Sara Bareilles thanks Katy for helping Brave become a hit
Quote:
Do you think Sara Bareilles' "Brave" and Katy Perry's "Roar" sound similar?
Fans have complained that Perry seems to have borrowed from Bareilles. "Roar" came out three months after "Brave." But Bareilles is more forgiving in an interview on "CBS Sunday Morning" at 9 a.m. this weekend on WKMG-Channel 6.
"I can't say that I think that they don't sound similar," Bareilles tells Ben Tracy. "I've known Katy a really long time, and we're friends." But the furor over the songs' similarity hasn't hurt, Bareilles said. Rather, it has been "only really good for my song. So, thank you, Katy Perry, for that."
"I just felt like I was watching the song take flight and take on a life of its own," she says. "It was becoming something bigger than it had even intended to be. And that's always, oh my gosh, what amazing hope for something you create."
Bareilles' "Blessed Event" is a Grammy nominee for album of the year. She and Perry are both nominees for best pop solo performance for their respective songs. The other nominees are Bruno Mars for "When I Was Your Man," Lorde for "Royals" and Justin Timberlake for "Mirrors."
First she graciously allows Dr. Luke to give her original song California Gurls to her longtime friend Ke$ha in order to kick off her career and then just three years later she kindly remixes Brave to draw attention to Sara, out of the goodness of her heart, and her generosity gives Sara three Grammy Award nominations in the process. The Gandhi of our generation.

Katy is too gracious, sharing her song and Grammy with the others. A true queen
