1. Madonna Stole The Video For "Hollywood"

BOURDIN'S PHOTOS	MADONNA RIP OFF

Madonna was sued by the family of deceased artist Guy Bourdin for ripping off images from his work for her music video “Hollywood.”

2. Madonna Stole The Film "Swept Away"

Filmmaker Vincent D'Onofrio sued Madonna for ripping off his idea he pitched to her and her agents for the remake of the film, “Swept Away.” The lawsuit is currently in the court system. However, the film fittingly bombed and was voted the worst movie ever. The copyright owner of the original Swept Away script recently expressed his regret at allowing her to remake his film, due to how badly it turned out.

3. Madonna Stole The Song "Vogue"

Madonna ripped off the 1989 song "Deep In Vogue" by Malcolm McLaren for her 1990 song "Vogue." As with my songs, she stole it shortly after it was made available to the public. His song was released on July 19, 1989 on Epic Records and her rip off was released almost a year later on April 5th, 1990. His song came out first and was about "voguing." Madonna's rip off brought his idea/music/dance trend to the mainstream by stealing it from him, along with melodies, harmonies and portions of his beat. Madonna even tries to sing like the female vocalist on McLaren's track. She then stole the dance that was created to go with the song by dancers in downtown New York.

Here is an excerpt of the song she stole from entitled "Deep In Vogue" for her song "Vogue" (If the link does not work for you visit www.amazon.com and type in "Deep In Vogue" in the search box for a sample of the song):

4. Madonna Stole "Justify my Love"

In my opinion, one of her worst, most disgraceful and brazen rip offs was the work she outright stole from Prince protégé, Ingrid Chavez. She stole Chavez’s style and lyrics for her song, “Justify My Love” which is featured on her “Erotica” album. 

Chavez said, "Madonna only changed one line of the entire song” and stole writers credit for the song, even though Chavez was the one who wrote it (this has been said of her by other credible writers as well involving other songs. The song did match Chavez's trademark style, which at the time was once again unlike anything Madonna had done. Much like my style of music is unlike anything Madonna has done. An article excerpt:

"Meanwhile, Chavez sued Lenny Kravitz for not giving her credit for co-writing Madonna's Justify My Love. Chavez's style consists of breathy spoken passages over heavy dance beats and this can be clearly heard in the Madonna track. Chavez is quoted as having said that Kravitz didn't write any of the lyrics and only came up with the phrase justify my love. She is also reported to have said that Madonna only changed one line of the entire song. She was finally given credit for the lyrics plus a rumored couple of million dollars in an out-of-court settlement." http://www.leninimports.com/ingridchavez.html Photo credit: Frank Micelotta

5. Madonna Stole The "Sex" Book

A book that is currently available in stores titled, “Madonna: An Intimate Biography,” alleges that Madonna ripped off the idea for her “Sex” book from a publishing executive named Judith Regan (page 221).

It was further alleged in another article that the photographs in Madonna's book Sex was a rip off of an old French book by a well know French photographer.

Coincidentally, she did an interview with an Hungarian paper, and due to the translation, the name of the book was fittingly called "Slut." Here's an excerpt from Blikk (publication):

BLIKK: OK, here's a question from left space. What was your book "Slut" about?
MADONNA: It was called "Sex", my book.
BLIKK: Not in Hungary. Here it was called "Slut."

6. Madonna Steals From indie singer Peaches

Critics allege that Madonna ripped off visual concepts, video imagery and ideas from underground transvestite singer “Peaches” for her work. Several web sites mention this and the similarities are very, very striking. It was also reported that she would play Peaches' album over and over again before going on stage in Barcelona. A reviewer from the well-known industry company Muze wrote:

"If imitation is the greatest compliment, then Peaches received top honors when Madonna stole imagery from Peaches’ videos and applied them to her own. If the queen of controversy steals your ideas, you must have something going on." - Muze Inc.

Peaches' debut CD was released on a German label and sold only 50,000 - yet she managed to get a copy of one of them. Those numbers are good for an indie, but translates into obscurity in the mainstream.

However, Madonna and her team do what some unscrupulous executives in the music industry do - scour the clubs, internet and other venues for new music, dance and clothing trends and take full credit for them as their own in the mainstream (as she did with Vogue, among other things).

Back to Peaches. The mere fact that they knew who Peaches was, even with him being an underground artist below the radar, speaks volumes. Ask the average musicologist or music critic about Peaches, and they wouldn't know who he is, as he is an underground artist, but she actually knew him and had his CD. I find that very telling.

7. Madonna Stole "Like A Virgin"

The saddest of all these allegations is by a group named Hide The Babies. They published a web site that contained the allegation that they gave Madonna’s manager their demo (cassette) in the 80's, she liked it and asked if she could keep it. She returned the tape to them 6 months later. They alleged that shortly after one of their lyrics appeared in Madonna’s song as the basis for "Like A Virgin," but not credited to them. A group member stated they felt she did this because she figured if she got her version out first it would render their version useless.  

Madonna's lyric for “Like A Virgin” goes: "Like a virgin. Touched for the very first time."

Hide The Babies lyric goes: "I'm not a virgin, but you're the first one..."

That’s the same lyric, just changed up a bit. It’s also the same concept/pun about not being a virgin, but someone seemingly making you feel like that.

It appears to be the same thing Madonna did with my song "Contemporary Girl." She took lyrics, tried to change it up in the same manner, but just enough to retain the idea and concept of the song and some of the lyrics, hopefully without getting caught.

"Like A Virgin" was Madonna's first real hit and credited to another writer that her label and management hired. However, this allegation of theft bears a pattern that would later be said of several other songs Madonna allegedly composed. I saw an interview on Bravo recently with producer Nile Rodgers, who said Madonna told him at the time that the concept of the song "Like A Virgin" was such a good idea and kept emphasizing this point to him.

The article from Hide The Babies web site states, "Then when her tune came out we couldn't do ours anymore because everybody thought we got it from her."

Wow when you think about that statement it is profoundly sad and terrible considering "Like A Virgin" was such a big hit that allegedly came from this band who are saying they did not get credit for it. Hey, I have to write the word "allegedly" in this case for legal purposes, however, their words do strike a chord, pardon the pun, based on what I experienced with my song that was ripped off by her. It bears the same pattern.

Hide The babies/Kitty Brazelton  "We think Madonna stole a song of ours or at least the lyric/concept which was: "I'm not a virgin/but you're the first one..." What do you think? Her management was particularly interested in that song and asked to keep the cassette. We got it back after 6 months. Then when her tune came out we couldn't do ours anymore because everybody thought we got it from her" http://www.kitbraz.com/bndl/htb/

8. Madonna Steals From Eminem

An article in a British newspaper alleged Eminem accused Madonna of ripping off his work, "Bonnie and Clyde"  for one of her videos from her Greatest Hits album "What It Feels Like For A Girl."  

9. Madonna Steals Lyrics For Express Yourself

An indie art web site alleges Madonna ripped off their slogan "Express Yourself, Don't Repress Yourself" for one of her lyrics from her song "Human Nature." She seems to have a thing for stealing from art, as evidenced by the Bourdin case.

10. Madonna Tries To Get Writers Credit For "You Must Love Me" Which She Didn't Write

Madonna has a history of trying to horn in on credit for work she did not do or deserve credit for. This has been written about in several publications. It is discussed in the Andrew Morton biography about her titled "Madonna."

An award winning songwriting partner of Andrew Lloyd Webber complained of her trying to horn in on credit for his song by trying to change a few lyrics (Notice a pattern yet? Look how many writers keep saying this about her)....

click here for full story

11. Madonna Steals Credit On "Nothing Fails"

In a third similar case, singer/songwriter Jem, who's been featured on the television show The O.C., implied in an interview that Madonna did not write much of the song “Nothing Fails,” which she penned and submitted to Madonna. Yes, more of Madonna’s so called revisions to horn in on credit for already completed songs given to her to sing. She horned in on credit for this already completed song for the same album she ripped off my debut single for, "American Life." Here is an article excerpt:

Just Like Band Camp Las Vegas Review-Journal By DOUG ELFMAN REVIEW-JOURNAL  She has a law degree. She's a DJ. She used to run a small record label. Madonna picked up Jem's song "Nothing Fails" and recorded it for her own "American Life" album. Madonna shares songwriting credit on "Nothing Fails." Did Madonna change enough of it to merit that credit? "You can't ask questions like that! Somebody should, but there are some things that are best left unsaid," Jem says -- but then she says, yes, Madonna did co-write the song.

Yea, sure she co-wrote it. Nice diplomatic save (LOL). Judging by her past behavior with Chavez and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s songwriting partner, I know what her idea of songwriting is. As Chavez said, changing “one line of the song.”   

12. Yakov And The Seven Thieves

Madonna does not like to give people credit for their work, typical of a copyright infringer. She was bashed by a reputable newspaper for leaving the illustrator's name off the cover of her children's book, “Yakov and the Seven Thieves.” It was written in the article that it is customary in the publishing industry to put the illustrator’s name on the front, which they were aware of, but left off anyway.

13. Madonna Steals Video For "Love Profusion"

The music video for her latest single “Love Profusion” is a rip off of British singer Billie Piper’s “Honey to the Bee” video, which was released 5 years before Madonna’s knock off. Side by side stills show the striking similarities. Madonna’s video features her in front of a red 3D computer generated flower, while floating on the ocean, which is the same as Piper's video - only Piper's video was filmed and released years before. I remember seeing the behind the scenes segment for Billie’s video a few years ago and you can tell it's a rip off of it. They even used the same technique.  

14. Madonna Steals From Beth Orton

I read a Slant magazine message board, where posters claimed Madonna heavily borrowed from Beth Orton for her music. Upon listening to the albums you can hear similarities.

15. Madonna Steals From Kylie

 According to a UK newspaper, Madonna's "American Life" Che Guevara themed CD cover is a rip off of a previously released Kylie Minogue poster:

Kylie Minogue Poster	Madonna CD cover

16. Madonna Steals From Marilyn Monroe

Another article alleges Madonna ripped off copyrighted 1956 Marilyn Monroe pics for her 1985 “Like A Virgin” promo. 

17. Madonna Steals "Ray Of Light" Video

There was an article about plagiarism in Rolling Stone magazine, which stated Madonna ripped off the idea for the "Ray Of Light" video which was submitted to her by a director named Stefano Salvati.

The album "Ray Of Light" won a lot of awards, even Grammys (I thought you had to be able to sing to win one of those) because of the breakthrough video, which also won awards. Based on records it was authored and filmed by Salvati, before he submitted it to Madonna. It was subsequently stolen by her according to this article and lawsuit:

Italian director Stefano Salvati is claiming that Madonna's "Ray of Light" video was stolen from a clip he shot in 1994 for local pop star Biagio Antonacci. Antonacci's lawyer, Gianni Massaro, said Friday that he will ask Madonna's Maverick Records to pull the "Ray of Light" video from distribution and that he will seek damages.

Salvati, who lives part of the year in Los Angeles, claims that his manager had sent copies of his videos to Maverick before "Ray of Light" was shot. A Salvati video for a song titled "Non e Mai Stato Subito" features Antonacci performing at normal speed against a backdrop of fast-moving images of clouds, traffic and food, somewhat like Madonna in the "Ray of Light" clip directed by Joanis Akerlund. - Rolling Stone Magazine

Joanis Akerlund is also the director Madonna hired for the "Hollywood" video for which they were also sued and had to pay the plaintiff a $638,000 settlement on last year (see number one plagiarism example in this article).

18. Madonna Steals Video For "What It Feels Like For A Girl"

Madonna and her husband were accused of plagiarism by the British band BBMak, who had the hit "Back Here." BBMak publicly stated in an Annanova article that Madonna and her director husband Guy Ritchie plagiarized their music video "Still On Your Side" for her video "What It Feels Like For A Girl."

19. Madonna Rips Off Kylie Again

As pointed out by Dlisted, to the left are the original Kylie pics, to the right are the later Madonna rip offs (Madonna even stole 1-888-Confess from Kylie's previous 1-555-Confide). How pathetic: 

Kylie	Madonna rip offs

Madonna was ripped by scores of people on different web sites this month for ripping off Kylie Minogue’s work. One site in particular was pretty blunt about it, where members of the public let rip.

20. Madonna Stole Music For "Beautiful Stranger"

Madonna was publicly accused of ripping off the song "She Comes In Colors" by Da Capo for the riff to her song "Beautiful Stranger."

21. Madonna Stole "In Bed With Madonna"

She was also accused of ripping off John Lennon and Yoko Ono's work for use years later in one of her own rubbish projects, "In Bed With Madonna" - "Shortly after their marriage, John Lennon and Yoko Ono gave interviews from their bedroom in an attempt to promote world peace. Madonna ripped off the idea for a movie…" http://www.a-love-supreme.com/archive/archive096.htm

22. Madonna Stole Beat For "Justify My Love"

Madonna was slammed by rap fans for ripping off, "Public Enemy's 'Security of The 1st World' in her song 'Justify my Love' without paying for it" – Rap Network.

Public Enemy

This is the same song that she stole the lyrics from Prince protégé Ingrid Chavez, erasing Ingrid's name from the writer's credit sheet and replacing it with her own that wound up on the manufactured CDs.

Ingrid later initiated litigation against Madonna and reportedly obtained a settlement of a few million dollars. So basically, she stole the beat from Public Enemy and the lyrics from songwriter/singer Ingrid Chavez and took credit for it to the public. How lame.

23. Madonna Stole Lyrics For "Impressive Instant"

Madonna was publicly accused of ripping off Cat Steven's "The Wind" for her later released song "Impressive Instant" from the album "Music."

Cat Stevens' lyric from "The Wind": "I let my music take me where my heart wants to go"

Madonna rip off lyric from "Impressive Instant": I let the music take me, take me where my heart wants to go"

Of course, she'll say it's different because she added an extra take to the lyric she stole.

24. Madonna Steals Poem From Gap Commercial For Her Song "Sky Fits Heaven"

 Madonna ripped off  a TV commercial for her song "Sky Fits Heaven" which is on her "Ray of Light" album. This is the same album she was sued for willfully stealing the song "Frozen" from a unknown Belgian songwriter and for separately ripping off the video for "Ray of Light" from a director, which brought another lawsuit against her. Well, the album contained more rip offs (as do all her albums).

From E- Those with a keen recollection of television advertising will notice the introductory lyrics to the 1998 song "Sky Fits Heaven"--credited on Ray of Light to Madonna and longtime collaborator Patrick Leonard--are similar to what poet Max Blagg recited for a 1993 Gap clothing commercial. Here, look for yourself:

Madonna's song:
"Sky fits heaven, so fly it/
That's what the prophet said to me/
Child fits mother, so hold your baby tight/

Max Blagg's poem:
Sky fits heaven, so ride it/
Child fits mother, so hold your baby tight/

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News ran a story about the matter Thursday, reportedly getting Madonna's record-label publicist at Warner Bros. to admit the singer paid Blagg in lieu of reprinting the album's liner notes and crediting him.

How pathetic, she ripped off the poetry from a Gap commercial - then paid the poet off to get him to shut up about it. What is that, like the 50th rip off. Every single album she has put out has contained copyright infringing material. She is a fraud. Unequivocally the most unoriginal, uncreative person ever in the industry.

25. Madonna Steals For Her Song "Forbidden Love"

Confessions On A Dance Floor - The synth on "Forbidden Love" is a blatant rip off of the synth part used on the Pet Shop Boys song "West End Girls."

26. Madonna Steals For Her Song "Let It Will Be"

Confessions On A Dance Floor - "Let It Will Be" by her rips off the synth on "Silent Mourning" by Mad Machinery.

27. Madonna Steals For Her Song "Get Together"

Confessions On A Dance Floor - She ripped off the sound of the big hit in England in 2005, "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz and mixed it with other infringements for her song "Get Together."

28. Madonna Steals Lyrics For Her Song "Get Together"

Confessions On A Dance Floor - She ripped off Kylie Minogue for "Like It Or Not" and lines on "Get Together."

"Confessions on a Dance Floor" is a real copy and paste of other people's music, which is pathetic, as it was done without permission. And all that reverb and vocoding due to her inability to sing well, is absolutely annoying and grating.

It's like listening to a robot sing for 45 minutes.

29. Goldfrapp Slam Madonna For Stealing From Them

Goldfrapp video still

Music duo Goldfrapp slammed Madonna and they have a right to be upset. She ripped off their music for "Confessions On A Dance Floor" as well. Several critics noticed the Goldfrapp knock off...and so did Goldfrapp.

"The singer continued her outburst by suggesting that Madonna lacks creativity. 'I think it's quite clever, but I don't know if that's creative,' said Allison Goldfrapp." - Virgin Music News

30. Madonna Steals "Open Your Heart"

31. Madonna Steals Semtex® Name

Never one to come up with anything original, Madonna boasted this week that she registered a name called "Semtex Girls."

Never mind it is already the trademark name for a dangerous plastic explosive used by terrorists - and considering she was bragging about being worst than a terrorist - coupled with the fact she is a member of a sick cult, is there something people need to know. Cult members + terrorism + Semtex = trouble.

"Prague - The Czech manufacturer of the plastic explosive Semtex may sue pop star Madonna for trademark infringement, a company spokesman told the CTK news agency Tuesday...

32. Sued in Miami for trademark infringement

33. Madonna Steals Idea From Loretta Young And Passes It Off As Her Own

From E - "Madonna ripped off the idea [of charging her coworkers for swearing] from Loretta Young's TV show way back in the '50s. Supposedly, Robert Mitchum was a guest star one week and got tired of putting in a quarter each time he swore, so he reportedly said: "Here's 20 bucks, Loretta, now *** off!"

34. Madonna Steals Two Songs From New York Indie Label

Madonna stole the songs "Deeper And Deeper" and "Bad Girl" from indie record label Easy Street Records, who sued her in New York Federal Court.

SIMILARITIES: same red & white swirl background, same fingers on face pose with head facing to the right and same short wave hairstyle

This is a follow up to the Madonna Jumping On Bandwagons Again article on February 19, 2008, regarding her ripping off singer Kylie Minogue’s music video.

Well, she's at it again. Now, the pathetic old thief Madonna’s ripping off Kylie’s album cover released last year, for her forthcoming copyright infringing "Hard Candy" CD on the sinking Warner Music Group label. Furthermore, what 50 year old sings about hard candy. There’s something very weird about that.

Madonna also previously ripped off preexisting songs by Kylie for her Confessions On A Dance Floor CD.

38. Madonna Rips Off Kylie Minogue's "Better The Devil You Know" (1990 & 1998) for her "Like It Or Not" (2005)

From the Judiciary Report web site:

Madonna exhausted from ripping everybody off and excessive plastic surgery

Continuing the theme of uncovering and unraveling the many copyright thefts that comprise Madonna's fraudulent career, this week let's take a look at another of the Queen of Poop's rip offs.

In 1990 Kylie Minogue released the song "Better The Devil You Know" which she still routinely performs at her concerts, some of which Madonna has attended in recent years, as photographs attest (no doubt with her pen and pad to rip stuff off). The song was re-released in 1998 and went up the charts again.

Kylie's "2 Hearts" 2007 (left) Madonna's rip off cover "Hard Candy" 2008 (right) - [see any similarities]

Fast forward several years to 2005 and pathetic Madonna, who has ripped off Minogue many times, knocked off Kylie's preexisting song "Better The Devil You Know" for her song screecher "Like It Or Not" that appeared on her last album "Confessions On A Dance Floor," which according to Reuters "flopped" (regardless of Madonna's receipt-less, lying claims of outselling everyone in 2005 and 2006).  

While, I'm not a fan of either song due to the message of encouraging women to choose someone that's not the best based on familiarity and Madonna's rip off sounding plain awful and stupid, there are infringements.

Not only do the songs sound alike, contain the same melodies and rhythm, they share mutual lyrics as illustrated below. The infringements are color coded according to mutual lyrics appearing in both songs (left to right at different places), with Madonna's substandard, poorly sung track being the rip off recorded and released years later:

Kylie's "Better The Devil You Know" 1990	Madonna's "Like It Or Not" 2005
Better the devil you know Better the devil you know Woh Better the devil you know Better the devil you know Woh woh woh Say you won't leave me no more I'll take you back again No more excuses no, no 'Cos I've heard them all before A hundred times or more [CHORUS:] I'll forgive and forget If you say you'll never go 'Cos its true what they say It's better the devil you know Woh woh woh Our love wasn't perfect I know I think I know the score If you say you love me, oh boy I can't ask for more I'll come if you should call [CHORUS:] I'll be here every day Waiting for your love to show Yes it's true what they say It's better the devil you know Woh woh woh I'll take you back I'll take you back again I'll take you back I'll take you back again	I’ll be the garden, you’ll be the snake All of my fruit is yours to take Better the devil that you know Your love for me will grow Because This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me or leave me Cause I’m never gonna stop, no no Cleopatra had her way Matahari too Whether they were good or bad Is strictly up to you Don’t let the fruit rot under the vine Fill up your cup and let’s drink the wine Better the devil that you know Your love for me will grow Because This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me or leave me Cause I’m never gonna stop, no no, you know This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me or leave me Cause I’m never gonna stop, no no, you know No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know .

41. Madonna Rips Off Tina Turner And Others

Internet audiences have been posting comparative examples of Madonna's thefts of other artists' preexisting copyrighted works, attesting to the fact that she's stolen everything in her career. Here are a few of the thefts I found highlighted on other web sites.

In the left column is Tina Turner's "Acid Queen" album artwork from 1975. To the right is Madonna's rip off artwork from 2005. Notice they are wearing the same style red dress, red shoes, doing the same type of poses and Madonna darkened her bleached blonde hair to look like Tina's for the photos. How unoriginal of her, once again.

In the left column is another photo from Tina's 1975 "Acid Queen" (Tommy ©1969) showing a double image photo of her in the red outfit. To the right is Madonna's rip off, 30 years later in 2005, wearing a knock off version of Tina's red dress and shoes and also utilizing double imagery.

In the left column are various photos from the 70's and 80's. In the right column are airbrushed Madonna photos from 2005 and 2006.

Madonna also posted a heavily Photoshopped picture of herself that is a complete rip off of Welsh singer Charlotte Church's preexisting, copyrighted CD cover for the 2005 album "Tissues And Issues." That's right, 10-years ago, now here comes Madonna ripping it off and quite poorly might I add (what's the sense of using Photoshop to that extreme degree, then when people see you in public...). As usual, Madonna is breaking the law stealing copyrighted works for her fake, fraudulent career that has been a complete and utter rip off from day one.

It is clear he stole my original piano riff and used it for April 2005's "Can I Live" and I have a copyrighted unreleased song from July of 2004 called "Let Me Live" and another titled "Unborn" which is about abortion as well, that I dropped from the album at the last minute in December 2004 due to lack of space, opting to write a December 2004 article about abortion instead. Nick Cannon clearly plagiarized the article for his song, applying it to himself and his circumstances in addition to deliberately stealing the copyrighted piano riff from my copyrighted song "Why Did This Happen To Me," which I referred to on this site as my best song from the album "Aisha."

My song was released and copyrighted way before Nick Cannon's. He's got absolutely no excuse for this. He did this deliberately. Even gave it a Christian bent like my song - when his songs in the past have been about partying, getting drunk and chasing women (Even MTV noted that and questioned the sudden change in direction by Cannon).

I haven't had a chance to go over his new CD, but when I do, if I find anything else, it will be added to the lawsuit and the financial damage amount will increase. 

6. "Streams Of Consciousness" by Britney Spears, Madonna's fellow Kabbalah cult member and collaborator, (stole concept of and plagiarized this site's Sound Off Column and Diary page on several occasions). Listed in greater detail in the lawsuit, which even more detailed comparisons to be presented in court.

7. Disney's "Princess Diaries 2" movie - see lawsuit for detailed list of comparisons.

8. Via one of the companies she illegally fenced my work to, Disney, who she has business ties to, a character on Disney's "Raven" named Myisha (which is like my name Aisha)- the character was a black blonde haired singer with a song that has the same lyric as my previously copyrighted and released song "Contemporary Girl" about a old fashioned girl with a private jet. Disney changed the lyric to a simple girl with a private jet. The song bares the same melody as well.

19. "American Life" by Madonna

Contemporary Girl (Original Version 2001) then listen to American Life (2003)

Now listen to both beats together in the proceeding clip and you will see they match. They have the same amount of beats in the musical refrain/melody and follow the same rhythmic pattern. They stole my drum beat and made it into a synthesizer pattern/techno beat.

"Contemporary Girl" and "American Life" combined: click here to hear both beats combined

1. Both songs contain similar lyrics. In each chorus, my song "Contemporary Girl" contains the lines "Modern Society" at the beginning of the refrain. In her rip off version "American Life" the lyrics contain the words "Modern Life" in the beginning of the refrain. The phrase “Modern Society” can be used interchangeably with the term she put in "American Life," “Modern Life” as both phrases can be used to mean the same thing.

In "Contemporary Girl" the lyric in each chorus goes: “In a modern society, that gave you the right to be in control.”

In American Life the lyric in each chorus goes “This type of modern life - Is it for me?”

2. During the rap on "Contemporary Girl," I rap about the things contemporary women have. During the rap on "American Life," she rapped about the things she has. Both songs list similar things, in the same manner and both raps contain a “jet” as one of the items owned.

In "Contemporary Girl" the lyric goes: “a private jet for you to fly out.”

In "American Life" the lyric goes: “Three nannies, an assistant and a driver and a jet”

3. In "Contemporary Girl" the lyric goes" “You can’t be the man, when you’re a girl.”

In "American Life" the lyric goes: “I tried to be a boy. I tried to be a girl”

It's the same pun about feminists, but once again, she stole the lyric and rewrote it in such as way as to supposedly not get caught.

4. In "Contemporary Girl" the lyric goes: “No matter what your friends say”

In "American Life" the lyric goes: “I tried to find a friend”

5. In "Contemporary Girl," I write about eating in the rap, the lyric goes “business brunch, the power lunch.”

In "American Life" she writes about eating in the rap, the lyric is “I'm drinking a Soy latte. I get a double shot”

6. As I wrote above, in "Contemporary Girl," I list all the things contemporary women have during the rap section:

Designer clothed
Hard nosed
Battle-ax with a fax
The business brunch
The power lunch
Net and gross
Who makes the most
Spreadsheets and requisitions
Mergers and acquisitions
Real time and the bottom line
Corporate takeovers and leveraged buyouts
A private jet for you to fly out
Just having your fun
Ms. hard as nails
But cry when you break one
You only care about how much you earn
But when will you ever learn

In "American Life" she raps about all the things she has during the rap section: 

I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard or five
A gardener and a stylist
Do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point of view
I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew

I reiterate, she went over the song and tried to rewrite it, as both songs’ lyrics follow the same order and share mutual lyrics. There are too many similarities and they follow the same song structure as well.

7. In "Contemporary Girl" I make references to God, as I am a Christian. I’ve written about Christianity on my web site many times. In the song "American Life" she makes references to Christianity and Judaism, and is now busy writing and speaking about the Kabballah religious cult she belongs to. She hadn’t written about or spoken of it before, as she has now. All of a sudden she is pushing religion via a cult, which is absolutely appalling. Even worse, she’s been accused of trying to teach her religious cult’s beliefs to kids via her poorly written children’s books.

8. Both songs have very similar melodies and grooves/beats. Listen to the electronic groove/beat in "American Life" and you will see they got it from my track "Contemporary Girl," as it’s the same melodic pattern and rhythm as my beat with the accent on the last note of the musical phrase. Madonna, Mirwais and Missy Elliot did the song, which took my drum beat and made it into a synth pattern that runs throughout the song "American Life."

Contemporary Girl (Original Version 2001) then listen to American Life (2003)

Now listen to both beats together in the proceeding clip and you will see they match. They have the same amount of beats in the musical refrain/melody and follow the same rhythmic pattern. They stole my drum beat and made it into a synthesizer pattern/techno beat.

"Contemporary Girl" and "American Life" combined: click here to hear both beats combined

As the combined songs show, both have the same rhythm, breaks, time and melodic pattern, only my drumbeat was made into a synth sample - which is why when played together both the "Contemporary Girl" drum beat and "American Life" synth are in complete sync. It's the musical equivalent of a tenor and soprano singing the same line at the same time - different ranges, but they are singing the same thing.

Another test, for all you home studio producers, if you run the "Contemporary Girl" beat listed above through efx processors, synth simulators or certain vocoders, you will come up with the "American Life" techno synth that's heard in her rip off.    

When you put the beat for "Contemporary Girl" and "American Life" in a music recording program, as I did to render the comparative mix listed above, the wave files even look the same to the point that you think it's the same song or a copy and paste (in the recording software).
