  • who is Kelly Clarkson?

  • Who is she?

  • "I don't even know who Arcade fire is!" Besides the point. Just because you never heard of them because you have a shitty taste in music doesn't mean she didn't copy them. She obviously did copy them.Not just the chord pregression it's the melody too. don't give me that "If they were good they would be popular" crap either. Just because they aren't sell outs doesn't mean their not good.

    I would have loved to see this guys reaction when they won album of the year at the grammys.

  • Her newest single is a direct copy of Bruno Mars Just The Way You Are. She is a copyholic.

  • Stop talking. You make gays look bad. 

  • Arcade Fire's worst song shits on Kelly's whole discography. Just sayin' *hairflip*

    You're just another narrow-minded troll, but I'm cool with it. After all, people like you make me feel smart.

  • Maybe we would trust your musical opinion if you knew about more music than what is on the radio... you twat.

  • Lol I agree with this Guy completely omggg. Seriously Kelly Clarkson a fading star? Stfu. Before this shit I didn't even know who arcade fire was. Kelly>arcade fire just fucking saying

  • It's funny because he's stupid! :')

  • Kelly Clarkson is a fading star (and that's putting it nicely), Arcade Fire are consistently good and are getting bigger and bigger. GET OVER IT DRAG QUEEN

  • When has Kelly Clarkson played with David Bowie? Oh yeah that's right, never, because David Bowie plays with motherfuckers who got talent, not dumb bitches who are told what to sing and then massively processed before ending up on some bullshit overpriced CD. Good job telling the world you enjoy shitty music, tard.

  • "Who the fuck knows who Arcade Fire is?"

    Less than 9 months after this video, Arcade Fire wins the Grammy for Album of the Year.

    dibshit

  • A couple of things: 1. You CAN steal chord progressions. 2. She stole the MELODY, not just the chord progression. 3.according to FEDERAL COURT, if more than 6 consecutive notes of a melody are repeated, it's legally stolen. She was well beyond this limit. 4. Arcade Fire is a critically acclaimed, wildly popular, grammy award winning band. The fact that you haven't heard of them means you just don't look into music- their albums are were noted by dozens of critics.

  • "I agree. I don't know who arcade fire is"

    Pure ignorance at it's best.

  • hahahahahha deuces!?

  • LMFAO that was awesome I agree tho.... No idea who arcade fire even is

  • step1. pause the video

    step 2. scroll over to the lonely X button

    step 3. enjoy your life (:

    did it work?

  • Anyway whatever, if she wants to copy other artists, it's her own integrity at risk. What's offensive is this douchebag's suggestion that this was pointed out so that Arcade Fire could grab Kelly Clarkson's fame. It's just ridiculous. Arcade Fire have their own fame, their own fanbase, and whats more, they haven't come through the ranks of a TV show to get where they are.

  • @KCaerosmithGGD16 Are you hearing a different song?! The only way she's even attempted to mask the fact that it is a blatent copy is by shifting it's key. It's the same chord progression, it's the same melody. It is the same core elements of Rebellion, and in most people's books that is a rip-off. Write the verse notes out for her vocal pattern, shift it to A# and boom. Rebellion. Check your tongue, I wouldn't be as dumb as this guy and comment on it if I didn't know what I was talking about

  • Comment removed

  • ONLY the verses sound alike. his point is, how the fuck would someone like Kelly even THINK to copy a song from fuckin Arcade Fire? She wrote a song about how all music sounds the same, targeted at Ryan Tedder who ripped off "Halo" and presented it to her. She has integrity beyond any popstar of this generation, and she has (& writes) TONSSS of songs. It just so happens that this one sounds a bit like another one. She writes a ton of her own lyrics and works her ass off to earn artistic freedom.

  • Cracks me up Arcade Fire won album of the year and still nobody knows who they are. hahaha. They suck. That was the worst Grammys. Everyone was laughing the next day because they never heard of them. The Grammys have lost all credibility. What a joke.

  • @kc1rockqueen they both have talent, it doesn't matter about popularity. you should know that. they deserved the award, but it does not matter if ppl know them or not. at least they are doing what they absolutely love doing, not being a sellout like her. you don't believe that the songs sound similar, because you refuse to believe it. for example.... remember Maps? Remember Halo? Recently Rebellion(Lies). Sigh... this is why I hate mainstream fans... Goodnight and Good Day :)

  • @kc1rockqueen You could not...literally could not..have less of an idea of what you're talking about.

  • @TheSlevinCalevra he has an idea, its just retarded.

  • All she does is sing, they play their own instruments. This saddens me, I used to like KC but.... Listen to Rebellion then Naked Eye, and tell all the other million AF fans that they don't sound alike, and they won a grammy for album of the year(best day ever) and now you know who they are

  • this guy's a fool. it seems like everyone who listens to pop music has recently had to learn a new defense to how awful their music is, so they all bring up how "tons of songs use the same chord progression." what an uneducated thing to say. sure you can't copyright them, but it's not about progressions, it's about melody, bro. and you can blatantly steal melodies, which i'm sure she did.

  • I can see why this fellow has never heard of Arcade Fire.

  • LEGENDARY! hahahaha! Kelly fans FTMFW! I dont know anything about the song ur on about cos i havent heard the leaks, nor have I really heard much about Arcade Fire. I dont even know who they are so haha. I couldnt help but laugh at this video tho. At the end of the day every song can be compared & 'sounds' like another song out there. There's BILLIONS of songs out there. Music is down to lyrics, not just melody. Get.Over.It. KC wins everytime.

  • Arcade Fire: Better thn Lady Gag, Lady A, Eminem, and Katy Perry.

    Everyone knows who they are know

  • apples vs oranges. quit trying to compare music and just listen to some of everything. Some of everything is good

  • 147 are Arcade Fire fans (:

  • Just won Album of the Year. The Grammys are a joke, but still.

  • 3 Other people who know who they are?

    They headlined Reading and loads of other huge festivals all around the world.

    In the last year they'll have played to more people than Kelly Clarkson has in her entire life, I don't have anything against Kelly Clarkson but this video is an absolute joke, I think Deryck, you need to watch this video back and realise how much of a stereotype this makes you look like.

  • I love arcade fire, and I think that you all should accept that. He's just pissed because there are people like us who notice things like that. I'm not cutting down anybody, but why exactly should people copy not only chords, but melodies as well? Chord progressions are a gimmie, but she even used the melody from Rebellion on her own verses as well.

  • You're why people don't like mainstream music fans.

  • pause the video and then press 9 5 9 5 9 5

  • I totally agree with you. I had never heard of Arcade Fire, now that I listened to them, they are off key and pretty much suck!

  • @kc1rockqueen Yes epic a word you could never use. Just because no one has heard of them doesn't mean they are a bad band.

  • @WTWTAFan

    I listened to them and they are a horrible band. Not epic. The Beatles and Stones are epic. Arcade Fire suck! Get a clue. What are you 15? hahaha.

  • @kc1rockqueen Actually i am 15. And The Beatles are also epic. Arcade Fire and The Beatles two epic bands.

  • @WTWTAFan

    You must be only 15 if you actually think that Arcade Fire is epic!

  • @kc1rockqueen I met kelly but i was 7 at the time.

  • @kc1rockqueen People of all ages think Arcade Fire are epic.. BECAUSE THEY ARE

  • @katiedid1023

    You need to look up epic in the dictionary. They blow.

  • Arcade Fire is an epic band!! You wouldn't know good music if it came and slap'ed you in the face.

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe not chord progressions, but when its the exact same fucking melody?! She didn't even bother to change the order of the chord progressions! And if there is no problem with it, why did her label take it off YouTube?

    No-one likes drama-queen barbies like you. Nobody in the world. But when you intend to piss off a load of music fans, try not to piss off the ones that actually know what they're talking about.

  • @QuarantineThePast No, its actually not the same melody, and her label took it off Youtube (along with about a dozen other leaks) because they were stolen off her computer and sold online. So, no, you don't know what you're talking about. Thats the funny thing about this... this song is a rough demo that leaked without ANY permission from Kelly or the label.

  • were going to need a pretty big corner.

  • Never heard of the losers. Kelly is known internationally. Clarkson's voice is amazing, and she writes great songs. She has the song writing awards to prove it.

  • Arcade Fire headlined Lollapalooza, drawing a crowd in the tens of thousands. Kelly Clarkson couldn't draw that crowd if she tried. She even had to cancel her tour cuz no one wanted to see her!

  • @snowheyoh321

    She canceled one tour because her manager set them up in 50 thousand capacity stadiums. She fired that manager. Clarkson just got finished a very successful international tour a few months ago. You don't know what you are talking about. See her live in concert. You will shut your mouth about her talent. She f*cken rocks!!!!!!!!!

  • @kc1rockqueen

    I agree, she has a beautiful voice. I was just pointing out how quite a few people like Arcade Fire, since you claimed no one knows who they are, and they are more capable than she is to draw a big crowd

  • Yes, 3 people know who Arcade Fire are, that's why they just headlined the biggest rock festival in the UK.

  • You are a complete douche-bag. Werther its mainstream or not is irrelevant. SHE STOLE THEIR CHORDS. Maybe if she had the ability to write a song, then this wouldn't be a problem.

    This was never about popularity either because they had a number one album not song long ago douche-bag. You seriously are the worst person in the world. Your like Goeballs of the Gay's

  • bro is right about one thing, no one owns chord progressions, also, arcade fire is mainstream

  • Comment removed

  • You're a perfect example of why people hate gays. The poor man's Chris Crocker.Get over yourself, queen.

  • @ronburgandy00 Actually, bigots hate gay people because they're sheltered dipshits, but nice try!

  • @ronburgandy00 And you're the perfect example of why homophobs search youtube videos seeking to insult gay people instead of living their own lives. PS most "people" dont hate gays, redneck.

  • @ronburgandy00 wow really? you're an idiot! this video is really stupid, arcade fire is my favourite band but what's the point of this comment? why would you hate on someone's sexual orientation just because of his opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • Kelly Clarkson rocks. Who the eff is Arcade Fire? I looked them up after all this crap, and they suck. I turned it off. Horrible.

  • LMAO 1:33 - 1:35

    did you just taunt at your computer monitor?

    But honestly, what is the purpose of this video Derek Ryan Roberts?

    you've obviously just insulted a great amount of people who like arcade fire, myself included, so why don't you just keep you're mouth shut with all that negativity.

    And the title is just flat out blasphemous.

  • You, are quite a narrow minded idiot. I (being a so called, "indie bitch"), have to say that I respect mainstream music, when the write their own songs. When they are too dumb to write their own songs, and take other songs and mess it up big time, that's when I get annoyed. She didn't even take the time to change the chord progression to make it seem like she didn't know she was copying them. And, I bet you don't know who the Arcade Fire are so, shut up.

  • But melodies are copyrighted.  You dumb cunt.

  • yeah, who is number one on the billboard chart? here's a hint, it's not kelly fucking clarkson.

  • A lot of people know who Arcade Fire is, they just headlined Lollapalooza in Chicago, which is a massive music festival! Lady Gaga headlined another night, and she's mainstream, so mainstream and indie CAN co-exist.

    But let's not forget that Arcade Fire consist of actual musicians, while most of Kelly's music is written for her.

  • You start out saying that "indie bitches" hate on mainstream & then you turn around to trash indie & those three fans in the corner.

  • You're kind of disgusting. Arcade Fire has absolutely NO need to "hop onto Kelly Clarkson's fame". They have more talent and musical ability than she ever will

  • Hey assholes Kelly Clarkson is much more talented than those indie bitches arcade fire.. Did they win American idol? No. Indie bitch stop hatin.

    Just as sure as I am that president bush intentionally caused hurricane Katrina because he hates black people, I'm sure that the arcade fire used dark indie magic to copy Kelly before she even wrote the song..

    So take that you indie bitches!

  • @laxfreak78 Are you serious?

  • @laxfreak78 ^^^hahaha how can people not tell that this is sarcasm??

  • it wasnt just the chord progressions, it was the rythmn and melody too

  • You are so fucking retarded. Kelly Clarkson gets on her knees to suck the fat cocks of the Arcade Fire. Bitch

  • I seriously laughed out loud as I watched this.

  • well this fruit is definitly not g.ay with his flamboyantnes  shitty spelling : )

  • lol is this guy serious??

  • WHY THIS THING EXIST ?

  • god damn you are annoying. first off arcade fire is an amazing fucking band with a shit ton more creativity than kelly clarkson. I thought she was a good singer but jesus, you make me wanna never listen to her again. and tone down the gayness, you are making me feel embarrassed to be gay. please people, dont think we act like this. and secondly, if arcade fire was unknown, then why are they playing the same venues as john mayer? how about you actually give them a listen and shit.

  • You're fucked. Kelly (or her writer's) have ripped of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beyonce, Arcade Fire, Spoon and more I'm sure. You're annoying. Fuck you.

  • OH, AND SORY FOR DOUBLE POST DOG, BUT WAS WONDERING IF U WER GOING TO MAKE A "YOU CANT COPPY RIGHT A VIDEO STYLE: THE STORY OF HOW NO ONE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT RIHANA COPYING MIA'S BOYZ" VIDEO.

  • THANK YOU FOR THIS INCRED VIDEO I WILL CHERISH THIS FOR EVER

  • Comment removed

  • Uhh yeah are you aware the Arcade Fire is actually pretty mainstream? They're playing two shows at Madison Square Garden this week. And as someone said earlier, their second album went to #2 on the charts. I'll agree with you that there's no ripping off going on here and that no one owns chord progressions.

  • Dude, you're perfect and you made alotta sense to me. <3 You're not exacerbating any negative stereotypes on anything, the 14 ppl who thumbed up that comment are just trying figure things out. Live and let live people, that's whats important. Stop trying to pressure people to fit a mold.

    I know one of the 3 people that like Arcade Fire and I have to admit, Im still on your side. haha.

  • lol. this is hilarious, because your just trying to make a name of yourself off of this "so called, i'm gay, give me a microphone, put me in front of a camera and ill share my opinion!" fame.

    its bullshit.

    And im pretty sure you know this, and just saying this to stir shit up, im not dumb.

    Your attempt is mediocre. and think people should just ignore this

  • No one own chord progressions - true. But why use ones that everyone else uses?

  • I think you need to "shut the fuck up." You give gay people a bad name. I'm embarrassed.

  • there last album wents to number 2 on the US and UK charts, and number 1 in the irish and canadian charts, what the fuck are you talking about? they play at huge festivals to hundreds of thousands of people every summer, i guarantee if arcade fire and kelly clarkson both played at something like say glastonbury arcade fire would be maybe second last of the night while kelly would be on around lunchtime. also arcade fire headlined the first night of oxegen this year ahead of jay-z.

  • Oh yeah, and just to rub your nose in it a little further, Arcade Fire's new record sounds BRILLIANT so far. When you can say the same for Kelly Clarkson, have another pop.

  • Comment removed

  • A LOT of people know who they are.

    arcade fire is actually more relevant to music than kelly clarkson.

    go get some musical taste.

  • Simply embarrassing.

  • I LOVE KELLY CLARKSON!

  • hahahahahahahahahaha

  • Just because you have never heard of Arcade Fire doesnt mean Kelly Clarkson hasnt. Also THATS why they are called INDIE in the first place...And maybe she´s so great to you, cuz she´s coping those masterpieces of ideas that people with INDI(e)VIDUAL backround came up with first.

    Maybe you should try listening to indie music first. Then you will realise how bad mainstream music often is... (not all, i´m not saying all. but yea. most of it...)

  • what is it like to have a vagina?

  • Are you a retard? It doesn't matter how many people have heard of Arcade Fire, the point is, Kelly Clarkson clearly has, and that's why she has copied not only the chord progressions, but the vocal melodies and the structure, near on everything is like for like except the lyrics. She has clearly done so for credibility, something douchebags like you can't understand. She's crap. AF = Heroes. And do everyone a favour. No more videos about this before you know what you are talking about.

  • fake and gay! -_-

  • "Youtube sensation"? Try again.

  • haahaha

    such a good troll

    wow. so many people getting trolled right here

  • You're really ruining the image of gay people, by following every gay stereotype. As well, please learn about music and then comment on it. You know fuck all, you stereotypical cunt.

  • you are the most adorable man in the world and i absolutely love you!! MIDDLE FINGERS out to tall the haterssssssssssssss!!

    BTW to all you fuckers that call him dumb, hes a student at a prestigious UC, so FUCK all yall

  • @ajalverson There are stupid people everywhere.

  • Please don't make videos like this, you just embarrass yourself... you clearly don't know shit about shit

  • who knows who arcade fire is? they only toured with U2, AOL named their album as the best canadien album of the decade, and it made #6 on rolling stones top 100 of the decade. thats who they are, dumbass. its called real music, try it sometime

  • This isnt real, hasnt anyone seen mirror noir?

  • This isnt real... Havent you guys seen Mirror Noir?

  • no you shut up, your dumb. its not just the chord progression that's the same, its the vocal melody. this is like how coldplay got sued by Joe Satriani. there is more than an accidental similarity between these two songs. don't tell people like me to shut up cause there are reasons we criticize mainstream music. You cannot tell me that the lyrics "baby baby baby oh baby" are meaningful. people like Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber are slowing down our evolutionary shift and you don't know shit

  • You go listen to you Kelly Clarkson by yourself because no one else likes fuckin Kelly Clarkson except 12 year-old girls

  • @Hotwingskid2 please. most gay people listen to Kelly too. and a whole lot of teen girls, some straight guys can get into some kelly, and even my mom. so its dumb to debate how "popular" kelly is.... especially when comparing her to some band most people havent heard of.

  • I lost.

  • I want to hit you. really really hard.

  • @cocoapufffsx ditto, and that stupid hair xD

  • great job.

  • You, sir, are just exacerbating all the negative stereotypes of gay men that are out there. I KNOW there are intelligent, cultured, articulate, and insightful gays out there, but sadly you are not one of them. And by making a video like this, you're doing nothing to lift the discrimination against your minority group. I suggest you re-evaluate your behaviour; it kind of sickens me.

  • @naseoj there are all kinds of gay people out there, and im tired of people talking crap about certain kinds. get over it. if that how he is... and if that how i am... and thats how my friend is.... get over it. you can ignore us if you want, but im so tired of people thinking they have to say something about how annoying some gay person is.

  • /mu/ = indie bitches

  • Wait, Kelly Clarkson is still releasing music?

  • You should be banned from ever listening to music.

  • Is this guy serious, because I can't imagine someone being as stupid as this?

  • you are an embarassment

  • Arcade Fire are altstream man. You have no idea about music.

  • DUMBASS.

  • Its not just the chord progression you sack of shit, it's the melody as well. Don't really know why I'm bothering taking 2 minutes of my life (that i'll never get back) on an ignoramus like you, but Arcade Fire happen to be one of the greatest bands in history & Kelly Clarkson is a talentless waste of space aimed at teenage girls & pedophiles.

  • I feel sorry for people like you who will never look beyond the mainstream for music & except the brainless pap (the equivalent of eating McDonalds) that is fed to you by MTV & Commercial radio. Sad that you'll never discover some of the amazing music out there, music that induces the deepest of your emotions & not music by some rich teenage girl whining about her latest high-school crush. A single-celled Amoeba probably has better taste than you... and probably has more brains for that matter

  • You best be trollin', miss

  • BA DUH BA DUUR

  • You dont know who Arcade Fire is because you're a stupid male barbie. Stop.

    Arcade Fire is a masterpiece of a band, please shut your filthy mitten, sir.

  • I LOVE YOU! THANK YOU

  • you make a good point... sorta, but you're a douchebag

  • My dad likes Arcade Fire. His favourite songs are Wake Up and Tunnels. My grandma even knows who they are. Have you been living under a rock? ;) Oh, I don't hate you because you hate them. But they're just plain good music =D

  • i think that you'er just secretly protesting gay rights and don't want to be judged. Kelly Clarkson- FAGS LIKE YOU, Arcade Fire-people who's balls dropped far enough so that they can be heard by not only dogs, but people too.

  • from now on whenever i want a good laugh im coming to this video

  • EYEM A YOOTOOB SENSATIUN!

    

  • you best be trolling

  • retard

  • youtube sensation? mate, you've got 6000 views.

  • you look like an aryan, hitler youth superboy, son

  • I think Arcade Fire is probably just as - if not more popular than Kelly Clarkson

  • Whiny Indiebitches vs. outraged angryfag.. who do I root for?

    

  • haha good trolling.

  • It's sad that you're honestly convinced of your own bullshit. Some vapid, talent-free pop princess needs the most critically acclaimed rock band of the '00s more than they need her, believe me. They're friends with Davids Byrne and Bowie. Queers with real taste listen to these artists, by the way, in case you're going to pretend not to have heard of them, too. Get a clue, Derek. P.S., You're not a YouTube sensation with 5k views.

  • I hope this is just a sarcastic video.

  • arcade fire is pretty mainstream bro

  • Y U HATIN ON ME, Y U HATIN ON ME???///////?

  • Yea, no one knows about Arcade Fire..or the three Grammy awards they've been nominated for..stupid queer

  • Comment removed

  • I HAVENT LISTENED TO EITHER SONGS THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO... BUT I WILL SAY THAT YOU, @DEREKRYANROBERTS, ARE MY SPIRIT ANIMAL FOR THE DAY <3

  • A self-proclaimed "youtube sensation" with "bad hair" (?) doesn't have only 5,000 views. You gotta earn it, bro. And - AND - you owe must of your views to Carles from Hipster Runoff. Let me know when you come up with a relevant topic.

  • majestic head bob

  • This man is obviously very insecure.

  • This man is obviously very insecure.

  • If Kelly Clarkson is greater than Arcade Fire, why did she rip them off (that if she even writes her own stuff)?

    Also, if Arcade Fire were interested in being famous, don't you think they'd be doing the bland, swallow and unoriginal music that appeals to the masses (that you like)? Do you actually think how good a musician is is measured by how famous they are and/or how much they sell?

    You are so clueless.

  • you are literally retarded

  • how would arcade fire be trying to hop on to kelly clarksons fame ...that would make sense if arcade fire's song sounded exactly like kelly clarkson and all the members got fat and sold out

  • how would arcade fire be trying to hop on to kelly clarksons fame ...that would make sense if arcade fire's song sounded exactly like kelly clarkson and all the members got fat and sold out

  • How did the myth that gay men are on the cultural cutting edge develop? Gay men are totally homogeneous and adopt anything popular blindly. You really cannot find a less culturally interesting group of people.

  • @kcphila probably because gay men are awesome and things are only good to the extent that they are gay? Maybe crack a Paris is Burning sometime?

  • @kcphila You're making generalizations about an entire group of people based on one guy and stereotypes............gay men are known to be on the cutting edge because they don't get much of a choice when it comes to rebelling against society and they kind of get a head start, and when you're internally different from 90% of the world you might see things differently.

  • @edgarae1

    how is lapping up corporate machine pop "rebelling against society"

  • @kcphila make that 95%
