Can't believe no one said Rihanna's "Don't Stop The Music" has sampled lyrics form Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". (not that I saw anyways) lol

I guess it's because it's not an actual "rip-off", it uses a sample that was cleared by MJ. Ironically, he is still getting sued for this song.

Yeah really, it's right Rihanna's credits. What MJ ripped off is NOT in "Wanna Be Startin Somethin"'s credits. Sherry you asked for it!!

That's what I love about you, Cinnie. So honest and upfront. hug lol

Thanks for pointing that out. At least he rewrote the chant. Rihanna just lifted the chant without even trying to make it sound original.

He is suing Michael again, because he let Ri, used the song in her record. Mind you, he and MJ had all ready settled out of court, the first time.

yes it's the same album. I think it was their 2nd single if I'm not mistaken. Madonna's rip-off came out just a year later lol

Christina's Candyman rips off Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of the Andrews Sister. Here are the 2 songs remixed together. It sounds like the same song.

That is more of a tribute, a homage to that style of music. She did not really rip it off.

lol lol lol

Just found another one:

"My Baby" by Justin Bieber is a straight-up ripoff of The Temptations "Lady Soul"..

Same chords progression, the "oh oh oh" chnat and the chorus sounds quite the same cool

Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves.
