James Durbin thinks Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" rips off Kiss

[therealbologna2]

too bad Kiss LOVES gaga. I dont think she ripped off Kiss. EOG is a really good song.

[Luv2Rock333]

Omg why is he so perfect?? :/

[MsAuntMary]

@MageDagger Agreed.

[MageDagger]

I respect his opinion, but if people were to really know the situation behind 'similar sounds' he is just another stubborn person feeling violated or insecure about copying. Gaga and Kiss are two different musicians, and they're entitled to their own music. Gaga is too good for him. No wonder he lost.

[GagaFan4Life13]

Yea he said take A Look because Know Fucking Body Knows That Song 

[sasha07775]

What a jerk. Most musicians do not put down each other, they support one another or keep quite. This 21 year old think he know it all. Good luck in the music industry with that attitude!

[spencerruefus]

who else do you not like James please tell us. geeze just shut the fuck up

[spencerruefus]

What a dick, people borrow shit from other songs all the time, so glad he didn't win too much of a fuckin ego.

[MechaFright]

if he has tourettes, where are his tics? like, what even are they?

[MrCyanideViolence]

this is why James Durbin is metal..to be in metal you gotta say what you think and not give a fuck about what everyone else thinks

[MageDagger]

@MrCyanideViolence

Oh, so that's why people like him are delusional. Thanks, didn't know ;)

... if anything "born this way" and "express yourself" by madonna should be compared. also, "fashion of his love" by gaga sounds like it's essentially an unproduced madonna song. Sheisse also sounds totally madonna. To me, "marry the night" and "you and i" are the only ones that feel truly original.

okay i just went into this whole rant about lady gaga/ madonna/ comparisons + ripoffs... sorry people.

[i961000]

I respect James' opinion and think he's a great musician and person but... I disagree that Lady Gaga ripped of Sure Know Something. That makes no sense. I know that she's said that she's familiar with Kiss music but I don't think if one line ("tonight yeah baby") sounds somewhat like "and i sure know something" that means that Gaga ripped it off.. a lot of lines in songs sound like that + that's the ONLY similarity. the restofthesong is completely different. hear for urself on youtube....

[JoshuaSkye]

Kiss = over-hyped, over-indulged hacks quite derivative themselves.

[bricrisel]

haha its so funny how everytime he stops talking for a split sec he frowns and his bottom lip gets really big..lol wonderful singer

[JamesDurbins1stfan]

James is so amazing!! And for all you haters who don't like him, Don'y not like him just because he speaks his mind! He's one of the only famous people who has the balls tospeak his mind about other famous peeps, and we should love him for it!! I surely do!!

[Crystasorrow]

I like how James has some balls and isn't afraid to say this. He's no kiss-ass either, and will do his own thing. Bring some originality into music James.

[carrollstreetboy]

I love James Durbin! My personal opinion is that James did not win AI10 because he is not afraid to say what he thinks. The AI winner needs to be a company person...

[crombieguy92]

I try and try to like this guy but he is just way to into himself. And please, stop with the "rock o"n sign in every picture.

[Crystasorrow]

@crombieguy92 you do realize the guy has tourettes and aspergers syndrome? show some respect -_- it's his opinion also. he has a right to it.

[11gothicprincess]

I love how James isn't afraid to state his opinion! I listened to the comparison between the Kiss song and Lady Gaga's song and he's right, they sound exactly alike. Just goes to show how mainstream music these days has no originality and I don't blame James for feeling uncomfortable about her touching him. She had no right to do that. He's happily engaged and doesn't want some skank touching his butt. You rock James! You'll be the one to bring back some decent music! :)

[teddybear4422]

james is the best!!!

[XxsupermedicatedxX]

i also noticed that the chorus to so happy i could die sounds alot like pocket full of sunshine or whatever haha

[TheRenegadewoman]

Really glad he has some balls......nothing worse than a suck up !!! And for any and all Haters out there ........HE has a right to his opinion too !

[predador21]

This guy has some major balls. He's not Idol and mainstream product. He's rock product!

[ChrisLuvsCook]

I think James Durbin should have won !!! He is a very good musician on and off the stage and a great family man with good values. Very nice guy and his voice ROCKS !!!!
