I know there's an "Artists Accused of Copying" thread but I decided to make a new thread for this to see how the media and the public react to Katy's new song.
Her new song, "Roar", leaked earlier this morning and it's already being compared to another song by Sara Bareilles. The songs sound surprisingly similar.
This video shows the comparisons between both:
Remember how "Born This Way" received endless amounts of media coverage because of how similar it sounded to "Express Yourself"? Well, let's see if Katy receives similar treatment.

Katy already Tweeted that she was inspired by Sara whatshername so it's not a copy. Saying 'I was inspired by...' doesn't mean it's not a plagiarism. She must ask the owner of copyright whether she can use samples and determine the cost of royalties. Only then we can say that it's not a copyright infrigement. |

Look at this! Katy is accused of copying the song Brave AND the music video. Both videos are screenshots of an IPhone texting and use emoticon symbols instead of words to go along with the lyrics. Katy Perry accused of plagiarism over new single, Roar- Katy Perry has been accused of plagiarising both the melody and the video for her new single, Roar. Pop fans have drawn similarities between Perry's recent releases and works by Sara Bareilles and Dillon Francis.
Bright and propulsive, Roar was released yesterday – the lead single for Perry's forthcoming album, Prism. But about four months ago, the American singer Sara Bareilles released her own bright and propulsive single, a track called Brave. That song, which reached No 61 in the US, has a lot in common with Roar: several enterprising listeners have mashed the songs together, highlighting the similarities. The matter is even more controversial because Perry herself tweeted about Brave, saying in May that she "hearts" Bareilles.
Meanwhile, as the Daily Swarm observed, moombahton DJ Dillon Francis has begun clamouring about the resemblance between Roar's lyric video and his own clip for the track Messages. Released through Diplo's Mad Decent label, Messages has a video built out of text bubbles, emoji and other trappings of modern instant messaging. The brand new video for Roar uses the same technique.
"@katyperry steals my 'Messages' music video idea … What the fu*k?" Francis tweeted. "Legitimately this is so dope that @katyperry's director thought my video was good enough to rip off … Even if you don't like my music come to one of my shows and I bet you will be blown away by my fans and I."
Perry has yet to respond to either claim.
Notice that unlike some pople, Sara just didn't make a big deal out of it or go on TV and call it reductive.  |

Katy already Tweeted that she was inspired by Sara whatshername so it's not a copy. The article posted said that Katy sent a Tweet with hearts to Sara. That is not saying that she was inspired. Katy might have heard it and decided to make a similar sound for her song. |
