Her voice can be so irritating :yuk:

[Niamh.]

OMG that is almost exactly the same!! tut tut!!! How very dare she indeed!!!

What a bunch of assholes. Many people have pointed out that Dani California sounds a lot like Tom Petty's Last dance with Mary Jane but when Petty was asked about it he recognised the similarities but didnt bother to sue. Decide for yourself.

Frm the Dani California wiki page.

Shortly after its release, the originality of the song was questioned on the Dan Gaffney Morning Show on Delaware based news/talk radio station WGMD 92.7 FM.[7] Two of the station's talk show hosts Dan Gaffney and Jared Morris alleged that the Red Hot Chili Peppers had plagiarized Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 1993 hit "Mary Jane's Last Dance". To demonstrate, they presented audio snippets of both songs, both side by side and simultaneously (i.e. on top of each other) several times. They stated that the chord progression, key, and the lyrical theme of the songs (both produced by Rick Rubin) showed "startling similarities" and urged listeners to "decide for themselves."[7]

Although the chord progressions sound similar, they do in fact differ as "Mary Jane's Last Dance" follows "Am, G, D, Am" (A Dorian mode), while "Dani California" follows "Am, G, Dm, Am" (A minor). University of Chicago musicologist Travis Jackson said the songs' chord progressions were similar, but were a "pretty standard groove" in music and not necessarily evidence of copying.[8]

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Petty denied rumors that he planned to sue the Chili Peppers and said, "I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock & roll songs sound alike." Petty went on to say that The Strokes admitted that they took Chuck Berry's riff for "American Girl" and used it in their song "Last Nite", and even openly admitted it.[9]

It will fail 100%

Nothing will happen.
And lol at them doing it before..

[setanta]

I'd forgotten how irritating her voice is.

[GiRTh]

I like the quote from Petty. 'A lot of Rock and Roll songs sound alike'. Spot on. Too many musicians act like precious arseholes when it comes to their own work.

[BB_Eye]

Can you imagine if the families of every blues musician from the mid-20th century took out lawsuits against everybody who employed the same chord progressions? We'd never hear the end of it.

I think lawsuits should only be carried out in extreme cases, such as when the British post-punk band Wire sued britpop band Elastica... which was thoroughly deserved.

[Patrick]

****** those idiots, it will fail as ben said.

They sound nothing alike.

Diana is better.

[GiRTh]

****** those idiots, it will fail as ben said.

They sound nothing alike.

Diana is better.
Did you read the article? Even Diana says they sound alike.

[BB_Eye]

I like how she said she wrote the song in an hour. :D

['Conor]

they sound a bit alike

dianas is so **** thought cant make out what shes saying

[GiRTh]

I like how she said she wrote the song in an hour. :DAnd that she's listened to Under the Bridge the previous day. They got George Harrison in his famous plagiarism suit over My Sweet Lord due to the fact that he knew the song He's so fine by the Chiffons.

[M X]

Meh, they are sort of similar. But Diana's is better.

[Jordan.]

What an awful song, she deserves suing for putting everyones ears through that.

[Z]

I'd forgotten how annoying I find her voice, I managed to pretty much completely avoid listening to her music when it hit the charts however many months ago. She's blatantly ripped them off and stupidly admitted to it; they'll take her to the cleaners and spend the money on party drugs. Welcome to fame Diana!

[Iceman]

Meh, they are sort of similar. But Diana's is better.

You're crazy! Diana better than the chili's...... jog the **** on.

[Shaun]

only on tibb would some stupid teenagers claim some Diana Vicker ****e is better than Under the Bridge...

[30stone]

Why shouldnt they lol.



Athough i like them and probably prefer their version why shouldnt someone prefer her version?

[Niamh.]

****** those idiots, it will fail as ben said.

They sound nothing alike.

Diana is better.

ah Patrick they sound very alike!

[Niamh.]

Meh, they are sort of similar. But Diana's is better.

Under the bridge is about a million times better.

[GiRTh]

only on tibb would some stupid teenagers claim some Diana Vicker ****e is better than Under the Bridge...This.

Why shouldnt they lol.



Athough i like them and probably prefer their version why shouldnt someone prefer her version?They can like whatever they want it just proves they dont know what the hell they're talking about.

[InOne]

I guess it is a bit harsh, she is only some crappy X Factor reject, not exactly a big threat to them.

[SoBig]

She is so stupid. She knew that she sampled their song, yet she didn't ask for their permission to use it? She deserves to get sued.

[Jords]

oops!
And I like both songs tbh.

[Lucy.]

Whoever signed Diana were the ruin of her, she was so unique, her no shoes and messy hair were her symbol now she's some barbie in heels :nono: I don't think Chilli Peppers should stress, fair enough the chorus for like 4 seconds sounds very similar but other than that not really. Besides hers is rubbish and theirs is epic.

[lol]

Tbh only the choruses sound remotely the same.
But of course RHCP's song is 1 million times better.

[King Gizzard]

Just heard it, what an absolute mug

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

She has completely ruined the song for me. I was listening to Chillies and all I could hear was her marge simpson voice. Hopefully in time things get back to normal. :(

wait for the new album, she should be in obscurity by then:hugesmile:

[Wildcat!]

I know she messed up, and blatantly sampled the chilli peppers song, but if I was them, I would actually be embarrassed to even declare the song simalar to theirs. Its such a load of crap, that they should just forget about it. Unless they are in need of some money, then fair enough. BUt f its just for artistic reasons, this is an awful song, and theirs is amazing.

Too bad, because I like Diana Vickers, and her personal style on the xfactor (even the claw :D). BUt like the poster Lucy said, I dont know what the hell she has become. Nothing unique about her at all anymore, and that was her best selling point.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

^^I'm sure they think her song is crap too. But it must be painful/annoying for an artist to have spend time on a piece, be recognized for it and have some nobody that has a following from the new generation going on as if she came up with the sound. I wonder if she would have made reference to the Chilies if nobody mentioned it.


wait for the new album, she should be in obscurity by then:hugesmile:
That's the hope!!! :cloud:


I like this youtube artist playing under the bridge

firstly those who say diana is better than RHCP are exactly what is wrong with music in the charts lately cos they buy the rubbish & decent artists are overlooked
secondly she basically admitted that it is the same cos was listening to under the bridge a lot before she wrote this of course she knew exactly what she was doing but now is hopefully gonna pay price for it
hopefully they will take her to cleaners so she has to fade into nothing so we dont have to endure her wailing anymore

Coming from someone who goes insane for Robbie friggin' Williams? People who prefer Diana's song to RHCP just means they have a different opinion from yours. Some people don't like RHCP type of music, what's wrong with that? I can appreciate that they are talented etc but I don't like the song. Obviously I love Diana's version and she was silly for taking the what thirty seconds in the chorus and she was silly for admitting it, but seriousl,y you want them to take her to the cleaners so she fades into nothing? She's only nineteen and she makes one mistake, which being fair, she doesn't even try to deny or cover up, least she's honest. She doesn't have to fade away, you can just stick Robbies greatest hits on or wait for the next Twilight film to come out, no?
