my god, now i ask you, did you really watched the video? you're using wrongly the term "interpolate" it doesn't mean every note has to align perfectly LOL, that's just copying a melody. you don't have to disagree anyway, it's a fact and that's why they gave paramore credit for interpolation.

You guys do realise this been going on for years right? Olivia ain't the only one to be "inspired". 

I mean - Treasure/Baby I'm yours 

Or even recent 7 rings/mine 

They know, they just choose to target Olivia because she's an easy target - 18 years old and a young artist. It's disgusting. Didn't expect anything else from this site though.

Yeah, but then proceeded to share it on insta as a big achievement. Doesn't seem very nice of her and her agents.

It doesn't come as a surprise from Taylor $wift who's always chasing money, but I expected more from Hayley.

Why the “it doesn’t come as a surprise from Taylor”?I don’t find a problem to get credit on a song,whose writer literally said that she’s sampling..At the end of the day music industry is all about money

yes i watched the video hence why i said i watched the video

i disagree with whatever his definition of interpolation is and that it is a “fact” that they used it and that that’s why they gave the credit.

they clearly gave the credit because of neanderthals on the internet not knowing wtf they’re talking about claiming the song rips off Misery Business when it obviously does not do that and they want to stave off that criticism and possible lawsuit by imo prematurely and inaccurately giving them credit when they deserve none.

they just used the same chord progression, it's not an interpolation, don't put it on the same bag, it is also similar to sympathy for the devil or a lot other 80's songs, gaga was literally condemned for not using the pop I V VI IV progression and making something different no one was doing that could only be traced from thirty years before in pop music, The Irony!

In any case it interpolates I was born this way from the priest which she gave fully credit for

I was just joking. People were just loving being hateful to Gaga.

[RichAssPiss 4,993]

She's going to be fine financially, and this is probably the right path career-wise. Fighting a lawsuit is expensive, and you will get dragged through the mud. This way she just gets one round of headlines and no one is angry at her, suing her, or badmouthing her in the press. 

[FunkYou 352]

I haven't heard anything from her but f*** them all. The mainstream music scene is dead. They all sound the same. How in the world could they earn money from something they haven't touched. Let that girl have her money and move on. You have enough already. 

[RichAssPiss 4,993]

Also, I'd like to point out the fact that no one is doling out publishing to Elvis Costello means likely Taylor and Paramore both asked for this. Taylor stans were truly delusional insisting Olivia probably offered it spontaneously and Taylor would never ask for publishing, as if Taylor is not known to be litigious.

it's not "his" definition, interpolation in music is literally means that you take a melody of a previous song and modify it a bit giving it new context and new lyrics or "interpolating" it. It end up not being a cover but also not really a new original song, that's what olivia did here or what ariana did with 7 rings though in her case she made it more evident, it might also be seen as a direct inspiration from other specific song.

If none of his arguments putting the songs together and specifically naming the similarities between notes PLUS Olivia having to give them credit for interpolation are enough to convince you the artist of a massive label did not just succumb to a silly internet rant, then go off, nothing to do here

It would have been actually iconic if Taylor issued a statement only charging Olivia $1 for the cruel summer situation 

truly best friend things

oh, i'm sorry if was rude, really not my intention, i was just trying to make a point, but i understand, i'm sorry.

I’m with Elvis Costello on this one. I  think Swift and Paramore overstepped.

[Killa 17,891]

I still think 50 percent royalties for paramore is completala unfair and disgusting from them. 
there simples arent enough elements to justify the 50%. The similarities start a bar before the chorus. Which id say is the  Moment i can say for sure one is inspired by the other and not anu other 100 songs like these.

overall the most important is that the songs have a complete new life. She does imitate the singers in the songs she draws inspiration, like going to a falsetto, aggressive tone or a Belt. Exactly like the inspiration.

its more of a pastiche than a copy.

and you guys jeep Talking about btw. Its not only the song, the whole álbum, gaga picks this and that from many influentes, from Lyrical content to vocal style, harmony and instrumentation
