i thought i just heard “listen to your heart” (the base) out of my sister’s room (through the door) and it would be courious, because she doesn’t like roxette BUT: it was *oh-my-god* EMINEM ... the song is called “mockingbird” out of his new album “encore” ...
i think, if “jenny and i” is plagiarism, “mockingbird” is stolen too ;) what do you think?

hmmmmm - that fact that they are called Roxette doesn’t cry out originality to me. but i love them none the less.

I agree with you Joyrider,,,He used cords from LTYH for real...It’s sad that an artist like Eminem wanted to do something like this....Shame!

If using those chords is plagiarism Rock and Roll would have stopped existing by 1960.

Hopefully, this song will be released as a single, cos I don’t want to buy the whole album just to check things out.

I am just listening to Eminems song for the first time now and I see what you mean... but I really think this is just pure coincidence!!!

I think a large percentage of rap/hip-hop “borrows” other people’s music. Honest opinion...I think some artists are running out of ideas, which is kinda sad.
To the artists that do this: If you need an original, ask Per Gessle for advice! ;)
