yes they are the same the beat if you listen to the begining of both they sound similar, and if you dont think they sound similar then you don't have good hearing which seems to be most of the people commenting and americans don't have power were just smart to point out little things that are in a daily life that some people don't notice.
When my brother writes music he sometimes unintentionally will use a melody or part of a melody from a song without even knowing it until I point it out. Music is everywhere and the same melodies, or just parts of them are in all different songs. They may have similar notes, and this could be because of this reason, or digital composition machine produced a similar beat. Things happen, sometimes unintentionally.
This is so lame they don't even sound the same!!! Even if you slow the song "I Don't Care" to the same pace as "Just Go" it would still sound different.
Note-wise, yes, I do think they sound similar. But they both have different vibes. Lionel Richie's more reggae. 2NE1's more pop. And did @koos235 just say "don't be blind"? More like don't be DEAF. >.>
@aznbgirl06 i agree that they do sound similar but not the same...but 2NE1 did make a reggae version tand it still sounds completely different from lionel richie
@Strawb3rrymilkshak3 No one is even suing anybody so I don't see what the problem is. The person who posted this video just noted the similarities between the two songs.
u idiots are expecting the musics to be identical?? 2NE1 would simply copy Just Go, they also changed it slightly to make it less obvious but there are still some obvious similarities.
Look at all these people who are lying to themselves...lol. I just listned to both songs and it's no doubt that they are very similar, so the case is closed there. The next case is "who plagerized"?
i see NO similarities. in fact, "Just Go" sounds more like "Put You To Bed", you know: that song by J. Holiday... Although the bottom instrumental might be confused with it; however many of the chords are different.
for the people who wonder why yg never got sued by sony. it is simple sony was not going to get the money that they would put into suing someone back from yg. the amount of money they would had took from yg wont even cover the cost of lawyer fees for one hour.
yea its not completely in your face copying so get over it.. think about The Departed. Was a DIRECT copy of a taiwanese movie and what happened? oh it got an oscar or two... americans only care when non-americans copy but have no qualms about copying from other people... (ie. beyonce and fosse)
@jdoramaking There could be coincidence sometimes , even if i'm not a K-pop fan , it's still not copying to me . Why would 2ne1/the composer/writer want to copy . Anyway , the case is close isn't it ?
@xboredBITCH Well, u saying it's a coincidence proves that you do hear similarities. Just be realistic. Kpop is built on American music, everything from how they talk, sing, dress, etc. Why would it stop at the songs? I like both songs and I find myself humming between both songs because it's the same. People will deny copying. Even Vanilla ice denied copying with his "ice ice baby" song. Even if they didn't copy intentional, u can't help but copy if you're so exposed to something for so long.
SO?????? many songs sound similar these days...SO WHAT!! it cud be inspirations or coincidence but IT DOESNT MATTER!! what matters is people love it and will continue BUYING IT!!!!!!
really again Its not worth getting your panties in a bunch.
-o- if the greedy american artist can't share their beats, music, or anything. then screw them.

Oh, by the way.. it's pretty childish of you to come to the conclusion that I'm "not too smart" simply based on a comment on a youtube video ;) Everyone has the right to their own opinion, whether you like it or not.

I don't know why Sony didn't take this to court, it could be that they just didn't want the hassle. Lots of people on youtube are using their songs without permission and they take down some of those vids, but never press charges. I mean, can you imagine how much of an ordeal that would be?
Think what you like, but at this point your comment is null and void because other people have already said the same thing multiple times. I've also said all I have to say, opinion still stands and I won't repeat myself. Thank you and good night :P
I showed a few of 2NE1's songs to my friend last night and while we were listening to "I don't care", she said that the even though she had never heard the song before, it sounded really familiar. I started playing Lionel Richie's "Just go" and she immediately recognized that one and said that the choruses sound almost exactly the same. To me, that's when two different songs are too alike to be a coincidence.
why is this a big deal anyway? lionel richie's 5000 miles away from 2NE1. they have different listeners... and like yeeherng said, the world is a big place
its not really simmilar except when they say i dont care and just dont go then everything else is different like the beat and the time length and the way they sing their song and the beat try listening to both of the songs at the same time theres a big diffference
"Teddy said firmly that he did not plagiarize,responding to claims of similarities between I Dont Care and Just Go.He said, I did listen to the Lionel Richie song following the controversy overI Dont Care.You cant say it is plagiarism just because the feel, not the melody,of the two songs are similar.Two people living on opposite sides of the world could have similar facial features.I'm frustrated that some people are convinced I used the Richie song as a reference,if not plagiarized."
OMG...another section full of ignorants....remember these singers have connections and could talk to one another about using the song and its style....its not plagiarism...ITS PERMISSION...
@MrJulianJplay, it sounds like you're the ignorant one. If YG had the permission, why didn't they give credit to where it's due? And if they had connections and did actually "talk to one another" about this, why would Sony have accused YG of plagiarism?
why did Sony not take any action? Perhaps because there isn't enough for them to go on? It's perfectly possible for two people to come up with the same idea independent of each other; that, in itself, of course, doesn't immediately mean that plagiarism didn't occur, but it does mean that simply listening to a song (unless there is huge similarity) is not enough to go on (detailed analysis is needed).
cont. I don't know, and have no way of knowing, whether plagiarism actually occurred, and neither do any of you here (at least not with so much certainty). Three things could have happened, intentional plagiarism (the fact that the composer involved is reputable, and I imagine has enough self-respect and wouldn't want to bring harm to anyone involved, makes it highly unlikely), unintentional plagiarism (he heard the song a long time ago, and it influenced his music without him knowing), or
cont.2 or simply coincidence (coming up with a song that is similar to another (especially when the similarity isn't that great) is hardly impossible; considering that until it's release a song is only heard by a handful of people, they just simply might not pick up on the similarity, and the situation can be as innocent as that). In other words, people should avoid jumping to conclusions, and use their brain just a little bit more (or if they aren't too smart, perhaps keep quiet)...
@ngahuaiae "unintentional plagiarism (he heard the song a long time ago, and it influenced his music without him knowing)" <- you're right, hat could very well be the case here :) While I do agree that it is nearly impossible to come up with a COMPLETELY original song, I think that these two songs are too alike to be a coincidence. They just changed a few things here and there but other that that, there isn't much of a difference.
i dont think its plagiarism unless the songs are EXACTLY the same, like lyrics and err'thang. its just the instrumental, so its like sampling. i mean mariah carey sampled Tom Tom Club's "genius of love" for her song "Fantasy" so I cant see why 2NE1 and Big Bang can't do it. but i think people said it was plagiarism cause they didn't credit it iunno that's what people are saying but if it's not for that reason i think it's stupid. Give them a break -_____-
I completely agree. As an artist, I feel very strongly about copyright issues. If you take even little pieces of someone else's work without permission or WITHOUT CREDITING them, then it's plagiarism. It's rude, it's obnoxious AND it's ILLEGAL. I'm a huge fan of Big Bang, G-Dragon and 2NE1 but what they (or YG) have done is really not okay. I mean, if someone obviously used my drawings/photography as a reference and them claimed that it was their own work , I'd be seeing red.
just my opinion...the two songs sound similar but they sound entierly different. i wouldn't call it plagiarism. what i would call plagiarism is dineyra copying SNSD's "Tell Me You Wish." cuz both versions are the exact same.
No wonder this is the only 2NE1 song I like. I'm a supporter of YG don't get me wrong but if they did it they need to fess up or they're gonna get their asses sued til they're broke. If it were just 2NE1 that's accused of this I would blow it off like it's nothing but it's 2NE1 and GD that are accused that can't just be a coincidence.
Are you joking? Lionel Richie is a grammy winning artist do you really think he's going to copy a brand new group? Just because he hasn't won any awards for this song yet it doesn't mean he won't. Just Go was released in March which gave YG more than enough time to hear it and plagiarize it. I'm not saying they did but it's possible.
Plagiarism? This is called Plagiarism? OK that Heartbreaker's rap is similar to Right Round. Some don't call it plagiarism because they think it's only the same beats and doesn't last long. Some think it is enough to be plagiarism. But this is why IDC is also called a copied product? Sorry but WHAT THE FUCK!!!
@MsPearfruit I agree that there is the possibility that all the songs that were "plagiarized" were just coincidences...because who really has the time to listen to a bunch of songs to choose that specific one to plagiarize? I mean, I've heard of songs that have been straight up plagiarized, but I think when it comes to Korea, it's all purely coincidence...I believe we Asians have as much talent as Americans do, so it's not a matter of which country is more talented...music is a universal lang.
YOU OTHER PEIOPLE ARE DUMBASSES..SO WHAT IF IT SOUNSD ALIKE..no the lyrics adn meanings are different. the i dotn care is holded the same time as the JUST GO..but seriously which one sounds better THEYRE DIFFERETN simular and different ahve two meanings you little dumbasses..SHUT THE FUCK UP..
wow...i respect everyone's opinion and stuff, but seriously anyone with any musical ability can see the obvious similarity, just because 2ne1's song is faster doesnt mean it isnt plagiarism.
Listen to the music played in the background. The notes are completely different. Just because the finished product sounds similar in tone doesn't make it a plagiarism. As for the vocals, the words "So you can just jam" and "I don't care" are the only ones that follow the same vocal patterning of notes. Just because they both use repetition of sound in the "Go go go" part and "Care -are -are -are -are -are" part, doesn't make it the same. They are different notes being sung.
well, plagiarism has always been one big grey issue in the music industry, and judging from other companies not getting involved in so many cases while YG on the contrary got into truckloads of plagiarism mess, that would kinda mean something right? But anyway, honest opinion... stop calling ppl names when they post comments against your idols... ittiz starting to get ppl to go anti for your idol...
you're all a bunch of dumbasses. this is blatant plagiarism. different tempo has nothing to do with it. it's all about melodies and phrasing. YG gonna get busted HARD for this. i've seen less similar works forced to give up royalties. this is a slam dunk for copyright lawyers.
how the hell do these 2 songs even compare? I Dont Care has a much higher tempo than Just Go, the only reason why this is being an issue is cause the part when its like Go oh oh oh, is kinda like Care eh eh eh ~are, but 2ne1's is MUCH faster, Song Music are just retards tryna get publicity
people from the US are just threatened because KPOP is very VERY famous right now so they find faults to it esp with YG ent coz they have artists who are known worldwide.. notice why 4minute's "funny" was not reported as plagiarized when it sounded exactly like brittney's "if you seek amy"?? that's because they are only targeting YG ent...
Whateva Even if 2ne1 copied the song which they didn't cause it really sounds different,,, it's so obvious that 2ne1 is way better than Lionel Richie is just finding a way so that people will listen to his music ahahahaha claim it Lionel Richie .:))
its not really similar you people are just jealous and insecure of 2ne1. u better l0ok up the meaning of "PLAGIARISM" in a dictionary before u say a word.. first of all you must think before u say something. ok the meaning of plagiarism.
to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own
to use (another's production) without crediting the source
to commit literary theft
plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
Seriously, Just Go and IDC are two different songs and it's not plagiarized as what stupid people are thinking. As Teddy said "Just because the 'feel' is the same doesn't mean it's ripped off the same song." I play many instruments and IDC is one heck of a unique song. It's very catchy and I love it.
dis is all i can say .. there are many songs that has the same beats .. rhythm .. etc .. and some add a little spice to there song .. by adding some parts of the other songs .. u people whose behind this are just insecure of what they have just done and proved to us .. so if ur a narrow minded person better shut ur mouth ..
i think if people would go through and compare all the american songs out till this day, you would find tons and tons of songs taht have similar beats/rhythms/etc to each other. it always goes over looked but when someone points it out, everyone goes all insane about it. i think its unfair for korean artists these days and how they are getting crap for "plagiarism". ㅅㅂ.
same rhythm and the melody is almost the same except lionel richie's song goes up in melodic sequence rather than stay in unison and the tempo is faster on the 2ne1 one.
I have to say not PLAGIARIZED I have to say when you plagiarized its like copying lots of parts of the song but then looks at that its just the beat that looks similar!
It is stealing but gosh do you think listening to musics right now are different some do have similarities. I would to recommend you at listening LOLLIPOP by Lil wayne, 3 6 mafia and Bigbang/2NE1 ... So you mean Lil wayne plagiarized Lollipop by 3 6 mafia? and BB and 2NE1 plagiarized it by Lil wayne vice versa just by that almost all song have almost have near tunes but they are still different!
That was just a beat and woah big dealing it won't make the father or mother of music proud! gosh guys it was never a bid deal. Koreans have there own and thats theirs and American's has there own too. I am ASIAN but I don't deffend anyone each music are amazing and I resepct it so just let it go!
particularly speaking, is it really a big deal? I mean it's like a 20-30 second snippet with a similar beat. it's interesting, but not a big big big big deal. so many songs soud similar so why point it out now? artists take from artists all the time, companies are just being weird for getting angry. honestly, so many songs out there sound alike
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As a lover of music from all parts of the world, I would say this song is plagiarized for sure.
The first time I heard this song by 2ne1, I thought I heard it somewhere before, and now that I see this video comparing it to Lionel, I can see why I felt this way. I think in Korea people are not familiar with older pop music, so song writers can get away with a lot of things. Song writers should not take advantage of the fact that people are unfamiliar to some kind of music....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So, it is now clear for eveyone to see that I made a fair, free,& honest Opinion with every right just like everyone else here& said that I thought it was clearly a plagiarism, like other have already done.
AND, it is also clear for all to see that rewill21 could not accept another person's valid opinion & had to send name calling abusive personal messages & making up his own nonsense rules & saying that I cannot say that it is "plagiarism". What a confused & immature loser :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You see rewill21, you are just a Crying HURTING LOSER who cannot accept other people's VALID OPINION. So you think all these people are related to "Sony" & they should not be allowed to state their valid opinion?? You clearly said any opinion that clearly says it is a plagiarism is a "judgement" which is not allowed. Do you remember yourself saying this nonsense??? hahaha..Keep HURTING loser. Everything you said so far does not make any sense & has been exposed for what it is. hahaha...
I think the "I just wanna go" and "I don't care" tune is the same..
Anyways... 2NE1'S SONG IS STILL THE BEST!!

OMG...another section full of ignorants....remember these singers have connections and could talk to one another about using the song and its style....its not plagiarism...ITS PERMISSION...
MrJulianJplay 2 years ago
@MrJulianJplay, it sounds like you're the ignorant one. If YG had the permission, why didn't they give credit to where it's due? And if they had connections and did actually "talk to one another" about this, why would Sony have accused YG of plagiarism?
LeatherBee 2 years ago
why did Sony not take any action? Perhaps because there isn't enough for them to go on? It's perfectly possible for two people to come up with the same idea independent of each other; that, in itself, of course, doesn't immediately mean that plagiarism didn't occur, but it does mean that simply listening to a song (unless there is huge similarity) is not enough to go on (detailed analysis is needed).
ngahuaiae 2 years ago
cont. I don't know, and have no way of knowing, whether plagiarism actually occurred, and neither do any of you here (at least not with so much certainty). Three things could have happened, intentional plagiarism (the fact that the composer involved is reputable, and I imagine has enough self-respect and wouldn't want to bring harm to anyone involved, makes it highly unlikely), unintentional plagiarism (he heard the song a long time ago, and it influenced his music without him knowing), or
ngahuaiae 2 years ago
cont.2 or simply coincidence (coming up with a song that is similar to another (especially when the similarity isn't that great) is hardly impossible; considering that until it's release a song is only heard by a handful of people, they just simply might not pick up on the similarity, and the situation can be as innocent as that). In other words, people should avoid jumping to conclusions, and use their brain just a little bit more (or if they aren't too smart, perhaps keep quiet)...

@ngahuaiae "unintentional plagiarism (he heard the song a long time ago, and it influenced his music without him knowing)" <- you're right, hat could very well be the case here :) While I do agree that it is nearly impossible to come up with a COMPLETELY original song, I think that these two songs are too alike to be a coincidence. They just changed a few things here and there but other that that, there isn't much of a difference.

dahsyadd01 2 years ago
i dont think its plagiarism unless the songs are EXACTLY the same, like lyrics and err'thang. its just the instrumental, so its like sampling. i mean mariah carey sampled Tom Tom Club's "genius of love" for her song "Fantasy" so I cant see why 2NE1 and Big Bang can't do it. but i think people said it was plagiarism cause they didn't credit it iunno that's what people are saying but if it's not for that reason i think it's stupid. Give them a break -_____-
datasiangurl 2 years ago
You can say that
But I would be freaking p#ssed when someone claims its theirs when I made it.
Sample-ing COSTS MONEY. AND when you are JUST USING it (PLAGIARISM) then you SAY its yours without PAYING.
Its all about ADMITTING you are using someone else's creativity.
And then paying a little piece of it.
Its not that big of a deal IF YOU PAY.
And IF iTS EXACTLY the same , THEN ITS A COVER ...
JPMusics 2 years ago
@JPMusics
I completely agree. As an artist, I feel very strongly about copyright issues. If you take even little pieces of someone else's work without permission or WITHOUT CREDITING them, then it's plagiarism. It's rude, it's obnoxious AND it's ILLEGAL. I'm a huge fan of Big Bang, G-Dragon and 2NE1 but what they (or YG) have done is really not okay. I mean, if someone obviously used my drawings/photography as a reference and them claimed that it was their own work , I'd be seeing red.
LeatherBee 2 years ago
Finally someone who sees it just as I do.
I mean the real CREATOR put a lot of work into making his creativity something that can be SEEN/HEARED.
And to just TAKE a piece of it as a free sample, really p#sses me off.
I mean YG and the ARTISTS got A LOT OF MONEY!
So pay, or think of something yourself :D

Are you joking? Lionel Richie is a grammy winning artist do you really think he's going to copy a brand new group? Just because he hasn't won any awards for this song yet it doesn't mean he won't. Just Go was released in March which gave YG more than enough time to hear it and plagiarize it. I'm not saying they did but it's possible.

Plagiarism? This is called Plagiarism? OK that Heartbreaker's rap is similar to Right Round. Some don't call it plagiarism because they think it's only the same beats and doesn't last long. Some think it is enough to be plagiarism. But this is why IDC is also called a copied product? Sorry but WHAT THE FUCK!!!

@MsPearfruit I agree that there is the possibility that all the songs that were "plagiarized" were just coincidences...because who really has the time to listen to a bunch of songs to choose that specific one to plagiarize? I mean, I've heard of songs that have been straight up plagiarized, but I think when it comes to Korea, it's all purely coincidence...I believe we Asians have as much talent as Americans do, so it's not a matter of which country is more talented...music is a universal lang.

Listen to the music played in the background. The notes are completely different. Just because the finished product sounds similar in tone doesn't make it a plagiarism. As for the vocals, the words "So you can just jam" and "I don't care" are the only ones that follow the same vocal patterning of notes. Just because they both use repetition of sound in the "Go go go" part and "Care -are -are -are -are -are" part, doesn't make it the same. They are different notes being sung.

well, plagiarism has always been one big grey issue in the music industry, and judging from other companies not getting involved in so many cases while YG on the contrary got into truckloads of plagiarism mess, that would kinda mean something right? But anyway, honest opinion... stop calling ppl names when they post comments against your idols... ittiz starting to get ppl to go anti for your idol...

its not really similar you people are just jealous and insecure of 2ne1. u better l0ok up the meaning of "PLAGIARISM" in a dictionary before u say a word.. first of all you must think before u say something. ok the meaning of plagiarism.
to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own
to use (another's production) without crediting the source
to commit literary theft
plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

Seriously, Just Go and IDC are two different songs and it's not plagiarized as what stupid people are thinking.

As a lover of music from all parts of the world, I would say this song is plagiarized for sure.
The first time I heard this song by 2ne1, I thought I heard it somewhere before, and now that I see this video comparing it to Lionel, I can see why I felt this way. I think in Korea people are not familiar with older pop music, so song writers can get away with a lot of things. Song writers should not take advantage of the fact that people are unfamiliar to some kind of music....
