How did we calculate who made the bracket and what seed each person got? A list was made of popular artists and groups. Before looking who was going to compete against who we decided to go based on alphabetical order by first "name". This way we can make it fair for artists with a one word name (Sia and Prince) and can easily mix groups in. Also we are looking at stage names and not the artist's birth name (Lady Gaga instead of Stefani Germanotta).
After the first round some big names are already gone including Eminem and Jay-Z on the male side and Adele and Mariah Carey on the female side. Make sure you vote in round two so your pick does not get left behind!
DA- Attention Katy Perry fans! Two days before “Roar” (her first single from her upcoming album “Prism”) was supposed to premiere the song has leaked early thanks to a possible “mistake” on the Internet.
However, many people could argue they heard “Roar” way before today. No, not from stealing Doc Brown’s time machine and traveling ahead in time but from already hearing Sara Bareilles’ lead single “Brave” which premiered back on April 23rd. Listen below and judge for yourself.
In a case similar to the “Born This Way”/”Express Yourself” controversy of 2011, these songs sound pretty identical. Now perhaps Katy Perry made an honest mistake and somehow never heard of Bareilles’ song. I mean she must have been pretty busy working on said album during the song’s rise to #11 on Billboard’s chart of adult pop songs and #61 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Oh wait…
Yeah. This isn’t good. Maybe Perry is simply “sampling” Bareilles and has her and everyone who worked on “Brave” on board. While no comment has been made yet it will be interesting to see how Team Perry plays this one out. Stay tuned.
