  • omg that boy in tha video is dinia ross's son

  • You guys are deaf if you don't hear the similarities between this and 2NE1. Same keys, same chord progression...I mean sure, with so many musicians out there, it COULD be a coincidence...but as a musician myself, there's high chance of plagiarism.

  • Just because the lyric pattern is samey.. Totally different song to 'i dont care'... totally different style!!! Wish Sony would leave YG entertainment alone!!

  • i love this song and if they dont like it they can go fuck them selfs

  • frankly, I hear no similarity....I must be tone-deaf or it really doesn't exist....

  • You know what? i don't care*, lets just go* and enjoy the music from 2ne1 and lionel richie, ok?

  • i love 2ne1 but honestly.. i do think this is plagiarism worthy. It has a different feel and image, but the verses and chorus are very similar.

  • Jeez -.-

    I CAN hear the melody is A BIT similar to I don't care, but...it's not that similar.

    It's two different songs!

    Btw, 2NE1 rules.

  • In my opinion, I think this is plagiarism worthy and 2ne1 should be the one being accused because "Just Go" was released earlier than "I Don't Care."

  • I'm not a hater but I find YG getting into these plagiarism conflicts very often and usually its on them. Songs such as "Lies" by Big Bang or "Heartbreaker" by G-Dragon.

  • Similar to 2NE1 is certain parts of the melody but hardly something that accounts for plagarism.

  • wtf doesnt sound anything similar :facepalm: americans love to power trip

  • Sony and Lionel Richie need to get over themselves...why is it okay for Americans to steal music/scripts/movies (i.e. Diablo Cody) from other countries and ruin them, but when something another country comes out with sounds "similar" they go nuts?

  • 2NE1's song Dont Care may aswell be similar to a Megadeath song because there is singing in both of them, this isnt anything like 2NE1 in my opinion

  • such a good song

  • it's not really similar to I don't care by 2NE1 but it doesn't mean that both of them are totally different, just some part of the rhythm, i just said that -3

  • hha oh i jus went to search 2ne1's i dont care .. and to be honest i dont find anything majorly similar about these 2 songs -.-' ....

  • Its somewhat similar But I've heard tons of song that have similar Tunes. I still Love 2NE1<3 they rock! just hope theres nothing thats even similar in the future

  • Comment removed

  • ill admit theres like a small similarity between the two choruses but the verse are completely diffrent..

  • Wow, really? The songs are nothing alike! I mean, some parts, they KIND of sound the same, but that's like comparing a mouth to a beak. They're both mouths.. but nothing alike. Since when does Universal listen to Korean music?

  • fuck your own shiTTT hommmmmIEEEEEE

    LOL..

  • WTF?

    I don't find any similarities at all between 2NE1's I don't Care and Lionel's Just Go.

  • it's not same

  • Haha so funny everyone is just watching the music video to see if there's really similarities with 2NE1's song^^

    I think the chorus indeed kind of sounds the same

    No need to compare both songs, it's just totally different styles anyway

    But there might have been so plagiarism from YG

  • Why don't you compare America's population to Korea's? It's a 1:7 ratio, obviously more people are going to know of him. Not only that but he speaks English, the most internationally known language. Trust me, if 2ne1 was American and/or spoke English like this person has the advantage of, they'd be 10x more famous than this random.

  • wtf. -_-

    some retarded idol group over a legend? youve got to be kidding. and im korean. i actually know more about lionel richie than some randome idol group out of like another hundred groups.

  • LOL. you are entitled to your opinion but so is everybody else here so I will add my opinion. I think your argument is ridiculous. I don't know what generation you were born in but I'm a fan of 2NE1 and I'm fairly young but even I know Lionel Richie is a musical legend. I can't believe you just made that scenario and thinks it makes any sense lol.

  • Lionel Richie has done a great tune here. i dont know where you all think that 2ne1s, i dont care, sound similar.

    Lionel has pulled off a great relaxing song that you can tap your feet to, maybe even a wedding song to the right couple

  • Yes indeed, it DOES sound like 2NE1's "I Don't Care", but it's not plagiarism. There's big differences in the way the chorus is sung amongst the fact that the main verses sound NOTHING like the verses in 2NE1's song. The "I don't care eh eh eh eh" part is close knit together, while Lionel Richie's skips one in between and is much slower. The beat also sounds different, while 2NE1 has a more upbeat sound to it that you could dance to, this is a reggae style song you could just relax to.

  • They attacked Big Bang for plagiarism too. I don't understand why its okay for american musicians who steal songs completely and get away with it. Like that one song by Jason Derulo: Whatcha Say, he totally stole the chorus from Imogen Heap and he's making a ton of money off it.

  • He didn't copy it. He sampled it. Sampling is done all the time in music.

  • I love K-Pop and a lot of 2NE1's/YG Entertainment's songs....but I Don't Care sounds waaaay to similar for this whole issue to be an accident...

  • Exactly. Its NOT ok. and Im a musician too and whoever said its complete plagiarism Im a musician, I know? Not to be rude, but you dunt. They didnt plagiarize it. Its different. Compare tha two and listen to them closely.

  • obviously they deny it, but there is a chance that YG entertainment have heard of this song before. LOL

  • Yeah, and I agree. I'm not saying they did or didn't, but after hearing both songs back to back and on top of each other, I feel it's to similar for it to be an accident.

  • I dont think so that 2ne1´s song I dont care has copied the song, because it doesnt even sound similar!!! 2NE1 did it much better, and.. who is Lionel Richie?????? I´ve never heard it before till i saw it read it on wikipedia!

  • wtf? it doesnt matter if 2NE1 did it much better or not. it also doesnt matter if you thought it was similar or not.

    but you know, do you have to be so rude and say: "Who is Lionel Richie?"

    Hes extremely famous and not only are you being ignorant, your insulting him because hes a lot more well known than 2NE1.

  • Who cares if it was copied, 2ne1 did a much better job with the song anyways. Like who the hell is this person, seriously? Terrible singer.

  • no need to insult him.

    hes more famous compared to 2NE1, even outside of america.

  • Yeah, I love 2NE1, but don't insult. I've heard his name before, he's pretty big..

  • did anyone kno abou this song before you heard 2ne1? answer me

  • Nope, never heard of this song. Didn't know about Lionel Richie till I read it up on wiki of 2ne1's profile.

  • yes i did

  • From what i'm seeing, 2NE1 copied this song. Everyone that is hating on Lionel Richie probably don't know any good music. where's the originality???

  • it's so obvious 2NE1 plagiarized this song. YG is so careless. They even copied the chorus hook where words are echoed.

    2NE1: I don't care-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh

    Lionel: Just go-go-go-go-go-go

    The verse is also the same phrasing, with the chorus lead-in EXACTLY done the same way. And of course, the chorus is the obvious give away.

    Shame on you YG! You should get sued for all you got. I'm sorry, but no more hanging out in your nice cars in Apkujeong or Gorusugil. You're in deep SH*T!!!

  • no diffrence other than they use auto-tune to inhence their voice.

  • As a musician, I can definitively say 2NE1's "I Don't Care" is clear PLAGIARISM of this song. Shame on 2NE1 management for trying to pull a quick one. How embarrassing. YG entertainment should get sued for all they have. I understand this is not the first time they've done this. Korean pop music is now on the world stage. They should take more responsibility.

  • it's just the music companies trying to find a way to get more money,most of the songs these days are either covers of songs using the same sort of music from another song, the plagiarism case should be dropped, there different song with similarities and that's it they should GET OVER IT

  • it does sound similar but i like this one better cause i always consider the lyrics but the lyrics are not the same but the beat and the tone...maybe the writer was inspired because of this song

  • The similarities between this song and 2ne1's "I don't Care" are not enough to be considered plagiarism. This is a ridiculous claim and should be dropped. It doesn't appear that anyone is a fan of both this song and I don't Care, most of the comments left here are from 2ne1's fans. No one cares about Lionel anymore, dude your time is up! haha, CL!

    Besides, nothing in this world is original anymore, everything has been done before. What's the big deal...

  • im here to check upon the similarities as well..n it's surprise me when all the comment on this 1st page talk about 21..how's great is that?lol..thoroughly thare r sum similarities but they r distant ones.watever it is, yg did a good job upgrading this song 4 a better one!!2NE1 hwaiting!

  • i fail to hear how this sounds like i dont care...

    sounds nothing alike.

  • yeah dude but this came out first so they called 2NE1 For copyright infringement

  • Where same wif 2NE1 wor !!@##

  • yeah the do have the same kind of tune but if anything 2ne1 did them a huge favor!! i never even knew about this song till i found 2n1's and to be honest 2ne1 kicks this songs ass lol.. ok i'm english and i dont know what they are singing for the best part of the song but it sounds sooooo much better than this song! no one wants to hear a old guy and a guy who sounds likes a crazy hamster singing a song no one gives a crap about lol 2ne1 are so much better! :D

  • Hahaas..

    I just knew about this on WIKI..

    Funny.. The rhythm is the same.. but the lyrics and the title and the Music video is so different.. They style is so different. I got no idea why is YG being filed for plagiarism.. hahas..

    But I really like Lionel Richie Songs. ESP: I called it love.

    But I love 2NE1 dance and up beat songs.

    Nobody can care about this is the music peeps have the last say.. haas.

  • I can't believe that there is actually a case over this. Even if I had no idea who 2ne1 was, and I was asked to listen to both of these songs and point out similarities - they would be few and far between. There are only very few parts that sound slightly similar and that's all - just similar. Not plagiarized in any way at all. I can't believe it...

  • i've never knew this song untill the plagiarism thing! i love lionel but i love 2ne1 more. no offence. they both great. so stop arguing! this song kinda same but wathever~ i dont care. just go! LOL

  • 2NE1~ FIGHTING~

    this song fails

  • I sang i dont care on this song, and it sounds NOTHIN alike..

  • Comment removed

  • i can understand why people are saying the two songs are similar but this is a bit of a stretch.

  • yeah they sound the same. (the chorus part)i mean honestly even though i really like 2ne1 esp sandara park.

  • Comment removed

  • lionel richie doesn't give a crap abt 2ne1. no onfense. how would u like it if ppl were making money off your work? that's extrotion. 2ne1 should get sued the songs are similar.

  • Wow this doesn't sound anything like 2ne1. The songs are just in the same key. This is a ridiculous claim.

  • i don't care e e e e e!!! xD

    yes its similar with the chorus but i don't really care cuz i think sony is the only one who have problems they are the one who started the controversy!! GO! YG! Go 2ne1!!!

  • haha, so i'm finally listening to this song after all the sony/yg/2ne1 controversy and i have to agree, they're not even that similar. sure, the melody is kinda similar but there are a lot of songs who use similar chord progressions or melodies.

    there are even youtube videos out there that showcase all the songs that use a similar 4 chord progression (as in songs released here in the us). you guys should look it up to know what im talkin bout. ridiculous...dunno why sony is hating so hard.

  • Different countries, different continents, different language so it really shouldn't matter...so many artists in the world that music will eventually sound the same!!!!go 2ne1

  • If this is plagiarizing, then you can make a case with any damn song out there.

  • 2ne1 could easily have a similar sound to this song, because it's musically so simple. When your song is made of only essentials, those essentials are going to be easy to find in other songs, as well.

  • it just a little bit same at the chorus..

    if they didnt say anything i dont think people will notice...

  • sony is jus hating on yg entertainment for some odd reason and is the one starting all of the plagiarize rumors.

  • the chord progression used here is rather simple, so 2ne1 using something similar would not be absurd, or any band for that matter using this chord progression

  • he's going to be on one life to live on september 29 singing this song hope lionel richie fans will watch.

  • lol its true they dont sound the same

  • dont sound like i dont care to me. people need to stop being such korean netizens. after what happend to jay, ppl still wont learn. damn.

  • THEY DID NOT PLAGIARIZE!!!!!!! OMFG.

  • this song is only getting views because people want to compare it to i don't care -.- haha

  • true.

  • I'll agree to that. Didn't know Richie had done this vid/song if not for the controversy.

    Having watched both vids, and listened to both songs without watching the vids. Nothing alike. Given I rather doubt it's Lionel Richie up in arms about it, but some corp dickhead

  • UGH, ohmygod it's not plagiarismed!

  • Wowowow.... this is barely similar.

    And I find it funny that people only watch this..

    To see if it's similar or not.

  • it's similar...but not similar enough to be plagiarism

  • i dont think it is plagarised

    i have perfect pitch and singing along with it, only certain chords work. the feel is similar, but over all the key and chord progressions only have 1-2 chords similar ish. overall a lot of sounds will similar because a lot of stuff has been done before, its hard to be original nowadays. not everything in the world has been plagarised just because it sounds similar.

  • I don't even see how it's similar o.O It's two totally different songs!

  • ok, so the back beat sounding a little similar is one thing ....but the chorus sounding like it too. idk.

    ....but it just sounds really similar

  • Um... So many songs have similarities... I don't think similarities is exactly plagiarism.

  • i don't even get how some netizens even...found the similarity..o.o...only the chorus sounds a BIT like it.

    and lol...look, it's akon. :D

  • maybe it just an accident 2ne1 song i dont care almost sound like this song

  • i can see how it's similar to 2ne1's i don't care. hmm.

  • i see it to but its reely not THAT similar....maybe like the chorus but like u cant reely call that plagerism right ?

  • 2NE1 and Teddy fighting!!!

    its not plagiarism!!!

    but who cares? seriously. theres so many songs in the world. hardly any of them are original. sharing is caring!

  • TEDDY DID NOT COPY!

    Seriously, Teddy is LOVE!

    It doesn't even sound like I Don't Care o______o

    <3 soah.

  • -___________-

    ohjeez, a controversy over this ?

    a shitload of sounds sound a like nowadays.

    plushgun - just impolite sounds kind of like

    such great heights - the postal service

    now, do we call this plagiarism ?

  • the chorus ..theres a slight similarity

    oh wells ..who noes

  • It doesn't sound like 'i don't care' at ALL to me...i dont know what they're playing at...>.>

  • the beat seems the same as I Don't Care, but that's about it..... i don't think this was intentional..... they are totally not the same......

  • i only came and search this song because of the plagiarism.

    nd it totally sounds different .

  • I totally agree with u.. I came cuz of 'i dont care' too..

  • besides, why do they like to accuse YG of plagiarism? it's like they're aiming at YG because 2NE1 are getting all the attention.

  • but if people really wanna make a big deal bout shit like this....well, mariah carey's song (beats) "obsessed" almost sound like jamie foxx's song "blame it"....

    thats what i think.....plus there are so many songs out there that people will find and compare and say "hey, this song sounds like this song..."

    who gives a damn.

  • "i dont care" and "just go"...so what if it sounds a like. all songs sound a like. who gives a damn. words arent the same. music flow is in some way. but why does that matter.? since when do we actually pay attention tho this kind stuff and make it a big deal. the music industry is just plain fu*ked up and got nothing better to do. if the singers dont give a damn about it then just drop it. .....

  • wow it does sound similar. creepy.

  • i dont care dont sound like this song

  • It does sound like "I Don't Care" But I DON'T CARE:P haha I like 2ne1 and Teddy^__^ sure this is a really good song. But 2ne1 sings more about how girls feel I think:P

  • although i agree with both song sounding the same, sometimes people unconsciously come up with a beat and not realize that it came from a different song.

  • i totally agree.

  • I would have never have referenced this song with IDC... plagiarism my ass

  • it isn´t similar to I don´t care the 2 song r so differents

  • It doesn't sound like I don't care to me.

  • What a gifted man. Good to know there is something other than that rap garbage out there.

  • from 0:48 - 1:20 it sound like "i don't care" but a bit slower.. the tune is the chorus of i don't care

    sorry guys i'm not a hater actually i support 2ne1 but i just noticed a little similarity.. :(

  • its not like the "i dont care"of "2ne1" guys...its so different..lol!..shame all you haters...

  • what the... for like 3sec, I remembered i don't care...but other parts are toootally different. and sorry gd T^T I did sing right round for 5 sec when I was hearing ur song....

  • sorry, i dont know a lot of music production... but i dont feel the "i dont care" of 2ne1 in this song...

  • this is soooo funny XD!! how this song sounds like "I don't care" of 2NE1 XD!!! i think Teddy have a lot talent to make songs XD...really XD!!

  • UMM look at the released date please.

  • EWW wth? This sounds NOTHING like the korean song. The korean one is much much much much better. Who the hell says this is plagerizing? LAME. What lies. ABC's song sounds more similar to this.

  • if this song is considered plagerized, then all the songs in the world are considered plagerized -_- god haters just focuses on yg only.

  • OMG this is too SIMILAR to say that is not copied...

    but GD how could you...

    4 songs in a year???

    I am a big fan of GD cause he "is" a great musician...

    and as a great musician he had to at least change more stuff and release it...not just the rhythm and beat...I wanna cry...

    I just don't know what to think...

    but yet I'll hope for u(GD) to someday compose something original...so I'll still be his fan...

  • Sony publishing is arguing that its like 2NE1's i dont care but it seems like to me they are just forcing that -_-

    the way go go go sound will not sound like the way eh eh eh eh eh will even when its made faster -_-

  • its a small world. get over it

  • try listen to rihana -hatin 'on the club '..have similar melody  wit this both song (IDC and just go)

  • The whole chorus kinda DOES sound like I don't care's own chorus.... only slower.

    =_______=

  • i went on here just to hear this, in comparison to i dont care...

    i have to say, yeah it sounds similar...but thats because i was thoroughly comparing it with 2NE1's...

    gees almost every song has an excerpt from booty music in it,

    god this is so stupid

  • mydog8u2 / You should get urself updated !! 2ne1's song I dont care is now accused for plagiarism as well as Copy-Dragon by Sony Publishing that owns the original songs.

    2ne1 and G-Dragon will face accusation !

    such a SHAME

  • actually just GD. because he wrote and produced I dont care...and Fire...and most of the songs 2ne1 sings...

  • I dont care was produced and composed by Teddy and Kush. Fire was by Teddy. NOT GD.

    and YG released his official statement on the issue, he said they never even heard of this song Lionel Richie - Just Go.

    so they didn't plagiarize crap.

  • yeah ok they know of tons of american songs but they claiming not noone heard of lionel song. ok we believe them not.

  • yes i believe YG because i'm an american also and even i've never heard of this song until this plagiarism issue came about.

  • ok believe yg still wont change the fact if sony sues them. thanks :)

  • REALLY?????

    then GD didn't copy THIS song right???

    I'm so glad...

    but then what about Heartbreaker and Butterfly???

  • i don't think heart breaker was plagiarized. it was merely about 5 secs that sounded like right round. it was probably just a coincidence.

    as for butterfly, it really does sound like oases so i'm not commenting on this one. i rather just wait until YG release a statement on it.

    since you're bringing up other songs, i like to mention Mariah Carey's Standing O. it sounds like 2ne1's in the club, yet i dont hear sony accusing Carey of plagiarism.

  • Okay. I honestly think the Go~ Go~ Go~ is NOT the same as Eh~eh-eh-eh~eh~eh. Not only is it in a different style, different pace, but most importantly, it's MELODICALLY different.

    Come on. If 2NE1 really did plagiarise, Lionel Richie deserves compensation, but it obviously isn't the case here. If THIS becomes the basis for plagiarism, it's gonna set a precedent for a hell of a lot of plagiarism cases in the future for even the most tenuous, accidental resemblances. I say 2NE1 is safe.

  • it could be coincidence. i like 2ne1.

  • its like the slower version of i don't care by 2ne1 i dont care the sloweeeerrr version!!!

  • How are they plagiarizing? YG always gets up to like 20 seconds from other songs but they have permission to do that.

    Just go?- WOW that sounds nothing alike...

    What about all the LOVE songs in korean industry? they SOUND just alike sometimes -__-"

    At least they didn't remake the whole song like SHINEE and SNSD

    SHINEE-Deal with it.

    SNSD-some american song.

    GD-flo rida(right round)

    but flo rida does nothing but remakes...

    Stay strong girls

  • personally i dont get how everyones saying 2ne1 plagiarized -_-

    seriously

    where's it the same?

    just go go go (3 gos)

    i dont care eh eh eh eh eh (freaking 5 ehs)

    and if that's plagiarism i guess we should literally sue every artists in the world huh

  • Listen to the chorus again... if it were faster, it'd DEFINITELY sound like I Don't Care...

    Also, the "go go go" here is slower. Add a "go" in between each of those 3 and what d'ya have? 5...

    Siiiigggghhh... to think this was my fave 2NE1 song... -_____-

  • uhauhauhau 2NE1's chorus is similar? It's almost a copy!

    Sorry, I love 2NE1, but "I don't care" is a copy of "Just go".

    xoxo

  • I do agree. "I don't care" sounds a lot alike this song.

  • screw sony for suing YG. Its a pretty dick move on their part.

  • ikr?

    It's not like Flo Rida has his own song... he remaked Right Round anyways....

  • no wonder they'll state its plagarized. The chorus sounds SIMILIAR. But that doesn't mean its plagarising RIGHT? Come on! UGH.

  • ... How can say that 2NE1's I Don't Care sound like this? They are TOO sensitive, just too immature no matter how BIG they are. Zzz

  • Stop Arguin,, y dont u just say, its a boy version of I don't care,... Well I only hope you can understand the whole lyrics of

    I dont care

  • if anything, i don't care by 2NE1 sounds better than this...

  • do yall know who lionel riche is??

    how can u maggots comparing him w/2ne1,,???

  • fuken gay.... how do they even claim this shit to be associated with 2ne1's song...

  • lol...i can see why they'd compare it to 2ne1; the chorus sounds very similar...lol how can you say lionel richie is shit, in comparison to 2ne1???

  • OMG I cansing to it.

    2NE1s song.

    IDK anymore. So much things aare happening in the Kpop indistry. sigh.. =(

    Guys try not to offend each other when stating ur opinion. maybe the song was plagerized, maybe it was not. everyone has the right to say what they want to but dont b mean

  • scroll it down ppl,,,

    don't watch vid,,,,,,,

    just audio ppl listcent just audio,,,,

    talk to me then.....

  • listen

  • about like what sec?????

    c'mon that what sec is the main part of

    the whole SONG,,geez u whatever's.....

  • puha ha, omg holy shit....

    so shame on them r u guys r fucking

    brain washed by YG???????

    this is proven effect now that it's counterfeit...

    so shame on u,,,,,,,,

  • about like 2 seconds.

  • umm it doesn't sound like I don'r care... omg are you guys deaf?!

  • kinda...thats bad rep for 2ne1..

  • how can you generalize all Asians?

    and can you be more respectful of other people's opinions? stop calling people names because that's just immature.

    How many songs are there in the world? At least one song has to sound similar. And its not even the melody that's similar its the beat. How many beats do you think one can come up with?

  • i kinda hear it but theres a lot of songs that have the same basic sound...

    i think that the overall song lyrics and everything is what makes the song popular and not so much the underlying stuff idk lol i just thinks its stupid XD

  • its just the chorus

  • funny verry far if you compare it to 2ne1 i dont care. i think in the club by rihanna is better in comparison thing if they want to sue the i dont care song. nahhh they are ruining YG's name.

  • Many composers in china,taiwan,southeast asia including the philippines have copied foreign songs including korean songs(even full songs).

  • But nobody cares about them except korean songs? It's not fair. If this kind of thing is called a copy, there are countless songs in the world.

  • Of COURSE people care about other plagiarized songs from other Asian countries. How else would you know about those plagiarized songs? Because there was controversy surrounding them.

    And saying that other people have plagiarized music is a HORRIBLE excuse. >>

  • Yearh? Tell me what songs are sued by original composers in other asian countries then?

  • well. it does sound abit similar to 2NE1's I don't Care..wow.. YG should be ashamed,. they got WARNED for plaguirizing 4 songs... (G-DRAGON and 2NE1) ...

  • well Im not really a musical person and I dont have idea bout notes

    but as a normal listener I dont really see any similarity with 2ne1s I dont care

  • 2ne1 I don't care is really different from this!!!

    And this sounds reggae!!!
