I agree, being original or trying new directions don't always equal to having personality or making something that suits you. Doing an example, that's my issue with Rihanna: her songs are mostly very nice, with some real masterpieces here and there, but for me they don't reflect her as a person, no matter how good or ispired or new they are.
That said, Gaga did a very nice job with Born This Way album, she really tried something new and coherent, but Applause is safe (especially the chorus), just like Roar is. I already said both songs for me are not great, and pretty much at the same level, but I feel Katy did a better job with a song that suits her image perfectly, Gaga instead has not been up to all the hype she created around this song.
Anyway, I don't like Roar more because of all that, but because it's simply more to my taste.
