Plagiarism!?

I no longer know the definition of plagiarism, when it comes to Music videos/Music …
But i would like to share this one with you .. since i read some misleading info on some place … Korean singer Mina’s kiss video is a copy of Turkish singer Tarkan aka “Turkish Prince of Pop” and i happen to know this … since by the time it was a hit song in Turkey i was in elementry school and all our upper classes were insane for the dude! Believe me the guy used to be such a hottie known for his EYES!

Here is his wbsite: http://www.tarkan-music.de/

Mina – Kiss Kiss[MV]

Tarkan – Şimarik (kiss)[mv]

Tarkan – Bounce MV – 2005 (is the latest mv available )

This is the recent English interview i found on him …
It is in fact from Sunday, June 17th, 2007 !!!!! WOHO!!!
Wow he is planning to shoot for American market?? Maybe i Should help out my people a little too lol!!! u hear him say his favorite song of all time is still Şimarik (translated: Kiss) after all these years … and please be nice to him cuz i do relate to him … my mom is half Turk.

I remember that song! lol But everyone seems to be copying it, Holly Valance did her version of Kiss Kiss years ago…was dreadful compared to the original!

wow he is going to have Wyclef Jean(not so if i spelled his name right)and maybe Snoop Dogg on his english album. i am sorry, but this the first time i ever heard of him. the only world music i listen to for now is Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and English of course. he sounded really good when he sang at the end of the vid and he kind of has a sexy voice. i hope does well here.:)

July 4th, 2007 at 4:24 pm

i am so glad i made this post then … cuz i didn’t see him mentioned as a original version anywhere among Asian websites!!!! hey at least 5 people know the truth now LOL~
