Josh Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Both sounded the same as Brave and Express Yourself, but Born This Way sounding like Express Yourself was a bigger deal than Roar/Brave.

Domination Posted March 14 Posted March 14 For the same reason the GP scattered when Witness came out. No one was invested in Katy like that. The stakes were so low and the GP just wanted something to bop to. Gaga was considered an industry disrupter and held to a completely different standard. 14 1
ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted March 14 ATRL Moderator Posted March 14 Sara Bareilles embraced the similarities and the comparisons rejuvenated interest in her song. 6
secretgarden Posted March 14 Posted March 14 the madonna v. gaga comparisons didn't start (nor did they end) with born this way. plus madonna is way more publicly known & respected compared to sara bareilles (). 9
GraceRandolph Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Because Gaga intimidated a lot of people and they used the Madonna comparisons to tear her down. Tons of songs that sound similar to other songs never received the same amount of backlash. 8 1 1
Joyride Posted March 14 Posted March 14 because Sara is a sweetheart and never said anything bad about the comparisons. 4
JennyWayne Posted March 14 Posted March 14 No offense to her but I don't think Sara Bareilles has the same power as Madonna does As for the BTW controversy, that was flew over super quickly (outside of the Madonna fanbase, who are still bitter over a decade later lmao) 3 1
Rotunda Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Because Sara Bareilles isn’t a MPG and didn’t actually lose out on anything (commercially, or in terms of perception of her art). When asked about the controversy on ABC News Radio a few days later, Bareilles mentioned they are friends, and that the accusations, "…[put] this negative spin on two artists that are choosing to share positive messages," adding, "If I'm not mad I don't know why anybody else is upset." Bareilles did, however, acknowledge the similarity of Perry's song to her own,[23] a sentiment she repeated in a 2014 interview with CBS Sunday Morning reporter Ben Tracy: "I mean I can't say that I think that they don't sound similar …[but] it's only really good for my song. So, thank you, Katy Perry for that."[24] In direct response to the attention "Brave" received following the plagiarism accusations, Epic Recordspromoted "Brave" to the mainstream pop radio format. 1
umich Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Sara acknowledged the comparisons and denounced the hatred that Katy was receiving. She did not drag her or give her any grief. Meanwhile, Madonna shaded Gaga on national TV with the infamous "look it up" interview on GMA/ABC. 2

No one really cared outside about the comparisons outside of the forums.
BANKS Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Lady Gaga vs. Madonna had already been an ongoing conversation between stans and even the GP 1

alfonso12 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Cause Sara's song was kinda unknown, unlike Express Yourself.

Sara did not take offense to the similarities and is also lesser known without a fanbase. Nothing to do with investment into the artists. Edited March 14 by Gaia

Nothing to do with investment into the artists. You wish! Katy herself got ripped off of Birthday with Sugar and no one batted an eyelash. Love her but people were not checking for her like that, for better or worse. 2
AMIT Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The question has an obvious answer that you can reach if you spent 2 seconds thinking about it, but this being a Josh thread checks out.
satellites.™ Posted March 14 Posted March 14 She did, we lived it in real time. Sara however took it in stride and her song found a ton of success thanks to people hearing about it. I LOVE that song because of Roar actually, thats how music should work when its NOT intentional like with Gaga towards Madonna.
halcyonday Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Can someone be more local to 1 country? she's a total flop
