Two others: Avant "Read Your Mind" - "Strip For You" (R. Kelly) Usher (Yeah, the 'next Michael Jackson ) "Do It To Me" - "The Beautiful Ones" (Prince) Marques Houston "My Favorite Girl" - "Let Me Love You" (Mario)

Shut yo' mouth, boy! You always funny...

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)

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.

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

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.

Shit I gotta check that one out. Is that on the same Deee-Lite album as "Groove Is In The Heart"? I have that CD around here somewhere.

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

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.

Yes! These two are literally the exact same music.

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
