Even though Ed Sheeran’s Photograph has been out for 2 years, the people who wrote Matt Cardle’s Amazing back in 2009 are suing him now for $20 million because they say the red head’s song sounds a lot like their tune. Eire Creative put both songs together in a video and you can hear the similarities.
If you were the Judge, then how would you rule?
Talking about judging, don’t judge Matt Cardle. He took to Twitter and said, “Please read news articles closely. This is not my lawsuit. I think @edsheeran is a genius & 100% deserves all his success 🙏🏽❤️ X.”
Back to that Amazing Photograph, I wonder if the lawsuit will wind up the same way it did for Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby and Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure. I am fan of both songs and it does take me a few beats until I can tell the difference between the two hits from the last century. To me their lawsuit was much stronger than the one that Marvin Gaye’s family had over Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines. We know which case got a much higher verdict (the latter), it will be interesting to see if Amazing Photograph will top that one.
