This topic was brought up by screen name "Days Nearly Over" in the Beyonce vs. Rihanna blog but I thought I'd give it some new life...Listen to the chorus of "Unfaithful" and then the chorus of "Lonely No More." Rihanna practically stole the first verse and then changed the next line to make them sound just slightly different. Not only the words but the music to the chorus in "Unfaithful" is like a slower version of Rob Thomas' song.

P.S. I called up Rihanna and she told me Rob's royalty check was in the mail.

I haven't noticed a similarity, but maybe I should listen more closely.

^ Yeah, I haven't noticed anything either. But then again, unless you're specifically listening to something such as this for a certain purpose, you never really do notice.

Lol, I love how mad everyone got about me calling up Rihanna. You guys are just mad you don't have her phone number...Jesus Christ people, it's sarcasm! Watch, now I'll get a bunch of dummies replying that you can't tell if someone's being sarcastic through written words in a blog. In the context of my comment, it should have been pretty easy. Spend a little more time in the real world and a little less in these forums people.

I noticed it was sarcasm...

Anyways.


Unfaithful:

I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Everytime I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer

Lonely No more:

I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore





The only thing that one "stole" is the verb phrase "I don't wanna be ...."

It's like saying that sexy back is a version of the cha cha slide. It's not that big of a deal. Or it isn't to me anyway I don't know about you.

Yes Sherlock, I understand that but listen to the music in the chorus along with the lyrics. There is a strong resemblance.

I think I kinda see it a tiny bit? Maybe, i dunno. laugh.gif

But Rihanna definitely used other work in "SOS" (tainted love, soft cell, etc). However, they got credit i believe.

At any rate, Lonely no more > Unfaithful
in my opinion. laugh.gif
