Tonight (Jan. 26), the 2014 Grammy Awards saw some amazing wins (Lorde, Daft Punk) and performances (Beyonce and Jay Z, Macklemore), and celebs far and wide couldn't get enough.
The 2014 Grammy nominees for Best Pop Solo Performance come from a range of singers. Whether it's a former boy bander-turned-solo-success or a New Zealand newcomer, these artists represent the best pop music has to offer. Sara Bareilles, Lorde, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake are all contenders for the honor. Who do you think should win the Grammy?
Remember how Katy Perry and her songwriting and production teams pretty much just did a cover of Sara Bareilles' 'Brave' with goofier lyrics and called it 'Roar?' So does Sara Bareilles. While she was neutral on the songs' similarities before, she's speaking out about it now.
Sara Bareilles had a concert at the House of Blues in Orlando, Fla. on Sunday (Dec. 15) and to help her sing her inspirational hit 'Brave,' she invited 4-year-old cancer patient Joshua to duet with her.
Sara Bareilles' hit song 'Brave' caught fire in the media when critics compared Katy Perry's smash hit 'ROAR' to it (suggesting it was Perry who took liberties with Bareilles' already-established melody). Bareilles didn't care, since she and Perry are pals and her song, with its poignant message about coming out, got more attention due to the association.
Taylor Swift is memorializing her record-breaking run at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with a behind-the-scenes peek at her onstage duets. The '22' singer brought everyone from Ellie Goulding to Jennifer Lopez out to perform with her in a celebration of girl power, and they all dished on the experience.
Katy Perry's 'ROAR' leaked yesterday and almost immediately the California gurl was bombarded with allegations of plagiarizing Sara Barielles' 'Brave.' Is there any weight to the accusations?
Sara Bareilles has teamed up with actress Rashida Jones for the video for her new single 'Brave.' Only Jones doesn't star in the vid – she directed it!
