lol too perfect.
 
So does Katy not dance in her vids? Just watched this and see no dancing, and don't recall her dancing well or much at all during the superbowl
 
Is KP popular in Asia? because I cant understand how these videos have so many views.
Song in the op is pretty mellow and not something I would imagine getting so many views. Roar is alright but not amazing.
Like her older stuff better.
 
Honestly I think this says way more about how people don't buy music (and therefore kids are streaming songs on Youtube over and over again), rather than anything specific about this song.
 
Are you serious? The Vanilla Ice picture is so very relevant

God damn people, do you not hear the notes in melodies at all? A lack of syncopation is not the sum total of these two pieces of music.

Look at the sheet music for Dark Horse:

I couldn't find sheet music for Moments of Love, but you can watch the piano roll here:

Notice how the melodies are COMPLETELY different? How Dark Horse is a repeated 4-note descending melody? And Moments of Love is a 16-note melody that, for example, only descends one time?

I can't read music so it means nothing to me what evidence you present, but my ears don't deceive me and they sound a lot alike.
 
It's a good pop tune.

If you're listening to pop music don't pretend you have any standards.

You don't need to be able to read music to see that the little dots are moving in completely different directions. Those little dots are the notes being played. Your ears think they sound the same because you're unfamiliar with melody and are distracted by cadence.
 
A friend of mine describes Katy Perry as the world's most attractive 'girl next door' or, if you're feeling mean, 'plain girl'.

As a fan of Ms Perry's work and wondrous looks I violently disagreed with him..., and yet, in my quieter moments, I can see where he's coming from.

Do you see?

Sam Smith had to pay Tom Petty royalties because he apparently accidentally ripped him off.

These things look quite different and IMO they don't sound much alike yet Sam Smith had to pay royalties, my ears think Katy Perry and Art of Love sound identical yet to my knowledge Art of Love aren't getting royalties or song writing credit. There are many internet critics who thought they sounded alike.

Basically a pretty girl that you think you might have a shot with.
Even if you know you don't.

She isn't a 'stunner' in so much as she'd 'stop traffic' but there's no doubting that she's an attractive woman.

But it's worth baring in mind that if Russell Brand can not only shag her but actually marry her then it's a level playing field for everyone.

...

Those look different because the the melody Sam Smith copied is in the refrain of his song, which isn't available in the free snippet you linked to.

If you don't think the refrain of Stay With Me sounds melodically close to the verses of I Won't Back Down, then you should probably just stop making comments about what sounds are similar or dissimilar.

You're judging me about shit that sounds familiar yet you are arguing that moments in love sounds nothing like Dark Horse, but we can agree to disagree.

I feel like I'm being trolled. You brought up I Won't Back Down / Stay With Me. Find the relevant parts of the melodies and you'll see the relationships between the notes are similar if not identical for significant portions.

Meanwhile, I showed you the melodies for Moments In Love and Dark Horse, in which the melodies are not even close to similar for reasons I already explained.

There is no symmetry between our positions. This is not a subjective issue. You are ignorant about this topic and wrong. That's okay - I'm ignorant about a lot of stuff that's much more important than this. But still, "agree to disagree" is really not what we're dealing with here.
 
What a sad fucking world. This garbage song/video that sounds like noise getting 1billion and that absolutely generic shit that is Roar getting close to it. Of course one of her few good songs with an actual good video (Last Friday Night) is nowhere close. Pop scene sure is pathetic and sad nowadays.

I told you I can't read music so presenting sheet music means very little to me.
I looked at a song where royalties were paid because a court said they sounded alike and I said the sheet music doesn't look very alike.
I can't read music so I don't know it was a different part of the song that was ripped off. I also said Dark Horse sounds a lot like moments in love and you claim otherwise citing sheet music as evidence.
I still think they sound alike because fuck me they do, I know some might say you shouldn't appeal to majority but I bet you if you poled gaffers they'd think the two songs have quit the similarities.

Am i missing anything?

Yes, a basic understanding of music and ears that aren't hot garbage at discerning melody.

I think most purses look the same, but that's because I have no training or natural eye for the relevant distinctions within them. So I don't go around claiming they're all copies of each other.

Buy some books on introductory music theory. It's actually really fun - you'll pick it up quick and get to appreciate music in a whole new way.

*folds arms*

Well she did call out a boy from high school she had a crush on when she went back to her home town for never dating her. Basically called him an asshole even though the dude had no idea she ever liked him.

"Look at me now. Bet you feel dumb."

Ummm, no I'm pretty happy with my life even if I'm not dating a pop star who is holding on to imaginary grudges from ten years ago.

Full disclosure: I hate Katy Perry and don't find her very attractive, which seems to be something she hangs a lot of her career on.

Hey you can get all high and mighty, but there are professional music critics who agree with me whose opinion means more than some random dude on the internet. But whatever.

Melodies are math, dude. Very simple math. They're relationships between frequencies. Appeal to authority is pointless when you can just look at the numbers.

Katy Perry is a very attractive women. Your friend must live in the best neighborhood ever. Just filled with hot women.

Looks good sure but def not my type.

She's attractive for sure but if you saw her in a local coffee shop you wouldn't feel compelled to tell a friend about her.

"Oh man, I just saw a truly stunning looking woman...," Etc, etc.

Artificial? She's dolled up in make up but then so is every celebrity male or female. Pamela Anderson (flat chested, brunette, Canadian) was 'artificial' but I wouldn't say the same about Katy Perry.
