Beyoncé is facing a storm of criticism following her performance of “Run The World (Girls)” at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. The singer who has based her career on stealing and copying other people’s work has come under fire for ripping off the work of Italian pop star Lorella Cuccarini.
Bey’s performance involved standing in front of a huge white screen while interacting with giant images projected onto it. But her act was strikingly similar to Cuccarini’s performance last year during which she incorporated the same images and gestures in front of a huge white screen.
Bey’s unspectacular performance caused online social network Twitter.com to explode with tweets raving about her “revolutionary” show. Some Twitter users tweeted they had never seen anything like it before.
But many viewers watching at home were not impressed with Beyoncé’s act — they had seen it all before.
That’s because the same production company that designed the graphics for Cuccarini also designed Beyoncé’s show. Unfortunately, they didn’t bother to come up with any new concepts for Bey.
Media artist and film director Kenzo Digital designed the graphics for the performance and admitted Beyoncé and co. were inspired by Cuccarini, but charges the concept has been around since the ’80s. “[The Cuccarini artists] are awesome and do incredible work as well, but there are a lot of different inspirations for where our piece came from,” Kenzo explained to The Amp.

After Beyoncé’s Billboard Awards performance my Inbox was flooded with emails accusing Bey of being a talentless copycat. One reader named Shalon wrote: “You be sooo right about Beyoncé. And I swear people think she is the best thing sense slice bread. I must admit you know your stuff!”
Celebrities in the audience were quick to congratulate Beyoncé on Twitter.
“BEYONCE go awwf! Wow!!! All I can say! BEYONCE a True Entertainer!! U Deserve the Success! Such a Hard Worker!”
And singer Rihanna, who will host the grand opening party for the new Vision nightclub in Atlanta next month, tweeted: “Congrats to Beyonce on a #MAJAH award and tribute.”
It’s sad how the black community continues to be preoccupied with celebrating mediocrity. We have to do better!
She’s a klepto

This is true but hell ain’t no difference between Beyonce and Lady Gaga, Kei$s and Nikki Ninja… sorry as people are simply sorry…
Maybe you can mix it up for us.. instead of the usual Ciara farted and nobody smelled it post or Beyonce ran around in a circle and got lost post maybe you shold dig deep… you know if you lead us ur humble followers will follow… if you build it… they will come.
I am still listening to Earth, Wind & Fire, Lionel Richie… I am pretty sure the folks in ur blog today won’t be on the radio in 20 years.. nobody is going to sample Run this word or Promise or Roger That… nobody.

Morning!
I won’t comment on this post cause the STANS or the “Bee-Hive” will attack at full force. I’m deathly allergic to bees….let me find my epi-pen
You can’t have an opinion on Beyonce without being labeled a
She’s a one-trick pony as far as i’m concerned….
I just watched Takers… (I couldn’t put money on Cliffs books but I did my part and watched it on Netflix… I was so bored watching that movie… T.I. and Terrence Howard are a rock throw apart when it comes to being one dimensional actors… I mean I couldn’t tell if I was watching “Paper Trail” or “Takers”…
Just like Beyonce in that movie she did w/ Edris Elbow… I kept saying stfu Deena…
Yes Fayla I made it! Thank God

____________
GREAT PERFORMANCE REGARDLESS OF THE CONCEPT BEING THE SAME
I HAD NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE LIKE MANY OTHERS AND MANY OF US WERE-ASTOUNDED BY HER “PERFORMANCE”
“Media artist and film director Kenzo Digital designed the graphics for the performance”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SO HE, THE DESIGNER, DESIGNED THE SAME SHOW, IT’S HIS CREATION & IT BELONGS TO HIM. BEYONCE AND ANY OTHER ARTIST/VENUE WHO EMPLOY HIS SERVICES ARE MORE THAN LIKELY HIRING HIM TO DO DESIGN THE SAME/OR SIMILAR GRAPHICS THEY’VE SEEN HIM DO
I’M JUST SAYING, SO BECAUSE HIS WORKED WAS PERFORMED/DISPLAYED AT THIS OTHER VENUE, DOES THAT MEAN IT CAN NEVER BE DONE AGAIN??? JUST ASKING?!?!
AND I WONDER IF ANY OTHER ARTIST WHO PERFORMS AT AWARD SHOWS, DO ANY OF THEIR PERFORMANCES RESEMBLE ONE ANOTHER OR NOT INSPIRED BY SOME ART FORM/ENTERTAINMENT THEY HAVEN’T BEEN EXPOSED TO
ANY WHO, GREAT PERFORMANCE, I KNOW THE GRAPHICS WERE DONE THE SAME SOMEWHERE ELSE BEFORE BEYONCE DID, AND I DON’T CARE IT DOESN’T KNOCK HER PERFORMANCE
SHE STILL DID THE DAMN THING OR WAS THAT ONE OF THEIR MODELS UP THERE PERFORMING HER SONG AND MOVES-LOL

I am ready for Takers II the prelude just to see my other boo Idris 
I hope all our SR fam in TX/OK survived the storms
@eb
STOP IT I SAY!!
Daisy you can relax! I’m the most important one here and I survived! LOL
#humble
Good Morning!!!!!!
I agree with EB, Daisy, Renegade and DAWN
I think she is good performer but not innovative or original.
@Daisy I agree this will be an Epic post people will explain away her jack moves
Da*mn Bey is my bish and those images do look strikling similar lol
it’s the queen I’m sure this will be brushed under the rug like the rest of the chit she does… #whogiveafuck
Well regardless she still did a good job…but is anyone really surprised at her copying concepts and ideas? She’s been doing this well since day one…that’s her modus operandi.
Ungrateful @ chit
Shocker! Lol, well ideas tends to evolve from one artists to the next. So it’s no surprise one will infulence the other. Btw, how come nobody called out lady gaga when she rips off Madonna?
@Brown glad you are ok.
I am not surprise the Yaki stole someone’s idea.. She admitted in the MTV documentary that she steals ideas from Broadway shows and other artist performance.
The word HATER will be typed in 5,4,3,2,1 ________________
Not a stan but it seems like the production company’s lack of originality is to blame here. Still not going to jump into this battle though so I’ll just sit back and quietly munch on my
I just don’t get why this is such a big deal.
“That’s because the same production company that designed the graphics for Cuccarini also designed Beyoncé’s show.”
If she used the SAME production company of course the shows will be similar.
Who cares? I still liked the performance.
SO I guess because one pereson has don it no one else IN THE WORLD can ever do it EVER again. But then again people always have to find something to pick at.
If you don’t like Beyonce Sanra why do you continue to post on her everyday? I just fail to understand the logic behind this concept. Like the Oprah post yesterday. Out of all the good performances that she had on her final shows you chose to post the performance of the person you hate?
Yeah that makes sooooooooooooooo much sense…

@LL thank GOODNESS u are okay my homie said when the hurricane hit she thought the RAPTURE was right on schedule God Bless the victims and their families ……
Bey’s never been what I call an “artist”. Yes, she works hard and can hold a good note, but she’s not creative at all to me. Even when she was writing her own lyrics they were elementary sounding. She’s made it so far because she has a strong work ethic, she’s beautiful , and she had Joe Jackson Jr. managing her career for many years…a perfect trifecta in this industry…
I am sorry was it a hurricane or tornado??

Hey Brown! Glad to see you are ok…..
Cute picture Snooty!
Regarding the topic, I’ll pass….
Sandra, apparently you haven’t see the YouTube video where she jacked…I mean “borrowed” the entire first dance moves in her video from the Tofo Tofo dancers, damn near step by step. Nothing about this entire song or video was original. Inspiration to me is taking a little here and there and mixing your own flavor with it. When it’s doing the same thing or at 90% of the same thing, that’s just straight copying.
Snoots can you please remove that gravi and not subject her angelic face to the corrupt world that is Sandra Rose!
Both Lorella and Beyonce got those ideas from Michael Jackson.

Yeah like you continue to be preoccupied with T.I., Tiny, Ciara, the list goes on…………
Look @whowhatme Bey did her performance and murdered it. The performances that she allegedly stole ideas from; No one has EVER heard of. Bey runs the world and killed that stage and I bet you even if SR watched it LIVE as much as she hates/dislikes Bey SR would have gave her a standing ovation in her living room (In secret though). If Bey is a copy cat O well, she made it her OWN and now everybody is talking about it.
Bey runs the world!
@brown
now u know I have to worry about everybody else in the SR fam
SN I LOVE when Juicy and Eboni sing on Rickey
I wish I cared about the subject, ppl been biting off folks since
Morning ppl!
And we are surprised WHY? Google the words “Single Ladies Fosse”…the routine was orginally called Mexican Breakfast I think…it is one of her many borrowing episodes.
Sure it may not be directly just HER doing the “borrowing” as I am sure she has a team. However, her team needs to stop acting like folks don’t have narry a memory cell and done seen stuff before.
Good morning
@Luscious LoLo, I’m glad to hear you’re okay.
“Beyoncé has such an incredible work ethic and vision, and you really couldn’t ask for a better collaborator in terms of the performing side of things as well. She killed it,” Digital says. “When I saw that thing come out live, I was absolutely and completely blown away. As many times as she had rehearsed, as many times as she mocked it up just in the video room to get a reference of where we’re at with the animation, to see that come together with her and her 100 percent energy and all the pyro effects, it was insane.”
Perhaps most impressive, Beyoncé did the entire performance without the help of a reference screen, like the ones a weatherman uses to pinpoint where it’s raining. “She is an absolute monster, she nailed all of her walks — she just knows it,” Kenzo says. “Her muscle memory, her performance, she doesn’t need guides. She just needs to practice it a couple times and it’s done. There was no visual guide. Her eye line was straight into the crowd, engaging the crowd. That’s just her amazing abilities as a performer.”
This is why she is respected by the industry. It doesn’t matter what Beyonce does she will always be picked to pieces. She’s an entertainer, she entertains me, job done. When people stop looking at her for more than that maybe they will realise that she is a human just like the rest of us. Oh yeah, Sandra, the more you post on her the more relevant she stays. Since the BB AWARDS she has been discussed daily #imjustsaying
Oh when will the thievery end
If this was a special moment in my career I would want my performance to be my own, not some leftover scraps from another artist’s project. But that’s how she’s survived this long so why are surprised.

#ineededtovent
I like Beyonce and some of her music. I thought the performance was better than the video, but she’s always claiming writing rights, creativity, and innovation, but everything she does has been done by someone else. And might I add she gets a lot of her ideas from random people on Youtube.
MEERKAT WHAT I TELL YOU YESTERDAY!
Thanks Quetta

You make a great point, but to put things in perspective I think people expect more out of her BECAUSE of her ability to do these things with such little effort and direction. Yes, she nails performances and entertains, but if she’s doing it to other folks creativity it makes it slightly less prolific.
CHEAP ASS 103.5!!!!
Just like many didn’t know about Fosse until she did Single Ladies, many knew nothing about Kenzo or Tofu Tofu, but because of Beyonce they all have been opened up to a wider audience. Kenzo’ s phone is rining off the hook now because of Beyonce’s performance!
Kenzo hopes the “Girls” performance lives on as a centerpiece for Beyoncé’s inevitable tour in support of 4. “It would be awesome if it would be,” he says, “but I don’t know what’s in store exactly.” Digital’s phone has been ringing constantly since Beyoncé’s world-stopping performance — “I literally have 50 new messages on my answering machine and so many emails” — so expect some more revolutionary performances in the near-future.
Im sure that if you did a poll, there are more ppl on this blog that dont care for Beyonce.
But how does this change the fact that she did a good job. Im confused. Either you liked, or you didn’t.
Knowing that she used 2 or 3 of the same graphics shouldn’t change your opinion. And after watching both performances, they were nothing a like.
The fact is that this kinda ish has been around since the 80’s, and before Beyonce used it, most ppl had never seen it before.
SUCK ASS 103.5
Good Morning
Beyonce killed that performance,, everyone is inspired by someone,, but she gets labeled the copycat,, usher/Michael,,, Puffy/everyone,,, Mary/ all the old singers,, Ciaria/Alaiyah & the list goes on
On another note, I will be glad when tornado season is over living in the Midwest is scary right now
I like Bey as well but she should give credit where credit is due when she borrow ideas from others!!! Don’t pretend to be original or innovative when you use google to navigate you to youtube!!! Obviously the people she is stealing from are amazing so give them credit so they can shine as well….
@Luscious, I promise I’m taking your advice. This is just an appearance I’m making til those medz kick in.
hm. well, i liked her rendition of the stanky leg.

I am happy that where I live in Texas is ok I havent watched the news to see if others out here were affected. I pray that everyone is ok….
Sitting back, watching this post unfold.
Quick questions in which press release, statement or interview did Beyonce say she came up with the concept? If she hired Kenzo Digital, which I’m quite she paid for their services, how did she steal anything? Only Beyonce!
@Fe Fe Yeah point taken but as the saying goes “there’s nothing new under the sun”. No matter what you do someone somewhere has done it before.
I just want to know who are these people who have the time effort and money to research every little thing she does just so they can find something or someone to compare it to.
Is it really that serious? She’s Beyonce, not God. I just don’t understand why people are so preoccupied with this woman, and it’s mainly the people who “claim” they can’t stand her. All that time and energy could be put to better use.

I must admit, every time we think Bey does something good, someone comes and says that she has “stole” it or was a “copy cat”. I’m not a Bey “Stan” but I do love me some of her…no words

I jam to the songs/performances I like and talk abt the others like I do w/every other singer/artist. Nobody is above being talked about. A lot of Bey stans drag every other artist but want to be so offended/outdone when folks talks about Bey. I don’t even go IN on anybody just give my .02 on a performance/look/song etc.

HELLLOOOOOO MCFLY!
This ish is getting stupid and tired. Nothing is original now a days why are they always trying to pick this girl apart. So if she stole it from this chick did this artist steal it from Janet since that’s who it was stated Bey stole from first.
Yes it was similar but BEY MADE IT HER OWN AND DID A BETTER JOB!!!!
I
Michael Jackson but he wasn’t the originator of the Moonwalk but he took that ish and made it his own. He also got a lot of his moves from James Brown and Fred Astire (sp) does that take away from his GREATNESS.. No!
Gesh get off Bey’s back. I don’t see people up in arms bc Rhianna and Britney were rocking leotards on stage knowing Bey made that her signature outfit.
Good morning Everyone!!!
To this Beyonce Post…
Hey Luscious!!! Glad God protected you during the storm my girl!!!
Wow people just can’t leave her alone – WTF is the big deal all artist are inspired by one another #MOVE ON
Why is this news? Everything…everyone…uses inspirations from others. Nothing is original nowadays. All of the GREATS have done performances that take from things they have seen in the past. Who gives a flying rats a*s.

@Candi i phuks wit dem Port Arthur boyz
As far as her being inspired by other artists that’s all good. I thought this article specifically pointed out the identical similarities between her show and this other woman’s show. Sure, the animated screen doesn’t have to be exclusive to one person, but couldn’t her actual performance have displayed different animations and ideas? I think THAT’S what people keep noticing about Bey. Yes, MJ made the Moonwalk his own after someone taught it to him, but that’s just what the fck he did…he made it his OWN. Bey’s performance was awesome, I’ll give her that, but it would have been nice to see a different concept separate from the Cuccarini show.
I do agree that people need to let this stuff go though…she’s not that important to consistently follow and pick apart IMHO…
Thanks Choco

Yall will be fine but taking precaution is always a good idea….
Hey Honey
“You be sooo right about Beyoncé. And I swear people think she is the best thing sense slice bread. I must admit you know your stuff!”
SURELY this reader has other things to be concerned with…namely reading, comprehension, “this word, not that one”…
@ Ohoney whats up?
@ Candi yea they are old brown cigs that are longs as a #2 pencil I dont know if they take those in jail itsthethoughtthatcounts
*jumbles all of Honey’s “invoices” up and scatters them to and fro*
Twin, let’s hear it yo?! Where was your mind b?
S/S? Al?
my bad Double L still learning the rules LOL
@yallcrazy well since its east coast slang day. Yo, Son since we going in and thangs, thme jawns about dem tornado’s was beasting nahamen had me straight on that blast kid I was poppin off big tyme
Hey Sexy Ladies and Handsome Gents, its hump day so let’s get, get, get it!
On topic: This what I don’t get about Beyonce fans, Rihanna fans, or any fans of these artists for that matter- why can’t someone critique their work. Everyday I go to class my professor critique the shit out of my papers- granted classmates or the people at the writing center might have thought I did a wonderful job, but my professors don’t give a damn. Everyone has an opinion so if you like it you like and if you don’t, you don’t- no need to label someone as a hater. Jesus is the greatest that ever did it and they talked about him :/
whats good Choco
@twin
young ion eem remember

I was just beasting over there in that other post, yameen son,
Twin, yo did that!
Aiight, keep it coming Knowledge YO!
yea its a mixture of north and south more of less the south b/c been in nc 2 long
not suprised at all…….
So What! She has done no more then any one else. People who hate like this will suffer a terrible death.
lol so if the smae dude/production company did both shows then why ya’ll mad? lol some of ya’ll act like it was ya’ll idea and ya’ll didn’t get paid for it! People it is 2011 and i have seen people do just about everything and I am only 32! Also for the person making claims that only Beyonce steals GTFOH!!! because its not stealing when you pay the person and also if a person give you something then years later want you to pay for it when they see you made money off it is a opportunist!
and another thing, I wore jeans today so i just i just copied off about 50 billion people! OMG…… and they are dark too!
Beyonce is and will be a great performer for many years all this hate is ridiculous I’m not a stan I just know when you see Bey perform live in concert you want be disappointed Sandra Rose get real.
Mamacita says:
I just don’t get why this is such a big deal.
“That’s because the same production company that designed the graphics for Cuccarini also designed Beyoncé’s show.”
If she used the SAME production company of course the shows will be similar. Who cares? I still liked the performance.
SO I guess because one pereson has don it no one else IN THE WORLD can ever do it EVER again. But then again people always have to find something to pick at.
If you don’t like Beyonce Sanra why do you continue to post on her everyday? I just fail to understand the logic behind this concept. Like the Oprah post yesterday. Out of all the good performances that she had on her final shows you chose to post the performance of the person you hate?
Yeah that makes sooooooooooooooo much sense…

Mamacita says:
I just want to know who are these people who have the time effort and money to research every little thing she does just so they can find something or someone to compare it to.
Is it really that serious? She’s Beyonce, not God. I just don’t understand why people are so preoccupied with this woman, and it’s mainly the people who “claim” they can’t stand her. All that time and energy could be put to better use.

Mamacita says:
“It’s sad how the black community continues to be preoccupied with celebrating mediocrity. We have to do better!”
Yeah like you continue to be preoccupied with T.I., Tiny, Ciara, the list goes on…………
—————————–
BTW should Ciara pay Keanu Reeves for stealing his “MATRIX” moves in all her video??? just asking…
