Singer Phoenix Phenom is suing the Black Eyed Peas for allegedly stealing her song.

Phoenix Phenom claims that her song “Boom Dynamite” was stolen illegally and used to create the Black Eyed Peas huge hit “Boom Boom Pow.”

“Boom Boom Pow” was played everywhere when it first came out, so what took Phoenix Phenom and her co-writer so long to run to the lawyers and file this claim? These types of lawsuits can be tricky and you have to really have a good basis before you go accusing a band as big as the Black Eyed Peas of theivery.

Here is the video for Phoenix Phenom’s “Boom Dynamite.” Let’s take a listen and see if they are the same.

So, what do you think? Other than the fact that both songs say boom a lot, I’m not sure they are anything alike.
