On July 5, VaVa, "China's No. 1 female rapper", suddenly became a hot search topic. However, this hot search was not glorious because her songs were suspected of plagiarizing the arrangements of Yan Haoxiang and .
Yan Haoxiang was originally a new-generation male idol. He came from the -era youth group and was the younger brother of TFBOYS. Two people who had nothing to do with each other were connected in this way.
After this hot search came out, many netizens on the Internet still support VaVa. After listening to the two songs, they think that there is not much overlap between the two songs, at least it does not constitute plagiarism.
Later, Yan Haoxiang's arranger also came out to speak, personally clarifying for VaVa, saying that as the arranger of Yan Haoxiang's song "Y", he did not hear any similarities.
I thought that this hot search would be an own thing, but the matter did not end here. There are still some public opinions fermenting. Many netizens believe that even if VaVa did not plagiarize Yan Haoxiang, she did plagiarize Spicy Chicken, Well-known singers such as Hyuna , and even Yan Haoxiang's clarification Weibo, the comments were overturned.
Some netizens posted a set of evidence for comparison. From this evidence, it can be heard that songs such as "You Should Know My Name" by VaVa are very similar to the arrangements of songs by Malaji and HyunA.
In addition to the arrangement, there are also some suspicions about the lyrics. The lyrics of "My New Clothes" are very similar to the lyrics of the foreign song "GUCCI CUCCI". It seems that the English version has been changed into a Chinese version.
It can be said that netizens have long had doubts about whether VaVa plagiarized or not, but this hot search became a trigger, causing the suspicion to completely explode.
VaVa watched her entire turmoil, and posted a Weibo update at noon that day, to the effect that someone was taking things out of context. In the future, the screenshots must be released in full, implying that someone was stirring up trouble between her and Yan Haoxiang. . However, she deleted it immediately after posting the post.
After the plagiarism scandal intensified, VaVa's management company urgently issued a solemn statement on the Internet, saying that VaVa is a creative female singer who has always focused on music, respects originality, and has not plagiarized any other works. , and if there are still people who slander or maliciously attack, the company will also take various means to pursue legal responsibility.
However, under this statement, there are still netizens who feel that she is evading important matters.
It is normal for the arrangements of modern pop music to have certain similarities, especially now that the public’s aesthetic needs are similar. There are also some “routine-based” models in the music market. Some tunes are catchy and are very useful in pop songs. It is common, and sometimes, it is because the inspiration and brainstorming of two singers accidentally collided. This cannot be regarded as plagiarism.
However, if the arrangement of a song collides with several songs one after another, it is indeed difficult to explain clearly, and there may be elements of reference.
VaVa had previously posted an article accusing others of plagiarism. At that time, she posted a paragraph online, saying, "Say it when you pick up the words!" And coincidentally, this incident happened on July 5, 2020, just before this time The storm happened two years ago.
Netizens found out that the person she was connoting was Liu Xiening, a debut student of " Creation Camp 2020". Liu Xiening sang a song during the competition, and some of the lyrics were similar to the song written by VaVa, "life's" a struggle" lyrics are almost identical.
This makes people feel even more sad. The female singer-songwriter who openly mocked others for "taking lyrics" is now suspected of plagiarism. It seems that in music creation, it is difficult to make a conclusion about right and wrong. In the future, singers When we write lyrics, we should be more cautious and don't arouse suspicion because of similar things!
