Beyoncé is constantly facing criticism for “borrowing ideas” from previous products

“Queen Bee” Beyoncé is constantly facing criticism for “constantly learning” from previous products.

On April 29, singer Kerli posted on Facebook a photo of her and Beyoncé wearing the same Amato Haute Couture dress. Beyoncé ‘s photo is taken from the book Mrs. Carter Show 2013 in the ongoing world tour of the “queen bee”. This dress also previously appeared in Nicki Minaj ‘s Va Va Voom MV . However, the problem is not only Furne One ‘s design , but the ideas of both female singers are quite similar from the white color tone to the way they pose like a statue.

Let’s go back in time to find out the “borrowing” cases that Beyoncé has encountered. The first “accident” to mention is that the choreography of the song Déjà Vu is said to be quite similar to the dances of Josephine Barker . Later, Beyoncé also wore a similar dress to Josephine Barker on stage to perform this song in 2006.

Next, Beyoncé also “borrowed” the idea from Bob Fosse ‘s Mexican Breakfast dance for the famous song Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) .

The audience also discovered some similar scenes between the Rich Man’s Frug excerpt from Bob Fosse ‘s Sweet Charity and Beyoncé ‘s Get Me Bodied MV .

There is a difference between “taking inspiration” and “imitating”. MV Countdown is a typical example when Beyoncé used both of these elements in one product. She “referenced” the looks and moves of Audrey Hepburn , the fashion style of the 50s and 60s of Peggy Moffitt and Audrey Hepburn . Beyoncé also used a sample of Boyz II Men ‘s hit Uhh Ahh , and also dance moves from Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker in Rosas Danst Rosas .

Before releasing the Countdown MV , Beyoncé was also criticized because her performance Run The World (Girls) at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards was quite similar to a previous performance by Italian singer Lorella Cuccarini . After that, the “queen bee” spoke up that she and Lorella Cuccarini worked with the same dancer, so unfortunately there were duplicate ideas.

Beyoncé really impresses with her extremely skilled voice and technique. The performances of the “queen bee” strongly inspire fans. However, in terms of “look”, it seems like she is having problems surrounding creativity. Hopefully, with the upcoming album, Beyoncé will dispel all public doubts and bring memorable products with a personal touch.
