You've only got to google "Beyonce" and "lawsuit" to get some interesting articles. She's been accused of plagiarism on several occasions.

It is the same with books, There are only about 5 basic plots which get rehashed and reworded.

Same with fashion. HA! there is nothing new in this world ”

Bringing this back up as everyone seems to be ignoring it...........I admit I am a fan of the boys (I think!) but I would defend this if it applied to any artist

I must say I wasn't directly digging at One Direction but I cannot believe how overhyped they are. It really is just about looks in the industry business. That doesn't last forever though.
