How to be a Nashville Star – rip off someone else’s song


So I got sucked into to watching “Nashville Star” a few years ago. It’s usually easy to figure out which half of the contestants that start won’t make it through. But tonight (Monday) was “original song” night. Except that Gabe Garcia didn’t have one.

You can find a smidgen of his song here:

You can hear a midi version of the original recording by Sugarland.

I can’t believe no one blasted him on this. It may not be an intentional rip off, but I think it’s close enough that the courts would require him to hand over a few million for recording it. Ask Vanilla Ice.
