Katy Perry knocked off a Sara Bareilles song, and I’m not even mad about it.

Katy Perry Roar Cover

Katy Perry’s new single, “Roar,” was just released…. and it’s one of those songs that’s like herpes and will never go away no matter how hard you try to get rid of it (I AM NOT SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, BY THE WAY.) So, if you press play, be prepared to hum this shit for like 2 days! I’m warning you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

So now that you’ve infected your brain with that song, people are saying Katy Perry ripped off the Sara Bareilles song, “Brave,” which I have to agree after listening to the songs. They have a similar beat, sway, and message.

They’re not exactly the same. but the fact that Katy tweeted about the song Brave a few months ago doesn’t help her case much. I’d never heard Sara’s song before, so I listened to it, and it made me cry because it’s such a great song and video, and message. Words to live by, folks. Show me how big your brave is!!!

Here is the mashup of the two songs. You see what I’m sayin’?

Either way, it happens. They’re different enough that I think maybe Katy was just inspired by the song. Just like when you hear a joke and you think of it months/years later and think you thought of it yourself? But you actually stole it? Yeah, like that.


As if Allison Williams couldn’t get any hotter….

As if Allison Williams couldn’t get any hotter….she goes and does this*.

 

*3 years ago, but still.

**Apparently this video made Judd Apatow want to cast her in the role of Marnie on Girls.


I’m obsessed with… this Drake and Jack Johnson mashup
