Songs that sound way too similar

[Urbanney]

What songs do you like (or dislike) that sound way too similar? I have 2 sets of songs to start:

Roar by Katy Perry and Brave by Sara Bareilles: The instrumental is almost exactly the same and both are self-empowerment anthems 

Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson vs Halo by Beyonce: Melodies and lyrics are pretty different, but instrumentals are very similar 

 

[Roxxy]

I noticed it when Britney used this song on one of her IG videos.

I literally thought it was gonna go tenenenen ten ten ten tenenenenen tenenenen ten ten ten tenenenenen to the tune of Take on Me by A-HA.

Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

Take on Me by A-HA

[Baronesse]

 

Love Sour Candy and all of Chromatica though. 

[RadicalOptimism]

I’ll Stand By You - The Pretenders (covered by Shakira) Sounds a lot like her own song yet it’s never been confirmed that she sampled and she hasn’t acknowledged it and it’s always driven me crazy

The Halo/Already Gone thing was an absolute tragedy. Kelly Clarkson got screwed over because Beyoncé wanted her song, and she wouldn’t give it to her, so Ryan Tedder wrote Halo. Beys album came out first, so Kelly tried to stop Already Gone being on her record and then releasing it as a single as she knew people would say she copied Beyoncé, when that wasn’t true. She wrote “Wash, Rinse, Repeat” calling out Ryan and her label.

Once again, Beyoncé is dodgy af, yet no one seems to give a ****.

Born This Way/Express Yourself !
The fact that Gaga got away with sampling credits, is still astonishing to me.

Kelly always seems to get screwed over by the music industry

I know! It’s so unfair! Hopefully her new label will be nicer to her.

Yeah, The Veronicas were super pissed about it too considering 4ever came out 3 years before U+Ur Hand. It’s nearly the same song just with different lyrics

Rap biches telling their team “make me like Barbie” 

City Girls stealing Nicki’s flow. Blatant copy and paste! 

Cardi B

I’ve personality always felt like Strip Me by Natasha Bedingfield and Battlefield By Jordan Sparks that are very similar to Halo and Already Gone. Maybe I’m crazy but this one I’ve always felt they all similar
