HAHAHA, actually 'Hello' is a song made for the Danish 2nd-winner of Xfactor. They also made a cover song 'Love Like Oxygen' that's a cover of the 1st Danish winner of Xfactor a few years ago.. It's kinda funny. xD But I really like Lucifer. I just wish they'd stop covering other people's songs.

I listened to both versions, and I don't think they're exactly the same.
so I think it's not a remake. just my opinion.
It would be nice though, to do all completely original songs.

here's something I found about it, but it's not the article thing I had read.
SHINee’s Hello is NOT a remake.
I do too. He definitely is. Anyone can see that.
I don't mind either. not one bit.

''Hello'' IS a remake.. Just like SNSD's ''Run Devil Run'' and SHINee's ''Love Like Oxygen'' - 'Hello' IS a remake.

The original artist is a contestant from the Danish version of X-factor (or something..) and his website is Mohamed Ali
His songs can be sampled on iTunes, from what I know.. He came out with the song WAY before SHINee.

Besides, it's not the first time that SM Entertainment snaps up Danish artists' songs :'3

I couldn't find Mohamed's single on Youtube.. : / sadly.. but I did find Martin's ''Show the World'' single: YouTube - Martin - Show the World (ALBUM VERSION), that SHINee covered.. ehh.. for their first album :3 I think.

Shinee is going to be performing in the US on nov 26! I wish I could go. :)

When some groups do songs that other artists have done, they're not exactly remakes...the person that wrote the song in the first place can sell the song to whatever companies they want, and it could just happen that they'd both end up with it.

I've been listening to Juliette nonstop lately @_@
