The new song, actually a Fergie song, "Fergilicious" is total copy of JJ Fad's Supersonic(I havent checked the credits so Im not sure if they credit it as a cover song). I hate these groups nowadays becoming famous and rich from others' creativity and hard work, I mean, Ive heard covers which are very different from the original, even ones which develop the song more than the original(like Stevie Ray Vaughan taking some riffs from Jimi Hendrix's "Little WIng" and developing a longer song) but STILL CREDITING the original author for the song and keeping the original name of the song.
But the Black eyed peas especially just use other famous musical motifs and add new lyrics or other beats in many of their hits. Cant they do something original? or simply be called a cover band, but not an original artist!?!?!?!?
