Subject: Beyonce steals again!!! (Proof Inside)Hi Sandra,
I’ll start off by admitting that I am a fan of Beyonce’s work. But as of lately, I’ve noticed that her originality is gradually fading.. Her performance at the American Music Awards most recently caught my attention. Through out her “Single Ladies” performance, I couldn’t help but notice that her dramatic dances, movements and animated facial expressions were easily influenced by performers in the gay ball room scene. But at the end of the performance, Beyonce blatantly ripped off the trademark “ponytail grip” that legendary ballroom performer Leyomi Mizrahi is known for. Beyonce actually channeled many different Leyomi elements during her performance. If you take a look at the YouTube clips below, you’ll clearly see what I’m talking about.

P.S. I’m not a hater. I love Beyonce. I just wish that she would be more original nowadays.
