MARY J. BLIGE SUED BY MADONNA'S PUBLISHERS
Madonna and Mary J. Blige are set to take different sides in a new court battle over the pop hit "Holiday."
Bosses of the publishing company behind the 1983 classic claim Blige's "Barbershop 2" song "Not Today" is a rip-off of the tune and they're suing the R&B superstar and collaborators Eve and Dr. Dre to prove it.
New York musicologist Judith Finnell has been brought in, and she insists the original publishers have a strong case. she tells the legal show "Celebrity Justice," "It sounds similar enough to bear further consideration. Both the pitches and the rhythms sound closely related."
