Salah Siapa?

I always thought of this, and this morning it came accross my mind again. So it is better for me to write it out and let others think of it.

The cheerleading scene in Malaysia has been growing positively every year. No doubt, the power house of our competition here has set great standards for other teams to follow. Newer teams slowly pops up like mushroom from all over Klang Valley.

But when it comes to the blue mat, how can we recognise a routine is either original or a rip off? My only concern here is the originality of the cheers/chants. Is it wrong if this particular team has used the following cheer:

Team, Lets Go!
1-2-3
Score team Score!

and another team uses the same the next year? Is that called ripping off? If you agree with that, then I would suggest that all the American teams has been not original either as all their cheers are so simillar!

My conclusion to this is that it is never wrong if you have simillar cheers/chants or perhaps it mgiht sound the same, as long the motions or the choreography of the cheers/chants are not the same then it is ok. It is not a rip off! Agree?
