"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.
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
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.
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.
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!!!!!!!!
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
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
@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.
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.
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.
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'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..
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.
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.
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
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.
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...)
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.
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.
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
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
@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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...)

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.

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, 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.

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.

@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.
