Alizee and Coldplay are a topic of conversation in Europe. Mainly because Coldplay is in the middle of their European Tour.
It just does not want to go away.
Here is an article regarding the subject.
It is in French, if you want to read it use babelfish.com, copy and paste the URL and you can stumble through it.
Yes, I know it translates Alizee to Geostrophic if you use the French to English option.
So what of this 'Alizee business' as they say. It appears the public would like some thing more from Coldplay.
Some say yes, some no, but what I do not understand are the few that state that Coldplay emptied the racks of their CD's and Alizee did not. What does that have to do with anything? AND, if we take the "classic" J'en Ai Marre (JEAM), you know which one I mean and give it to Itunes and they flood the world with it in their commericials on TV as they did with Coldplay, I think it would fly off the shelves.
We shall see what developes. Coldplay has another month in Europe, I think they hit Canada October 20.
As a little visual side treat from December 2007, if you click on Alizee's name in the article it takes further along, but to save you some time, click here.

The only thing in the two songs that are exactly the same are the chord progressions and it is a very common chord progression. Chord progressions cannot be copyrighted. You can only copyright lyrics, melody, an arrangement or score. The lyrics are definitely different and the melody may sound similar, but they are distinctively not the same. It's a weak case and I don't think Alizee will win.
I agree, similar, but copied, I can't say that.
Alizee case...she did not write the song, I don't think it would be a case for her if indeed there was one.
And what does Chris Martin think about Coldplay and plagiarism in general?
“We’re definitely good, but I don’t think you can say we’re that original,” he notes. “I regard us as being incredibly good plagiarists.”
