I think the thing with Beyonc? is she almost always takes an unknown a artist's work, and she won't say a thing about it being inspired by someone else. So when it come out, it looks like she was passing it off as her own unique concept.
Chris Brown talks about being inspired by MJ in almost every interview. He gives a lot of credit to MJ for inspiring him. Lady Gaga gives credit to Madonna. Beyonc? usually doesn't do that.
And this Asian girl assaulting the car is not the best example. We've all seen Beyonc? take entire dance routines and entire performance scenes and concepts from lesser known acts.
proof? She took routines off YouTube for Run the World, but she flew the YouTube choreographers out to be in her video.
I 'm talking about the Single Ladies routine. And the time she did that performance with a screen with a hundred Beyonce's dancing with her. Scene by scene taken from a lesser known act. And I'm sure there were many other other times as well.
Madonna recreated iconic moments in pop culture history when she was "channeling" Marilyn Monroe. Everyone knew she was recreating Marilyn Monroe because they were very well known photos and movies she got them from. No pretending. It's kind of a way to honor her.
Beyonc? takes things not very many people have ever seen. People are amazed and give her all the credit. Yet it had been done before line by line by someone else. They just weren't well known.
