2 more songs that are similar: R Kelly and NKOTB/Ne-Yo





I just noticed that these songs sound very similar. I couldn't find a version of NKOTB's that wasn't blocked from embedding, so I posted Ne-Yo's version. It is the same song, though.

At least Ne-Yo did the Cyndi Lauper sample some justice. R screwed the sample up with his overproduced beats.

R could call his an interpolation and not use a sample. The chord progressions are about the same, but the melody is a tad bit different.

I think Ne-Yo's is a total sample because he used the chord progressions and keyboard riff.
