Did Jason Mraz rip off 'Chelsea Rodgers'..? Was listening to the latest Jason Mraz album (from 2008 already...), and I found certain elements from 'Butterfly' very similar to Chelsea Rodgers. Don't get me wrong: I know they're totally different songs lyrically, structurally, etc., but I do find the feel and arrangement of the chorus instrumental part very similar; so similar, that I somehow feel Jason was actually attempting to do a Prince homage.
Love both the Jason Mraz album and Chelsea Rodgers in any case.

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is just the name of the album dude. Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. | |

Prince stole the whole groove from this over 30 years old disco jam :

Maybe these cats were "inspired" by the same source?

You'd have more an argument with Sticky like Glue, if that. This Post is produced, arranged, composed and performed by WetDream | |

Yep, that opening is straight up a rip of Sticky Like Glue.
I was getting into it, ya know, until Jason started to sang....WTF??? Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

I never heard Chelsea Rodgers but I sure did hear Sticky Like Glue at the beggining like everyone else...hmmm since this is 2008 maybe Prince ripped him off!! The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

Uh, Butterfly came out in 2008. Sticky Like Glue came out last year. | |

You expect me to believe that Gray? | |

Just a question. | |

I guess it's possible but I doubt it. | |

This would make perfect sense, as both Jason Mraz and "Chelsea Rodgers" are wretched. | |

I think I'm more curious as to how someone could listen to Jason Mraz. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but damn... | |

Ever heard "Geek in the Pink" or "The Remedy"?
Actually, he has an okay voice and he's cute as hell too... "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

Yep. | |

NO... | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Fuck yeah he is.
I also love his voice, though. I think it's playful and smooth and it compliments his laidback beach sound. | |

- I cant watch the video right now, but Chelsea´s bass line has a lot in common with ´Around the world´ by Daft Punk. [Edited 5/13/11 19:36pm] | |
