You're probably right. After all, she did rip off Sting twice with "Bring On The Night" by the Police for the Edge of 17 guitar and drum riff. Then she did it again with Sting's "Shape Of My Heart" for Bombay Sapphires.

On the other hand, Lindsey totally ripped of an obscure '80s song for "What's The World Coming To," the name of which is escaping me at the moment.

For those who haven't heard Richard Ashcroft's "New York," here it is:

J. Raymond is credited as a writer for What's the World Coming To. If Stevie actually borrowed from Sting that's not credited.

I have to admit, I had to listen to this one a few times before I started to like it. I didn't get it at first. There were moments in the song especially towards the end that took me by surprise...but for the most part I didn't think the lyrics (which I liked and thought made a great poem) were meant to be put to music...it seemed kind of forced and I didn't think it flowed very well. I love it now, though. It just took some getting used to.

Does it bother anyone else that she says Nag Champra? It's Nag Champa. It is also typed in the liner notes as Champra not Champa... That has always bothered me.... Am I alone? With my thoughts.. LOL

LOL! I realized that not long after first hearing the song. I had to google it because I had no idea what it was

I like the sound of Nag Champra better though! When I see a package of it being sold as Nag Champa, it looks a little nude to me without the 'r'. LOL

It's a rip-off, obviously. I'm disappointed, kinda
Still, I love Illume. At least, Stevie's lyrics are better...to me.

LOL, I agree! I burn it all the time, and it is, and will always be Nag Champra to me!!

It always drove me nuts too. When I showed a friend of mine the photo of her in the studio with the box of incense on the table in front of her he said, " the bitch had it right in front of her and she still got it wrong." The only thing I could think of is she didn't want to give free promotion to a company.

That really is the only thing that makes sense.

Of course, where Stevie is concerned, things don't always have to make sense, do they? She does kind of live in her own little world

"Champa" and "Champra" are both acceptable English spellings. Google it.
