Katy Perry Is Woman, Hear Her Roar

In case you were wondering, Katy Perry is not gonna let a little something like getting dumped by Russell Brand from being her own and best woman.

So she will roar louder than a lion – ’cause she has the eye of the tiger...and she is a champion who dances through the fire, damn it – in “Roar,” the leaked-early first single off her upcoming third album Prism. Check it:

Very Kelly Clarkson-esque, huh. And yet, oh-so-Katy.

Liking it.

Nah...lovin’ it.

Update 1: Urgh...the song may be off SoundCloud now but, look, there’s little ol’ trusty Perez Hilton, saving the day once again.

Update 2: Ooh, kids – the Internets are all worked up – all worked up, I tell ya! – over the similarities between “Roar” and Sara Bareilles’ “Brave.”
