Hear me roar vs hear me roaring

I give a sentence below from "Katy Perry-Roar''

"You're gonna hear me roar"

Now my question is that why is the 'infinitive (hear)' used here after 'gonna', not 'participle' like 'you're gonna me roaring'?

Both of these are grammatical.

You're going to hear me roar.
You're going to hear me roaring.

hear me roar sounds like it could be about hearing a single roar.
hear me roaring sounds like it could be about hearing many roars over a period of time.
