Any Lady Antebellum fans?

The other day while watching a bit of the Grammies, Lady Antebellum came on and sang their release:  "Need You Now."  I turned to my wife and asked "Is this a new song?"  She said "Yes," but I knew I had heard it before.  Mystery solved...give a listen to this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS1z2inwJ2o

It was a huge hit last year. Played constantly on the radio.

I'm not a fan of theirs, but I think that's a great song.

OMG. I can't believe I never noticed that before!!!

Sorry. No thank you.

I like Lady A, but I don't think that's the best song they have.

[sanddunerider]

At least Lady "A", is apparantly NOT related to Lady "G"..

[History Buff]

Of course not - different last names!

[sanddunerider]

HB>!  good point!,

"Lady" G is the trashy, New York area cousin of Lady A, and "Lady" G gets all the headlines because of her crazy behavior. Put that in your meat dress sandwich and take a big bite!

[Zephon]

Lady A does have some good music, so I was disappointed to find out that this particular song, "Need You Now," is a rip-off of "Eye In The Sky."  Can you say "lawsuit?"

On the other hand, I find nothing worthwhile in Lady G.

And might i point out the using the term "Lady" G,  might be pushing it a little.  Oh well  cant wait for MM and all that great music!!   NOT!

I like Lady Antebellum; and I use to like their song "Need you now."
However after hearing it play constantly on the radio and at work, I tend to cring everytime I hear the intro to that song!
When I saw that that song won "song of the year" I was not surprised, it truly did deserve that title. When I think back to 2010, thats definatly the song that plays over and over in my head.

Well, Lady G at least can write her own music and she really does have very good singing chops. And her costume design is awesome. The thing is, she knows what sells, and therefore she's also a very smart business-woman. She's financially set for life. Go her!

I really like that Lady A song; I don't know if I've ever heard any of their other stuff.

Melodies cannot be copyrighted (is that a word?  ). The copyright applies to the lyrics. With only 8 Major chords, it is inevitable that the same melodies (or at least very similar) will show up in more than one song.

Melodies cannot be copyrighted? Hmmmm...so if I recorded an instrumental...say the Beatles' instrumental "Flying," or maybe "Dueling Banjos," its mine, all mine? Maybe I misunderstood you?
