[ico80]

many songs sounds like another song. This is happening constantly in "pop" music when the "vocabulary" of music is limited.

When they create "catchy" songs for consumption with usual patterns like F G A (or fa sol la) or #F+ #C+ it's natural to get glimpses of other songs here and there.

[xerogr]

they are similar if not the same but i don't think its complex enough to not be by accident

:)

continue flaming...

[Fullmetal12234]

PEOPLE ARE YOU FUCKING JOCKING????

Pls people who cannot understand the music do not bother commenting... keep your opinion to your self!! IF even one of you could understand the tones he would have figured out that this songs ARE NOT SAME!!!!SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

bullshit they are not the same.The difference between them is obvious dont you think

Shame that cyprus didnt pass to the finals realy a shame this song diserved a better place in this contest dn peirazei xristinaki!!!!

[teleandr]

fuck you warning !!mpravo xristinaki eskises!!!

[Am0lie]

nai ok . ... emena m lene oti moiazw me tn britney gt exw elia stn astragalo -.-

[dinnae]

Nothing like each other! They only have the same tempo and (I think) are in the same key. Like thousands of other songs!

[YouMakeMyDay13]

they r the same! what a shame!

[ryufrank]

Changing the lyrics of a song is not music.

So sad!

I'd rather see Cyprus disqualify for plagiarising this song, than going through the process of humiliating at the contest by hitting rock bottom.

[soadtr]

this song is STOLEN!!!!EBU REMOVE THIS SONG

[mariacyprusflor]

kamia sxesi ta dio songs ligo stin arxi kati paei na pi ala tipota kamia sxesi to diko mas stin arxi anigoun i notes to simio to opio ipoti8ete oti miazoun eno to warning ine les kai xalase i ki8ra kai den proxora i nota na akousti telia

[constantnos]

So i've gone through both songs a couple of times within the last hour or so.

I have concluded that both songs (in my opinion) are completely different in general, there could be some similarities but isn't this the same with most songs?

[constantnos]

The two songs have nothing to do with each other - words are completely different so i am not sure why people says its stolen - its simply not stolen

Good luck to Christina!

[petertsc]

are you kidding me or are you DEAF!!! can't you here the song it's almost the same??? especially in the introduction.. they are going to get sued and i really hope so.. they can't stole anything from anyone to get the fame..

[constantnos]

Sorry but the WORDS of the two songs have nothing to do with each other, maybe the tune is similar but nothing more than that.

[petertsc]

Excuse me constantinos but i can also take titanic song "my heart will go on" and change the WORDS and LITTLE BIT the music and then go to eurovision.

[petertsc]

they are not going to win or even get a good place to the eurovision song contest (αισιχτιρ μανταμ μη χε....) and it was time because as we are saying here in cyprus έπαιξε πολλά το απαρί τους και να κάτσουν τι μάπα χαμέ

[petertsc]

και της παρθενώπης της Χριστίνας του αδερφού της του ψώνιου του Νικολα και της Τσολάκενας που να δούμε πόσους μαθητές απηλήσε για να ψηφίσουν την παρθενώπη την κόρη της)

[yourtaste]

HAHAHAHAHHA INCUBUS ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY SONG EVER WRITTEN AND PLAYED ON ANY 'Eurovision Song Contest'

[mmaakkiinn]

I agree with aggel..there are just snip-its that sound the same.. I have also heard similar beats and notes like these from COLDPLAY and U2.. my point is that artist use similar chords when writing songs with a rock beat..because that is what these artists are doing ..there are a specific amount of beats and chords that they can use..so I guess you can say that many rock songs sound alike..but they are different..because of choice of words, arrangment, the song is good and I wish it does well

[aggelxx]

you don't even show us the whole song! you have just included the two parts that seem similar....just 20 seconds...well, guess what! the song lasts 3 minutes...it's not just those 20 seconds that you keep repeating in your video editing...but still anyone can see that the two songs are completely different!!

[jimakooos]

the girl is much better from the stupid band!! wtf

[faezdel]

All I can say is these Incubus boys make me puke. They are a horrible band!

[c81music]

actually EBU did not say that it is NOT a copy, they said the problem was pointed out too late and if they decide something it will be after the deadline and so it COULD be disqualified at a later stage. secondly i am a greek cypriot. third, i'm not gaining anything from this i'm just showing the similarities. i'm not showing the whole song because it's irrelevant. i think you only need 8 consecutive notes to prove a copy. and no i am not the one who started (said it) it in the first place.

[skybluem]

The leaders of delegations in a meeting held last week gathered to decide on various issues. Among them it was the issue with Georgia's entry that finally withdrew not accepting to change the lyrics or enter with a different song.If there was an issue with Cyprus it wouldn't be late to raise it.Nothing came up and all this with being a copy is just negative publicity.You accept that the whole song is irrelevant.We take part  with a 3 mins song and not 15 secs.

[aclotm098]

either way, warning is a FAR better song

incubus still reigns victorious

[skybluem]

since you want to show us that 'Firefly' is a copy of Warning why don't u have the guts to upload the entire song in order to show us the so called plagiarism??

Instead of that u keep repeating the same 15 seconds within a song of 3 minutes. And no it's not a copy since it's approved anyway by European Broadcasting Union. You achieve simply nothing with ur video editing. I can find u thousands of songs that have similarities just by coincidence.

[simsdan001]

ppl are so stupid this is A COPY(FIREFLY IS A COPY FROM WARNING) is not to decide who is the best

[nenamasotti]

warning is one of the most amazing incubus' songs, and this girl's kinda suck, but I mean... whatever.

[mar0705]

get a life for GOD sake! what are you trying to get out of this? have some respect! you are only doing this because we are greek cypriots isnt it? learn something then! we are BETTER! no matter what you say!

[renosfanis]

Το τραγουδι Firefly μοιαζει σε καποιες μονο νοτες στην αρχη με το Warning.Συνολικα καμια σχεση.Στο κατω κατω πολλα τραγουδια μοιαζουν σε 3-4 νοτες.Σιγα το πραγμα.Νομιζετε πως και το Warning δεν εχει στοιχεια παρομοια με αλλα τραγουδια? ΕΛΕΟΣ.Το δικο μας This our night δε μοιαζει με αλλα ?

[rightload]

come on! they are so different!

big fuss for nothing if you ask me. it's the media trying to manufacture news.

'firefly' is beautiful.

[leadguitarCA]

no, it's crap! Warning is better!

Unbelievable, changed the minor to major theme of the Incubus song, make it a bit up tempo, and walla! you've got yourself the perfect recipe for a Eurovision song... ;)

[Nefigreenday]

that's not true

[angelassol]

watch the new version of the song among with the official video clip

Well,firefly is a much better song i think!

[walkers93]

i know christina's mom ....and she said that the song firefly is sponsored by SONY BMG INTERNATIONAL ...... they said to her that no need to worry..... and the song is going to eurovision ..... end of the discussion ....... ;p

[Kyriotatos]

apparently shes taking singing lessons (3 times a day !! LOL

I wonder why ;-)

[PARAZARELLE]

Why all this hatred? I don't get it.

[andlouc]

they were a fake from the begginning, they rigged the contest in febuary, stole the song, her brother boasting abiut it at xfactor. its about time they learnt their lesson, i just hope the judges outside cyprus for the eurovison are are aware of this and have some more sense than the ones in cyorus who influenced by money!! FAKE THROUGH AND THROUGH!!

[PARAZARELLE]

What are you on about? What money?

[Viyasan]

absolute bullshit that thief, its so obvious as well. you can here the warning tune in the background haha

[Kyriotatos]

too close to be a coincidence...

you just have to hear it to understand..

no need to be super-musical ;-)

i think its suspicious...hmm...

[Christi0v]

One thing is very clear to me:

Incubus sound WAY better!!!!

Ok....so, if the composer didn't copy the song...... at least he must admit that he was inspired by Incubus' song

[TGxDarkMaverick]

incubus ftw...

[patrincubus]

COPY!!!

And a BAD copy........cause yap, only 4 notes...but repeating them again and again the whole time

shit!!!!! Shame of Firefly!!

INCUBUS RULES!!!!

[leadguitarCA]

YEAAAAH!

[walkers93]

it's not the same u people .......

its sounds but its not .........

its only have the tone for 3 seconds only

[reneecy]

Incubus: d# b a# b

Firefly: g# e d# e-b

WHERE IS THE COPY???

there is no copyright infringement or plagiarism here...

[reneecy]

I am writing this under my name! not any others! be careful what u accuse and say please

[reneecy]

That's what I wrote. its same note progression from d# to g#... but does it constitute plagiarism? that's the big question and hard to prove. Coincidence is possible... Behind firefly its like Emajor, Bmajor, A major and then Incubus goes B major/A major... In fact really now I dont know...

In 2008 there was a big claim Paolo Meneguzzi copy of Amy Diamond - and nothing happen. Im afraid this case here is not as strong so I feel that nothing will happen even if he did..

[queenmusicfreak86]

to thema einai oti efkola i faltsa tragoudistria pou dialekse i kypros, tha kanei to g# na akougetai d# k ekei tha yparxei provlima :P :P

[reneecy]

akrivws. and the song is accepted by EBU I suspect there is never was a problem..

[Sfikou]

it sounds similar to me but not the same

[feirouge]

OMG

[astanapane137]

hahaha ...its not enough that she cant sing in tune the song isnt....Original!its sounds so much alike in thebeginning...Of course incubus version is much better!!!

[deessay]

MMMMMMMMMM....sounds the same to me!!!

[MamianDc]

so it sounds the same on just two tones wtf?

[kapiosk]

shouldnt there this be a violation of copyright law or something..?

[justaphasebizarre]

Unlike BB the girl cant sing. I cant watch it to the end, my ears are hurting.
