They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — except when Beyonce brazenly steals from others.
When Beyonce’s career is over in a couple of years, the untalented singer will only be remembered for ripping off the creative works of others. Billboard magazine, which usually writes puff pieces in servile deference to Beyonce, wrote a particularly scathing op-ed piece about Beyonce’s shameless thievery today.
“Any artist, including Beyoncé, can wear whatever another artist wore, but that multiplicity gets suspicious and easily pegged as stealing,” Billboard writes.
After listing Beyonce’s more notorious creative thefts over the years, the music magazine concludes:
But more bothersome than Bey’s inspiration-turned-imitation act – and less subtle as her career progresses – is that she’s playing off the risks that other artists have been brave enough to take (and appropriately praised for) instead of challenging herself and taken some herself.
Perhaps visual and dance concepts don’t come as naturally to her as vocal prowess, but I’m doubtful that she can recruit those for which it does. Even as a vocal performer, Beyonce is more of a canvas than a creator.
Ouch!
Thanks to loyal reader Jennett for the tip.

Wow
and who is that in the other pic
Icki?
Well it’s no secret that B is not the most original lady on the planet. On the plus side, the other photo is getting more exposure than it probably had in the past.
Oh…
Didn’t they create an award for her a few years back?
Fickle media, I tell you what.
Most people realize that she’s a fake and depends on others for creativity. Remember the Single Ladies video/dance..?! It was a rip off too.
But aren’t most photo shoots directed by a phtogropher, not the actual artist? So wouldn’t that mean that…you know what, nevermind.
Hey y’all
Who is that in the other photo
@69 Exactly! That was just what? 2 years ago?

@ first glance, I thought she was Madonna. I like the Gaga one better.
Where have I seen these white faces before
wasn’t this look in a movie, not with the dress, but the painted white faces 
Mrs. Beyonce Carter World Tour requires the maintenance of just a few small details:
-$900 for titanium straws, which will be used to drink a special alkaline water that’s served at exactly 21 degrees
-a “hand-carved ice-ball” must reportedly be available post-show for Beyonce to use as a soothing lollipop for her vocal cords.
-The entire crew is also mandated to wear 100% cotton, which would presumably protect Bey from allergens.
-There is to be no junk food on tour — only almonds, oatcakes and green vegetables.
-The singer’s little girls’ room must be outfitted with a new toilet seat (can you blame her?)
-And perhaps best of all, Mrs. Carter reportedly requires red toilet paper. Because, duh. Every part of Beyonce deserves the red-carpet treatment.
welp, i feel like skrippin!

I could be wrong though 
@ Jenie…
@ Starger(?) I just hated the scenes with his daddy abusing him but, that scene when she went in his throne room was beautiful. All that purple on the wall and although that movie was twisted, the costumes and makeup were gorgeous.
Dimpz

off for the last month or two. phuck these putas!
<—really a bird
Aunt Sandy, I thought you were going to post the story of Beyonce embarrassing Princess Eugenie at her show…but I guess this story was more of your Bey-hating liking ROFL!
That is not Gaga for one…it’s some chick I never heard of…but because of this photo many will be exposed to her

@ Bombshell. How you and the lil ones today?
———————————-
They started the day off bad as usual but they’re behaving now… they enjoyed the smoked salmon we had for lunch
Her name is Kerli…they say she is a pop singer.
@Bomb Can I have a piece of your steak
These salads with balsalmic vinaigrette is the devil
@ Jenie…When I found out Stephen King got his book treatments from his dreams, I wondered how he sleeps at night.
@ Muncho..thank you for clearing that up. I still think the unknown’s pic is more artist.
That Kerli chick is cute.
I see they do all kinds of looks on her.

The bittersweet side of Beyonce stealing imitable art is that when she does, she does it well. Perhaps it’s why we give the diva a pass, or two, and will in the future. Let’s also not forget that voice of hers and stage stamina that hypnotizes many into disregarding such acts — after all, words and imagery can only strike a chord or transcend to a degree if they’re executed with astounding talent. From the same articoe
Funny in the movie Dream Girls Beyonce’s character made sure to give big girl her credit but in real life she just roll with it like she thought it up.

I Dont Like Her. #Fact
Honey I am so over BE-YAWN-SAY
BOMBSHELL ESQ::
Those BABIES sure are KEE-YOOT
Beyonce and her camp musta realized that “Bow Dow Bi#ches” song was complete and utter trash and devastation cause I aint heard it on the radio or online in a while.
LMFAO LOL
I keep thinking that Bey simply does the artist thing but, tries to promote her legacy as being more …ie a writer, producer, creative thinker for her photo shoots.
In reality, I think she does what she is told and then tries to back track and take the creative credit for whatever it is. Many artists do it but, she gets caught on it more. She then ends up having to make up some story of inspiration after the cat is out of the bag. She probably knew nothing about the other pic above but, someone on her creative team did and straight jacked it.
Why was I embarassed reading that op-ed?
…and the BeyLonde backlash is in full-swing. I love it!
She kicked the media out of her world wide talent show and they are coming to snatch her haystack…err, wig!
typos in mainstream media really sadden me
She ought to stop stealing ish from folks. All that money and she can’t hire someone to come up with some original stuff? She has so many fans they will do whatever she does, it don’t even have to be good or make sense. LOL.
Its classic beyonce….steal from lesser known artist….push it like its your own.
You know its over when white folks start coming for you.
LOL @ da Bey Hive coming for da reporter on twitter telling her to go bathe in AIDS blood lol
Beyonce thinks she can get away with anything … her stans go crazy thinkin she is the groundbreaking artist when she can’t even come up with a concept without rippin if off … and yes she never gives credit until she is called out on it … and when she is called out she blames others lol
Kerli .. pop dance singer from Estonia, she’s had a few hits on da club charts
