Default These Days - Ayo: A rip off?
So there is this completely ripped off chorus in this song (and title). Is this acknowledged anywhere? Anyone know this singer? It's bizarre to hear a Richie riff shadowed in this style.

Grooveshark it and let me know what you think.

Very similar, yes. Intentional, maybe. Borderline.

Yeah I can hear it, doubt it's intentional unless someone involved with the production of this song is a Jovi fan.

How can it be doubted??? The title is the same AND the riff is and progression is nearly identical.

No idea who Ayo is. Just stumbled across them as I was looking for new music on Grooveshark.com

Ayo is a German soul singer. Do you know Erykah Badu? I'd say Ayo is a more chilled less funky version of Erykah.

Lawyer train of thought:

Has she sold alot of records?
Yes - sue her record company
No - wait until she sells alot of records. Sue her record company.

It's an open and shut case, but for all we know the linear notes on her album credit Bon Jovi.

I wonder if What Do You Got has a single note that is the same exact note as a note used in a Joe Satriani song? Joe would sue

That is what I was wondering, more or less, is if BJ was mentioned in the liner notes. I don't really have a problem with her ripping it off; bon jovi rips tons of stuff off, I just think this is pretty blatant.
