Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers' Lawsuit: Judge Denies Dismissal, What's Next?
Is Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" Facing a Legal Storm? A California federal court judge has ruled against Miley Cyrus's attempt to dismiss a copyright infringement lawsuit, casting a shadow of doubt over the originality of her chart-topping hit.
The legal battle swirling around Miley Cyrus and her global sensation "Flowers" has taken a significant turn. A federal court judge in California has denied Cyrus's motion to dismiss a copyright infringement lawsuit, effectively keeping the case alive and kicking. The lawsuit, filed by Tempo Music Investments, alleges that "Flowers" unlawfully replicates elements of Bruno Mars's 2013 hit "When I Was Your Man," a song in which the company claims to own a share of the copyright. This decision, handed down on Tuesday, March 18th, as reported by People magazine, means the legal proceedings will move forward, potentially putting the song's immense success under scrutiny.
The core of the dispute lies in the perceived similarities between the two songs. Tempo Music Investments argues that Cyrus's "Flowers" borrows key melodic and structural components from Mars's "When I Was Your Man." These claims suggest that the company believes "Flowers" is more than just a coincidence; it is "nearly identical" to the Bruno Mars hit, according to the owner of a share of Mars's song's copyright. The legal arguments hinge on whether these similarities constitute copyright infringement, and the court will now have to delve into the specifics of the music, exploring aspects such as melody, rhythm, and harmonic structure, to determine if a case of infringement can be established.
