The 'Amazing' EP is out now, buy it from iTunes UK: bit.ly/wgwbql Music video by Matt Cardle performing Amazing. (c) 2011 Simco Limited under exclusive license to Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited
Me. The choruses are undeniably similar but the rest of it not so much. I'm really confused as to why he would rip off another song when he has written plenty of his own hits...also why is this just coming out now? Makes me sad.
That's not really the standard for determining infringement. That a substantial segment shares 70% of the same notes and chord progression is kind of a slam dunk. Also Sheeran didn't write Photograph by himself; it was co-written with Johnny McDaid, which means either or both of them may have been responsible for lifting the chorus.
It's been "out" for as long as Potograph is. Matt's been having his fun with it during his own performances, too, although he's not the originator of this law suit. He only seem to have put his own cheeky twist on the affair by mashing up his and Ed's choruses on several occasions. "Eire Creative" did a professional video that has the chorus alternating between Matt and Ed: "Matt Cardle VS Ed Sheeran" [ fKAvfGvJWGA ]. Starting at 51s.
I can't believe how this musician is getting hate. Guys, the people behind the lawsuit are the writers of the song! And you don't have the right to tell whether it does or does not violate copyright, it's up to the people at the court. Stop spreading hate! Just enjoy the music!
I think it is a big deal, it takes a lot of work to think of things and it is not fair if a shady person (or perhaps worse, someone who does not think very well and actually thinks that they came up with that themselves when they didn't ) steals it and makes millions off of it.
+greimalkin it is a big deal but it does not mean that people should go around hating on other people. There is already so much hate in this world it is pretty tiring.
Same, massive Ed Sheeran fan here - I initially came to Amazing to see for myself just how similar Amazing and Photograph were and I came out with another favourite song - both songs are.. amazing
I imagine the huge amount of dislikes came from Ed Sheeran fans. -.- It's a pretty good song and this guy doesn't deserve all the hate - it's the label that sued Ed. Stop it already. You make no sense.
POINTS TO NOTICE: -Matt Cardle ISN'T suing Ed Sheeran. -The songwriters are suing Ed. [Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard] - Stop commenting that he's "money hungry" because it's the songwriters, not Matt.
thank you! I've never heard of Matt before but I felt compelled to come out here and defend him because of the stupid headlines that make incompetent people think he's the one that suing!
Matt Cardle may be one of the credited songwriters but its two specific songwriters of the five Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard who are suing, and not Matt Cardle himself.
Wayne Catlin exactly. Fucking money hungry cunts grasping at straws. Billions of songs and people expect there to not be similarities between some? I'd understand if it were lyrical plagiarism, but this is just so far off.
But also how can you hate the guy whose song came out first? LOL. People are crazy, makes no sense. The songwriters have substantial enough reason to file this lawsuit. The choruses are the same.
How can we be sure that Ed heard this song? Are we sure that this wasn't just a coincidence? The odds of someone writing a similar song is so big that we can't even be sure that we "copied it"
I do not think they are identical they sound just a bit similar but like every guitar song has some of the same chords it is what they have to work with the chords go nicely together and can make a good song. I do not think Ed Sheeran should be sued for having a good taste in music and using some of the same chords that he uses. I personally do not like these lyrics but the song does have amazing instrumental talent.
This song speaks to me deeply. I hear the story of Grace penetrating the darkness and amazingly reaching me. I was so lost but He never gave up on me until I saw.
I read the article on the internet and was skeptical, as I thought there wasn't that much similar with Blurred Lines and Got to Give It Up, but yeah, anyone who says they can't hear it is either tone deaf or just kidding themselves. It's exactly the same. Doesn't matter that it's a small part of the song. It the fucking main hook of the chorus.
I agree, I clicked on this song ready to believe there was no way they'd sound the same. The start reaffirmed that belief, however, during the chorus I felt like I was listening to photograph. I've never been able to pick up on bits that songs copy, and this one was just plain obvious. Most of the people saying it doesn't have any similarities don't realise that ed isn't being sued for copying the entire song, but rather just parts of it. They also don't want to believe that the allegations could be true.
but hey, this song has released 1 year ago but why he sue ed now? cuz he wait photograph to be popular enough so he can win a 20$million case. matt is a loser
I heard photograph and thought...bloody hell that reminds me of Matt Cardle's song. Not sure how people are defending Ed Sheeran saying Matt copied him when this song came out in 2011 and photograph came out much later. Ed is a great songwriter but ya gotta give credit where it's due man!
@@autismo3405 its amazing how if the songs dont have similar words, people say its not that similar. You could remove the lyrics to this song and play the chorus for any number of ed sheeran fans and they would think its his song and not Matts. Its delusional to say they aren't similar. You can say its not a copy, but arent that similar? Its crack that you are smoking.
How did you find me? Inside a pocket of your ripped jeans It's kind of amazing how you found me You won't even be alone And if you hurt me Broke through the darkness and you reach me Inside these pages you just hold me Through all the strangers somehow

man i feel bad for this guy. he's getting dislikes from fans of ed sheeran. i dont think he deserves it, he doesnt have anything to do with the lawsuit.
Very doubtful they are fans of Ed. Fans of hype more likely, and Ed's the hype atm - which is sadly and strongly linked to attracting the most vaccuous followers possible.
Anna 1234321 Vacuous much? 1) He's been singing Ed's chorus just for LOLz of it during his own live performances since 2014 2) He's NOT part of this law suit. The originators of the melody are.

I feel like he's singing this song to me, that somehow he found me through all the din and noise of the world and quieted it all with his 'amazing' voice.. Thanks, Matt, for making me remember the world still offers miracles for those who listen.....
Oh Lord...that wonderful voice! Go and see him live..all you people on here...he sounds even better live. And what a performer...don't know what you're missing!
Arwen Evenstar My wife took me to one of his live concerts in 2015. Wasn't much looking forward to it but....WRONG! The musicianship and Matt's voice were exceptional. One of best gigs I've ever been to and one of the best voices I have ever heard live.
Amazing. A man with a voice as pure as gold. To me he is a contemporary bard with rare skills. A clearmusic revival. A real pleasure to listen to. Curious for his next album.
Never say Matt till searching around for something new tonight. Amazing, beautiful and I don't say it often. Even put on my Facebook page. Matt's voice and soul are just from another world. Thanks for something new a 60 year old woman loved
Here is my man!!!!!!!!! Friends and I really love you since the X factor 2010. We love you so much. The way you sing, the way you react, the song and your voice! Beautiful!!! Great!!!! Forever we support you brother. So proud of you mate. ❤️❤️❤️
Coz it isn't ripped off. Aside from one line which is vaguely similar if you really listen for it, Amazing is just a very bland pop song that sounds just like a bunch of other bland pop songs. Not Amazing at all - even the name is unoriginal!
For people saying he stole the tune from Ed Sheeran, he didn't. This video was posted 9 years ago, and Ed Sheeran's was posted 6 years ago. Obviously his was posted first, so there's no point hating this song, it's a great song :)
You are accidentally 100% right....BECAUSE MATT IS NOT THE ONE SUING HIM.......Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard are the writers of the song and they filed the lawsuit. Matt has nothing to do with it and won't see a dime of that money if they win because he has nothing to do with it. smh
• Roaming randomly on CZcams. • Accidently played this song. • liked it very much • go through some comments • war was going on between Ed group and Matt group. • closed comment section. • played the song once again
We can't blame Matt Cardle THE CHORUS SOUNDS VERY MUCH SIMILAR. I don't think he did this coz of jealously. Seriously Sheeran fans (I'm one too) cannot accuse this man like this.
Loved him since he was on X factor, fell in love with his voice as soon as I saw his audition. Listen to him sing on it live he is mind blowing. Extremely underrated
There are literally millions of songs in existence, some will inevitably share similarities. And of course songwriters will inevitably get influenced by other songwriters, both consciously and subconsciously. I don't think that's a reason to kick up a fuss. Unfortunately, with Marvin Gaye's family suing for Blurred Lines and Tom Petty accusing Sam Smith of plagiarism, I think the precedent has now been well and truly set; from now on songwriters will feel like they're treading on eggshells and will constantly be asking themselves "Oh wait, does this part sound too similar to this song?" and "Is that chord progression too close to that song?" It could seriously affect the quality of songwriting. Artists will end up altering a catchy melody for fear it sounds vaguely like one in another song, whilst others will just not bother writing songs out of fear of being accused of plagiarism. I hate greedy, deluded people and the people making these sort of claims are greedy and delusional.
i agree with you 100% this type of thing should stop. I write songs and the song writing community are paranoid you can't bring out a song unless someone sues a person its gone out of hand.
Another great fact about Matt, is all his songs are so poetic. Very rare to find.Some artist will start out that way in their careers, but tend to drift off the path. Matt is such a unique artist that i don't think it is possible for him to drift away from what and who he truly is.
Except... the most substantial and identifiable portions of each song (i.e. the chorus, which is what usually ends up stuck in your head) are exactly identical.
guys, the song is similar, but not equal. This song in the end looks like clokcs-coldplay, but the lyrics are different, the riff is different, are two songs different. I love Ed, and looks like this but just a little. Like I said, 0,2%. sorry about my English.
Matt Cardle is a talented artist in his own right and he should be more popular than he is because he sings songs from the heart. Im not a massive fan as such but this song is fantastic and the stupid politics that goes on in the music industry, is not stopping Matt from doing his own thing which is a lesson to us all. anthotyher artist that has more talent than Fame and success is Dencie person form five star. There are many taklented people but such people enjoy their music.....
All of you saying Ed Sheeran ripped this song are just saying it because there is a lawsuit. I'm not a fan of Sheeran's music but as a musician I have to say the similarities are minimal and just by coincidence. I invite you to listen to the Axis of Awesome "Four Chord Song" and see how every pop song ever fit into the same four chords. This lawsuit isn't going too far. (My opinion).
If you truly believe that the similarities are so minimal that they are insignificant , you either haven't listened to the song or you are an awful musician.
You know, a LOT of songs sounds like other songs....with millions of songs out there, how could songs NOT sound alike sometimes? Maybe a lot of times? I just don't get these lawsuits.
the real SHAME is that nobody talks about the fact that this guy has just 5 millions wievs, and he ACTUALLY created that melody. The power of the image and the labels is bigger than the power of music though
Ed's song got artificially hyped to high hell bc it was set to become a movie track, too. That also might be the reason why the label/Ed chose to let the issue drag on for 2 years without acknowledging efforts from the chorus writers (not Matt) to get in touch. coz slapping an officially disputed song on a movie might not have gone over so well with the film studio. Promo stunts have become a self-serving farce, and everyone cries how they're burning money doing it, still they can't help themselves. Matt otoh kept his head down bc he literally had better things to do when the law suit hit. He'd just started his UK tour and even tho he could've done with a bit of promo for that, he cut off all media outreach for over 2 weeks and focussed on making music. He's been pretty consistent with shying away from hyped stunts, too.
I'm a HUGE Ed Sheeran fan, but I'm not gonna lie: the choruses of Amazing and Photograph sound exactly alike. If it's true that Ed copied the chorus, I'm not gonna know what to do with myself.
No one ever doubts Ed Sheeran’s talent, hope all the fans could accept there are plenty of amazing singers out there. Let’s enjoy the music with big hearts.
Ed Sheeran is such a class act that I do not see him intentionally copying this song. I did hear a little of what some would say sounds similar but... I dont know, 20 million bucks though...?
I love Ed Sheeran so much. I thought this was going to be like the lawsuit against Justin Beiber. I was prepared to hear one or two notes similar and feel like it was ridiculous like everyone else. But wow...that chorus is almost note for note. I don't know if Ed co-wrote Photograph (might have been a cowriter that came up with the melody), or even when he wrote the song (I know it was about a past relationship that was several years ago, so if he was to have written in whilst they were in relationship this song could have easily just hit the market). Regardless, I feel bad for both parties. As a songwriter myself, sometimes I hope a chorus I write isn't already out there!! But yeah...poor Ed AND poor Matt. Hope everything works out.
Love the lyrics of this! Matt should be internationally known? I never understand how things in music are trashed because a lot of stuff we never really hear...RADIO STATIONS PLAY IT!!!!!
Things have long been turned on its head in the music industry. In the last 2 decades it shifted from mainstream radio actually bothering promoting new stuff to blatantly refusing to put anything on that hasn't been promoted by other means. So screw them and actively look for music you like.
I remember when you were on x factor. Such an amazing voice. Glad to be reminded of you. I now live in Canada, so don't hear your songs on the radio. Off to download some to my Spotify ❤
36 notes in the chorus is the only bit they claim he copied. I think it was probably just a fluke they sound the same, but it doesn't look good for Ed.
1. Matt Cardle should be thankful that all of this is happening, because it's the most exposure he'll ever get. 2. Photograph is a HUGE song. Multiply was released two years ago. There's no way they JUST now heard it. Why would these songwriters have waited THIS long to take action? I'm calling BS.
We're not to know if they only just started legal proceedings. This could've been going on for quite a while and didn't come out until now for a number of legal reasons.
+misslolohannah Things like that always come through somehow.. Also the songwriters simply wanted to make money (or kind of stealing it from Ed?) They wouldn't care if it wasn't that famous
misslolohannah I'm majoring in Music Business in college, I can tell you with absolute certainty that if there were any allegations being made quite a while ago, information would have been revealed shortly. When Tom Petty was taking action against Sam Smith, the information was released to the public within days of the initial accusations.
Matt should be thankful? Crazy. Why he has to be thankful? The fact is always a fact, the chorus of both song is exactly the same And even if you are right that they have known it for long, this could not change the fact. Business is business, you made mistakes and you pay for it. Simple as that. Why do they have to take legal action right away after Photograph released if they can wait and see if this action is necessary? And if they know that the benefits will be huge if they can wait, only idiots dont do that. Stop defending Ed by saying he is genius or sth like that. Argue base on the fact, pleas
Matt Cardle is not the person who sued Ed Sheeran. In fact, he commented that Ed Sheeran is a very talented musician. Please stop disliking his video because he deserves better. Both songs' direction are different. I like both.
Yeah I actually don't know who is Matt Cardle. It's because I really admire and love Ed music. And the fact that he is sued for stealing people music sounds irksome to me.
Matt Cardle won the X Factor. You think it is annoying when people get caught doing something illegal? Let me guess, you are a Hillary Clinton supporter.
Couple of things: 1. Don’t leave dislikes on this video because of things that don’t have to do with this song’s singer. The songwriters sued Ed Sheeran, not Matt. 2. As far as I’m concerned, Ed is guilty of plagiarism. I say that as a fan of Ed Sheeran. 3. This isn’t the only song Ed has been accused of plagiarizing. There’s others like Let’s Get It On, Oh Why, etc.
*Congratulations* you both are in my uni's syllabus now under intellectual property infringement. Now i have to study bout you both for exam. Life's great
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination... Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic"
Okay, here are my thoughts on the lawsuit-thing... 1. Ed Sheeran is very talented and is really good at song-writing. He writes songs for other musicians. I highly doubt he copied from this song (let's be honest, this song is not very popular and most people had never heard of it before this lawsuit). 2. There are so many millions of songs out there that some of them are going to sound a little bit similar to each other. If I was to come up with a completely original melody right now off of the top of my head, it would probably sound very similar to thousands of other songs. 3. Maybe the chorus of these two songs is a little bit similar, in terms of the melody, but the lyrics are different, the tempo is different, the key is different, the background instruments are different, and even the melody isn't exactly the same, it just is quite similar. And the verses are not the same at all. Ed Sheeran should not be getting sued for this!! 4. 20 million dollars?! That's a bit greedy, if you ask me. 5. Although I think that Photograph is much better than this song, Matt Cardle is very talented, too, and he doesn't deserve the hate he's getting over this. He has nothing to do with the lawsuit...the guys who wrote the song do. Edit: I'm not an Ed Sheeran fan, I only know like 2 songs lol
+Khac Hung Nguyen why would Ed copy the song in the first place? He's very successful in his career. Plus, Photograph was written around 2013. Yes, maybe the chorus is identical, but it wasn't a total rip off. Those lawsuits only want it for the money.
DontmakemesaySwag You can have your opinions and everything but you don't have to be rude and try to hurt the feelings of others. I respect your opinion so just try to respect mine. :)
With all of the hundreds of millions of songs being written, can it not be a coincidence that 2 of them sound similar? Ed Sheeran is an extremely good songwriter, he's written a ton of great songs for himself and other musicians. He's also an extremely humble human being. The fact that people actually think he stole someone else's chorus is laughable.
+annabel molloy bcoz thats their right.. you dont let only that ginger get all the credits to a song that he plagiarize.. you dont let a criminal steal from u famous or not
Because they tried sorting it out discretely and obviously couldn't reach reach an acknowledgement and/or agreement. (Sorry if this should pop up twice. yt is playing the ghosting game again)
1st off matt cardle didnt even write the song 2nd the song writers are suing 3rd they want 20 million for a song not even worth that much money thats close to half ed net worth 4th its kind of hard to believe a song writer like ed stole it he writes songs for him self and plenty other singers
How did you find me? You came out of nowhere like lightning, It's kind of amazing how you found me, Through all the noise somehow. Oh, and how did you see me? Broke through the darkness, And you reached me, It's kind of amazing how you found me, Through all the strangers somehow. Funny because we all found this song through social media coverage on the lawsuit
I came here to listen to this song after finding the similarities it shares with Ed Sheeran's "Photograph". After listening closely it seems that the chorus part really have glaring similarities with "Photograph". But I don't mind it because Ed Sheeran is also a good musician. But for what I am most joyful that I found another great singer. I am not into this genre of songs that much so I don't know Ed Sheeran that much as well as Matt beforehand but after listening to this song I realized that I found another magnificent song. But I can't understand why there is so much dislikes to this song! Sometimes blind fan following can lead to a harmful world where the beauty of music losses it's grandeur to the blindness of personal favouritism.
🥺🥺😭😭😭I am a die heart Ed sheeran fan and yes it’s note is exactly the note from photograph! Now I don’t know what to do with this cause this song is also very good ! 😭😭😭😭😭
Who's here to see if really this song sounds like Ed Sheeran's Photograph?

The chorus is kinda very similar.. But then again how many chord combinations can there be that haven't been repeated in time
13.7 million pounds says not that many..
i see its not just me here for that reason.
The chord progression isn't at the frontline for plagiarism. The melodic shape is more or less the exact same.
+Moltakfire yeah, I could play you 100 different songs that all share the exact identical chord progression but they would all sound 100% different!!

Why tf you angry
Ed copied this
Not angry but kind of heartbroken, but this turned out to be a very sweet song ,🙌🏼

Exactly.
NPT Music Thank you. Unbelievable how dumb people are
the writers did the right thing ! its obviously blatantly similar
But also how can you hate the guy whose song came out first? LOL. People are crazy, makes no sense. The songwriters have substantial enough reason to file this lawsuit. The choruses are the same.

I feel like he's singing this song to me, that somehow he found me through all the din and noise of the world and quieted it all with his 'amazing' voice.. Thanks, Matt, for making me remember the world still offers miracles for those who listen.....
Oh Lord...that wonderful voice! Go and see him live..all you people on here...he sounds even better live. And what a performer...don't know what you're missing!
Arwen Evenstar My wife took me to one of his live concerts in 2015. Wasn't much looking forward to it but....WRONG! The musicianship and Matt's voice were exceptional. One of best gigs I've ever been to and one of the best voices I have ever heard live.
Adrian Evenstar how lucky are you I can only dream from the other side of the world..... One Day!!!!
For a moment forget about the lawsuit and just listen to this beautiful song ! ❤️
Im a huge fan of ed sheeran and listening to this song genuinely made me say... wow good song
Amazing. A man with a voice as pure as gold. To me he is a contemporary bard with rare skills. A clearmusic revival. A real pleasure to listen to. Curious for his next album.
Never say Matt till searching around for something new tonight. Amazing, beautiful and I don't say it often. Even put on my Facebook page. Matt's voice and soul are just from another world. Thanks for something new a 60 year old woman loved
Here is my man!!!!!!!!! Friends and I really love you since the X factor 2010. We love you so much. The way you sing, the way you react, the song and your voice! Beautiful!!! Great!!!! Forever we support you brother. So proud of you mate. ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing released 2012. Photograph released 2015.
Guy stop the hate. This song is really beautiful.
Photograph was written in 2005.
When was amazing? If you know?
How has it taken two years for the writers to realise Ed Sheeran has ripped this off. Photograph was a huge song.. I don't get it
Yeah. The chorus is practically the same. Instantly recognisable. I don't understand why it took them this long...
Coz it isn't ripped off. Aside from one line which is vaguely similar if you really listen for it, Amazing is just a very bland pop song that sounds just like a bunch of other bland pop songs. Not Amazing at all - even the name is unoriginal!
Whatever. Keep denying the bloody obvious.
Probably because of the movie trailer.
Annie are you serious? Grow up. Apart from the lyrics the chorus is exactly the same. Clear your ears out.
This song is good... But look at the irony of the chorus lyrics... "how did you find me?" Ans - well thru the law suit!
"How did you find me?"
"Inside the pocket of my ripped jeans."
Obvious! LOL
***** hahaha
if only people could stop being savage.... Keep going.
I found this song because of Rick Dees countdown talking about the lawsuit as well. lol
Haha yeah .. 😅
For people saying he stole the tune from Ed Sheeran, he didn't. This video was posted 9 years ago, and Ed Sheeran's was posted 6 years ago. Obviously his was posted first, so there's no point hating this song, it's a great song :)
Keep adding "wait for me to come home" in my head
How did you find me? Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans ;-)
@@Julia68yt Or inside the necklace you got when you were 16
The only thing Matt will win are the views of us checking whether the song looks somehow similar to photograph or not...
You are accidentally 100% right....BECAUSE MATT IS NOT THE ONE SUING HIM.......Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard are the writers of the song and they filed the lawsuit. Matt has nothing to do with it and won't see a dime of that money if they win because he has nothing to do with it. smh
+ithnkilvu ithnkilvu omg yes
+lulilinda2020 lol dont know if stupid or trolling ^
The voice fits this song so well, it sounds like a music instrument. A very smooth one at that.
Perfect description of Matt's voice. I wrote exactly the same on my review of his first album when I stumbled upon it :)
• Roaming randomly on CZcams.
• Accidently played this song.
• liked it very much
• go through some comments
• war was going on between Ed group and Matt group.
• closed comment section.
• played the song once again
Ranadeep Kundu hahaa..guilty ✋✋👐👐✌✌😂😂
Ranadeep Kundu you made me laugh you're so cute
I love you.
ALL OF US MATT FANS NEED TO GET HIM MEGA FAMOUS AGAIN! LETS ALL SHARE HIS MUSIC AND STUFF HE TOTALLY DESERVES IT!!
only the chorus sounds similar at all to Photograph. Otherwise, they are completely different.
Yes, its similar but not exactly the msn made it sound like it was directly copied, which is stupid Ed is being charged...
The chorus is basically note for note
yass
And thats enough for a law suit.
it's the chorus man. they have,the same melody.
We can't blame Matt Cardle THE CHORUS SOUNDS VERY MUCH SIMILAR. I don't think he did this coz of jealously. Seriously Sheeran fans (I'm one too) cannot accuse this man like this.
matt is not the one suing.
its the song writers suing Sheeran not Matt.
+umang punk Matt's one of the songwriters lol
The song writers are greedy bastards.
True but they could've sued Ed ages ago,probably doing it now after Ed is more popular. -_-
20 million ..... wow
yep.
I am glad there was a lawsuit, it made me discover this guy. He is amazing
Same
But photograph is better.
@@kibirius doesn't matter if Ed Sheeran make better version of this song, he should sample's this song legally
@@kibirius says you...I just discovered this song after hearing about the lawsuit and personally, I like this better :)
Loved him since he was on X factor, fell in love with his voice as soon as I saw his audition. Listen to him sing on it live he is mind blowing. Extremely underrated
There are literally millions of songs in existence, some will inevitably share similarities. And of course songwriters will inevitably get influenced by other songwriters, both consciously and subconsciously. I don't think that's a reason to kick up a fuss.
Unfortunately, with Marvin Gaye's family suing for Blurred Lines and Tom Petty accusing Sam Smith of plagiarism, I think the precedent has now been well and truly set; from now on songwriters will feel like they're treading on eggshells and will constantly be asking themselves "Oh wait, does this part sound too similar to this song?" and "Is that chord progression too close to that song?" It could seriously affect the quality of songwriting. Artists will end up altering a catchy melody for fear it sounds vaguely like one in another song, whilst others will just not bother writing songs out of fear of being accused of plagiarism.
I hate greedy, deluded people and the people making these sort of claims are greedy and delusional.
It's kind of creepy how you said nearly exactly said everything I had on my mind. But seriously, preach dude.
Couldn't have said it any better, why don't people just chill out and enjoy the music...
The whole Marvin Gaye family is just a cluster fuck of greed.
i agree with you 100% this type of thing should stop. I write songs and the song writing community are paranoid you can't bring out a song unless someone sues a person its gone out of hand.
artists can no longer can answer the question "who are your influenced you?" out of fear of being sued.
Another great fact about Matt, is all his songs are so poetic. Very rare to find.Some artist will start out that way in their careers, but tend to drift off the path. Matt is such a unique artist that i don't think it is possible for him to drift away from what and who he truly is.
A brilliant song, thank you Matt, the song that brought my husband and I together.
It's a great song Matt. Ignore the haters. This went straight to my playlist.
How did you find me? Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans~
LOL
xD good one
rofl
HAHAHA
what i was thinking
Keep thinking out loud dude 😘
It's like 0,2% that's sounds like photograph.
Are two songs COMPLETELY different.
Except... the most substantial and identifiable portions of each song (i.e. the chorus, which is what usually ends up stuck in your head) are exactly identical.
Yesss
I like your comment! Ed song is way better than this anyway!
You are musically ignorant if you think they're not different the chorus is exactly the same
guys, the song is similar, but not equal. This song in the end looks like clokcs-coldplay, but the lyrics are different, the riff is different, are two songs different. I love Ed, and looks like this but just a little. Like I said, 0,2%.
sorry about my English.
"How did you find me?" I found you because of the lawsuit, and I am so glad I did
Matt Cardle is a talented artist in his own right and he should be more popular than he is because he sings songs from the heart. Im not a massive fan as such but this song is fantastic and the stupid politics that goes on in the music industry, is not stopping Matt from doing his own thing which is a lesson to us all. anthotyher artist that has more talent than Fame and success is Dencie person form five star. There are many taklented people but such people enjoy their music.....
All of you saying Ed Sheeran ripped this song are just saying it because there is a lawsuit. I'm not a fan of Sheeran's music but as a musician I have to say the similarities are minimal and just by coincidence.
I invite you to listen to the Axis of Awesome "Four Chord Song" and see how every pop song ever fit into the same four chords. This lawsuit isn't going too far. (My opinion).
If the robin thicke blurred lines lawsuit could win this definitely could.
Note how it's the same bloodsucking lawyer bring the case to court
disagree :) the similarities is so big it is easily noticeable if you listen to both songs wholly.
If you truly believe that the similarities are so minimal that they are insignificant , you either haven't listened to the song or you are an awful musician.
Honestly they do sound pretty similar. And this is a good song!
You know, a LOT of songs sounds like other songs....with millions of songs out there, how could songs NOT sound alike sometimes? Maybe a lot of times? I just don't get these lawsuits.
They ain’t sound similar. They are the same.
It's identical vocal melody and Intrumental melody
Ed Sheeran is shameful. He stole the chorus note for note!
@@corza1239?
Who's here for the original chorus.. Matt voices always touch my hearts.. 😭😭😭
the real SHAME is that nobody talks about the fact that this guy has just 5 millions wievs, and he ACTUALLY created that melody. The power of the image and the labels is bigger than the power of music though
Ed's song got artificially hyped to high hell bc it was set to become a movie track, too. That also might be the reason why the label/Ed chose to let the issue drag on for 2 years without acknowledging efforts from the chorus writers (not Matt) to get in touch. coz slapping an officially disputed song on a movie might not have gone over so well with the film studio. Promo stunts have become a self-serving farce, and everyone cries how they're burning money doing it, still they can't help themselves.
Matt otoh kept his head down bc he literally had better things to do when the law suit hit. He'd just started his UK tour and even tho he could've done with a bit of promo for that, he cut off all media outreach for over 2 weeks and focussed on making music. He's been pretty consistent with shying away from hyped stunts, too.
I'm a HUGE Ed Sheeran fan, but I'm not gonna lie: the choruses of Amazing and Photograph sound exactly alike. If it's true that Ed copied the chorus, I'm not gonna know what to do with myself.
He denies it so it's a matter of believing.
He may have heard it somewhere and subconsciously thought of the tune while writing photograph without realizing.
+The Mad Hatter I was thinking the same thing
Case closed.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
I love ed, but this song is very beautiful matt. and this is the original one so thumbs up for giving us good music matt.
No one ever doubts Ed Sheeran’s talent, hope all the fans could accept there are plenty of amazing singers out there. Let’s enjoy the music with big hearts.
Yes, he's very talented. More than meets the eye. Or should I say, more than meets the ear.....
Best contestant of X factor ever
i dont care if photograph is identical to this song or not. This song is great. !
Yeahh man 😂😱👯 love em' both 👍🏼
I agree!
Both songs are incredible
Ed Sheeran is such a class act that I do not see him intentionally copying this song. I did hear a little of what some would say sounds similar but... I dont know, 20 million bucks though...?
I love this song!!! The first time I heard it was in 2014 when my dance group did a choreography for it.... For me, nothing can replace it.
This is a beautiful song. Photograph is definitely a copy of this
The chorus is like Ed Sheeran's Photograph
This song came out first so photograph sounds like this
Sits.
Damn now he getting sued
I love Ed Sheeran so much. I thought this was going to be like the lawsuit against Justin Beiber. I was prepared to hear one or two notes similar and feel like it was ridiculous like everyone else. But wow...that chorus is almost note for note. I don't know if Ed co-wrote Photograph (might have been a cowriter that came up with the melody), or even when he wrote the song (I know it was about a past relationship that was several years ago, so if he was to have written in whilst they were in relationship this song could have easily just hit the market). Regardless, I feel bad for both parties. As a songwriter myself, sometimes I hope a chorus I write isn't already out there!! But yeah...poor Ed AND poor Matt. Hope everything works out.
Love the lyrics of this! Matt should be internationally known? I never understand how things in music are trashed because a lot of stuff we never really hear...RADIO STATIONS PLAY IT!!!!!
Things have long been turned on its head in the music industry. In the last 2 decades it shifted from mainstream radio actually bothering promoting new stuff to blatantly refusing to put anything on that hasn't been promoted by other means. So screw them and actively look for music you like.
I remember when you were on x factor. Such an amazing voice. Glad to be reminded of you. I now live in Canada, so don't hear your songs on the radio. Off to download some to my Spotify ❤
the chorus sounds the same, the rest of the song not at all
yeah that true...
just similar. still different
36 notes in the chorus is the only bit they claim he copied. I think it was probably just a fluke they sound the same, but it doesn't look good for Ed.
Well they're not suing for the entire song anyway
If I came in your home and stole your TV but left everything else, am I innocent because I took nothing but the TV?
1. Matt Cardle should be thankful that all of this is happening, because it's the most exposure he'll ever get.
2. Photograph is a HUGE song. Multiply was released two years ago. There's no way they JUST now heard it. Why would these songwriters have waited THIS long to take action?
I'm calling BS.
Thought the same, really good move songwriters... :)
We're not to know if they only just started legal proceedings. This could've been going on for quite a while and didn't come out until now for a number of legal reasons.
+misslolohannah Things like that always come through somehow..
Also the songwriters simply wanted to make money (or kind of stealing it from Ed?)
They wouldn't care if it wasn't that famous
misslolohannah
I'm majoring in Music Business in college, I can tell you with absolute certainty that if there were any allegations being made quite a while ago, information would have been revealed shortly. When Tom Petty was taking action against Sam Smith, the information was released to the public within days of the initial accusations.
Matt should be thankful? Crazy. Why he has to be thankful? The fact is always a fact, the chorus of both song is exactly the same
And even if you are right that they have known it for long, this could not change the fact. Business is business, you made mistakes and you pay for it. Simple as that. Why do they have to take legal action right away after Photograph released if they can wait and see if this action is necessary? And if they know that the benefits will be huge if they can wait, only idiots dont do that.
Stop defending Ed by saying he is genius or sth like that. Argue base on the fact, pleas
Matt Cardle is not the person who sued Ed Sheeran. In fact, he commented that Ed Sheeran is a very talented musician. Please stop disliking his video because he deserves better. Both songs' direction are different. I like both.
i'm here because matt, i'm here because this song is AMAZING 😍😍😍 can't stop to hear this song😊
I love how everyone is here cuz of Ed Sheeran and not for Matt Cardle... Ed Sheeran just gave Matt Cardle thousands of accidental views.
Everyone wanted to hear the original.
Yeah I actually don't know who is Matt Cardle. It's because I really admire and love Ed music. And the fact that he is sued for stealing people music sounds irksome to me.
Matt Cardle won the X Factor. You think it is annoying when people get caught doing something illegal? Let me guess, you are a Hillary Clinton supporter.
lol I'm with you on that
yah , me too ... love Ed :")
this young man is almost purfect to me. ty so much matt for giving me and all the world what heaven sounds like. i love u honey. god bless u
origin of Photograph. I like this one and his sound more. Clean and Pure.
Couple of things:
1. Don’t leave dislikes on this video because of things that don’t have to do with this song’s singer. The songwriters sued Ed Sheeran, not Matt.
2. As far as I’m concerned, Ed is guilty of plagiarism. I say that as a fan of Ed Sheeran.
3. This isn’t the only song Ed has been accused of plagiarizing. There’s others like Let’s Get It On, Oh Why, etc.
Who's here for Ed Sheeran?!
Almost everyone.
Me.
me
HELL YEAH! HE DIDNT DO IT 👿☹️
how would he have gotten this music?
This should have a lot more views. It's an incredible song. He's really talented.
It's a good lyrical song but it's not presented like you're a superstar that is what you are. I think they copied of another song.
This song deserves 1.2B views
This song is 8000 times better than Photograph
Just 0.5 time
No it isn't. The video lacks those baby pictures in order to please the flock.
Matt you are an angel with the best voice in the world !!!
Love this song, It's the first song I met you. Don't be knocked down by those haters. Your voice is very powerful and warm!
*Congratulations* you both are in my uni's syllabus now under intellectual property infringement. Now i have to study bout you both for exam. Life's great
They should have Shape of You and that Oh Why song! Also the New Zealand National Party's Lose Youself ad.
How did the exam go?
@ can't remember the exact question, but it was okay
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination... Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic"
why isn't this song popular with 400 million views ???!!! I MEAN WTF !
Exactly
Majd ALdarabie welcome to 2015
This is about to get a whole lot more views, doubt it had any before they decided to try and sue Ed Sheeran #MarketingCampaign
Only that the actual complainants have nothing to do with this video, apart from providing the melody for the song.
this guy has nothing to do with the lawsuit. it's not a marketing campaign, the people who originally wrote the song at during. not Matt cardle.
This is much better!
No
@@luisoliveira8308 agreed
No it isn't. This video lacks those baby pictures in order to please the flock.
Honestly, this song maybe better than photograph XDDDD
Remember: He's not the one suing Ed Sheeran! He's trying to stay away from all that. Don't blame him for it!
Q: 'How did you find me?' sings Matt Cardle. A: (from the majority) Ed sheeran mate.
ooOOH-the chorus is almost identical! But this is a really beautiful song and I'm rlly glad I found it. This definitely deserves more recognition.
2010 was my favourite year of x factor and I am only listening this for the first time now!! Why???
And that falsetto at the end eargasm
Okay, here are my thoughts on the lawsuit-thing...
1. Ed Sheeran is very talented and is really good at song-writing. He writes songs for other musicians. I highly doubt he copied from this song (let's be honest, this song is not very popular and most people had never heard of it before this lawsuit).
2. There are so many millions of songs out there that some of them are going to sound a little bit similar to each other. If I was to come up with a completely original melody right now off of the top of my head, it would probably sound very similar to thousands of other songs.
3. Maybe the chorus of these two songs is a little bit similar, in terms of the melody, but the lyrics are different, the tempo is different, the key is different, the background instruments are different, and even the melody isn't exactly the same, it just is quite similar. And the verses are not the same at all. Ed Sheeran should not be getting sued for this!!
4. 20 million dollars?! That's a bit greedy, if you ask me.
5. Although I think that Photograph is much better than this song, Matt Cardle is very talented, too, and he doesn't deserve the hate he's getting over this. He has nothing to do with the lawsuit...the guys who wrote the song do.
Edit: I'm not an Ed Sheeran fan, I only know like 2 songs lol
Little bit similar? You got problems with your ears.
Just because Ed has written many good songs doesn't mean he would not have copied, ok?
+Khac Hung Nguyen why would Ed copy the song in the first place? He's very successful in his career. Plus, Photograph was written around 2013. Yes, maybe the chorus is identical, but it wasn't a total rip off. Those lawsuits only want it for the money.
omg its fucking obvious you 14 year olds fangirls need to clean you filhy ears.. it so obvious wtf
+DontmakemesaySwag that grammar gave me aids
DontmakemesaySwag You can have your opinions and everything but you don't have to be rude and try to hurt the feelings of others. I respect your opinion so just try to respect mine. :)
Ed Sheeran fans be like "It's just a coincidence"
With all of the hundreds of millions of songs being written, can it not be a coincidence that 2 of them sound similar? Ed Sheeran is an extremely good songwriter, he's written a ton of great songs for himself and other musicians. He's also an extremely humble human being. The fact that people actually think he stole someone else's chorus is laughable.
This song is garbage compared to Photograph
ED SHEERAN É REI
+Arnav Dhaka your opinion is also laughable cuz all of us don't know yet if it's really a coincidence or not
+WWElover darude sandstorm is better
Just Beautiful. An acoustic version of this song would sound so cool too!
Ed is a king , music is here to bring joy, stop being obsessed with money
I actually love this song and don't understand why Ed Sheeran fans are pissed at Matt Cardle when he wrote this song first!
Because those individuals are fans of hype, not Ed.
why are they suing him 3 years later?
+annabel molloy bcoz thats their right.. you dont let only that ginger get all the credits to a song that he plagiarize.. you dont let a criminal steal from u famous or not
Because they tried sorting it out discretely and obviously couldn't reach reach an acknowledgement and/or agreement.
(Sorry if this should pop up twice. yt is playing the ghosting game again)
1st off matt cardle didnt even write the song
2nd the song writers are suing
3rd they want 20 million for a song not even worth that much money thats close to half ed net worth
4th its kind of hard to believe a song writer like ed stole it he writes songs for him self and plenty other singers
How did you find me?
You came out of nowhere like lightning,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the noise somehow.
Oh, and how did you see me?
Broke through the darkness,
And you reached me,
It's kind of amazing how you found me,
Through all the strangers somehow.
Funny because we all found this song through social media coverage on the lawsuit
Omg 😂
😁😉
yup lol
Amazing 😂😂
Like an AMAZING coincidence
7 thousand Ed Sheeran fans gave this song a thumbs down because they obviously didn't listen to the song. I love Ed Sheeran but this song is"Amazing"
Tru
come on m8, i am a fan of ed sheeran but liked this song so much
This song is better than Photograph.
Nothing better
No, it is not.
but without this stolen ripped off , photograph is just rubbish
I like Ed sheeran's photograph, but I think this song is amazing.
i see what you did there.
Anik Abdullah LOL that was actually unintentional 😂
Franktastic ahahhahahahaha, but i liked it.
😂😂😂😂😂
omg the chorus is legit photograph
I came here to listen to this song after finding the similarities it shares with Ed Sheeran's "Photograph". After listening closely it seems that the chorus part really have glaring similarities with "Photograph". But I don't mind it because Ed Sheeran is also a good musician. But for what I am most joyful that I found another great singer. I am not into this genre of songs that much so I don't know Ed Sheeran that much as well as Matt beforehand but after listening to this song I realized that I found another magnificent song. But I can't understand why there is so much dislikes to this song! Sometimes blind fan following can lead to a harmful world where the beauty of music losses it's grandeur to the blindness of personal favouritism.
The problem is that Ed is a much more bigger artist and was profiting from someone else's work
🥺🥺😭😭😭I am a die heart Ed sheeran fan and yes it’s note is exactly the note from photograph! Now I don’t know what to do with this cause this song is also very good ! 😭😭😭😭😭
