Did Christina Aguilera Lift Sugababes Song?

The New York Post reports that when Christina Aguilera's album 'Stripped' included a track called 'Make Over', many noticed the beat and pace was remarkably similar to the 2001 Sugababes tune called 'Overload'. Aguilera and Linda Perry were listed as the song's writers when 'Stripped' first came out, but now ASCAP also lists Sugababes writers Jonathan Lipsey, Felix Howard, Cameron Mcvey and Paul Simm as 'Make Over' writers. Also, Aguilera's 'Stripped in London' DVD does not include 'Make Over'.

I always wondered how they got away with it, they sound identical...i prefer "Overload" though.

christina better watch out for mutya then. id be scared

Yeah..she did. I heard Overload first....and then after the review I read on Stripped,it pointed out the similarities in the two songs. So I listened to Make Over to see if I could tell the difference. I like Overload better too.

Christina's such an artist! She can rip off with the best of 'em.

It's not her fault though....she didn't have anything to do with the actual song other than singing it.

She wrote it with Linda Perry?

Or, uh, "wrote", rather.
