  • This is an old technique anyway. No one "owns" it. Heck, before either of these women were born. Think 1960's graphics. Again popular in the 70s

  • I do think Beyonces performance was better, but that is because Beyonce is a dancer, the other girl I don't think was a dancer, so it just didn't look as cool. Plus Beyonce is more famous, with a bigger budget, so her's is going to look better.

  • Beyonce was ovbiously better. but still, the fact that her best performance so far is a lil too insipired in other one, is quite dissapointed.

  • you think she would just do the performance and say nothing? no. beyonce said she was inspired by the performance lorella did and met with people who worked on it. she also said how she never worked so hard in her life on it. and now you guys are bitching about her copying. huh i guess you wouldnt like it if you worked on something so hard and all of a sudden people would be bitching about it would ya? (if you dont believe me, check Wikipedia "run the world" and look at the controversy section

  • BEYONCE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? even if you did it 10 times better (which is even more annoying for the fan of the people you copy) WHYYYYYYY?

  • @ToinyBoyZz Every performer, artist, musician has been inspired by others!! Steve Jobs has said about Apple and his brilliance and creativity that, "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas" - so shut up about dance moves and special effects. ALWAYS they are inspired by others, the performer, artist, dancer, etc. then builds on that inspiration to make it their own.

  • Beyonce did a waaaaaaay better!!!!!

  • Both copied Kagemu.

  • It does not matter if she copied now I could understand if she Copied and it sucked BUT she did way better then the first person to do it.

  • Beyonce .. and WHO?!

  • she is better but it's not her idea so not her glory...

  • where in the hell do people find this shit

  • Beyonce amazing

    Second I do not even know what her name is just dumb

  • Beyonce will have a career as long as real talented people come up w/ original ideas she can rip off

  • @ihatewestlifesince99 you got no proof of what you're saying so it's very invalid

  • @ihatewestlifesince99 Most idea are never original - always, ALWAYS ideas are taken from something before. Always. It's even true with language, civilization itself, technology religion, philosophy, and always art, music and dance.

  • Holy crap lady B copied everything!!!

  • @MarcelineMissouri uuhmm they had the same production company, which specialises in these performances.. that's the reason for the similarities, but still it's not exactly the same.. but how much choice does one have with such things.. plus the Lorella's beat at the beginning sounds strangely familiar.. (hollaback girl)

  • YIKES!!!!!!!!! I hear a lot about Beyonce ripping off people but its hilariously obvious when you put them side by side. Regardless of whether or not she credited the artist & used the original creative team. What they should have done was took the IDEA alone & used that to come up with something as original as possible. The wings, drumsticks & legion of dancers are almost totally in sync with each other. Makes me wonder which idea she is going to borrow down to the millisecond for the Grammys.

  • Beyonce 

  • It isn't Beyonce there steal it, it is the creators of billboard awards!

  • @anthony8336 But did it have to be almost down to the millisecond is the question. Ideas are reused all the time. The difference is that you need to put your twist on it. Kagemu's was totally different (same concept) from Lorella's so why Beyonce couldn't have done what she did & made it her own is what is at issue. & had she truly used the same creative team as Lorella then they should have completely gotten the previous work out of their heads & built on the original idea for her performance.

  • Bastards everything is new except 2 things for 5 secs in total....!!!!! Fuck you haters..!!!! I'll visit this video everyday to dislike it now..!!!!!! __l_

  • Bastards only the theme is same , almost ALL other effects are totally different..!!!!!!!

  • @chocolateboyojas True. But people are a little anal about it because she's copied one other time. But that was after this whole thing. Besides, even if it is different, she should still consider getting a little more creative with her works.

  • @seriesdetv Lorella ? yeah she is famous in Nigeria dumb !

  • lol Perfume did this in 2010

  • @IZIxxxx what song did they perform?

  • @chortstuff look up Perfume no Okite

  • @IZIxxxx oh shit. I looked it up and they did an awesome performance.

  • Oh my god

  • OMG Beyonce has really stolen everything!!!!! The melody is from Major Lazer "Pon the floor", her performance is obviosly also stolen and not to forget her dance which she has from the tofo tofo dancers here on youtube... wtf -.-

  • omg is all i can say. I love the who runs the world performance but I didn't know someone else had already used that concept wow

  • I'd rather see someone copy and improve it than someone who dont try something new.

    in 10 million new ideas there must be at least a million that copied others,

  • i thing beyonce's was so much better, but please be human and put credit or just say that was your inspired to do it !

  • This Lorella Cuccarini lady only mad because Beyonce entirely destroyed her performance and made it look revolutionary! She didn't even make good use of the background screen. I mean, what was she even doing...just marching in place...ooooo wooow (sarcastically)

  • @gimmelemons11 JEEZ!!!! Stan much? The fact remains that Beyonce would not have had a performance to "destroy" had someone not showed her Lorella's performance. You & your god Beyonce must have very different tastes because she felt inspired enough to hire Lorella's creative team to rip off the performance for the BIllboard awards. FACT!

  • The question is, who did this Lorella lady steal it from? haha

  • I like to think that she did not copy, and that there was some understanding between the two artists. I am a huge Beyonce fan and don't like to think she'd be flippant enough to 'blatantly' copy someone in this age of technology.

  • @KimaOnline She saw the performance and talked with the choreographer of it. The original creators were aware she did it, have no fear :)

  • this is inspiration not imitation so you guys just need to stfu and stop hating! 

  • If you have haters than obviously ur doing something right. Hop of beyonces back. LUV U BEY.

  • OK FIRST OF ALL.... beyonce said she was getting insparations for the dances and perfomances of 4 from different places of the world so if yall dont know nothin then keep your big mouths shut.

  • Srsly? these are completely different, and as a matter of fact, lorella Cuccarini Copyed a japanese Guy called Kegumu or somet like that, so Beyonce had her own thing in this, so yeah go find somthing else to hate her on with your lonely lives. with nothing better to do.

  • what a bitch. this offends me.

  • Es logico este prieta decida copiar a lorena n solo por la calidad que tiene la creacion artistica del video de Lorella Cuccarini sino por que Beyonce sabe de la gran masa inculta musicalmente hablando que sufre la gente de USA y no tienen la inteligencia de ver hasia Europa donde en verdad hay calidad ademas cuando este chimpace empeso a cantar Lorella Cuccarini ya tenia mas de una decada siendo exitosa en toda Europa

  • @seriesdetv Listen why don't you go back to whatever eurotrash or south american third world country you came from. Get a proper education before you continue to make RACIST and ignorant comments. Only ignorant trash would feel the need to make a counter argument by using racist comments about another individual. By the way what fucking language are you even speaking because last time I checked "chimpanzee" is not spelled "chimpace" either in Spanish, Italian, or French. Uncultured trash!

  • @bitrejo It hurt? LOL back to Nigeria!!!!!!

  • @seriesdetv I'm not even Black. No matter. What matters is that people like you need to learn a good lesson in humanity...or at least in how to make a proper rebuttal without the use of racism and ignorance. You also need a lesson in Spanish grammar and spelling... and proper English as well before you attempt another pathetic "insult."

  • @bitrejo aaaaaaaaaaa jajajajajajaja block again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE Beyoncè but come on this is stealing!Moreover B did admitt after the scandal that she tried to have Tommasini(Cuccarini coreographer/ex Madonna coreo)to direct her performance but he was busy.She should have waited and not go with his idea without crediting him.Then again the routine and the visual effects are pretty similar to the ones that Timi Papp did in 2008,so i guess also Tommasini copied sombody else!

  • Whenever people call beyonce an average to below average singer, I laugh my fucking eyes out. Really?! Like you can hold a candle to her? Like anyone can fucking hold a candle to her?!?!? Go watch her sing ave Maria live, or at last, or ANYTHING. Her vocals are absolutely unreal. There is nothing average about her. Nothing. I know it's so incredibly unfair that none of us will EVER be as fierce and fabulous as her, but that doesn't mean you should go off and straight lie about her. Yes, this is

  • @graceisahurricane (this might start an argument) but her voice REALLY isn't that great. she's infamous for over-doing her vocal runs. i'm pretty sure if you asked any professional vocal coach, or something of the sort, they wouldn't be impressed with beyonce's singing.

  • @anoziraflaminghot Vocal runs aside, she has perfect pitch, tone, and she's also one of the best dancers out there. She doesn't have to be barbara streistand when it comes to singing, but lets face it, she has more musical talent (singing and dancing) than other female artist out there. she can perform circles around people every female entainer that I know of, at least. she's like the female michael jackson. her purpose in life is to entertain. not just sing, and not just dance.

  • @graceisahurricane i really honestly think she's overrated. she might be one of the "best" in the game, but she's not the best in general. there's billions of musicians out there who don't get signed but have more talent than any celebrity out there. the opera singers of the world completely shit on the top 40 billboard chart artists. and i don't think beyonce is that great of a dancer. she always looks like she's having a spasm.

  • @anoziraflaminghot What coreography are you watching?! Just by watching her you can tell she was born with soul and rythm. And really, opera singers?? Opera is a completely different genre than the people in the top 40s. why? its dreadful to listen too. And if these musicians your talking about are so talented, than why aren't they signed? I'll tell you why. They don't have the sparkle, or "it" factor if you will, that is nessecary for any great entertainer. Beyonce puts on a REAL show!

  • @graceisahurricane seriously, beyonce's dancing is mediocre. and yes, opera. those singers are the best of the best. i know it's a different genre, but no other singers can compare. the top 40 is what's dreadful to listen to -__- lady gaga, justin bieber, katy perry, beyonce, etc. all completely dreadful and a poor example of music. and those artists aren't signed because talent doesn't sell! cheesy pop tunes sale! outrageous personalities sale, not quality! beyonce is only mediocre at best.

  • @anoziraflaminghot oh really? so you can dance and sing like that? beyonce is a strong and powerful woman and she doesn't take shit from anyone. whenever she sings a song, she does it perfectly, its almost impossible to find a flaw in her performances. and her performances? everything is amazing from every angle. every light, every beat, every cue, every move... beyonce has it down. the fact that she can sing, while dance her sasha fierce faboulous moves and not sound all shaky... talent! and..

  • @graceisahurricane i can find a flaw in every single one of her performances. and you can dance to ANY genre of music. you obviously prefer hip-hop, r&b, and electronic music to dance to. and it's obviously what YOU can dance to. there are dance moves for ANYTHING. just because a specific genre that makes you happy, doesn't mean it's the only genre that can. her singing isn't great on any standards. she really isn't that great.

  • @graceisahurricane You need to calm down. Beyoncé may be talented but ripping off another person's concept/performance is just not a nice thing to do. Credits should be given, right? Great artists don't steal. They create, OR they acknowledge the person that inspired them. Right? Check Janet and Michael Jackson - two artists that doesn't copy or steal.

  • @anoziraflaminghot whats so entertaining about someone singing a song, just standing there? even if the notes are impressively high, and the song is sung perfectly, it has no soul. opera singers have powerful voices, but the songs they sing dont make you happy, they dont make you wanna dance. im guessing you dont like MJ either? & leave justin bieber out of this. he is in no way, musically talented. popular music is good for a reason. opera wont make you happy. ya freakum dress does!

  • Lorella Cuccarini ? who the fuch she is ?

    BEYONCE RUN THE FUCKING SHOW ! ;)

  • @09neftali yes! in nigeria Lol

  • but whos is better?

  • Lorella Cuccarini

  • now im not gonna lie beyonce's performance was crazy unreal...have to give her props she did her thing whether she copied Lorella Cuccarini 2010 performance or not buuuuuuuut she really did jack the whole ladies routine for real! i mean like she copied it so much that ms. cuccarini's coreographer need a cut from this profit! beyonce is slowly getting played out so she has no choice now but to jack people shit...it aint the first time she did it pretty sure it wont be the last!

  • That's only plagiarism if the original's not mentioned. Beyonce DID give credit to the singer for her billboards performance, it's all in her interview. Why don't some of you go and check it out?

  • @MarkTheCode The problem is the fact that, credit or not, she isn't innovative

  • I thought she took the basic idea from it but no she actually stole the whole routine, I think it's okay to be inspired by someone but you have the make your own version out of it ..

  • She does not steal the routines she has people who come up with the performances she is just a performer who hires people do not get upset with her about what she does on stage and before you saw Cuccarini's performance you probable what Beyonce did was so great.

  • la copia supero a la original buen trabajp por beyonce(y)

  • She's a big fat bitch, she's a liar, she's not pregnant and she's a pure copycat

  • @MrGitanoBoy looool i love wat u said got me cracking up

  • beyoncé is BETTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Of course Beyonce better

    Who is this idiot anyway?

  • @BeyonceParfumsVEVO How is she better? you're just an ignorant fanatic what do you know about this? Lorella is a genius and that woman copied everything, that is a very shameful and unprofessional thing to do, she's pathetic.

  • Good artists copy. Great artists steal.

    - Pablo Picasso.

  • She's just ALWAYS STEALING the work from another people and (blind) fans says "who cares, she's better, she's a hero"????? C'mon people, don't be stupid!!

  • Realmente nada se cria, tudo se copia (inda mais se tratando de Beyonce...)

  • Beyonce is a SINGER not a choreographer -_- swear people are so dumb these days Beyonce hires people to make up her dances, props, scene because Beyonce is a singer just like any other singer/dancer does janet, Britney, Chris Brown, Usher, Michael Jackson and plenty more do it what is the big deal Beyonce is paid to sing i swear you people know nothing but hate

  • @gammin5 Singer? Yeah maybe an average to below average one.

  • ugg i'm so tired of her being "inspired" by other people!!!

  • /watch?v=cK12BvLM04M

    Beyonce performance was better, i think..

  • sí, se parecen un montón pero me quedo con el de Beyonce, y eso que a mí esta mujer no me gusta nada...

  • beyonce .

    XEROX,XEROX,XEROX,XEROX

  • Well, if it worked for Led Zeppelin, make it work for you Beyonce.

  • Who cares about this other woman, beyonce rules...even if she copied it. I still love her!

  • Oh c'mon ppl!! Of course Beyoncé performance is better! She's a WORLD famous artist. Everybody in the world knows Beyoncé! Who of you guys knew who the hell Lorella Cuccarini was before watching this video???

    Have you a freakin' idea of how much more money Beyoncé makes compared to an average Italian pop artist?

    Sorry but she copied big time! No doubt about that!

  • ILLUMINATTI

    .

  • it's very IRONIC thought that the song Lorella is singing has the exact melody of Michael Jackon's "The way you make me feel" exact medlody...so guys tho I know beyonce is not original...most major recording artists are not.

  • you know what ? that kind of presentation is being used widely nowadays ... maybe its just a coincidence that they had the same concept .. but that background is appropriate to beyonce's song . yeah there are some similarities.. but i don't think she copied it ...

  • Even if Beyonce's performance is BETTER, Beyonce is just a COPYCAT !!!

  • Beyonce Performance Is Better !

  • White people create...

    Beyonce plagiate

    

  • Lots of money, zero creativity, zero personality. Is this how she wants girls to run the world?

  • Beyoncé's performance is so much better so who cares

  • An obvious influence, but I like Beyonce's version better.

  • @Ilove2dance81 You have just revealed your ignorance to the entire internet.

  • Pop Stars ruin everything.

  • Beyonce is just an anomaly. The original is ORIGINAL and any copying is just a "derivative". Just like stating that Crystal is better than Cristal when we know that there is NO DERIVATIVE WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL. It is easy to improve on something already done. I am certain there are 10's of thousands of choreographers out there that can recreate better renditions but they seldom if ever take credit for copying. Where would we be if all we did is regurgitate the same thing?

  • beyonce is and will be better

  • beyonce es y sera mejor

  • BEYONCE JUST LAUGHED AT HER!!! SHE DOES IT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL! she's a heroooooooo !!!!!

  • if it was me it would be an honor to have beyonce be inspired by stuff...but at the same time dont jack my moves and make it seem like you came up with it first...its the principle of the matter...even if she is beyonce so what...dont steal other people stuff...be original...or just give people their credit

  • @gabri2889 well she said she was getting ideas from other entertainers watch year ov 4. she does give credit to the ones that she could

  • yall always got excuses for this stealing bitch

  • but it is sucking that that timing of beyonce's wings, army and drums occured at the same time. stealing, i don't think so, but she couldn't wing it out later in the song?!?!?

  • i think beyonce is getting a bad rap, how can someone be inspired by something and others NOT think you're stealing it. as far as referencing it, should beyonce, in the middle of a video/performance/song say, "who runs the woooorld, girls! thank you lorella cuccarini. who runs the woooorld, thank you diplo". it makes no sense, if we should be mad at her, we should be made at every artist that came out since 1700 when beethoven used a 'b minor' and mozart didn't like it!!

  • @madrobin Don't be so lame. You give credits in documentation or commentary. It is done all the time. Maybe her lack of education is the reason she does not know about plagiarism, or maybe it is your lack of education. IN either case it is immoral and unethical and speaks volumes to ones character.

  • @paconot u make NO sense, was that a doc we just watched? of course you give credit via commentary or at the end of something. 'b' is always giving credit to old films/songs/dancers/designers, everytime i hear her talk, i personally haven't heard anything for this or 'countdown' but b/c i never heard it, does it mean she never gave props? think back to all the things you've seen in your life, ppl have copied things since day 1. immoral/unethical? she redid a dance, not fuk another guy..CALMATE!

  • @madrobin Man, get some EDUCATION. Documentation just means to make note. Dumb azzzzzzz! 

  • @paconot again, calmate! since you're so educated, tell me how one properly credits someone in the midst of a performance. u either do it b4/after it's done. it's not my fault if u or someone else didn't hear b personally thank lorella. would u b so bold w/ ur statement if we were talking about m. jackson, b/c he 'stole' j. brown's moves, or l. kravitz, b/c he 'stole' hendrix's style, it's not that deep, but check ur carfax, b/c documentation means more than to take note...AND I'M THROUGH!!!

  • @madrobin "would u b so bold w/ ur statement if we were talking about m. jackson..."

    ABSOLUTELY. Because those people when borrowing got permission. Everyone knew who inspired their talents and collateral. Those are legally documented. A far cry from okay let's shank this one out and deal with it afterward. And I guess if you have enough money that is okay. Well, not really because integrity is so important. Please do not defend that. Beyonce is wealthy enough to get it right!

  • grande Cuccarini!!!!

  • Damn that was fucked up, i understand being inspired but at least give credit ..most artist when they become "inspired" they normally clue to the audience where it come from or include the originator in the performance somewhere

  • just because one person uses something doesn't mean another can't. they only said it was copying because beyonce probably got more attention from it than the original did. and get over this Illuminati shit!! nobody fuckin cares if you hate her and "everybody else" that's in it stop watching them. if they're devil worshipers stop listening to them theirs plenty of artist in the world we all gone die anyways so sit back and enjoy the damn ride!!!

  • Brought here because of a headlining article showing how she copied the Countdown video and this performance. Well they forgot to mention the Single Ladies dance moves as well! "Best video of all time" psh yea right!

  • @utubeusername0001 she actually gave Bob Fosse credit for his inspiration on single ladies.

  • thieving bitch

  • nothing is original anymore everythings been done and anything you see and think is an original is just an improvement on what has been done before its just that you prbably didn't see the original.

  • Steal what? Lorella Cuccarini is not a software engineer who owns any patents to the technology used. #clue

  • Same technology but Beyonce's much better than Lorella's....much much much better

  • From what I see, she took ideas and made it her own. Still shady.

  • It's OBVIOUS she and her team were inspired by the IDEA of this technology, whats wrong with two artists using this idea? Get real people, you think nobody else in the world can use a soup can JUST because Andy did? NO, everyone should use it, because it's a good idea, use it and abuse it, thats art motherfuckaz

  • @TylerWallach There's nothing wrong with using the same technology, and I think she did a greta performance, but there are so many similarities between hers and Lorella's: the wings, the moving balls, the shapes, the hundreds of "clones", using that virtual stick as a weapon...

    I think she could have done something different with it, although, I have to admit, she did it best, even if she copied most of the elements!

  • FRAUD BITCH

  • that's just awful from Beyonce. Well, I'm very disapointed in her...

  • @InXTheXEndXAgain i agree with you. i didn't expect it from her.

  • tsss !!!! Beyoncé a mieux travailler sa performance elle et plus dynamique !! on peut pas les comparé

  • Plágio descarado!

  • They are Similar, yes Beyoncé had inspiration she's not the first artist! ALSO - BEYONCÉ CAN PULL IT OFF, the other performer you can see her shadow, the effect is lost and her graphics aren't as good!

  • It is similar but I dont see as much as I thought like pple were portraying it was hard to look at both lol I kept focusing on Bey cuse she just always takes my mind

  • since when a triangle was a automatic assumption of an illumanti?

    yall get a life

  • SMH tht just sad..

  • @MrsStrangerInMoscow yeah,Beyonce steals a lot of stuff other artist do.Still a good performance though.

  • Thumbs up if you think ppl are over reacting beyonce is a great performer so is lorella btw everyone beyonce said she was inspired by lorella's performanceand has any1 thought ab the company they it's on there part to they didn't make any changes except on beyonce's it looks better so SHUTUP U LOSERS HATE WHEN A BLACK WOMAN HAS SUCESS AND YALL HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING TO BAG ON THERE CAREER also America is original none of you European country's wouldn't have pop or hip hop if it wasn't for us no

  • Beyonce BADDEST BITCH IN THE GAME EVEN HER BABY IS ALREADY SLAYING SHE BROCKE TWIITER AWARD WITHOUT USING and She The youngest Artist to resive a LEGEND AWARD of the World Music awwards HATZERZ DEAL

  • And yur point

  • on line on gugolrep.com!

  • i don't even know lorella... I only know beyonce and this is why i was brought to this video...

  • NOTHING is original in AMERICA.. ;')

  • @fazz3173 cos America itself is stolen!

  • @fazz3173 not true at all...in fact, Rock n Roll, Country and Rap music ARE originally American products...as are Baseball, American Football and Basketball. WE have given the world ENTERTAINMENT...we have given the world a different kind of culture...one that many have tried to emmulate and copy. That's not to say that those things wouldn't exist without us BUT not near as developed or as good!!

  • TRIANGLES

    ARE TRIANGLES

    NOTHING MORE

    jesus fucking christ

  • it is REALLY Illuminati

    look at the triangulum -s

    and the things shapes at the screen ....beyonce ? really?

  • Beyonce is an unoriginal thief.

  • im italian and beyonce rock it! she took it to another level. what lorella did was so booring that nobody even talked about this in italy. and yet..beyonce is on everybody's lyps for her performance.

  • I noticed alot more triangles and the one dollar bill triangle than the other chick... just saying...Beyonce is just blatant with it

  • Beyonce is soooo sexy. I wish I was her guard or something so I could work my way up to fuking her.

  • @dfg93353 Lmfao, that wouldnt happen unless you rape her or something. And you would get in a BIG trouble.

  • The difference is so huge it blinds so many isnt it? How can't you see the power inside beyonce?

  • @MarkTheCode Well they aren't singing the same song. Lorella's song is much slower than Beyonce's which means she doesn't need to use to much energy. She would just be over doing it. And the video is trying to point out how Lorella came up with the graphic background idea first and Beyonce copied her and did the same thing. Otherwise Beyonce's performance was more entertaining than Lorella's.

  • This isn't Beyonce's first performance with projection, so you may stop thinking now that Cuccarini created the concept. Both performances are amazing, but I feel, to Beyonce's credit, this is by far her greatest performance ever, and if that's what she was going for, you can tell she succeeded when in the end she broke her stance with a smile like "Omg I'm glad that's over". What's even more amazing is how she maintained voice control thru all the head bopping. Lorella Cuccarini, amazing also.

  • BEYONCE was better - she made the technology look good. The other woman looked bored and stiff

  • lmao ppl had me thinking that beyonce did the exact same thing this girl did lmao Beyonce just took what she did and made it better i dont call that copying lol its not the same at all

  • BEYONCE 4EVER.

  • Look at the video from 1:06 and on. It's silly, but it matches! They definitely should do a duo cover.

  • And Societies were built on plagarism...oops or should sociologists say borrowed elements of another great empire's culture.

  • nada a ver

  • BEYONCE IS A COPY CAT
