Will.I.Am has been added to the roster of song stealing by British singer/songwriter/producer FrankMusik. The song in question is Will.I.Am featuring Cheryl Cole – Boy Like You.
FrankMusik made the accusation on his twitter page by tweeting; “OK SO Cheryl Cole ft Will.i.am – Boy Like You IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF OF A TRACK I DID FOUND HERE!”
So Perez Hilton did some digging, and came up with the goods insisting that they are ‘alike’. The truth is to be seen or not.
Previous accusations included Michael Jackson’s latest single; ‘This Is It’ which was reportedly stolen by the popstar from Paul Anka’s studio when they were to do a colaboration on the song originally entitled ‘I never heard’.
To listen to both of the tracks on youtube and make your own mind up use the links below.
FrankMusik’s track is here, while Cheryl Cole and Will.I.Am’s version is here.
So, what are your views? Who did the original? Does it even sound alike?

Will.i.am didn’t steal from Frankmusik. BOTH songs use a sample of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Little Lies’ – you know that FAMOUS song.
Frankmusik is an idiot, how can he claim it’s his song when they both took it from another track. He’s after cheap publicity because his album flopped.
