What other song does the line of the chorus remind you of?

Eurovision-ready and listening to Sweden.
But the first line/two lines of the chorus reminds me of a different song entirely
Anyone else? Has been driving me mad all day.

Shallow by Lady Gaga

Watch this!

That’s crazy, they’re exactly the same Shock

I know. And she knows it, because she's sung the Gaga / Star Is Born song 'Shallow' at a concert.

Seems like plaigarism to me.

You're welcome.

Nul points for Sweden from me. I mean, why not just put a UK singer in belting out 'You're Simply The Best'? Seems fair.

(Although I think Sam Ryder should do well.)

So do ten bars count as a sample?! Wink

That's reminding me of 'There She Goes' by the La's, @BracedlnEndIessJanuary

(Which I've now had to put on You Tube)

Could Sweden not find someone who could actually sing? She's stuck so much vocal fry in that she's sliding off half the notes

Last year's ESC also had a Lady Gaga rip-off in the form of Cyprus' entry 'El Diablo', which was verrry similiar to Bad Romance.

Not a Eurovison thing, but that current George Ezra 'Green Green Grass' chorus is a massive fucking rip off of The Might Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo) by a very off their tits early Manfred Mann.

I have to turn the radio down when it's on.
