The bands newest song Magic has a very similar beat and piano chord... to the way you make me feel. it sounds like a blatant rip off.




Their song Speed of sound had a piano rift similar to Didn't We Almost Have it All. and 2 songs from Viva La Vida sound like janet b-sides. Is the group inspired by them? why do they rip them off???? Whitney & MJ would be ashamed.... to see the songs they worked hard on making be ripped off.

I'm sorry I just don't hear it.

Since Whitney didn't write songs and a lot of her hits were remakes, how can someone rip her off?

your threads get better and better

stolen love...change your word 'rifts', to 'riffs'...it'll do you no harm.

.

You're going to have to explain further what you mean...no one seems to be getting it...perhaps you're talking about the 'lolloping' kick drum + snare sound...but even that's pushing it.

I fail to hear any similarities between the new Coldplay single and the examples you mentioned.

Stolenlove is a racist, pure and simple. And, I don't give a rats ass what colour he is, he's a racist.

Look at the flowers Stolenlove, just look at the flowers.

I wouldn't put it past them. I have heard my share of lifted ideas regurgitated by Coldplay.

One of their big hits, the chorus is totally the melody of "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk. I think they even gave them a writing credit. No, not the most original thinkers out there.

Y'all know this is a trolling thread right? and dudes have never stolen anything from MJ at all. Kraftwerk maybe, but MJ?

I won't listen to Coldplay voluntarily so, I really can't comment on the tune in the OP. Just pointing out they have a history of sketchy borrowing from other popular songs.

You know, they have this technology that tells you whether or not your song will be a hit, based on the chord progression, tempo and other measurable qualities. It bases it on how close your song matches up to songs that have been popular in the past. Say you've got a song that is measuring a 7 but you need it to be at least an 8.5 to get promoted. So you keep tweaking the chorus until it practically is the same as the chorus of Blurred Lines in order to get the score up. You might gte to the point where you can't get a good enough score without stealing the melody of a prior hit song.

COLDPLAY owes the early parts of their career first few albums to a-ha, and those of you, who only know "Take On Me" then you'll be saying "what?" well if you know a-ha's output from 2000-2009, you pretty much have COLDPLAY's sound, and actually you can date it further back into a-ha's work to "east of the sun west of the moon" and find the exact keyboard riff from "clocks" on a-ha's "Waiting for Her" a total "riff off" so to speak, complete copy of the chord prorgressions, Ironically the keyboard player from a-ha who had solo albums of instrumentals in 1998 and 2000 also vocal albums in 2005 and 2008, i have played those albums to people without telling them who it is and they say "Is this Coldplay" every freaking time.

Hmmm and all this time I thought U2 was the blueprint.

Shouldn't this be in the Michael Jackson sticky? It briefly mentions his initials...

No, this is just a trolling thread. I mean it is stonelove. If you can give me an example where they stole from MJ sure. i admited to kraftwerk, and some late 90's A-Ha but MJ? NO. Everyone is just on his dick and thinks he invinted the sun

Just chill...dude or dudette is long gone...
