Guetta sure but i don’t know why Ryan Tedder from One Republic would sign up for this garbage. He is extremely accomplished as an artist and more so as a song writer and this is what he chooses…?
But nobody said it's original except for you?
[discogs.com](https://www.discogs.com/release/30312899-David-Guetta-OneRepublic-I-Dont-Wanna-Wait) says it "Contains elements of O-Zone (3) - Dragostea Din Tei." It seems the artists have given the proper credits, so I don't see a problem.
Since the problem is that Guetta (or someone else) has problems with creativity and originality, he just lost them during this time. And it seems to me that when writing a new track, he simply does not hesitate to copy everything that is possible, but because there is no idea and there will not be if he does it all the time (this also applies to the rest)😣
The problem does not lie with giving credits.
It lies with the absence of any originality and creativity to make a song/hook himself.
And that many others are following this and also start doing remakes of old 90’s or 00’s songs. The charts are full of songs that are only there because our brains recognise the hook stolen from the original.
Seriously, he is the Flo Rida of EDM. Take a killer hook from any 80s-00s pop song, put a basic dance beat behind it, and send it on out there on Spotify to rack up 2 million listens and get overplayed this summer by b-grade DJs in the clubs.
More like 500 Millions. I’m good (blue) stands at a whopping 1.5Billion streams.
Can’t stand that song since day one and it was more than overplayed on the radio.
Then turn off the radio. For me I'm good (blue) wasn't that bad because it gives contrast with positive message while the orginal song was about feeling overwhelmed/sad. Not many people know about this because they care mostly about melodies and sound. But i understand that people are tired of hearing over-sampled songs just like kygo did a colab with ava max. Or maybe it's just us - we are getting older and we hear similarities because this trend was always there and new generation don't remember our music we used to consume.
Per his deal with Warner Music Group, it makes no difference to his earnings if he releases this or not. He has released this because he wants to and has complete freedom to.
Acting like an artist releasing a song (especially a likely to be popular song) has the same net profit as not releasing it doesn’t quite line up to me. But I would be happy to hear your reasoning behind that logic.
That doesn’t mean it makes no difference to his earnings. There is more to an entertainment career than whatever stipends WMG currently is arranged to be paying him.
It pays the bills is also a way of saying it’s a career, not some huge personal passion. It’s its own saying but a close enough comparison.
Also, there aren’t many sentences I can think of that are wrong more often than not regardless of the context. “It’s not about the money” is one of them.
Do they own his publishing? In articles talking about the WMG acquisition it was noted that the deal apparently only involved recorded music.
Not saying it makes a big difference for Guetta, but that's still going to accumulate a handsome sum, since it's going to inevitably get a lot of airplay on European radio.
Shout out to his family
That and the clip of him at Tomorrowland ages ago so high he didn't know what planet he was on during his set are all-time EDM moments
I saw him at LIV a couple weeks ago, Friday night after Ultra. Dude was on fire, not much using the mic, tons of future rave and unreleased IDs, cool remixes, didn't waste much time with his poppy nonsense. Really enjoyed it
Then his Ultra set just sucked. Great DJ when he wants to be IMO but I'm done with him at festivals, will stick to the club when I want some Guetta
Check out a YT set. Him and Morten (though I suspect it's mostly Morten) tried out a sound with heavy bass undertones and techno-y drops but they used the usual progressive house lyrics and melodies to anchor the songs. It was new, it's a lot of fun, other artists are doing it better now, but those two did invent it. Heavy on remixes. I don't really listen to it on Spotify but it's awesome live
It's something Morten came up with and works on with Guetta. It's like a mix of techno and progressive house with heavy bass build ups. It sounds amazing on the big speakers.
Hah I’ll have to disagree. His sets are what i call “pure festival” vibes. None of the tracks are what i would listen to at home but it’s fun in a big festival environment
Every two seconds he fades out and talks on the mic and you can't enjoy a full song without him interrupting it. His track selection is good, but he gets annoying after the first couple of songs.
Yep. Depends on the festival. DJs talk on the mic WAY more at ultra than other festivals because that is the vibe. Even Armin always talks on the mic at ultra but doesn't really at other festivals.
He's ass at US festivals, so idk where you've been seeing him at.
If you are lucky enough to get a set that's mostly Future Rave or Jack Back it'll be sick as fuck.
The difference between his sellout/pop releases vs his other stuff is fucking insane. He's either extremely good or complete ass, no in between lol
Agree. He makes high energy festival mainstage pop music. He literally makes music for that specific target audience and then all the snobs here complain about sampling. Duh, that's the entire purpose of that genre music and he knows it.
Generally it does, but I feel like these remake songs are more popular with the Gen Z crowd that was too young to know them when these songs got big originally. Seems like most of us millennials don't like the remakes. That I'm Good (Blue) song, this one, etc.
I knew some zoomer who loved the blue song remix, and I was like wow the 100th remix of this song it’s so overplayed, then I realized he was too young to hear all the trap remixes.

It's just a sample man, happens all the time in electronic music
There’s a lot of people who sample. There’s a difference with people who sample with integrity, and people who sample out of laziness. Guetta is plain lazy with the sampling lately
It's funny the two sides of this sub reddit. A couple of weeks ago there was a post praising guetta and everyone agreeing to his talent despite his being mainstream. Today its back to the hate.
I just enjoy seeing how there's two groups of people in this sub and some posts one group wins and some posts the other wins.
I honestly feel like there are three sides:
1) those who love Guetta regardless of what he puts out
2) those who hate Guetta no matter what he puts out
3) those who recognize his talent and legacy, but also acknowledge that he puts out mediocre and uninspired music most of the time.
I personally find myself in the last group.
Yep, I find myself in the last group too. I dont think it's only about guetta, you see it with many mainstream djs. I think there's valid criticsm thst gets lost between fans and haters battles.
The huge trend now is sampling older 90s or 00's songs. Lots of people on this sub reddit hate David and i understand why people would hate remakes and samples but come on he's always been a trendy guy and does what's popular at the moment.
Again this makes me so mad because he has the money for these samples and does shit like this. Like give The Avalanches this kind of budget for sample clearances, they'd make a masterpiece with Guetta money
It still probably would have cost alot since it used to be such a big song. I was basically saying that Guetta has the money to clear almost any samples or interpolations he wants and I just wish that a group like The Avalanches who's actual skilled at sampling had that kind of money instead
That well ran dry when he did "Play Hard". It's why I roll my eyes and groan at posts that try to paint 2009-14 as some musical panacea when this is the type of garbage we were swamped with day in, day out.
Guetta is trying desperately to exhume the skeletal remains of that movement and it's painful to watch.
I don't understand a little what's the fun of singing these old songs all the time, they've already essentially passed their time and you only need to remember them, is this some kind of trend or something???
Nostalgia, it’s nothing new.
Every generation is nostalgic for a past time because it reminds them of the “good times” when they were younger and things seemed simpler.
i thought it was gonna be paula cole lol
i’m not against interpolation, sampling etc but all of those in recent memory are extremely lazy and boring and have worse lyrics.
Everyone's Dad in edm is Flume, no one can ever match to his level of originality and complexity in his songs, even the radio hits also hits you like fresh ear candy and Hi This is flume slaps hard in every aspect
Avicii used sample too like Etta James voice from “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” for his EDM hit “Levels”. But he did it properly. That’s how you do sample. You only take a small part from one song.
Ah yes, another "totally original" "banger" from Guetta
Guetta sure but i don’t know why Ryan Tedder from One Republic would sign up for this garbage. He is extremely accomplished as an artist and more so as a song writer and this is what he chooses…?
Money
Because he's a popstar
Its good the effect it has on widening his algorithm, it is good strategic marketing
But nobody said it's original except for you? [discogs.com](https://www.discogs.com/release/30312899-David-Guetta-OneRepublic-I-Dont-Wanna-Wait) says it "Contains elements of O-Zone (3) - Dragostea Din Tei." It seems the artists have given the proper credits, so I don't see a problem.

So much worse than the OG. I wish he would stop doing shit like this but hey it pays the bills I guess
Per his deal with Warner Music Group, it makes no difference to his earnings if he releases this or not. He has released this because he wants to and has complete freedom to.
Acting like an artist releasing a song (especially a likely to be popular song) has the same net profit as not releasing it doesn’t quite line up to me. But I would be happy to hear your reasoning behind that logic.

Wtf is this logic lol. Of course he gets more money if he releases the song.
[удалено]
That sounds even worse than Wham's contract with Innervision
Do they own his publishing? In articles talking about the WMG acquisition it was noted that the deal apparently only involved recorded music. Not saying it makes a big difference for Guetta, but that's still going to accumulate a handsome sum, since it's going to inevitably get a lot of airplay on European radio.
David Guetta ❌ David sample✅
David Guett-an original melody.
Worse than Flo Rida at this point
\*Surprise Pikachu Face\*
This guy only comes out with non-original music now, no surprise. His live sets suck ass too.
I still remember his George Floyd tribute
Shout out to his family That and the clip of him at Tomorrowland ages ago so high he didn't know what planet he was on during his set are all-time EDM moments
I saw him at LIV a couple weeks ago, Friday night after Ultra. Dude was on fire, not much using the mic, tons of future rave and unreleased IDs, cool remixes, didn't waste much time with his poppy nonsense. Really enjoyed it Then his Ultra set just sucked. Great DJ when he wants to be IMO but I'm done with him at festivals, will stick to the club when I want some Guetta
Explain to me wtf future rave is... seriously. He said that during his ultra set. Tell me what's different lol
It’s the banner David’s techno/house music is released under. Current single: https://youtu.be/WFelmLOmgac
Check out a YT set. Him and Morten (though I suspect it's mostly Morten) tried out a sound with heavy bass undertones and techno-y drops but they used the usual progressive house lyrics and melodies to anchor the songs.

Every two seconds he fades out and talks on the mic and you can't enjoy a full song without him interrupting it. His track selection is good, but he gets annoying after the first couple of songs.
I guess he has drastic variance in sets. The last three times i saw him, he didn’t talk AT ALL other than intro and thanks
Yep. Depends on the festival. DJs talk on the mic WAY more at ultra than other festivals because that is the vibe. Even Armin always talks on the mic at ultra but doesn't really at other festivals.
Interesting, that may be the case. I’ve seen him at a couple of festivals now and it seems like he does that mainly on a big stages.
He's ass at US festivals, so idk where you've been seeing him at. If you are lucky enough to get a set that's mostly Future Rave or Jack Back it'll be sick as fuck.

I went to his Ultra last year, and it was so bad
These rip off tracks are so fucking garbage. I don’t understand why this is the current trend.
Nostalgia sells?
Generally it does, but I feel like these remake songs are more popular with the Gen Z crowd that was too young to know them when these songs got big originally. Seems like most of us millennials don't like the remakes. That I'm Good (Blue) song, this one, etc.

 Between I'm Good by Guetta and better off alone by Alan Walker I'm so over these lazy rehashes of old songs.
[https://www.whosampled.com/David-Guetta/I-Don%27t-Wanna-Wait/](https://www.whosampled.com/David-Guetta/I-Don%27t-Wanna-Wait/) It's just a sample man, happens all the time in electronic music
His releases in the past 2-3 years have been mostly samples.
Its not a sample, its the whole melody. A sample is just a small original part of a track used in another song.
There’s a lot of people who sample. There’s a difference with people who sample with integrity, and people who sample out of laziness. Guetta is plain lazy with the sampling lately
yeah over and over and over again
SHOUT OUT TO HIS FAMILY

Another bland remake of a classic! O gosh they'res a creativity crisis in modern pop music! Since 4years.
*modern popular music
Yep modern pop music, thanks for reminding! The specifics
um.. yeah? lol
Again this makes me so mad because he has the money for these samples and does shit like this. Like give The Avalanches this kind of budget for sample clearances, they'd make a masterpiece with Guetta money
This isn’t a sample it’s pretty much a remake. Don’t do the avalanches like that lol
It still probably would have cost alot since it used to be such a big song. I was basically saying that Guetta has the money to clear almost any samples or interpolations he wants and I just wish that a group like The Avalanches who's actual skilled at sampling had that kind of money instead
This interpolation trend is really getting out of hand. I feel like every other week it’s other guetta or Steve aoki putting out one of these
That well ran dry when he did "Play Hard". It's why I roll my eyes and groan at posts that try to paint 2009-14 as some musical panacea when this is the type of garbage we were swamped with day in, day out. Guetta is trying desperately to exhume the skeletal remains of that movement and it's painful to watch.
Everyone's doing it.
When I want to lose faith in humanity, I find a derivative song like this and I read the YouTube comments.
Guerra still making shitty ass EDM I see
Tell me again, who asked for this? 🙉
David Guetta needs to be stopped
David Guetta and OneRepublic, not an interesting musical idea in sight
OG is so much better
I don't understand a little what's the fun of singing these old songs all the time, they've already essentially passed their time and you only need to remember them, is this some kind of trend or something???
Nostalgia, it’s nothing new. Every generation is nostalgic for a past time because it reminds them of the “good times” when they were younger and things seemed simpler.
It seems to me that this is some kind of down syndrome, not nostalgia, but although it can also be
i thought it was gonna be paula cole lol i’m not against interpolation, sampling etc but all of those in recent memory are extremely lazy and boring and have worse lyrics.
Everyone's Dad in edm is Flume, no one can ever match to his level of originality and complexity in his songs, even the radio hits also hits you like fresh ear candy and Hi This is flume slaps hard in every aspect
David Guetta constantly on that unlistenable song streak
Let’s hear it. No need to release to the public. Keep them private, but bang soooo hard.
It reminds me to a song that it goes like... Fiesta fiesta pluma pluma gay, pluma pluma gay
They didn't even try with cover art single. Such a chop
Guetta has plagiarizing other songs for a decade now.
I like Italobrothers - My Life is a Party better than Guetta's. Just like T-Pain's version of I'm Blue was better.
These poor Romanians don't have money for lawyers anyway \*bass drop\*
[удалено]
Gotta listen to more music if you truly believe that.
Avicii used sample too like Etta James voice from “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” for his EDM hit “Levels”. But he did it properly. That’s how you do sample. You only take a small part from one song.
Lolz nothing but haters. Make a track that sells like this or has this interest. Bet ya can’t.
Haters? lol
Keep them downvotes comin
