[caption id="attachment_205966" align="aligncenter" width="228" caption="Andrea Bucaram"][/caption] Ecuadorian singer Andrea Bucaram has been under fire from A-Plus' around the world for her copy of MBLAQ's song, "Oh Yeah". She's devoted the better part of her tweets from the past 24 hours responding to fan criticisms, though much of it seems to have been edited. Andrea's defended herself by saying that "I never said that the song was mine - just the adaption, yes. If you knew english, you would notice that its not the same, only the chorus." She also wrote, "I haven't sold any albums, .I didnt insult anyone, i didnt plagiarize , i didnt steal. Before being mean to me, look it up. Blessings from my heart - singing a cover isnt a crime." On her personal Facebook page, she posted "I love Koreans and I am also a fan of MBLAQ and want them to come to Ecuador." Shortly after, she posted that, "You only get one life, enjoy it. Chinese Ecuadorians are throwing bombs at me. I love the world, my friends, and those who want to hurt me, I wish you the best, my happiness is mine." The issue has gained so much attention that a media outlet covered the controversy and interviewed the singer. Bucaram spoke out on the issue, saying that she was a fan of MBLAQ. But MBLAQ fans were quick to point out that they felt her fan admission was false after they saw her make a grave error in an interview. The singer said that she didn't know, "MBLAQ had existed for 6 years and that Korean people spoke English as their first language." Fans have uploaded a video of the interview below, and although the quality is lacking, if you can understand Spanish you should be able to make out what's being said in the interview. -- Part 1 Part 2 -- Source: Andrea Bucaram's Twitter (1), (2), (3), Andrew Bucaram's Facebook (1) Tip: Nagi
