You know your career's in the toilet when you have to resort to ripping off Nickelback fer fucksakes. They even rip off their own songs. Listen to "How You Remind Me" and "Someday" if you don't believe me.

It's plagiarism. votefortheworst.com, and everyone else, should sue Chris Daughtry.

They are all way too similar...but you have to remember, you can use the first 8 measures of any song and it's not plagarism. Any Blues song is basically 3 chords and the first 8 bars over and over (except for the bridge). Nearly all Blues are the same, just a different key and (hopefully) different lyrics. Basic Country is the same way. The phrasing is the key to plagarism...and I say Daughtry may have a problem with the last one (probably not the Nickelback song, so much). I don't think it makes him a Tool so much...stupid, maybe.

If you look up Daughtry in a dictionary, you see a photo of a spanner. He is the world's biggest tool, and an unoriginal, makeup wearing, fug smug prick to boot. I hope they sue him out of existence!

Daughtry does have a big trouble with the second one. It's just an improved version with different lyrics. The chords are practically the same.

My personal favorite is how they don't even bother to change up the tempo. Up it 5 bpm, and it makes it harder to synch up. Even better, try some real songwriting and change the key and/or tempo in the chorus. Or add a bridge, maybe. There was a reason PWE was rotating tires three years ago: They don't sue you when you copy the guy in the repair bay next to you.

OMG! He's in big trouble in "Feels Like Tonight". It's a replica of the original, total ripoff!!! Better settle now or suffer the consequences.

Not, it really could be plagiarism for the following reason: the Lyrics AND the melody in the Chorus appear to be almost identical. It's pretty blatant, could be time to pay up AGAIN, Dr. Luke.

Yeah, being on the charts every week is a pretty good indication that his career's "in the toilet". I agree about the Nickelback bit, but the first part of that statement isn't necessarily correct.

While the similarities are clear with the Nickelback song, I don't think there's enough for any lawyer to cry foul. Not so with the second song, where not only are the styles similar, but the choruses are the same. I think they'll go down for that one. But what amazed me, along this topic, is that on the "Gladiator" soundtrack, part of the "Barbarian Horde" track IS "Mars" from "Holst: The Planets" with only cosmetic, surface variations. They didn't even attempt to disguise that theft, really. I'd say the next part was stolen from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies if "Gladiator" hadn't pre-dated them. Hmmmm. Apparently, song-stealing is just part of the biz.
