Can you settle a disagreement?

My friend thinks this new artist is just a rip off of Sara Barielles. I disagree, completely. First of all, she doesn't even sound like her and her style is different. Ugh please tell her she's wrong....

Her name is Erin McCarley:

Different, right?

She sounds abit like Sara Barielles but Sara Barielles does more upbeat songs if you get what i mean. It's kinda hard to notice a big difference. But maybe if she becomes big and produces more songs, you'll proberly be able to notice more of a difference :).
