bet there’s no post on this site that mentions LADY GAGA’s MULTIPLE (if not CONSTANT) ARTISTIC PLAGIARISMS…wouldn’t even be enough space on your servers for that. when gaga lifts an idea, she doesn’t tell anyone, we end up figuring it out for ourselves.

yes, beyonce lifted the original concept, of course with permission, but she completely re-imaginized and recreated it–she made it better. thats what artists do.

You should be ashamed of your unabashed remarks; calling her “guilty” and aboriginal. But I understand, you probably wrote this article in the manner of provocative journalism…tryna get ur views up eh?

“It is easy to point a finger at Beyonce and call her a copycat. She sought out the same artist and production company that created Lorella Cuccarini’s performance to help her create a show where she interacted with graphic designs and objects placed on a large video projection screen. Both performers used the artist Kenzo Digital and the Tribe Inc. Design production company to develop the images and technical work in the shows.

Instead of calling Beyonce a copycat, viewers should praise her dedication to pushing the envelope of entertainment. Because of her show, other entertainers will start to integrate technology into their new shows, videos, and other presentations in new and innovative ways. The entertainment industry will advance because Beyonce explored her inspiration and was willing to work hard to make it a reality.”-entertainment.gather.com

YEAH, SOME PEOPLE CITE THEIR SOURCES. lol this convo is dead.

hey “oh come on,”
thanks for taking the time to respond to the article, I believe that dialogue is great. Your views are appreciated and I agree that there are a lot of artists who’s ideas are, how should I put it, inspired by other less known sources; that’s not my beef, in fact, I don’t have one. This is social and pop culture commentary that I’m dropping in this particular article. Beyoncé is a great performer and as I said before, she killed it but she’s also known to publicly take credit for ideas that are not hers and that was the point of my satirical final sentence. I love your passion! Thanks again for reading!

Well said, Andre923!!

I Am glad somebody finally said it beyonce copies everything,nothing she does is original rihanna did the drum thing beyonce had to do it too she copies every and anything because she seriously thinks people dont take notice .Beyonce is the biggest copycat in the industry she copies every and anything ,she is swagger jacking and she fake,people are stupid so they fall for anything .Shame on u mitchell obama ,i am sure sasha and malia dont look up to dumdass beyonce as their role model

Its partially beyonce’s mistake for hiring the same team who was responsible for lorella’s video. The team replicated the same technique with the same kind of graphics and that failed her. It’s ok for beyonce to be “inspired” from that concept and use it for her performance, but she should have come come with different graphics and concept by using the people who worked on lorella’s performance. It’s no use being inspired by a concept and not using it in her own way and make it better than lorella’s. Even though she worked hard on it, she pretty much would have been better off without the power point presentation.

Michael Jackson did not invent the Moonwalk, but tell me who’s ever done it better! Beyonce’s performance enhanced and refined this type of art. It was incredible. That being said I can agree with critics that sometimes the media overhypes and saturates us with way too much Beyonce. Just turn the channel and listen to some great Jazz or whatever else you might like.

Beyonce did it way better . And Be gets copied all the time who cares when artist do good things other ppl wanna try and see if it worked for them . u guys have nothing better to do then rag on Be .
