Diana Vickers Vs Chili Peppers!!

[stingrayPete1977]

Well I just spotted this on my home page, [url="http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/behind_the_music/29544/chili-peppers-to-sue-vickers"]http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/behind...-to-sue-vickers[/url] I must admit I didnt notice when watching her on X factor (Sorry I know!) but listening using the link I think their is an element of truth,Have a listen see what you think?

I cant stand her voice but whoever is writing her tunes has got the knack of making a catchy tune to be fair and if they were rerecorded by someone else I would quite like them. How sad am I!

[Pete Academy]

Absolute rip-off.

[AndyTravis]

haha,

just sang 'under the bridge down town...' word for word over the top.

Interesting.

[Doddy]

I think the Chili's would win. Four against one......easy.

[EdwardHimself]

It took them an hour to write it? I think that should tell you everything.

[Dood]

Musicians are just running out of chords.... (includes Under The Bridge, funnily!)

That is brilliant!

[JTUK]

They both get on my tits, but at least the Chillies have been around for way long enough to do that. DV is into her second?? single and enough already, even though she was a cut above most of her XF line-up.

[pietruszka]

Apparently she wrote it, she admitted to listening to Under the Bridge when she wrote it.

Doesn't make any difference, she's still a moron by all accounts

Awesome!

[the_skezz]

Only noticed after reading the article, but yeah, blatent similarities. At least they've admitted the influence/ripoff - maybe not the most legally advisable thing to do, but still good to see the original source getting some acknowledgment.

Seconded. Pure quality

MB1.
They shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence ! One of them obviously wears no knickers!

I'm so out of the loop of mainstream radio and tv music.
I was in my sisters car the other day and heard what I thought was the beatles with blackbird. Thought it was a trifle strange hearing the beatles on commercial radio. a few seconds later I realise its not them, turns out it was gary barlow and robbie williams.
I'm not a fan of u2 but love that line in the fly, Every artist is a cannibal. Every poet is a thief. probably true

Spotted the RHCP rip off on first listen of Diana Vickers track.
Jason Derulo has been at it for a few songs- In My Head is 'heavily influenced' by GaGa's Just Dance and his latest has most of the verse of Flashdance (What a Feeling) as it's verse. If you haven't heard it yet you'll know it when you hear it!


This was the most blatant rip-off in pop-rock I'd heard for a long time- sing the chorus of Pink's You and Your Hand (0.36 in)



over this chorus (from 0.33)

Jaysus thats shocking
Shame really, she was one of the few from that show that actually caught my attention. Whoever is producing should be shot IMO.

[daz]

You saw her "on X Factor". Whats X Factor? some kind of porn show?

Isn't it an Iron Maiden album?

[Machines]

Diana Vicker's voice makes me feel violent. She sings with a furiously annoying accent to everything.

It's a style that get's on my moobs.
Shades of Cranberries vocalist but with the annoying habit of creating extra syllables in words.

I saw her on 'This Morning' earlier and couldn't tell a word that she mimed.

[derrenleepoole]

Yeah, it's similar to Under The Bridge, but UTB is similar to countless other songs to be honest. And let's face it, she probably didn't write it. Swings and roundabouts

PS... The Axis Of Awesome was brilliant
