The 'Youth' singer voiced her disapproval of Platt's version of 'Happy' on Twitter, suggesting she copied her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of the Pharrell Williams hit

Foxes wrote: "Smart choice ‪@cherylOfficial ‪@TheXfactor ‪@simoncowell to mash up Happy and [Massive Attack's 1998 track] 'Teardrop' wish I'd thought of that...

"Oh wait, I did...In March (‪@BBCR1 ‪#LiveLounge)"

I was just about to post this after I saw her tweets :laugh:

Goddess.

The blatant copy, waiting for a barrage of "who?" comments, clearly one of the producers knows http://i.imgur.com/BAdA1aO.gif

Who cares?

Get a grip foxes.

someone's a bit annoyed she's reduced to the level of 10-second Doctor Who cameos

(but yes expecting originality from an x factor contestant with a week's notice is a bit naive)

[Brother Leon]

Don't know her. This is nothing new anyway. James Arthur copied Krept and Konan's idea and Cher straight up stole Rap bars from other artists :laugh:

[Withano]

Lauren got a lot of credit for something she stole of somebody else

On the X factor?? NEVER! I can't believe this is happening. And after all of these years of originality, can't believe X factor would stoop so low. Usually it's other people copying x factor, not the other way around. I couldn't believe it when Adele blatantly ripped off James Arthur a couple of years ago. And the hundreds of "artists" Who copied the amazing Alexandra Burke original, "Hallelujah", was beyond a joke.

She wasn't criticising lauren there at all, she was having a pop at cheryl if anyone.

[Strictly Jake]

To be fair they don't sound alike it's both just a slowed down version of happy, both good voices but both a boring version of an annoying song and that's where it should end

[alex_front2]

But why slow down Happy? Happy?! Soo bored of this reality trend of taking an upbeat song and making it " deeper and profund" by slowing it down. It's turgid and dull.

I don't think it's the fact that the girl sang that version, it was that Simon was licking Cheryl's arse by praising what a great idea she had, when it wasn't her idea.
