i had already post a comment about this in a spanish section but i think that everyone should be able to discuss it.

this monday i was watching a mexican TV show called "valvula de escape" , and they said that Shakira stole the chords from "clocks" for a song called "la pared" that´s in her new CD "fijación oral 1"..i´ve already heard it and yes it´s sounds like the principal chords of "clocks"....what do you think about this?

Well, first of all I would like to know whether Coldplay KNOW that the chords are in Shakira's song or if she really STOLE it - but no matter if she has the permission or not, I think it sucks, because I don't like Shakira's songs at all and I'll definetely try to prevent myself from listening to her song, because otherwise it may ruin "Clocks" for me.. Anyway, I guess it's a question of taste :lol:

she didn´t have permission, they said that on the TV show..they even looked inside the cd box and everything hoping to find a "thanks to EMI for ..." but they didn´t found anything...

i want to hear it :stunned: :/ :confused:

i spy a white label remix...

I like shakira but if she killed one of coldplay's beats :angry:

:P

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

SHAKIRA SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry:

^^^BINGO

I just heard it, and at about 35 seconds into the song the drums come in and it has a similar beat to clocks and also the keyboard plays arpeggios that are rhythmically like clocks but they arent the exact same chords. Also the ''sound'' of her song 'La Pared' is terrible, it sounds so fake and lifeless. what bad production.

that's a horrible news :angry: :(

Well, I don't really think that it is like Clocks too much, simply to the fact that it sounds SO bad. Really sounds like shit.

Shakira always makes shit

can anybody post a link where to listen the song 'la pared' please :)

 

i didn't listen this song so... i can say what i think about...

 

*goes to check shakira site*

i want a link too!!!! :P

si las robó :stunned:

 

si suenan muy poquito, como unos 5 segundos

 

yes it sound like are the same chords, just like 5 second but it sound like the same

 

http://www.shakira.com/

click where the pics says 'music' click the red album (first on the left) and then click where says 'listen' on 'la pared'. :idea2:

y sigue un poco en la base de la cancion tambien :stunned:

awww man, why did she have to go and do that?

It just sounds strange to me!

Those aren't the same chords, but the progression is the same. Same 8 note-type with two groups of 3 and 2 at the end.

 

Hey, it's funny that everyone's talking about ripping off Coldplay, when they were inspired by a rift from Rush.

Shakira is not that bad. Well, she is now but before she became popular in the states we was pretty good.

Hey, it's funny that everyone's talking about ripping off Coldplay, when they were inspired by a rift from Rush.

 

what Rush song is that by any chance?

MY SECOND POST! oh joy!

 

wow...look at all you! well...im a decent pianist...and in my opinion...i dont think she stole anything...It's a moderately simlar rhythm...but i imagine that its pretty hard to write a song that has a rythm that no ones ever tried before...

 

...theres only so much u can do with four notes and a shitty synthesizer...cmon now...leave the girl alone...

 

Also, don't believe everything "valvula de escape" tells u...

 

and Also, creo que shakira is hotttttt.... :kiss:

 

buenas tardes,

 

mmmmmatty

That would be "Countdown"

how could she! even thought its not the EXACT same thing, when people hear it they will know they have heard that before

I listened to it on iTunes and it sounds alot like (shit) the riff from Clocks.

 

...Meerrrughhh.

SHAKIRA SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry:

 

 

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
