlying drumbeats, but eh, it's different still.

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

Honestly, the song reminds me more of Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls,"..just 'cuz it has that same kind of feel, you know? 8D

But yeah,..not plagiarism. lmao

[sassydork.livejournal.com]

I hear some similarity, but lol, I don't care e e e e e e~

[liu-zhoucheng.livejournal.com]

I hear the slight similarities but thats it...just slightly. Not enough to call it plagiarism.

[liu-zhoucheng.livejournal.com]

lol
I dont caaaaaaaaaaare ~~~

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

is this their new single? because it's not single material at all, even worse than fire.

[pinkkeyyy.livejournal.com]

i know.i'm trying to get into this song but i can't.
