Is it a rip of the ad-libs? Yes. Unquestionably. Its it enough to sue over? Meh.
I wouldn't put too much on it. Just my opinion.
Covid got em' trying to squeeze every dime out, tho.

Just settle and get it over with. Fuck losing this and putting the lawyer's kids through Stanford.
Seriously though, why do people do this shit? Just be original or get the paperwork done right prior.

Its close.
Just like the TLC vs. Sheeran one if someone didn't completely break it down for me?
I would NEVER have heard the similarities

That's a hell of a stretch... Funds must be real light for Cece.
"Your Honor, this is a frivolous case and the plaintiff is clearly trying to extend the courts jurisdiction into extortion.
The plaintiff clearly says; "Yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea, owww. Yea-yea, yea-yea, yea-yea, oww."
And my client, clearly says; "Yah-yah-ee, yah-yah, yah-yah."
"Yah-yah" is NOT "Yea-yea!"
And furthermore my client starts her lyric with "yah-yah-ee".... the plaintiff ENDS hers with an "oww." There is no "oww" except for the pain and anguish my client has faced since the plaintiff has made her very public allegations!"
Haha.... she bit that shit tho

If robin thicke can raked over the coals for doing a song that FEELS like a marvin gaye song then this case is stong for cece...
SETTLEMENT!
SETTLEMENT!
It's a commercial right? Did fat momma even write that?
This is a tough one. Right now, I can't call it.
How the fuck is this a lawsuit?
She didn't even use words. Just 4 notes and some nonsense syllables.
and no, she didn't use a 40 second clip. at most it was 10 seconds repeated twice. either way it's a moot point because CeCe's seven second claim is complete garbage. There is no minimum or maximum amount of time that you're allowed to copy. Every case is different depending on context.
on top of that the songs are 26 years apart in two completely different genres. if you're wondering why Lizzo didn't ask permission first it's probably because she either hadn't heard it or completely forgot about it.
This would be like the Beatles suing Rae Sremmurd for using a throwaway line from "Day Tripper".
No, I take that back. This is way dumber

Yeah Cece was wrong about that part. It's an identical 7 note melodic sequence that determines plagiarism as far as anything having the number 7 has to do with it. It's not about song having over 7 seconds of something sounding similar. As that goes, the only part that was close to identical was the repeat of "yeah yeah" or "yah yah". But even there, there is no change in the melody. It's a repeat of the same note.
no - its not a reach -
its a direct lift
plus the work already has sync money from the commercial?
Atlantic is already on the phone trying to fix this
dude...
thats multiple notes (+7) in a melody....
I disagree and absent a ruling this is your opinion presented as fact
What bearing does the song's placement have on the veracity of the plagiarism claim?
Not the same melody though
And the ad lib in question is comprised of 1- one of the most used words in the English fucking language and 2- another word that isn't even replicated.
Cadence is the only thing that cece remotely has going for her and that's flimsy
Lizzo is singing over a different melody but the vocal run is the
same cadence same melody as Finally
no bearing on veracity,
the placment is a signifigant financial incentive for the owners of Finally's publishing
In other news, Black Box sues Lil Uzi Vert for the use of the chord F sharp minor.
You're not wrong. Rhythm is an aspect of melody. So then that comes into play too.
Interesting. There are precedents though so we'll have to see.
There is a section of that melody that is the same sequence of notes repeated. Where it lies in the respective phrases of their songs is different. Lizzo starts her phrase with a different set of notes...but as it progresses, melodically it's the same for like 6 notes (even though it's the same note repeated over and over, pitch wise) as Cece's phrase in her song (which begins with the notes in question).
You mean Lizzo is singing over a different chord progression, which is true.
Thank you. I am in here late.
You are the only intelligent person in this thread it seems.
BGOL thought Robin Thicke and Pharrell were liable, but not Lizzo?
Pharrell should not have lost that lawsuit.
Lizzo is actually guilty!!!
Y'all BGOL niggas are the worst.

Apparently Cece confirmed Lizzo cut a big check.
Really good. I actually spoke to Cece about this in several convos and recommended lawyers for her.
Hilarious...
