Did Ashlee Simpson rip off Coldplay?

[gatorsamiam]

Okay guys...I know I'll get blasted for even listening to Ashlee Simpson...but here it goes.

I read a review on MSN.com about the new album and one of the things I found curious was that the reviewer indicated that one of the songs sounded like the beginning of Oasis "Wonderwall."

I had to check it out on my Rhapsody music service to see what this was all about ...and when I continued to listen to more of the album I noticed that another song "Eyes Wide Open" sounded strangely familiar. The background music was a complete lift of "Square One".

Am I crazy? Someone check it out...and give me your thoughts!! NUTS!!

OMG! Yes, that's a COMPLETE rip off! Couldn't she have done it just a little more subtely?? I mean, the chorus AND the bit after the chorus is a bit too much. How unoriginal. At least when Coldplay "steal" bits of songs, they turn it into something a bit more original.

[coldplay_steph]

I gotta listen to this!

[gatorsamiam]

TOLD YA! I didn't think my ears deceived me either....

thanks for the opinions!

sam

[Sherine]

The thing is, it's SO obvious! When Coldplay first said that they tried stealing the drums off of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill", I was like, "What???". It just didn't fit. THEN, I heard the song again and it was a bit more obvious. But with Ashlee, it doesn't take a genius to pick up on it. It's a first-time-listen thing. Bad Ashlee. Very bad!

[berrywoman]

:stunned: I need to hear this when I get home...

[compguy347]

hahahahaha :lol:

that was wonderful.

now i REALLY hate her

[coldplay_steph]

:stunned: where can i listen to this song!?

[gatorsamiam]

That is absolutely criminal!!! I'm surprised she didn't say "You're in control...is there anywhere you wanna go?" How blatent can you get!!! Why not go the whole hog and shout "JONNY BOY!" in the middle of it? So funny when you think about it though. I wonder if the guys know? :P

[coldplay_steph]

:stunned: OOOHHHH MYYYYY GODDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :stunned:

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS!!! COMPLETE RIP OFF!!!!!

thanks for your help steph!

[Ted]

Oh Steph we do love a rant but it is so blatent! Did she ever imagine we devoted Coldplayers would never notice! Oh no I can see it now...MTV in the near future:

And now the new single from Ashlee Simpson, "Square Eyes Open" and the video will be her walking through some street and then running to a gig where everyone sings along...sound familiar???

Silly little girl.

[mandymcnabb]

Holy Shittttttt


Its a realllllyyy bad lift, at least when Coldplay does it, they do it flawlessly.

[coldplay_steph]

And they get permission!!! I really doubt they would have given her permission to use pretty much ALL of Square One, i mean, its Ashlee Simpson for god's sake!!! :rolleyes: IM SOOO MAD!!! It's my fave song on the album aswell! Grrrr!!! :angry:

[gatorsamiam]

thanks for all your opinions! i didn't think it was just me thinking that about this "song"

i posted this on the main Coldplay site as well....let's see what happens with this....

[Sienna]

sue her ass! sue her ass! and her whole body as well!!!!

[Ted]

Sue her! Sue her! Sue her! Coldplay can get some more cash to buy even better instruments and influence even bigger people. The Coldplay revolution is here... :rolleyes:

[coldplay_steph]

Here here!!! :)

[Sienna]

no, seriously, she should get sued! :angry:

[coldplay_steph]

Totally! :angry: I cant believe it!!! I wonder if they've heard about it yet....

[Sienna]

i'll see if i get enough courage to post it on coldplay.com...that would be great output! right? :confused:

[coldplay#1]

I'm serious when I see Ashlee Simpson and lindsay whatever I'm so going to kick their ass! :P :angry:

[Jsm0068]

Someone said on the Coldplay website the beginning of another one of her songs "dancing alone" sounds like Coldplay at the beginning.

Can someone upload it?

[coldplay#1]

What song does it sound like
by the way Welcome to Coldplaying.com! :P

[KM]

Okay, what's the title of her new album? I don't feel like downloading it... I'd rather listen to it on Amazon.com.

[Jsm0068]

What song does it sound like
by the way Welcome to Coldplaying.com! :P

I don't know, I'm just repeating what someone said :/

btw, thanks, nice to meet all of u! :D

[coldplay#1]

KM, its I'm me

Jsm0068, Your Welcome I heard it but I need to listen to the begining as

you said but I can't find it! well here is a wedsite to look at it http://music.msn.com/artist/default.aspx?artist=16659129&stab=2&mpc=1&sbc=1&sdr=0#

:P

[gatorsamiam]

if you have itunes...you can listen to 30 sec clips of the album...

thanks for all the posts guys...hopefully more people will check it out and see how blatant it was for ripping off coldplay!

[coldplay#1]

^ you're Welcome as I said I'm going to kick her ass when ever I see her! :P

[KM]

Thanks.

Now, time to assess the damage...

[an_cat]

I don't have to read a single post in this thread or even listen to the song to know my answer:




Yes.

[compguy347]

5 hours later and this is still funny to me :lol:

[KM]

Man, they don't have sound clips up yet.

[coldplay#1]

:P

[Sienna]

^same here! its so annoying! :lol: :lol: :lol:
she ripped it off, and its not even subtle....! :angry:

[bruttiиo]

wait a minute??? do you people actually think ashlee simpson makes her other music?

[mandymcnabb]

:lol:

[IneedYou23]

Holy shit balls!Thats is a complete rip off!!!

[gatorsamiam]

crazy isn't it???

[MAFE]

WTF?

[alyssa]

hahahahahahahhahahahaha

[KM]

I gave in... I'm downloading the song.

And I'm scared.

[frostbitepanda]

^ You should be. It's pretty damn blatant.

Knowing Coldplay though, if they ever catch wind of this, they probably won't care.

[an_cat]

Ok, just downloaded the song, much to my chagrin...

Well. I'd love to laugh at it, because it's kind of funny in a pathetic sort of way. But really it just pisses me off.

I fucking hate her. Always have. And I hate her even more now.

Who the hell listens to her, anyways?

(Now watch this song go to number 1. Coldplay probably wont release this as a single now because then THEY'LL get accused of plagerizing. What. Themselves!?)

If shit could sing it'd sound like Ashlee Simpson.

[heartswarm]

what a shame! not only that she's a lip-sycher wannabe, but she's also a song stealer...damn.

[coldplay#1]

I was thinking maybe she asked them but then I'm like naa...

What do you guys think she asked them or no!

in my opion I think maybe! :/

[an_cat]

No, I definately don't think she asked them.


Remember who we're talking about here.

[coldplay#1]

YES!!!

I just wondering! :angry: :)

[heartswarm]

did anyone looked at the credits on the album's sleeve? i think if she's courteous enough she would credit Coldplay for that! But I really doubt that :angry:

[KM]

Coldplay would NOT lend their song to a pop princess.

I just heard it. I really didn't expect it to be THAT similar. Oh man. Even the part after it 'rocks out' and the drums break and all that -- daaaaang. This sucks. Someone I know (who hates Coldplay but loves Ashlee Simpson) would probably love this song and hate Square One.

THAT is what gets me.

(CP's "Talk" is a different story. They got permission, and I think it was a great song. This... is horrible.)

[berrywoman]

Hahaha, did you see what Berrywoman was saying?
That was pissing me off.. like I would pose as Chris Martin and have conversations with myself :rolleyes:

But hes good.
:lol:

Ahh.
This kid from school just confessed his love for me.
And I feel to mean turning him down, so I was like, maybe if I get to know you..

haha

Im a heart breaker. ;)
:lol:

naughttt


can't you let sleeping dogs lie?? I dropped this case about 2 days ago and you insist.. I was going to pm you.. but since you like all the attention.. I'll address you here in front of all your peers....

if you claim it was your father.. FINE so be it.. how many more times do I have to say it. ALL I said was after the fact... anyone found/or caught impersonating band members will be dealt with... thats all. Now be a good little girl and quit draggin my name thru the mud... i don't appreciate it.. and in the future... if you have a problem with me.. take it to a pm or better yet.. go straight to my boss... see if that solves your knickers in a bunch.


good day.

[alyssa]

The song is even in the same key...

[coldplay#1]

yup true I showed my brother and my friend and their what a bitch!

[berrywoman]

isn't that riff in Square One sampled as well??

[KM]

That kind of high-descending guitar part in the background where Chris sings, "It doesn't matter who you aaaa-aaaaa-aaaare, it doesn't matter who you are," is even copied. I mean jeez -- a background piece.

Do you think she or her band were embarrassed about this at all...?

[coldplay#1]

hey I think we should join the forum of her fans and make a post of this! :D

[heartswarm]

i wonder what they would say to defend this....coincidence?! :lol: :lol:

[coldplay#1]

I think I'm singing up not let me think

[coldplay#1]

want to join an ashlee simspon forum! :P

http://www.ashleesimpsonmusic.com/forums.aspx

[StephBerryman]

:lol: :lol: i'm no fan of Ashlee Simpson, but she has good taste in music. i'll give her credit for that.

the beginning part of 'Square One' was a riff off 2001:Space Odyssey, i believe.

[coldplay#1]

I just want to tell the fans what she did wrong! :/ :D

[KM]

OMG ashlee is da bomb
cold play ripd her of u noe dat rite

*~ LoNg LiVe AsHlEe!!! ~*

[KM]

the beginning part of 'Square One' was a riff off 2001:Space Odyssey, i believe.
Yeah. After the first three notes, I always have to finish it off with a "Bam baaaaaaa! DUNdunDUNdunDUNdunDUNdun."

[compguy347]

10 hours later and this is still funny :lol:

btw: ashlee simpson == a whore

[Jan]

What a rip off :sick:

[bonita]

the begining of that guitar riff in the instrumental break.. is EXACTLY the same as jonny's riff...

and the key is the same... fuckers.

ashlee = :borg:

[coldplay_steph]

:stunned: Im still in shock today.....i just cant believe just HOW similar it is....did she really think no one would notice?! :/ When i first listened to it my jaw literally dropped. Im so mad....i really want her ass to get sued. :angry:

[Jan]

There's even a part where the drumbeat is exactly the same as Will's :/

[gatorsamiam]

thanks guys for all your opinions...i posted the same thing on the main Coldplay site...but no one really cares over there...interesting....maybe i need to repost it! lol

sam

[coldplay_steph]

^Yeah i just went over to the other site and read some replies, no one really seems as angry over there, weird! :/

[Christiana]

i can't listen to it - just the names "ashlee simpson" and "coldplay" in the same sentence kind of makes me nauseous :sick2:

[Jan]

I'm also getting sick of it :sick:

[kekita]

:dozey:











:stunned:









:o







:angry:









:x








:veryangry2:








:sick2:








:dead:

[coldplay_steph]

^Hahahahahahaaa :lol: :lol: :lol:

i know the feeling!!!

[kekita]

:lol: oh god that was exactly how i reacted....then the paramedics had to come and revive me.

i did not expect it to be so similiar----and in some parts exactly the same!!! :angry:

[coldplay_steph]

:lol: I know! She's basically nicked the whole f*cking song!!!! Im so mad....i really hope this escalates further and she gets sued or something, because its not on, just blatently ripping off peoples songs like that when they have worked so hard on them. Im not sure what reaction the guys would give to something like this but i really hope they sure her!!! :angry:

[kekita]

yeah she can't write her own songs, the people that do probably got so bored with her that they can't be bothered any more and therefore they just plagarised :angry:

i think coldplay would just say she didn't even know who we were- like Paris Hilton :rolleyes:

[Christiana]

remember the story about her and lindsey lohan making up back stage at a COLDPLAY concert?? geez, i just hate this!! :angry: she gets back stage at their concert, then rips off a song too?? when will this madness end?? !!!


:lol:

[kekita]

^ :o yeah she steals their limelight and their songs :angry:

that just proves that she stole their song!!! she was at the concert!!! :idea2:

[Christiana]

^ :o yeah she steals their limelight and their songs :angry:

that just proves that she stole their song!!! she was at the concert!!! :idea2:

YEAH, she's got a major beatdown coming!! *tries to sound like fifty cent* :lol:

[kekita]

:lol:

[Sienna]

she never makes her own songs..the show proved it, and should i recall the SNL embarrasing lipsync chaos? ashlee should do us all a favor to please stop making "music", when in reality is just a cacophonus thunder to the ear....even if she rips off the best band on earth! :angry: :angry: :angry:

[bruttiиo]

I was thinking maybe she asked them but then I'm like naa...

What do you guys think she asked them or no!

in my opion I think maybe! :/
well if she asked them that would imply that she makes her own music. I would guess that her producer asked somebody and the producer probably "ripped off" a lot more bands than coldplay. It's not really Ashlee's fault imo. I'm not saying this because I'm a fan of her or something, it's just the truth.

[Sienna]

^yeah...but at a certain level, she could be blamed too..i mean she is "the artist" :confused:

[bruttiиo]

If I was a rich 17 year old girl living her near perfect life I would probably have no clue what was going on, no offense. Even if she did know she probably thought people would think it was cool to use something from a good band. At least they didn't copy crappy music.

*edit
the thing that bothers me is that no one really knows if she ripped them off and yet everyone assumes that she did. I would guess that Coldplay is getting paid in part for them using the rights to their song. I wouldn't consider that a "rip-off" If more people copied coldplay then maybe we'd have some better music so I don't really have anything against it.

[Sienna]

^if they are indeed getting something out of it...then she might as well give them some credit...list the as an influence or something! :confused:

btw..she is 21. not 17.

[bruttiиo]

:P she sure doesn't act like she's 21, but then I probably don't act my age either. Well a lot of bands do covers and copy things. It probably won't say anything about Coldplay on her album but it might say something about using the rights from their record company.

p.s. add my myspace :P

[Sienna]

^what about my space? :cool:

[bruttiиo]

fine, I just didn't want you to be like "uhhh, who is this?"

[Li_cold]

wow, this shocked me a little bit...I'm gonna check it... :stunned:

[Sienna]

done. i added you!

BTW, cool myspace :P :P

[bruttiиo]

thanks. not as cool as alyssa's though... dang her and her stupid photoshop-ness...

[Sarah87]

HOLY!!!

Is she NUTS?!

I've never heard such blunt plagiarism in my life.

Johnny's guitar,Will's drums,just copied and pasted,I'm surprised she spared Guy's kick ass bassline.

It's so unreal,couldn't she wait a few years atleast?

Wow,I'm just floored.

[rachhh24]

wow, what a fricken rat

[KM]

Coldplay probably don't care if they don't know already.

Cuz really.

They're Coldplay. And she's Ashlee. They'll probably joke about it. I still can't believe it, though. :stunned:

[StepOut]

This is truely shocking.

[alyssa]

thanks. not as cool as alyssa's though... dang her and her stupid photoshop-ness...

hoi! :P

[coldplay_steph]

The more i listen to this awful song the more i realise that there's no way this wasnt lifted directly from Square One. I mean if it was only a small part of the song that was remotely similar then yes, maybe it could have been just a weird coincidence.....but the intro, the synths, the drum beat, the guitar.....its most definatley a rip-off. Grrrrr. :angry:

[Oenona]

Considering the controversy with this song, I'm gonna to download it so I could give us my opinion...

[coldplay_steph]

Love_Coldplay, be prepared to be shocked when you hear it! My jaw hit the floor!

[Oenona]

^ I hope to be prepared for this... :confused:

[gatorsamiam]

hey again steph...thanks for your opinions and getting the word out....the thing is ...the ashlee song will never be released as a single...so my guess coldplay's management wouldn't even bother....i wonder if on ashlee's album their is some sort of credit for that song given to the producer of X and Y?

sam
florida, usa

[heartswarm]

^ i wonder about that as well. at least if they give Coldplay a credit on the sleeve, fans won't be that angry, but still the very thought of ripping the song is unforgiveable!

[clocks-politik]

and its the first track as well

[clocks-politik]

...oh my god....i just listened to it for the first time.....thats rediculous

[clocks-politik]

OH MY GOD!!!!

[clocks-politik]

i didnt know she was really that stupid...THIS IS REDICULOUS

[clocks-politik]

she copied the little riff jonny plays and i was like oh my god then she copied the chorus and i was like OH MY GOD WHAT,,.... this is a horrible song, has anyone contacted debs

[*Jess*]

How dare she.... :angry:

[clocks-politik]

this is worse than when blink 182..or was it sum 41, who cares they both suck, blatantly copied the scientist just sped it up.

[*Jess*]

Damn these stupid people stop trying to make songs as good as Coldplay cos YOU NEVER WILL!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Reason i'm so angry:just saw a picture of Guy Berryman wife.... :cry: :cry: :cry:

[coldplay_steph]

she copied the little riff jonny plays and i was like oh my god then she copied the chorus and i was like OH MY GOD WHAT,,.... this is a horrible song, has anyone contacted debs

thats a good point, should someone tell her maybe?

[kekita]

check out the music thread :lol: .......even her fans hate her :lol: :lol:

[lennyp75]

HAHAHAHA omg i can't believe this, this is ridiculous. thats pretty blatent on her part

[KM]

I really hope Coldplay didn't give her permission to do this. If they did... I'd... question my beliefs. :(

[Sienna]

check out the music thread :lol: .......even her fans hate her :lol: :lol:

:lol: :lol:

[amsterdam528]

she copied the little riff jonny plays and i was like oh my god then she copied the chorus and i was like OH MY GOD WHAT,,.... this is a horrible song, has anyone contacted debs

Yeah, I was just expecting the synth to be in, not the guitar riff.

BTW, did you hear how they changed the distorted chorus riff? It's played like it's backward. XD

How shameful.

[berrywoman]

she was on Larry King Live tonight.... I think they may have asked her about this

[coldplay#1]

I was soupse to watch her preformance in a other show i think but I fuckin feel asleep :lol:

[Ladybug]

Yesterday evening after I listened to it I was like "Yeah, maybe a bit..." but then I listened to it again this morning and it's so obvious I cannot believe it http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/Giulietta/Miscellaneous/Smilies/rotflol.gif

But why are all of you so upset about this? I find it to be hilariously funny, to be honest *lol*
I mean, isn't that sad? That she has to do something like that? Uh, well...
Because it's not like you'd say, it seems to be inspired by their song, since you immediately recognize the riff...haha.

she was on Larry King Live tonight.... I think they may have asked her about this
Hm, do you think so? But 'Square One' hasn't been released as a single either (I'm saying this like you didn't know :lol: ), so I'm not sure, if that many people will have noticed it. I dunno...

I REALLY hope someone addresses this to her, though :D

[Egghead]

You people are class. So many fans going nuts over a ripoff. Like its the most evil thing possible.


Its the music industry. Everyone rips off everyone.
Deal with it

[Nettie]

You people are class. So many fans going nuts over a ripoff. Like its the most evil thing possible.


Its the music industry. Everyone rips off everyone.
Deal with it

It is the most evil thing possible because it's so BLATANT!

They didn't even try to disguise it in any way, shape or form. :rolleyes:

[mandymcnabb]

Does anyone have a link of where her fans hate her..
I want a good laugh.

[coldplay_steph]

It is the most evil thing possible because it's so BLATANT!

They didn't even try to disguise it in any way, shape or form. :rolleyes:

Exactly!!!

[Egghead]

It is the most evil thing possible because it's so BLATANT!

They didn't even try to disguise it in any way, shape or form. :rolleyes:

So where does Sum 41's ripoff fit into that? 2nd?

or how about Coldplay's ripoff of Radiohead's High and Dry with The Scientist?
Or even Coldplay's ripoff of Coldplay's Clocks for Speed of Sound?

[Nettie]

Which part of The Scientist is a rip off of 'Don't leave me Dry' exactly....?

[Egghead]

mp3 link (http://www.engsoc.org/~kraven/Music/Radiohead%20&%20Coldplay.mp3)

[Nettie]

Yeah - and your point is....?

That's just chord progressions, it's not literal, note for note melody as what Ashlee has done...

Ain't the same....

[mandymcnabb]

that sound amazing.

[Egghead]

Yeah - and your point is....?


Its the music industry. Everyone rips off everyone.

[mandymcnabb]

I think In My Place might originate from that too.
when it first begins. :cool:

[mandymcnabb]

Am I the only person who hears In My Place in that? :huh:

[Nettie]

Yeah - and your point is....?


Its the music industry. Everyone rips off everyone.


Whatever...

I'm not saying that Coldplay haven't lifted anything from anyone, but they have a canny knack of regurgitating it into something COMPLETELY different and COMPLETELY their own...

[Jsm0068]

or how about Coldplay's ripoff of Radiohead's High and Dry with The Scientist?
Or even Coldplay's ripoff of Coldplay's Clocks for Speed of Sound?

:lol: What are you talking about? First of all, "High and Dry" sounds NOTHING like "The Scientist," but both are great songs, imo.

second, how can Coldplay rip off themselves? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Nettie]

Thank you :lol:

[coldplay_steph]

Haha very true! :lol:

[Sienna]

You people are class. So many fans going nuts over a ripoff. Like its the most evil thing possible.


Its the music industry. Everyone rips off everyone.
Deal with it

yes. i agree. :D
but, whenever artists rip off one another, they at least admit it. even if they call it an "influence" or sometimes they even admit they ripped off a chord progression, a bass line, a drum beat, etc.

[KM]

I was mad for the first night. Now every time I hear it I have to laugh.

I just wonder if it'll say anything in the sleeve about it.

[thescientist06]

Oh man I browsed Itunes to find that song and all I told my sister was "I heard she ripped off some people..." and right then I played it the first thing she said was "coldplay!" and then I went to play Square One and it was identical....
can she do that?!

[Sienna]

^i guess...sad world isnt it? :stunned:

As long as they get their cut of the profits...

Besides, would Coldplay really want their name on the sleeve of an Ashlee Simpson CD.

Fuck no!

[master_place_forever]

a complete rip off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:devil:

[swallowedinamessage]

:lol:

just a tiny little rip off there :rolleyes:

[StephBerryman]

there you go stephberrywoman...

[an_cat]

If you haven't listened to it you're lucky.

It's so shitty I can smell it through my computer screen. Honestly.

[fudge]

oh yeah so it is.....

[coldplay_steph]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[fudge]

it's rubbish as well. What bothers me is that if coldplay release SQ1 as a single stupid kids are gonna say "oh, it sounds like that ashley simpson song!" Idiots! :angry:

[Elad]

ASSLEE SIMPSON SUCKS MAJOR ASS(LEE)!!!
SHE COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF THE BEST SONG ON "X&Y"!!!
THAT NO TALENT B*TCH!!! :x :x :x

[atarisboy86]

^ yah, I didn't like it either....

now Coldplay has to find some way to let everyone know about this, if in fact no permission was given......embarass her

much like when U2 played SNL a few weeks after she did.....Bono yelled out 'Live Live Live' a few times, to let ppl know they play live...

[Nettie]

If you haven't listened to it you're lucky.

It's so shitty I can smell it through my computer screen. Honestly.

hmmmmmmmm :lol:

[Oenona]

I've already listened to it!!! It's just a completely plagiarism of Square One!!!!
In the beginning I thought it was only some coincidences but when I listened the whole song I didn't have any doubt... a completely rip off!!!!

Coldplay should fine her!!!! F*ck her!!!!!! :x :x :x

[knoxoverstreet]

this "lady" is simply ridicolous... :confused:

it's a complete rif off.

[Oenona]

^ you're right!! so ridiculous!!!

[blondie_61181]

I am completely disgusted ... she has truely showed everyone that she has no talent with SNL, the football game, and now this. WTF

:angry: Joanna :angry:

[atarisboy86]

so I looked at my friend's booklet........no acknowledgement to Coldplay at all in it :(

[.*.+green_eyes+.*.]

Wow I can't believe it...I just heard the song and it sounded exactly the SAME!!
:angry: Yeh shows how pathetic she is at writing her own music!! :angry:

[KM]

so I looked at my friend's booklet........no acknowledgement to Coldplay at all in it :(

"Oh yes, we've heard it. It's just as good as ours. In fact, it's about a million times better."

[mandymcnabb]

Chris would make our sides split with whatever he would say about the matter..

[Kspice]

[kekita]

damn that Simpson girl.....everytime i listen to Square one i start singing "do you know how it feels.....with eyes wide open etc" :angry: and i hear her screeching voice instead of Chris lovely falsetto:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :embarrased: :angry: :angry: :angry:

[coldplay_steph]

:angry: :angry: :angry: i know what you mean! When the song 1st opens i keep hearing 'aaah i could heeear herrr breeaaathiiiing' in that awwwful voice of hers!!! :angry: :angry: :angry:

[kekita]

'aaah i could heeear herrr breeaaathiiiing' in that awwwful voice of hers!!!


as i read that i could hear it!!!!!!!!! :( :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

[coldplay_steph]

^Hahaha! :lol: Her voice is soooo terrible!!! Grrrrr!!! :angry:

[Jack]

My God!!! I've just heard that.... At first I thought us being amazing Coldplay fans we'd have just exaggerated... But... Wow... I was expecting Chris to start singing at any moment..... :stunned:

That's.... I hate her now.

[stevemah]

only just heard it the other day. surely she'll get taken to court?

[Ted]

I vote we all get tickets for TOTP if she performs and we all boo like crazy. We can have a big banner saying "CFU against Ashlee Simpson" and all wear badges with her face crossed out like a no-smoking sign. Somehow I can see just me being there and getting chucked out by security... :rolleyes:

[coldplay_steph]

^ :stunned: Great idea! Im with you! :D Anyone else wanna come?
:lol:

[Flying Sparks]

I didn't read all 17 pages, but I read the first page and downloaded the Ashlee Simpson song you were talking about - it's UNBELIEVABLE how obvious it is.. OMG, I f*ckin' hate her right now! I can't believe this, it's the same freakin' melody!! Awful!!

[Flying Sparks]

I just found something VERY interesting, an article in which Ashlee Simpson gets slagged off very badly :D

--> http://www.bsudailynews.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/11/02/436848783c82b

This paragraph is especially important:

"From the pulsing hip hop of “L.O.V.E,” in which she mimics Gwen Stefani, to the stargazing rock sound of “Dancing Alone” that was stolen from Coldplay, to her desperate attempt to sound like the Black Eyed Peas on “Burnin Up,” Ashlee Simpson — or “the talented one’s sister” — has remained firm in her quest to deliver the most contrived, manufactured, paint-by-numbers excuse for music that our nation’s preteen girls have ever loved to make themselves dumber to."[/b]

[KM]

You mean there are two songs that are like CP's or is it just a title mix up?

[Nia]

You know, it wouldn't really surprise me if she did rip them off. There is nothing original about this girl what so ever, shes just a wannabe.
You can't imitate a sound like Coldplays, that's just not possible so she better stop trying.

[trevgreg]

it's a title mixup. they probably did mean this Eyes Wide Open song (the simularity still shocks me)...

[elizabeth]

:stunned: BITER!!! ...I just listened to the track...gosh! It's people like her who really, really piss me off...they go out on MTV as 'new rising artists' and get all this praise and stuff from people who just dont know what theyre saying. It's so stupid because the truth is that all their "great new" music is completely ripped off from other amazingly talented, original artists.

the song has finished playing :sneaky: *deleates from itunes playlist*

seriously...what is wrong with most american artists these days? It's mostly garbage nowadays! (no offense) I'm not surpised to find that all of my fave bands come from the UK...props to you guys out there.

[kekita]

^ i'd say that about popular music in general, i'm sure there are current great songs by american artist they just don't get played on MTV :dozey:

[Sienna]

elizabeth, hey there*waves hand*
i agree with you completely..bands here in america lack originality and most importantly a sound of their own. all bands(and singers) here, with few exceptions, try to sound emo, or punk or "death metal"(such a disaster) and is even worse when they copy an artist, regardless if its britney spears or coldplay. bands from europe, although all can be classified under rock and/or alternative, they all have their sound... :D :D :D
