Is the China Winter Olympics song too much like Frozen or should we just 'Let It Go'?

"The Snow and Ice Dance" was one of 10 official tracks to help the Chinese capital win its bid to host the 2022 games last week, but the organising committee has now come under fire for allegedly plagiarising the hit animated movie's Oscar-winning song, "Let It Go".

The ballads are almost identical in length, tempo, melody and instrumental arrangement, with YouTube users posting mash-up videos of the two to highlight the similarities.

Both songs have the whole gentle but oh-so-empowering piano thing going on, which was first pointed out in an article by magazine Caijing that now seems to have been taken down.
