Cyprus‘ eurovision entry completely rips off Bad Romance‘s chorus

[itsdominik 16,745]

I don‘t know if it‘s been discussed yet, but the chorus of Cyprus‘ eurovision entry is a complete rip-off of Bad Romance. 
 

The „spooky“ sounding pre-chorus, the melody in the chorus is exactly the same and even the timing and lyrics for the post-chorus are almost identical.

Check for yourself from 0:49

 

How is that even allowed?

wowwwww very blatant. Great melody Gaga/redone created 

[Lona Delery 7,214]

chord progression is the same, but the melody is not that similar. sounds more like Rita Ora's anywhere than Bad Romance imo

And the video is a cheap version of Zara Larsson’s Love Me Land + a weird Head&Shoulders product placement

There was a topic about it on a Dutch Late night show last week.

Eurovision is the greatest musical show/festival of ALL TIME, we should be thankful someone there looked to Gaga for inspiration. El Diablo is a whole bop

I don’t see anything good in one artist blatantly copying others?
