Despite the efforts of the legal team of Miley Cyrus for stopping the lawsuit, the plagiarism of ‘flowers’ is still standing. Last November the American singer asked that the demand of Tempo Music Investments be dismissed, and not Bruno Mars, for the supposed copy of some sections of the song ‘When I was your man’. Finally, the judge has denied the petition.
The original demand was filed in mid -September, ensuring that ‘flowers’ contained an “unauthorized exploitation of several elements” of the Bruno Mars song, published in 2012. The legal document justified the accusation of plagiar chorus ».
With the aim of dismissing the lawsuit, the legal team of the author of ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ alleged that Tempo “took the rights of ‘when i was your man’ without any consent by the other composers of the subject.” However, the judge has described that interpretation as “incorrect.”
‘Flowers’ is responsible for the first two Grammy of Cyrus’s career, and it is the greatest success of his discography, exceeding 2,470 million views only in Spotify, so he would have to pay a great amount of money in case of losing the case.
