Not again! This is happening too often. She can't cry that she didn't know and blame it on her staff because it's happened so often she should stipulate that her staff tell her and show her where the references are coming from.

For that dancer to call her out as a theif says it all and with no filter! Why can't she and her team come up with their own concepts or if they are going to be 'inspired' give people the credit for their work!

I can't respect her for doing this and it's happend to many times. Stilld on't like the video- too much going on.

Oh so the Love on Top video is a New Edition tribute? Didn't even think of that. Makes sense though because there are obvious 80's and 90's influences in the songs on 4 and she payed homage in Countdown already.

Now I can't wait to see Schooling Life if there's a video for that.

"Tribute"???

...sure. We'll go with that

Well *I* am willing to cut her some slack for this video....just this once.

Maybe if it is indeed a tribute video she'll just come out and say so. Nothing wrong with paying homage to your influences. They would be flattered.

beyonce is always paying tribute. She needs to be original.

They just totally called out Beyonce on Good Morning America news for plagirizing in her videos for Countdown, Single Ladies and the Run The World performance at the Billboard awards. They left out the 1 + 1 video and I don't know what else right about now

Aye ya ya #Notfancy Bey.

Really what would make her think that you could blatantly take some one else's idea and not credit that said person.....because that seems to be the problem. It seems that when she's called out only then does she release a statement admitting that she was indeed inspired by whoever.

She and her handlers need to try and come up with original ideas from now on like for real.

Beyonce's new clip for "Love on Top"

SideNote: Chris Grant is one of the background dancers

That is such a Michael Jackson song...and why is this reminding me of:

That is exactly what that video reminded me of. I am not surprised too, she is so unoriginal and extremely overrated!

OMG I love it! The steps are SO Jackson 5/MJ and you already know what I think of the song. I see the New Edition influence too.

ALTERNATIVE MUSIC VIDEO: Beyoncé - Countdown

Lol! This is like a damn game now! "Guess where Beyonce got her influence/stole from"

..and everybody wins!

Must this trick release a video every week? It doesn't matter, she' still FLOPlicious right now.

Edit: Her CD should be renamed 4LOP.
