Netizens strike again with plagiarism accusations

[thrift.livejournal.com]

They just had their their successful comeback stage on SBS Inkigayo yesterday performing the title song "I Hope" and "Marry Me", but there are already saying that FT Island’s track "Angel and Woodman" sounds way too similar to singer Jason Mraz’s "Live High".

Some are saying that the 2 songs’ acoustic guitar portion sounds the same.

Netizens need to get laid. :)

[czarny.livejournal.com]

Or at least buy more powerful vibrators. :( It makes all the difference girls.

[miruminii.livejournal.com]

netizens should go get a life rather than spending their time pointing these things out :|

[ari-meh.livejournal.com]

ugh.

[herro-is-vip.livejournal.com]

Do they really think korean record companies are going to plagiarize right now?

A lot of these accusations would stop if people would actually buy the album and look at the credits. Like what happened to Taeyang.

THIS.

i think people are a little too harsh on netizens. it's not like all of them are involved in shit like this. i'd compare it to our 'who wore it better?' posts: one person notices something and then points it out to others and they comment

[aprettyeternity.livejournal.com]

IA. Didn't think about it like that before.

[ningenningen.livejournal.com]

why do they care anyway?

[warui-otome.livejournal.com]

Bored much?

[hater-traitor.livejournal.com]

Netizens should replace the CIA. All terrorists would be found in a week.

i'm scared to listen you guys.

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

still, even if it's plagarism or whatever, it's not like it was the guys choice

[liu-zhoucheng.livejournal.com]

alright neitzens I told you if I heard ~~~plagiarism~~~ come out of your mouths ONE more time I was going to come after you, so Im warning 'Watch you backs XP'

Netizens, Netizens, Netizens
The word is even annoying.

The acoustic guitar bit is definitely the same but that hardly means direct plagiarism, STFU NETIZENS.

[natacha92.livejournal.com]

PS: The entire song is completely different and awesome, though, so whatever.

[jinnptr.livejournal.com]

Similar but not enough. >

This is random, but sort of related. :59-1:06 or 1:48-1:55 of "You and I" from FTI's Jump Up mini-album reminds me so much of the bridge of John Lennon's "Imagine."

For the record, I'm totally an FTI fan and don't buy the whole plagiarism thing. Just something I've noticed.

[loveisasia.livejournal.com]

Oh boredom and what results from it. Please to be checking the album credits?

Both songs are awesome.

[phasera.livejournal.com]

awww, i love jason sfm. :D that's such a cool video. (lol'ing at the pigeons).

yeah, that acoustic bit does sound really similar. :/ but w/e i still like the rest of the song! (in fact i shall go download the album right now, yaaaay).

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

i love 'Live High'! and i sure love FTI. just a little part of it sounds similar. it doesn't have to be accused as plagiarism rite? :/

dear, netizens

Re: dear, netizens

[czarny.livejournal.com]

lol who is that? Is she from some Cavegirl show that was on Channel 5 here? She looks familiar...

[xxarnxx.livejournal.com]

srsly netizens?

[anaaga.livejournal.com]

oooh so the acoustic guitars are similiar? that's why it's plagiarism?

then explain ALL of those beats (those awesome bass in the songs) 4minute, 2NE1, After School, Se7en, and other kroeans singers have. don't they sound familiar with some english songs? oh wait, not some, MOST of english songs. so why the hell didn't they accuse them of plagiarism?? is it because it's just "the beats" of the song? well guess what, it's just guitars too, so of course they will sound familiar. it's the same instrument after all. and don't forget, music is only involved with 7 notes (doremifasollatido) and a few of them being raised/lowered half a note, so it's going to be hard not to make the acoustic version familiar. don't know anything about music/the making of of it, tape ur huge mouth oh netizens. why don't they just use their butt to do something useful for the others, if they even have any butt?
(btw, i don't hate 2NE1, 4minutes, After School, & Se7en. blam the netizens for me using their names)
