Songwriters for Britney Spears are seeking damages from a South Korean pop composer for plagiarism, saying Hyori Lee’s “Get Ya” is a little too similar to Britney Spears’ “Do Something.” I’m not familiar with either song, but I did watch the music video for “Get Ya” (above) and I’m gonna have to rule in Hyori’s favor. Giving me a raging hard-on is always step one in winning me over. You could run over my family in your car and as long as you look great dancing around in a short skirt I’d just shrug and say, “Don’t worry about it.” Besides, the song steals more from the James Bond Theme than anything else.

She’s gotta make her money somewhere right?
what i think is funnier is the ad on this page that says “How Britney lost her extra weight. And how you can too! Her secret.”
Britney lost her extra weight? When? Her secret seems to be, drink a milkshake whenever you see one. Don’t forget the whip cream.
feh, britney’s just upset cause this korean girl weighs about as much as britney’s pinky toe. she probably is much less infested with public restroom floor germs, as well.
that being said, this chick is HOT! koreans are the best pop stars ever!
I like the lyrics.
Check this out to see the video that blends both songs/videos together.

6th!!!
Ironically it’s Britney’s songwriters doin’ the suin’ (hey that rhymed..) if I needed final proof Britney is a no-talent, it’s that. Atleast write your own tunes, bitch, and then you could sue so you can afford K-Fed’s allowance.
You know I’m just wondering what is up with all the lack of news/postings lately?
Anyways, hahahaha at #1. So true since K-Fed probably sucked her bank account dry by now.
Hmm… A trial by penis… Wouldn’t that go like…
“Hear yea, hear yea. The Honorable One-Eyed Weasil now residing…”
“The case of “Bloated Warthog” vs “Korean Nymph” is now in session…”
(10 miliseconds later)
“We, (and by we I mean ME and the Trouser Snake pitching a tent in my judges robe) the good “people” of America find for the Korean Nymph.”
Also, we hold the Warthog in contempt for bloating in our virtual presence. Step away from the Cheetos, Mrs. Federspears. I sentence you to 5000 situps and 100 hours of treadmill until that ass is SmackTastic like back in your “Boa Constrictor around the neck days”.
Case dismissed…
“Case dismissed
I don’t get it. There are plenty of Asian songs that copy pop song melodies note for note, and they don’t get sued. (Off the top of my head I can think of a SHE song that’s a copy of Britney’s ‘Sometimes’. There’s also a Chinese boy band called Energy that just takes other songs and puts Chinese lyrics to them.) The melody here is only similar and it gets sued.
Me so litigious!
Yes! To the Ferrari 400 chosen.
In response to #1 – that was EXACTLY what I was thinking. After all all she does is sit on her fat ass all day.
I say her last night on Will & Grace and you can tell she probably requested not to be shot on a side angle because she looked like a tub of dip shit in that red dress. However, at times you caught a quick glimpse.
They do sound a little similar, but what;s the bid deal? Someone is getting a little desperate…
Britnet sueing someone over originality?
haaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!!
Both songs suck.
maybe we can deport that fuck-stick k-fed and he can ruin her too
Check out this little video of different clips of her…the last five seconds are the best.

#10 – I was about to say that! Typical K/J/C-pop, a cheap ripoff of American pop (or sometimes Euro-pop), but not quite as good. This one is definitely lame. Especially how Hyori has to act like a total skank, just to hide her lack of talent… JUST LIKE BRITNEY.
You have to give Britney some credit though… she might be on to something… she might be realizing that ALL POP MUSIC SOUNDS THE SAME.
Now can we talk about Britneys complete lack of anything close to acting skills? Please?
Oh come on Britney babes, leave her alone.
This is obviously the result of the much heralded Korean research program in genetic cloning. Who said they were falsifying data? It worked! Whore Lee is a clone of Britney Spears.
Nice work Korea…Now get back to working on getting my toilet bowl hooked up with broadband Internet access and Hi-def streaming video.
Oh Britney! all pop songs sound very mmuch alike dear one way or another!
However, I like the korean girl. She’s pretty, has some talent and her voice doesn’t sound like she’s having orgasms.
britney spears has songwriters? i thought it was the monkeys with typewriters thing
can someone help me get the last 4 minutes of my life back?
25th!!!!! I rock!! Man! WOW!!
On a latter note, WHAT THE EFF DID I JUST LISTEN TO?
actually, the entire intro was a 100% rip off of Kylie Minogue’s ‘Red Blooded Woman’ music video.
after downloading and watching Kylie’s video again, i must say this little girl is much more interesting to watch. the fact that she’s 1/4 of kylie’s age makes it okay that the director was inspired by good ol’ cancer-boobed kylie.

ok but what i want to know is IS SHE PREGNANT OR NOT??
Unless my eardrums have been ripped from my head and chopped in a blender, the only thing similar about this song is the beat and there’s nothing worth sueing over here…they’re both pretty crappy songs. I mean, who lets deaf, dumb, blind, and mute monkeys play with GarageBand anyway?
Oh wait, Britney Spears. Yes…that’s right. It’s much cheaper than hiring real songwriters. She needs to save money to keep getting all that fat sucked out.
Moving on,
This reminds me of an age-old battle between celebrities. Let me see how far back in history we can go because, as we all know, history repeats itself:
Igor Stravinsky “borrowed” material from other composers,
the Beach Boys relied so heavily on Chuck Berry’s ‘Sweet Little Sixteen’ for their song ‘Surfing U.S.A.,
the Chiffons successfully sued George Harrison, claiming that he copied the melody from their song ‘He’s So Fine’ for his early 1970s hit ‘My Sweet Lord’,
Vanillia Ice and Queen had a battle over “Ice Ice Baby” having the same bass line as “Under Pressure” and Vanillia Ice made it very clear there was one “ding” that was different.(hahaha)
P. Diddy steals beats, Eminem steals beats, hell even Will Smith steals beats.
So, as if songwriters didn’t have anything better to do than sue some Korean pop star for something that has the same beat. You’d think they were in it for the money, not the whole..you know…making music thing.
wait, this no talent ass clown has a song called ‘do something’? did her people write it for her so she could sing it to k-fed? loser needs to get a job and do something! hmm… like be a father to his 3.5 kids
I can’t believe I’m saying this – but I have to side with Britney on this one because:
A) This song does in fact sound virtually identical to “Do Something”, and…
B) This chick is fug-tacular. She’s basically on par with Brit (and yes, I do mean post-KFed).
don’t know what everybody else is talking about, but i definitely agree with #33. the two songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME. not only that, but the music videos are similar. this girl could at least try not to make it so obvious.
The only thing certain besides death and taxes is that ALL pop songs sound the same. As in, shitty. This means that a career as an attorney in the media industry is quite lucrative. It also means that if we hit the wrong button on our car radio, our ears will bleed excessively. That song (by either “artist”) just sucks.
I say everybody wins if they released the Hyori Lee v Britney Spears version!
36 comments and no one mentioned the lame New York Yankees hat? I was going to leave it to someone else but come on people, doesn’t it annoy you at least little bit? Who walks around in a red minidress, red pumps, and a Yankees hat anyway? I think the video was ruined for me the moment I saw that hat.
The lyrics are different obviously. However, if “Britney Spears’ people” are going to sue over any computer generated song that sounds the same. And any girl in their late teens to twenties who sounds like she sucks helium before she sings (use that word lightly)…boy do they have their work cut out for them. Surely they must realize these people are created and not really talented. Therefore, they need to sue computers and the studio men and women who build these audio programs.
boy i would love to knock that sweet young thing down. i heart AZNS!!! All asian pop sucks balls, but the ‘artists’ are HOTT
I would say put Brit and this chick in a ring to duke it out, but Brit would probably smother her in BBQ sauce and eat her.
Other people/companies Brittany is seeking to sue:
Milwalkee’s Best Lite for ceasing daliy shipments to her home
Kool Menthol Cigarettes for not offering Marlboro bucks on their packs
CMT Television for cancelling the Dukes of Hazzard marathon
The maker of shoes
7-11 on Melrose Ave for running out of RC Cola and strawberry Zingers
Dale Earnhardt Jr. for not signing her left tit at Talladega in 2003
Terry Schiavo for not speaking up when it was time to eat
The sperm that created her husband
Guys, it’s not Britney Spears suing Hyori Lee, it’s the songwriters of “Do Somethin’” suing the people involved with “Get Ya”. Yes, har de har har, the songs suck ass, but somebody wrote them and got money for them. Britney’s not gonna be seeing any of the money if they win, and we can all be thankful for that.
As for beats being used all the time, yes, that’s true, and the original creater of the beat is paid every time it’s used, unless they literally ripped them off and took them to court.

Brittney wishes she was half as hot as this chick
Whatever happened to the days when even the crappiest pop songs were ones that you could, at the very least, still play the chords to on a guitar and sing over?
Let’s have Brittney find Korea on a map first, then bust out the law suit.
And why was Brittney watching Korean music videos anyways.
Aw man! Don’t tell me the whole poser/talentless cloud has floated to Korea, too!!! Aw, God this world sucks big time.
paphotnuts you forgot the manufacturers of her birth control pills. obviously more effective if you take them all at once, right?
Korean one was clearly better. Because you couldn’t understand the shite lyrics.
She has to get extra money somehow, since K-fed drained her accounts and she started draining bags of Cheetos directly down her throat. Poor thing. I hope she has a big comeback, dumps K-Fed, gets thin again, and gets filthy rich again making more karaoke-worthy tunes! Go Brits!
