    I love the fact that she sampled The Zombie 'Time Of The Season'. Vocally, she's a force to be reckoned with all.

    @16carson16 I'm not a Fiona's fan nor a Beyonce's one but an MJ fan for life and I still believe that Fiona is way better than Beyonce and unfortunately waaaay understimated than Beyonce,I don't know for what reason but I believe this is true and sad in the same time.

    "I don't think you understand, how real it is for me to find a man who thinks he can!..."
    "Give it to me right...or don't give to me at all!"

    Finally someone with some sense knows where this songs origins from.
    I grew up with the zombies cause my dad played it 24/7 and recognize this riff + beat instantly.
    Still, the producer of Melanie did a great job on this track. Her RnB voice combined with this unique rythmn makes the song sound up-to-date and totally new.
    I can't deny i like it very much and have to give credits!
    Big up!

    the song sounds great so what she used a sample she gave credit and got permisson to use it to me sample is the same as remaking a whole song only difference is your using a track either way sampling has be done for years even in the 1980's the only difference is now you get permission and get it cleared who hasent sampled a song so just because she samples the zombies that doesnt make her a true artist please get real

    Semi-literate, I won't dignify that, but let me rebut the BullShit, Inspiration my ass, They flat out RIPPED those guys off, listen here son, let me educate you, American music is BLACK MUSIC, from the Call nd Response era on the plantations, to Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Soul, RocknRoll(rock,metal) RnB,POP, HipHop, we keep creating it nd the power structure keep stealing nd fabricating, nd your right it's my opinion that this is a better song, but I'm sure whole lot of people would also agree.

  • @cmorrow74
    @cmorrow74 15 років тому

    Well, I don't generally listen to pop/r&b/hip-hop for that very reason. Covering a song is one thing, but liftng the music from a song and changing the lyrics is theft, in my opinion.
    Speaking as a musician and a writer, I see it as very disrespectful and unoriginal to sample the music from a song that someone else put time and effort into writing, even if the song is 40 years old.
    Yes, I agree, she has a great voice, but it's tarnished by the blatant ripoff of someone else's music.

  • @cmorrow74
    @cmorrow74 15 років тому

    It's hard for me to get past the fact that the music is taken from The Zombies 'Time of the Season'. It's one thing to write music that's similar to another song, but to rip the music directly from an old classic shows blatant disrespect to the authors of the original song. It's a bullshit Vanilla Ice technique that just doesn't fly.
    Great voice, but the lack of originality really kills it for me.

  • @mjbset93
    @mjbset93 14 років тому

    Ok she has a nice voice but.... This is another example of the sad state of the industry of pop music since the early to mid 1990's till today. This song is features an iconic sample from the Zombie's "Time of the Season". In fact the chunk of the song they are using brings same to the word sample. What's next someone sing some sappy love song lyrics over the Beatles' "Come Together" and we call them the next big thing? Oh by the way the song was made several year before I was born.

  • @Prtymochagrl
    @Prtymochagrl 15 років тому

    Melanie Fiona was given permission to use the tune in this song. I am sure Rod was flattered and pleased that someone wanted to use his music. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Melanie is exposing people to the Zombies who have never even heard of them.
    Your taste in music is questionable. The only artist that we share in taste is Aerosmith. Although, I would never claim that they had great voices. Screaming and screeching over loud music is not singing.

Great wishes, siggi

  • @hahhahahahha
    @hahhahahahha 15 років тому

    haha to all of you complaining about the rip-off: it's very common, not only at our present time -> see tina turner e.g.
    but i think as long as you don't just copy without doin anything different it's ok...
    and if you guys perhaps listen to hip hop/ rap nearly EVERY track is sampled which leads me to say: sampling can be very creativ and as i said hip hop/rap is born out of sampling! IMAGINE!
    peace to all artists

    shows how much u know!!
    and besides she has got a beautiful voice and she is famous for it!!
    who r u and what do u do for a living???

    @Aqua-Jae 15 років тому

    And on that thought DougThug1 we wouldnt have the music we have today if it werent for those with rhythm in there heart and a certain song that they loved playing on the radio. There are several songs threw out music history that has been redone and modified to please the new generations. Rock started with Elvis and Pop with TLC, Britney, The backstreet boys, and many others. Over time music changes and it all starts with people just like Melanie Fiona.

  • @Smartass8504
    @Smartass8504 15 років тому

    You're really making a fool of yourself with this barrage of idiotic, repetitive statements.
    Melanie is listed as the writer of the lyrics and only that. She has never claimed to have produced the song, or to have composed the music. She has openly admitted in multiple interviews that she sampled the music of the Zombies for the song because she felt like it fit well.
    So pretty much all of your post here is moot.

  • @Vinneholly
    @Vinneholly 15 років тому

    It's sickening to see racism infiltrate every aspect of human culture. Music has no color, it's artistic expression and is influenced by all sorts of things. There are non-black people who make some of the most soulful music you'd ever want to listen to and black people who rock it as hard as Metallica. Stop living as a color and just live. People are people. This woman has sampled the musical track from the Zombies and made it work for her.

  • @djay96
    @djay96 15 років тому

    This isn't really classified as stealing. If she had taken both the musical production, concept and lyrics of the original, then yes, your charges of "theft" on her part would be justified. However, she is merely singing on a sample or copy of the instrumental to the original song, with a totally new concept. The highlight here is that she CAN sing, and that is her main talent....she's not the one manning the production boards for her songs so give her a break.

  • @93Newyorker97
    @93Newyorker97 15 років тому

    let me just say this. It is a rare thing for me to comment on videos, so this must mean something. (even though i'm just some random commenter out of millions of people), but to me it means you have a GREAT VOICE.
    There is a LOT of power and beauty in the way you sing, and you seem to be very lyrical. I love that. Not to mention the beat ties in AMAZINGLY, (its a beat from one of my favorite songs).
    I really believe you are gonna go somewhere. DO NOT STOP THE GOOD MUSIC :D.

  • @pjdaprinz
    @pjdaprinz 15 років тому

    Popular music is not in a stagnation, the problem is that people only follow mainstream songs and artists.
    There's plenty of good music out there people just have to learn to look for it because those artists don't get any airtime at all. That's why I those online music stores that have the "if you like this then you'll like... " feature.
    Lots of them even promote unknown artists with awesome repertoire.

  • @bruslaw
    @bruslaw 15 років тому

    I like both the classic "Time of the season" and the above. She made a good new song based on the Zombies' rythm section, a lot of expression in her voice...
    Alas, this also illustrates what a stagnation popular music has been in lately. 99% of what comes out these days is utter, bland crap which no one even remembers 5 years after. For musicians in the 60s finding inspiration in the 1920s would be a phenomenal rarity, today looking 40 years back is common, almost "obvious"...

    You have a wonderful voice, and will probably be successful in the music industry.
    That said, I don't know if I should address this to you or to your producer: Have you ever heard of integrity? What? Don't have
    a single creative thought in your head? Why do you have to steal not only other people's ideas, but the ACTUAL RECORDINGS of their work, and call it your own? You know, they used to hang horse thieves.

    @csibe21 15 років тому

    Well I listened now to that Zombies, and apart from the starting them I think that there's not much other common in the song - and definitely I love this one much better. And to be honest, even if it was a re-work, I would love this version much more than the old one, though I can imagine that at that time it was really cool

  • @LobsterFusion
    @LobsterFusion 15 років тому

    Learn to read, maybe. I never said she was bad. I never denied her talent as a singer. I do think she chose an impropor baseline for this song which doesn't match her vocals. I suggest you go back, re-read what I posted and if you still can't grasp what I said, then my "lame" comeback still stands accurate.

    I sometimes think these comments should be disabled but of course that would destroy free speech. If you don't like the song or you disagree with other peoples comments just get over it and get on with your life, no-one will make you listen to it or buy it. PS, historically, music evolves and let's face it samples are not a new phenomenon, ask Will Smith!

  • @MaLUMTLI
    @MaLUMTLI 15 років тому

    Dougy Thug1 - you are clearly an unformed blogger - please do your homework - it is illegal for an artist or anyone for that matter to use the tracks and/or lyrics for any song without first being granted PERMISSION of the owner of the piece - I do believe that the reputable label Fiona is signed to would have taken care of that .

    @Lochinvar111 15 років тому

    Time of the Season is a timeless classic. It was once said Time of the Season was made decades before its time and I believe its still searching for its place long after Zombies first created it. Time of the Season is my favorite some from when I was just a kid but I also love Give It To Me Right. Both Thumbs Up!

  • @MaLUMTLI
    @MaLUMTLI 15 років тому

    listening to the her interviews, sounds like she appreciates the old stuff and don't want people to forget it, so she's adding a new spin by bridging the gap between generations - I think it's great - cause I love the old stuff too. the song is great. I think her album dropping early summer is called The Bridge.
