Usher Accused Of Stealing Hit Song "Burn" From Songwriter

According to Billboard Magazine, the superstar singer allegedly stole his platinum 2004 hit "Burn," off of Usher's multi-platinum Confessions album, from a songwriter named Ernest Lee Straughter.


Last month, a California federal judge found there to be sufficient possibility that Usher and co-defendants who produced the song had access to Slaughter's work, "Reasons," created in 1998.

The judge accepted a musicologist's report that noted substantial similarity between the songs and denied a motion to dismiss the case on summary judgment. That means a jury might have the rare opportunity to listen to two songs and determine if the Usher song was stolen.

What do you think Below are the 2 songs...GTFOH is was I HAVE TO say but YOU be the JUDGE yo!
