Katy Perry’s album cover – not that original after all

The internets is ablaze after Miss Perry revealed the picture above. This is Katy Perry’s new album cover for “Teenage Dream” out in August. The cover is made by artist Will Cotton, and he has actually done this whole “nekkid lady in cotton candy” before - here’s one of his artworks from 2006 titled “Candy Sky”.
So does this prove that Katy Perry can’t come up with original ideas of her own? Or should we applaud her for bringing art into pop culture? I’m torn on this one.
