Oh Justin Bieber — first the paparazzi, then the cops and now, beef with One Direction?! If you’ve seen the lyrics for JB and Carly Rae Jepsen’s upcoming “Beautiful” duet — and you know that you have! — then you may have noticed some eerie similarities to the lyrics of a certain boy band (or of a certain boy) from across the pond. And it seems like many 1D fans have, too, since there is some major dramz going down on Twitter between Directioners and Beliebers — and they’re even managing to get Ed Sheeran in on the action, too!
Twitter/YouTube
The Background: One Direction has done its share of work for letting us ladies know “You don’t know you’re beautiful/That what makes you beautiful.” But via Internet rumblings, it seems as though Justin and Carly will give them a run for their money during their upcoming duet, “Beautiful” off of Carly’s new album, Kiss.
It all started with Justin’s recent tweet that his duet with Carly, “Beautiful” was tweeted as having similar lyrics back in 2011, a claim which a Jepsener backed up:
tweeted July 30 2011 – “what makes you so beautiful is that you dont know how beautiful you are… to me” now #KISS @carlyraejepsen #Sept18

Remember when @justinbieber tweeted”what makes u so beautiful is u don’t know how beautiful u are to me”? Lyrics to his duet with Carly!

And despite Beliebers being thrilled about these two Canadians and labelmates making sweet music together, Directioners were less than thrilled:
@justinbieber by that time wmyb was written already, don’t worry.

In fact, fans have even made it a point to show that Ed Sheeran’s song, “Wake Me Up,” has similar lyrics, so Justin and Carly were doubly wrong:

But rather than endorse the fighting, it seems that Justin has stepped in to quell it, tweeting:
want no arguments with my fans with others. no need for that. if i can be friends with other artists we can be friends with other fans

And, to further prove that there’s no animosity between the guys, Justin sent out a tweet directly to Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, just in time for the 2012 MTV VMAs!
@niallofficial @zaynmalik good time fellas. welcome to la

Which side are you on in this “twitter war?” Do you think JB and Carly copied 1D’s lyrics or the other way around?
Spread the Word
god guys Justin posted this 2 years ago on twitter when 1D never even existed
Oh my God!!!!!There are loads of famous songs with similar titles or lyrics.I adore 1D,but directioners can be sooooo dramatic and stupid sometimes.And why is Justin getting flack for this and not Carly?There is such a thing as common sense you know?!!!
WHY IS JUSTIN GETTING HATE SO WHAT IF THEY COPIED ITS CARLY’S ALBUM BTW NOT HIS
GO JB
jb won lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu so much <3
ONE DIRECTION ALL THE WAT but i like jb. DIRECTIONER
They may have not copied each otha…it can jus be a coincidence or maybe they jus wanted the song to say tht…..jus because they sound a lil same doesnt mean they copied!
I agree with you!!!!!
nice picture of jb!!!! LUV IT!
But this song is on Carly’s album. Why is Justin receiving the hate??
ONE DIRECTION!! all the way!!! Justins JEALOUS of 1D!
Errrr. Justin was out 4 years before anyone had even mentioned the words one direction, justin has more fame, and money than 1D so whats there to be jealous of.. Fuck off will ye? Hating on my idol:/
DIRECTIONER FOR LIFE!!! TEAM ONE DIRECTION ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one direction always but i still love justin bieber
Its so obivous that JB ripped off 1D and Ed. If he didnt go off exposing himself and ripping other artist off MAYBE.. he’d get more fans.
