Rap-Up.com || Uh-O! Is Mariah Carey a Copycat?

One of our favorite cuts off Mariah Carey’s new Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel album is The-Dream and Tricky Stewart-produced “Standing O.” K-pop fans have alerted us to a song from Korean girl group 2NE1 called “In the Club” that sounds rather similar to MC’s. Listen to both and tell us what you think.

Wow. Both are similar but I don’t think Mariah or The Dream or even Tricky would copy or sample someones song without them knowing about it.

more like Standing UH-O. that is NOT a good look. but it’s a common melody. …right?

Haha, they are both saying “Oh.” I wouldn’t call that copying. Sounds like unnecessary drama.

Are you all r’tards? The only similarities is that its two women saying “oh” several times. If this is “copying”, then you could list hundreds of “copycats”. Get a life & report on things that are actually relevant.

Its only a coincidence, the lyrics are totally different abd different meaning, The “O” in Mariahs is longer and used more.

wow i would have never thought i’d read about 2ne1 on rap-up. lol. I love them(even though I don’t know korean) and i like the mariah song but honestly there’s no real issue. If it was this easy to label someone a “plagiarizer” a bunch of artists would be getting sued on the regular. There is a similarity but not big enough to matter. and there’s no need for the stans to get all upset either

Give Me A F*cking Break. By saying “Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh” she is copying some hack K-Pop chicks? Sounds like somebody is thirsty for a story to get clicks. *whistles and looks in Rap-Up’s General direction*
Erica
September 24th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Just because they both sing “oh” does mean she copied it.

A few days ago, Mariah Carey’s new song, “Standing O” teaser was released on Youtube. Comparing this song to “In the Club”, you get 8 bars of similar parts. It is 24 seconds, instead of 5 seconds, also has it as its major motive, and adding up the similar parts together, results in approximately 1 minute. What is Sony ATV’s opinion towards this song? I don’t know, but I am sure that you can’t easily say that Mariah Carey has plagiarized 2NE1’s song that was released 3 months ago, although it contains longer and clearer motives from “In the Club”.

Direct from Yang Hyun-Seok or YG the entertainment that 2NE1 is from!

MC and Dream/Tricky would have to have heard their music in order to copy. How lame. In fact if anything standing O’s, oh’s sound similar to Rihanna on Umbrella and since Dream/Tricky wrote that, they should sue the Korean group LOL. Keep it moving any way. LOL
PLEEAAASSSEE!!!
September 24th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
PLZZZZ STANDING O SOUNDS NUTHIN LIKE THAT SONG EXCEPT THE “OH OH OH OH” PART AND THEN THAT PART SOUNDS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND THE DREAM WROTE THAT SONG N ITS PLENTY OF SONGS THAT HAVE THE SIMILAR OHHH THAT STANDING O HAS…PLZZZZ MC IS NOT A COPYCATER AND MC DIDN’T WRITE THAT SONG!
SIDE EFFECTS???
September 24th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Hello???? If anything these girls are copying MC’s song SIDE EFFECTS which has the oh oh oh part. If anything Standing O sounds a bit like SIDE EFFECTS, which is an MC song anyways!!!!!!!!

dang!that!
September 24th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
mariah carey’s song has like 10-15 seconds of similarity with 2NE1’s in the club. yah sound ridiculous to like acuse her for copying
but you should checkout g dragon – heartbreaker and flo rida – right round
sony has claimed g dragon’s song plagiarised right round because of 5 SECONDS of similarity! ahhaaaaa
and now THATS RIDICULOUS SHIT!
if things like this happens all the time i think all songs in the world are plagiarized!
dang!that!
September 24th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
BTW PEOPLE, YOU DIVA’S SONG CAME OUT LIKE A WEEK AGO! THIS SHIT 2NE1’s IN THE CLUB CAME OUT 3 MONTHS AGO!

OH gosh.. There are some delusional people in this WORLD chile..

Some of you people actually don’t realize that when an album comes out, the songs were recorded probably up to a year ago? Nobody knows the exact date Mariah recorded her song just because WE are just hearing it. Are y’all like 14? lmaooo… And the song could have been written and demoed even before mariah went into the booth. chile boo.. Mariah will have these girls’ lacefronts hanging in her walk in closet. She doesn’t know them hos.
Jacques Theprophetblog
September 25th, 2009 at 5:07 am
Oh please it’s obvious that The-Dream and Tricky stole this.

I don’t think Mariah even wrote her new album with all those demos leaking, plus the lyrics are so much like The-DReam its not even funny.

Mariah is definitely a songwriter but she totally let the pen slip on this one and still took the credit, EG Beyonce.
hmmmm
September 25th, 2009 at 6:12 am
you can’t deny the fact that the melody is very similar and i dont think they asked for a 15 minute fame, if you look into it, it was the sony atv that started the whole thing, apparently a korean rapper’s new song had a 5 sec rapping that was very similar to flo-rida’s right round
again this is a similar case, i guess they were just asking to look into justice just because flo-rida and mariah carey are international stars doesn’t mean they cant push around more less international recognized singers
ppl do have to respect them
Xavi
September 25th, 2009 at 7:34 am
Different key, different tempo, different instrumentation, different verses. There’s no piano in the 2NE1 track.

Just because they both say “O” repeatedly means nothing. And I highly doubt Mariah or Tricky would look to the Japanese charts for inspiration when the US sets trends musically for the rest of the world.
keey
September 25th, 2009 at 8:07 am
actually its korean get ur facts right …
so if i played mozart only different key n different tempo with different instrument and verses it would definitely be my creation right?
there are biased opinion about music trends but many of japanese song trends are usually first set like fashion only us globalizes it
just bc there is no piano in their track doesnt mean its not the same dude…
Gale
September 25th, 2009 at 9:01 am

Both songs could have very well been inspired from a song called falesto-The dream love hate 2007- (go see youtube) but you would have to be a serious music appreciater with instrumental skills to figure and imagine the methods on how to make
a melody, which derived from a same inspiration or feeling, into a somewhat diffrent or even new looking melody. The studio mixed sounds, differnce in gain of voice, use and highlights of various types of instrument at different scale- they can give real new and diffrent feeling at least on the surface of superficial-even if thye actually orginated from the same melody and nuisance technique.

Clearly not all songs are 100% original, they all had been inspired from something, the past achievements. K-Pop girl group 2NE1 and MC both portray quite similarities in thier hook-melody of “0h” also with its unique repetitive sounds of nuisance. And MC’s standing O is composed by the dream (same artist for the Falesto). Then the important question is can mC’s standing O composers and copyrights owners give a comprehensive and clear explanation to assure tha fans free from listening of stealing plagiarism and also keep thier heads high as arists and not cahching-money diggers. I think MC’s standing O can provide such answer as they should. By the way 2NE1, the Korean Pop girl group (not Japs-you ignorants) should also give expository stateement clearly explaining where they got thier inspiration and refernce hook melodies for thier song in the club released 2 month prior to MC’s standing O.

Oh, ona very differnt note, for those you do not care yet riducule the serious thinkers on popular content plagirism, stealing is considered to be a grave matter in all affairs of life. Please do get a real life and improve your literature of right ideas. Plagiarism is like assualt on your money only indifferntly approved by our peers. Man have some decency of caring so that we can actully buy and enjoy real music.

the simple explanation is that both refrains are mediocre. I love Mariah, and I love standing O, but when the industry keeps re-inventing the wheel, two artists are bound to repeat the same two notes. Both are probably ripoffs of something else. Most likely Umbrella, which Dream wrote anyway.

the following are yg artist songs.

big bang forever with you vs mariah carey’s we belong together

g dragon heartbreaker vs flo rida right round

g dragon this love vs maroon 5’s this love

big bang with u vs joe’s rock with u

2ne1 i dont care vs lionel richie just go

g dragon butterfly vs oasis she’s electric

g dragon’s the leaders or wassup vs snoop dogg’s drop it like it is hot

2ne1 fire vs kat deluna whine up

so anyway right now sony atv is calling yg plagiarizers. as a result yg mentioned in a letter about mariah song. therefore that is the only reason she got bought up. now that it is settled have a nice day and move on from this bs story about mariah plagiarizing them.

since we all know who the real plagiarizers are :D

왤케 전세계인들이 보는 싸이트에서 표절표절 거리냐? 3초,5초 똑같다고 표절확정된 것도 아닌데 표절이라고 여기저기 광고하고 다니고 그거 다 제 살 깎는거야 니들 바보냐?

일본이나 중국애들이나 대만애들 다 표절한거 알아
근데 걔네들은 알아서 입다물고 있고 조금 붉어질라하면 지들이 나서서 아니라고해 근데 한국애들은 멍청한건지 착한건지?
표절 판명난것도 아닌데 왤케 표절이라고 동네방네 난리치고 다니고 옛날 노래까지 끄집어와서 유투브에 올리고 그만좀해

그리고

머라이어가 뭐라고 야 헐리우드 애들은 표절 안하냐? 우리가 비슷하면 표절이고 얘네가 하면 우연이라고? 이런 미친 이중잣대가 세상에 어딨냐? 니들 진짜로 한치앞도 못 보는 바보들이냐?

표절 확정된것만 표절이라고해 코리아 ,케이팝 이미지 다 깍지 말고 그리고 대만애들 동남아 애들 우리나라 가요 표절한거나 찾아봐 걔네들이 한거보면 이건 표절도 아니야 웃기고 있어
일본애들은 더 했어 표절 더 했다고 근데 쏘니도 웃겨 왜
지네 가수들은 무섭나보지? 지네 나라 가수가 표절은 더 했구만
어이가 없어 ㅡㅡ 미친

아무튼

머라이어나 오아시스가 하면 우연이고 우리가 하면 미친 표절이냐? 그따위 이중잣대가 어딨냐?
파이어 에서 특정 악기 나왔다고 표절이라고 난리치고 다니고
그게 전부다 표절이면 표절아닌게 대체 어딨냐
이정현 노래 표절한 이탈리아 가수나 동영상 올리던가 ㅡㅡ

표절이라고 확정된것만해
3초,5호 똑같다고 갖은 오두방정은 다 떨면서 유투브에서 표절표절 표절 그거다 제 살 깍이야 도덕심이 높은건지 몇수는 커녕 한치앞도 못보는 멍청이 인건지 ㅉㅉ 적당히 좀 하지??

‘야 이 잡것들아’ 님.
여기는 랩업이라는 미국의 인지도를 받고있는 음악언론전문사이트입니다.

한국인으로서 한마디 말씀드립니다.

적당히 하라고 하셨는데 YG 양현석씨가 먼저 “경솔하게” 거론하신거고 그것에 대해 생각을 물은것인데 대체 무엇을 적당히 하라는 것인지 ..

표절의혹이라는 것 자체를 아예 제기하지 말란 것인지..

글은 긴데 알맹이는 없으며, 주어는 없고 서술만 있는듯 보입니다.

제가 추측한것처럼 설령 “표절의혹이 있어도 우리나라 사람이니 숨기자” 라고 생각하신다면 정말로 크게 착각하고 계신것 같습니다.

소니ATV의 말을 인용하여 말씀드리자면,
“이제 한국은 게속해서 이런 표절논란에 휩싸일 것인지, 아니면 한국만의 색깔을 만들어내야 할것인지 결정해야 할 때입니다.” 라고 했지요.

전 정말 고개를 들수가 없었습니다.
그 소속사에서 한말중에 반박할 말이 없었거든요.

이건 정말 매우 간단한 문제입니다.
당신이 말하는것처럼 한국가수의 표절논란은 한국인이 감싸줘야 한다 라면,

영국에 사는 한국아이가 과자와 음료수를 훔쳤습니다.

하지만 이는 한국아이의 부모가 괜찮다고해서 끝날문제가 아닙니다.
영국의 슈퍼주인이 “괜찮습니다.” 라고 한다던지가 아니라면 충분히 도둑질이라고 봐도 될 내용입니다.

물론, 표절이라는 것을 한낮 어린아이가 과자훔친걸로 비유하기엔 너무 작은 케이스지만 말이죠 ..

정작 적당히 해야하는 분은 그쪽이 아니신지요 .

if i were u id just shut the hell up and not even bother to comment on this n remark about how shit this is …
if u have time to write these craps spend ur time wisely n comment on something u like for a change
n just saying it doesnt only happen with yg it happens with all the other ppl too like 4 minute or wtv they’r called 5 minute ’s song “music” sounds ridiculously similar to boom boom pow by black eyed peas why r people not commenting on this too? just sayin …

You guys are clearly musically challenged.

This song was clearly plagiarized. 24 seconds of the song was completely SIMILAR to 2ne1’s song ‘in the club.’ I mean if they sound almost alike with a few beats and maybe some notes higher or lower, sure, I’ll let it slide. But the whole idea that if you put both of those “oh oh oh” parts together, its similar. Now, idiots. I’m not talking about the lyrics that was plagiarized, I’m talking about the music itself. They sound similar, not for 5 seconds, but for a whole 24, that’s like copying and pasting a whole paragraph from a website onto your research paper without citing. Now, what would your school do about it? They’ll freaking expel you and make sure that you’ll never get back in and even possibly lose your entire future or chance to go back into College. It’s the same thing with clothing. You can’t just go into Anthropologie and take their shirt and make an EXACT duplicate of the shirt without any dramatically changes to it. You’ll get sued like how Forever 21 did. If I was 2ne1’s company, I’d sue MC up the ASS. She’s losing her vocal talent. Sure, she was a hit before she disappeared, but ever since she came back to the music industry, sorry MC fans, but she isn’t all that anymore.
And MC fans, I respect that you’re sticking up to your favorite artist and I respect that, but the truth is the truth. Don’t sugar coat it. Just be thankful that she didn’t get slammed hard.

It’s not the “Oh” that MC copies. Plagiarism doesnt mean copying the lyrics. It’s the beat/sound. If you listen to it closely and in an unbias view, the beat sounds very similar.

The fact is clear that 2ne1’s In the club was released in the first instance.

sorry to break it to the MC fans but whilst MC was in korea she had indirectly admitted that she did feel guilty about it as she refused to answer anything about it

Mariah got a lot of cases against her for song plagiarism.
