It looks like this week will be rich in scandals about plagiarism, and in fact today is only Wednesday. The other day in the theft of someone else's words from the song accused Taylor Swift, now the bad suspicions fell on the British singer Adele.
Hello
After three years of silence, the owner of the "Grammy", "Oscar", "Golden Globe" delighted music lovers with the new composition Hello. Over one million copies of CDs with a song were sold over a week, which was a record in the history of show business.
Subjects and words
The melomaniacs accused Adel of plagiarizing the work of the American composer and singer Tom Waits. They believe that the theme and phrases of the composition Hello are taken from the song Martha, which was released by Waits in 1973.
This criticism sounds not only from the mouth of fans of the singer's creativity, Adele fans, reluctantly, also do not deny that these two musical works are similar.

Oil in the fire
And without that delicate situation, the revelation of producer Greg Kerstin, who collaborated with Adele when creating Hello, was heated. The man admitted that she had repeatedly told him about Waits' inspirational lyrics.
Tom and Adele have not commented on the situation. At the moment it is not clear whether, in general, the singer has a claim to the performer.
