62. GEEZE of COURSE they are going to sound similar, THEY ARE THE SAME SONG! Unless you completely change a song or tune, which neither did, it IS GOING TO SOUND THE SAME! Nimrods!

63. Hi Robin... are you a myspace friend of Doxology? Or are you just looking for a reason to comment? They are actually asking their FANS to come here and vote if they agree that the american idol guy ripped them off. They haven't asked ANYONE to come comment about them. Your assumption is what is "PATHETIC"

64. I was only able to hear 34 seconds of either version so I am unable to make an accurate determination. Sorry Guys!

65. Kristina, Can we vote if Doxology ripped off the Beatles?

Posted at 5:21PM on Mar 12th 2008 by Ha!

66. UM didnt the Beatles first cover this song? So anyone who copied it is a "copier" and anyone who then copies that copy - who cares you are all imitators. Even Aretha had a more rock version of Elanor Rigby and I dont see her calling Idol.

67. First off.... YES.. LET'S DO A POLE ABOUT THAT "HA!". Obviously you haven't caught on that we are debating THE ARRANGEMENT.. NOT THE LYRICS. Try to catch up....and Christina.. WONDERFULLY PUT!!

68. it seems to me that most of the people commenting don't understand that there is a difference between an "arrangement" and the "original song". the Doxology version is different from the Beatles version (aka- arrangement). and if this dude on AI sang the same "version" as Doxology then he shouldn't claim it as his own (and not acknowledging that it's not his own is still claiming it to be his own). it shouldn't matter if Doxology isn't a mainstream band- if he ripped off (the once again popular) Sonic Youth's arrangement of "Superstar" everyone would be up in arms, why should this be any different?

69. What..they want credit for their arrangement of a cover? It's not that friggin hard to play the exact same chords the Beatles did but just put it in a rock tempo. So what I'm saying is that its not out of the realm of possibility that the Idol guy just had the same idea. You just covered it DOXOLOGY, don't try and put on the front that you have some creative process involved in making that song work in a rock tune. Eleanor Rigby is made for it.

70. All the Doxology fans that happened to watch Idol last night immediately recognized the arrangement - it was obvious to those of us who know NOTHING about the "technical side" of making music. the idea behind "rip-off" becoming an "issue" isn't for fame, money or all the glory - it's the common courtesy and respect that everyone in the business should have for each other. THAT MUCH likeness cannot be passed off as coincidence. it's apparent that david cook, as well, is a doxology fan. he just took it a little too far.

and to all the negative comments concerning doxology: do you fools just sit at home in front of your computer, refreshing your screen for the latest story on tmz to pop up so you can (anonymously) bash people that you don't even know? at least post a name or a website and own up to your ridulous immaturity. get a life. seriously. or even better, get smart and listen to ten seconds of just one of their songs. you cannot deny talent, and they didn't even have to use a FOX reality show to make a name for themselves.

71. I do not believe that DOXOLOGY is saying that David ripped off their SONG, rather they are pointing out that he ripped off their ARRANGEMENT! None of them are my sons, my boyfriend, my best friend - in no way am I related to them. I simply enjoy their music and commend their talent. I support them in their effort to be recognized for the adaptation.

I in no way disagree that David has talent of his own either. However, I believe that it is DOXOLOGY’s talent that should be recognized in this case. Many of you may not realize it but this more than just who is ripping who off – there are copyright laws that state that this arrangement is in fact DOXOLOGY’s.

As fans we are not being asked to come and comment or debate with any of you, it is our sole decision to support and stand up not only for the band itself, but for the right to be recognized for the work and effort they put into an awesome arrangement.

I will allow you all to continue to negatively debate this topic and insult the DX supporters, in the ignorant fashion that you so choose to do. As for me, I will be getting back to focusing on my important career. Something I am assuming many of you lack based on the ignorance you so blatantly display in your commenting.

72. Cook rocked and he has a great voice. The version by this other band is similar but it's the same damn song, there's only so many ways to sing it. I mean, both versions are similar to another version floating around out there. You know, the one by that group called the Beatles.

73. yes kristina Im on their friends list even though I dont care about them or their music *sarcasm*

74. All I have to say is David Cook's version was way better. And I agree he is better than Archuletta. Give me a break with the ripp-off stuff it's a cover, Doxology should build a bridge and get over it. David Cook can wail!!!!!!!!!!!

75. Well then Robin... maybe you should go pick out something else to debate about.. since you have no idea what the F*** you are talking about. lol
