Stereo Love - Edward Maya/Vika Jigulina vs. On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez

So...I've already gone on about this a little. But it's time to go into detail. First up: Stereo Love
Before I go any further, in all decency, I have to all the way back. "Stereo Love" is actually a sample of "Bayatilar" composed by Eldar Mansurov.

Artist: Brilliant Dadashova
Release Date: 1989


Hear it? The beginning? Edward Maya Himself says that this was his inspiration for "Stereo Love". After a certain amount of dispute, the copy right ordeals were settled between Edward and Eldar. Now "Stereo Love"

Artist: Edward Maya/Vika Jigulina
Release Date: October 17, 2009



Might I say that I love this song, and no, I'm actually not holding the sample over Edward Maya's head.
Now comes the interesting part. "On the floor" actually admits it's sampled, but not from stereo love. "On The Floor" is sampled from "Lambada"

Artist: Kaoma
Release Date: 1989 (same as Bayatiar, interestingly enough.)



"On The Floor" doesn't even try to cover up it's shameless sample of this. Even the phrasing is the same. Interesting enough, "Bayatilar" & "Lambada" don't sound anything alike, BUT...

Artist: Jennifer Lopez Feat. Pitbull
Release Date: February 11, 2011



Thereeee it is. Yeah. Although the accordion is similar, the real sample (I think) is in the electronic back ground. It's almost exactly the same in both songs. So what do you think? Shameless sample or understandable modern music similarity?
