I'll let you decide for yourselves, but I just saw this link on ESC Today's "reactions". There are striking similarities between the two songs tbh...

 

Wow, that is almost exactly the same :o

 

Gotta love Amy Diamond :wub:

Amy Diamond has said she won't make a complaint.

she seems like a nice girl, she acts very young for her age though. Most 16 year old girls in the UK act as if they are 19 or 20

Where has the link gone, David? I want to hear this song that has been ripped off!

There's an embedded video Ben that should appear. Here's another link anyway.

And I didn't know you were a Eurovision fan too? :o We are practically the same person. :lol:

I know lol. Good to talk to you again!! Cheers for the link. Era Stupendo is a great track. I'm not keen on that girl though.

Um, that's quite scary. :P It's almost exactly the same!

 

Rumours have been circulating that Switzerland have been banned from Eurovision because of it. Again, it's a rumour. I have no idea whether it's true or not.

It's not.

Nah they won't get disqualified I wouldn't have thought... although tbh, they really should. -_-

Nah if they were going to be disqualified they probaby would have by now. To be honest the Amy Diamond song isn't the most original song in the world either. It's a very common melody / chord progression. There have been many other alleged rip-offs gracing the Eurovision stage.

 

Just because Hero isn't clearly copying one specific song doesn't mean it isn't just as much of a rip-off ^_^

Era Stupendo is a stunning song :wub: the 3:31 album version is better than the Eurovision version though

Yep, unfortunately I had got too used to listening to that version. The Eurovision version is still good though I think they cut it in the right places.

 

Same with Poland's entry. The 4 minute album version of "For Life" is divine :wub:

not heard the 4 minute version of For Life, although it has to be said, its not as bland as I once thought it was, its a grower
