Cheryl Cole is being tangled in claims that her 2009 single was copied from another track. According to reports, record executives from seven different companies have joined together in claiming that the UK Number One single was plagiarised from an unreleased demo entitled ‘I Want You Back’.
However, Cheryl Cole will escape without individual legal troubles. According to a British newspaper, the melody for the track was written by Wayne Wilkins, who had also worked on ‘I Want You Back’ seven years earlier. The track was never released publically, but recorded and circulated as a demo for prospective singers.
Wilkins has spoken in response to the plagiarism claims from music publishers Wardlaw Banks and Peermusic, stating that he can’t remember exactly what his input into ‘I Want You Back’ was.
Meanwhile, Cole is still preparing her quest for US domination. The singer is reworking her debut album ‘3 Words’ with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am, hoping that the updated version will appeal more to a stateside audience.
The singer is also still rumoured to be in the running for a judging role on the US ‘X Factor’. Despite months of speculation to the contrary, Simon Cowell posted a message during a public Twitter chat yesterday claiming that Cheryl Cole was very much still in contention for the role, and that the judges would be confirmed “soon”.
