Sorry to break it to everyone but Beyonce did not steal it. Yes she copied it, but legally a piece of "work"/idea, if it can be expressed in only one way(i.e. a choreographer's dance moves can only be expressed by dancing them) then it is public domain and anyone can use it afterwards. Beyonce did copy it, but she has no legal right to ask for permission or to credit the original. This is the folly of the entertainment business, everything gets recycled and Beyonce always does just that.
I hate to make it seem like I support her stealing it but Beyonce did do a better job on the dance moves, it was more fluid than Anne's. Unfortunately it still doesn't make up for the lack of permission.
man yall need to get off beyonces nuts and open your eyes...there is a huge difference between inspiration and plain on copying. Seeing this side by side she damn near copyied all the dance moves. wardrobe and makeup. What make it bad is that she doesnt pay homage to the ORIGINAL person who created this work. She passes it off as her own and thats what really irkes me about her. Just plain phony and overrated.
@Lilleypad11 I have lost all respect for this woman who calls herself Beyoncé, which should just be changed to "Bouncy", as she bounces from artist to artist, rippin' it off wherever and whenever she can. The music is so bubble-gum "post-hip-hop" who cares anyway. Faith Evans, a REAL black woman, is a better singer, performer and a true original. Kiss my ass, Bouncy Bowels.
"A choreographic work, whether original or not, is not subject to copyright protection unless it has been videotaped or notated. The same applies to speeches that have not been transcribed before or after they are given, as well as any other types of performances." But remember, you can't copyright yoga moves, you can't copyright kung fu moves. I am sure you can't copyright dance moves, and also Porn. (google search for "You can't copyright porn" )
@orioncheung Who gives a rat's ass about copyright? That still doesn't excuse her lack of ideas from within herself. Beyoncé has ZILCH in the originality department, she looks and acts about as black as Barbra Streisand, and her music SUCKS! But no one can criticize her cause she make so much paper. WOW.
So what she did the same thing, she takes ideas all the time (not the bad way) and asks permission. And she didnt EXACTLY do it like the other chick, she remixed and put extra. (: And perfected it <3
OMG @ fundifferent1 you did an amazing job with showing both of the videos at once, so viewers could see the similarities, and I like how it was on beat. I betcha Anne was mad as hell. lol
It was not her acting alone. There was the writer of the video, the costume designer, the director, and the rest of the 50 or however much more crew there was to witness the work in progress.. "she stole" no.. beyonce did not make this video in her back yard for crying out loud. There are others behind the scenes. Besides, she let people out there know of Ann Teresa. I didn't even know of her or the movie etc.. Now I know. And I know I am not the only one.
Everything is damn near the same. However, it doesn't surprise me, Beyonce's known for stealing others material and not giving them the credit. Everyone knows she's not nor will she ever be as talented as the people she steals from, that's why she steals their material. And just to let some of you know, I knew of Anne Teresa long before Beyonce stole from her. Study dance and you too, will learn of her.
Most of these comments are... "Beyoncé Stole the dance moves", "Beyoncé did this", u don't know anything. So just shut up. Before u saw this video, u probably loved Beyoncé video. Now u saw this one(no disrespect) & ur like I lost respect for Beyoncé. TF SMDH
@lexiluvsmusic1 Nevertheless, she still stole the woman's material which she probably worked hard to create. It's not the"inspiration" that's such a let down, it's B not giving credit when credit is due that probably disappointed her fans. It the principle behind the act, not the act itself. how happy would you be, if someone more famous than you, ripped of you material,and not give you any type of credit. I already knew of her many "inspirations", so it doesn't shock me.
@lexiluvsmusic1 shut up and open your eyes. If we apparently dont know if she stole it (which she obviously did) how do you know she didnt. ugh stupid stans!!!!
Im no copyrite expert so I can`t exactly see what she did so wrong legally. Ethically is another story! Credit is deserved where credit is due. If Beyonce infact used this womans material w/o her permission then she is taking the right course of action. Just think about, how would you like if someone did that to a creation that you poured your blood,sweat, & tears into?Its important to view things objectivly... Right is right & wrong is wrong, no matter who is involved!
isn't it a movie......I. dndt, get ,,,people do same thing with other movies...its the concept.....people on youtube do prodigy...it makes no difference ...its only cause its beyonce.....dance moves are recreated every damn day
wow. I thought choreographers actually, you know, choreographed works. Not take another's and change a few hand gestures. the original was amazing, just saw the full one. beautiful.
I found out some of these clips they juz made. Juz To say she stole even more . To get more money. Beyonce did copy I can say. But not as much as shown.
Beyonce is so unoriginal that I don't know how she is still in business. She doesn't even give credit to who she stole the move from. What a shame. She can't even get her own material.
At the end of the day, beyonce used there moves to 'inspire' her music video. most of the moves are adapted to make them more modern and in my opinion better. although there are SOME moves that she did copy but there is a cetain amount of copied moves that acctually affect copyright. stealing and inpiration is different. and if i was them i wouldnt sue her i would be flattered that the most glamorous, most talented superstar in the world used their chorography to inspire her music video!!!
@MeeOfficial1(copy right law) others are free to express the same idea as the author did, or use the same facts, as long as they do not copy the author's original way of expressing the ideas or facts. In addition, even those rights granted in the author's expression are limited in duration and are subject to certain exceptions permitting public use under limited circumstances. and she did just that ok
@walkerporche I think people should leave you alone. You're not mentally well. Sticking up for a multi millionaire copying someone less fortunate?
A. I work in copyright, and you have the law wrong.
B. Even if you had it right. It's still morally wrong. Why the hell are you sticking up for her? She doesn't know who you are.... just because you read all these stories in the magazines about her, it doesn't mean you have anything to do with her at all..
i Reaalllyyy love beyonce but DAMNN... You Cannot say that she didnt copy that.. And in another video beyonce actually TALKS about stealing people stuff.. I Love you B but this was wayyyyyy Too Similar.... Your amazing... Be original. Its worked this far hasnt it?!
@143calicouture actually this video was shot september 23rd of 2011 when she was 6 months pregnant she was showing you just can't see clearly she didn't turn to the side aha a month before she announced her pregnancy to the world at the VMA awards
damn, at first I was thinking only one or two moves but damn. Some of those things wasn't even worthy enough to steal (ex:2:32-2:56) she could have did her own moves right there. I mean the exact same shoulders and everything. Damn, no originality what so ever. Damn, i'm so surprised B. I must admit however, some of the things that was so called copied was knit-picking (ex: 0:16-49) and don't count, however, it is plan clear at the things that she do decide to copy.
To all the people basically saying. "She should be happy, I wouldn't even know this person if beyonce didn't copy her." That's like you making a little cartoon, working for months on it, and then turning on tv to see your work, drawn a little different. But, it's ok! People wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't stolen. :\
Wow, I'm so amazed that they used these moves back then starting at 1:30. That shows you that style is never original, it is always recycled. I think it's just cool, if it wasn't Beyonce, I wouldn't know who Anne Teresa De is til the video came out. But at the same time, she could've give her credit of where she got the inspiration from.
Beyonce stealing other peoples dances and whatever, Nicki Minaj steals Lil Kim's style and whatever, and the list goes on with many people...I don't know the real facts and don't care, but i've noticed that people don't give the originals the proper credit these days.
I would be happy if beyonce I thought I was good enough to be mimicked. Also this did nothing but help the careers of the people copies. I didnt know who that lady was before beyonce made this video I definetly didnt know about those men from run the world. Did you?
@jayyduhhk0m3t No, but that doesn't quite give her the right to take other people's choreography without 1) asking first or 2) giving credit where credit is due.

@hiphopismydrug1 Thank you! :) I was gonna say, it isn't Beyoncé's fault because she just does the choreography that is shown to her... it's not like she intentionally stole the other woman's work.
@hiphopismydrug1 Not quite. Beyonce said, “Clearly, the ballet ‘Rosas danst Rosas’ was one of many references for my video ‘Countdown.’ It was one of the inspirations used to bring the feel and look of the song to life.”
Doesn't sound to me like she was oblivious. Google "ny times beyonce plagiarism" for an article on it with more info.
thing is she probably DID ask for permission but erm shes not going to announce to the whole world that she did. guys chill out she copied a dance routine gosh dont crap your pants.
@stricknacco you know what I just read, that Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker said that she was also pregnant at the time with her second child when she was filming her movie, creepy huh? lol.
@stricknacco Its not fully copied. And Beyonce's choreographer probably introduced this to her and their HAD to be some kind of permission given or it wouldnt be aired and she would be in trouble. (:
@GeniiLovesYouu She did not ask for permission. The original choreographer has publicly accused Beyonce of stealing her work. Here's an article from her, though I'm not sure if this link will work:
WOWWWWWWWWWWW , i lovee Beyonce .. but the lawsuit is definitely needed . She only admits she stole it because someone noticed it and its UNDENIABLE . She's such a poser I swear .. Her & alllll the Illuminati puppets -____-
Wow. Beyonce!! I'm really losing respect. Number One, you freaking stole this entire dance!! Number 2, I have never in my life seen any pregnant woman roll around and dance like tat without losing their child. Or even rolling all the way. Number 3, Your Australian interview, I think Wendy Williams put it bet when she said, "WHAT THAT IS, B?"
@expressyourself2222 so what she liked the dance and decided to reenact it. What artist hasn’t stolen something? annnnnnd Alicia Keys has defiantly rolled around while she was pregnant! Beyonce defiantly shot a lot of her videos months before she was really showing..i honestly don’t see the big deal
@sugarmelonchewgumbon NO I dont see the big deal because she's still getting paid regaurdless! you see the big deal cause your not getting paid to sit on youtube all day & hate!
This has happened a few times. Destiny's Child once took a school's drumline medley for Lose My Breath and didn't credit them. Then, Pon di Floor and now, this? Tsk tsk.
They should have been honored. Atleast she mentioned them as her inspiration and didnt try to deny it. I like this one but quite honestly she was doin them a favor. I saw the vid without these parts and it was just as good, I didn't even notice it was missing anything until I saw this one so w/e...
@OrthoRRR -.- payin homage to comments doesnt even make sense...but ANYWHO they didnt steal and yes she did give credit to her when she was asked about it but its one of things where you shouldnt have to ask...just like she for mexican breakfast(Single Ladies) and also like she did for the bob fosse references in Get Me Bodied, most ppl knew where it came from...also like when some covers a song you should have to tell someone to give credit when you should know who it is...

This is full on plagerism and some people have made some very clear, intelligent responses here. Thanks! So many others, however, still don't get it!! This is SO clearly NOT just inspiration. Anne's work was clearly studied to a T to replicate so much of her choreography. To watch a work once or twice and then create something with a similar theme, style, look, setting, costumes, whatever... THAT's the kind of imitation that happens in art ALL the time and THAT's flattery or"homage" - NOT THIS!
@kirifig And as someone else said similarly....I love Beyonce. This is really disappointing. If she just said that this was Keersmaeker's work and she was re-mounting some of it into her video, I just might have thought it was really cool! And THEN, (as some of you on here have said) she would be giving this great, brilliant and classic piece of contemporary dance some exposure to the public that otherwise would not have known about it. ONLY then!
@ShyPandaPanda theres nuthin bad about the way the dance. its different in speed and adds tht aspect of unique. it makes u look at it differently and adds a totally different feel to the vviewers. instead of HEY look at my flashy moves! its look at this and decide what it means. why did i choose to do it this speed and so on. it makes u think, and also the way they move is quite fascinatin to watch imo
Beyonce gets a major side eye (major!) for lifting the entire (and I do mean entire) choreography, wardrobe & costume design (whoa!) right down to hair styles & makeup looks (what?!)
I get mad because all of the people on here quick to point the finger at the black woman yet white people steal everything in history call it theirs and nobody has shit to say about that people make me sick
@MebefromBelgium@OrthoRRR@DevinaMetallic You all made VERY valid points and I under stand what you're saying, but for the most part I still stand by my own comment. What she did was wrong...ok...but like I said she made those people relevant to those of us who don't or didn't know who they were before. But that's not to say what feathers shouldn't be soothed. I haven't seen any interview were Beyonce commented on the videos so I don't know if she claimed "original choreography" or not. *shrug
I like beyonce and all but this is ridiculous. How can you not give credit to the person who so called "Inspired" your whole entire video. Not just the moves but the setting, the costumes, etc.
O.o is my reaction like really beyonce used to be my idol! its not a big deal if she stole ONE move but instead she stole the WHOLE DANCE! and didnt even pay tribute to Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
welp i think it was a good video and she did what she wanted to do i mean if she didnt acknowledge that is was someone else dance moves thats wrong...BUT dont artists do it all the time ijs....and i think she didnt take it thinking people was gonna think she was stealing it looked like the original i think she was just making a update on what she liked i dont see the big deal i guess cause its BEYONCE she wrong whatever i love her and the video
Beyonce did state that she had time to travel around the world to see different cultures, dance techniques, and music.Only thing she is doing is allowing you to enjoyed the choregraphy and the artistry of these people cultures from her eyes to yours. Because not every one have the money to travel to these places to enjoyed it. I think Beyonce is doing a really good job of showing it off. She just bring it back, and doing it better... #pointblankperiod
There are obvious similarities between the two. However in my opinion Beyonce and her dancers looked so much better doing this choreography, and it goes perfectly with the song. I would consider this homage, but Beyonce went about it in the wrong way. She should have at least asked the original choreographer for permission.
Homage???? HOMAGE??? If this was supposed to be a homage, she should have at least given credit. This is plain out stealing. The choreography, lighting and costumes are so similar, practically identical. It's not a spoof, it's not a homage, it's plagiarism.
And trust me, I'm not against Beyonce, I adore her. But if she had said this choreography's was Anne's I would have thought the music video was cool. But she didn't, so it's stealing.
yes dance moves are copied time and time again and most artists find it a form of flattery when others copy or imitate them. but it is one thing to treat another's work as your own. it is also something else entirely to completely copy step for step someone's work and pass it off as yours. ms. keersmaeker was right when she said it was rude. this is wasn't inspired by ms. keersmaeker, it was downright taken from her. give keersmaeker the credit for her work, she's a genius
And another thing... There is no such thing as copying a dance move. It's dancing for goodness sakes. The dude that started the Dougie isn't gonna file a law suit because someone else did it. It is not possible for her to file a disclaimer every time she does a dance move. And if asked she'll say what artist, dance, whatever inspired the choreography. I don't give a damn where it came from. She looks great doing it
@britstone06 Its one thing to copy ONE dance move. I'm pretty sure some people grab their crotches and do the moonwalk like MJ in their videos. But this is a WHOLE choreography that was copied. That's another thing.
@britstone06 It's not a move, it's an entire performance. Copyright infringement requires a certain percentage or amount of the original work to be used before it becomes illegal because of this very reason. If someone looks good wearing a shirt from your closet without asking AND makes money off of it under the claim that it's theirs, that is offensive. I love the video and the song, but I lose respect for Beyonce not even asking. Inspiration and stealing are different.
@britstone06 are u serious? The dude who invented the "dougie" Is a rapper named "doug e. fresh" from the get fresh crew.. WTH are u talking about? they named the dance after him, AND he was in both videos. 1st the dance started from the south Houston, Texas, (H-town), then, the cali swagg district put thier own lil spin on it ( wich is how u show creativity) and even then they shout out Houston Texas in their song from where the dance originated from. ok?
I don't see what the big deal is. She's been inspired by something someone else did and applied it to her own music therefore making these people or groups relevant again, if they were ever even relevant to begin with. These are artists and groups that many of her listeners, myself included, have never even heard of. But now because of her videos we know of them, even if we aren't going to go looking them up.
@britstone06 The big deal is that before one uses choreography of someone else, one asks and gets permission. Beyonce nor anyone in her entourage has done such a thing and therefore it's an open theft of intellectual property. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker did acknowledge that it does reach a larger audience, but that doesn't justify the theft. Plus, would you have realized the dancemoves weren't made by Beyonce or her choreographer by just seeing the vid?
uhm.....its called HOMAGe...this is PURE homage....if she was gonna claim it as her own she would have had different set design...different clothing but no its the same its OBVIOUS that its homage
@DrakoDramatik92 If it wasn't for people letting the world know that it was originally created by Anne, it would be all Beyonce's. To give homage is to give credit and Beyonce and her team didn't do that. If I wanted to give homage t o you and your comment, then I would copy your comment, acknowledge you, and say how great of a comment it was so that everyone else would understand. I love the video, but the truth is, Beyonce and staff stole it.
I'm starting to lose respect for this women..i just watched beyonce-the biggest copycat part 1, 2 and 3..run the wold(copied perfomance) and now this...you disapointed me Bee!:(
For those who want to claim artistic plagerism and rape, let me put this bug in your ear: Hip Hop became a coat of many colors worn by many RACES and CULTURES for financial gain, and when it served its purpose, it was thrown back on the steps of the very COMMUNITY of people who created it. Sometimes, barely recognizable; used, abused and roots NEVER acknowledged. Before you talk about who sues whom, the defiling of hip hop has a longer list of plaintifs.
Artist do this ALL THE TIME, people are only talking about it because it's BEYONCE (@_@). Also, I thought she already acknowledged this, get up to speed people.
why other people can make a remix songs or music out of the original singer or performer could whereas a fame superstar who inspired other people creative work can't do like they does?? isn't it not fair to the them...
Imagine you spent months making a product, you invested time out of your life building the choreography, finding investors, paying numerous, camera men, dancers, wardrobe and makeup artists. One day you turn on your TV and see someone else using your product to make money. How would you feel?
a fact for everyone to know......EVERYTHING IS A REMIX OF SOMETHING......ideas and parts from older movies are in newer ones and parts of song lyrics come from other songs and it even happens with tv shows...heres an example parts of star wars came from other movies......so there really isnt any reason to be upset why because...EVERYTHING IS A REMIX OF SOMETHING
people complain about beyonce probably because (1) she's a black woman, (2) she can actually make a fun and entertaining music video, (3) she's the best performer and (4) because some folks just hate on her for "bogus" and "lame" reasons. everyone in the industry gets inspired and beyonce is one of those people when it comes to dance creativity. folks should be happy that she's bringing old ass school dance moves back. had beyonce not did it, no one would know about the old dance routines & ppl.
@breybrey2dajizzay true. most of us wouldn't have known about Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker before the video. now i find myself checking out the original Anne Teresa works and i actually like them. so...i guess...thanks Beyoncé lulz
EXACTLY!!! ppl should stop complaining about her being inspired and just be happy Beyonce is bring back old media. beyonce has been inspired by the destiny's child days so folks just need to get over it and quit hatin on her. she's the best for a reason. she brings her art to perfection and entertainment.
@breybrey2dajizzay that's like saying we should re-record songs from 40 years ago and take complete credit for it. that's plagiarism, and copyright infringement. that's stealing the intellectual property of someone else. beyonce should have given credit to the original artist. and i'm not complaining because she's "black" or because she's entertaining, but because she STOLE someone else's choreo. i would have said the same thing if it was ANY other artist
@breybrey2dajizzay no she didnt. she only copied most of the choreography. its still plagiarism. unless she got permission from that artist and gave credit to that previous artist for her choreo, then beyonce stole this idea, and plagiarized it.
oh well, it turned out to be a great video and the original chick who did the original videos didn't feel angry nor honored. plain and simple, the original chick don't give a damn. viewers shouldn't either. beyonce and her team should be the only ones worryin about the issue. viewers should just be glad beyonce made another piece of insprational art that they can be able to discover from whoever inspired her. plus just enjoy the video. it ain't like she stole your choreography.
@breybrey2dajizzay Only the most blatant person in the world would consider not "feeling honored or angry" to be "not giving a damn". She feels quite saddened that the meaning of the choreography was lost. Rosas Danst Rosas was a choreography that expressed feminine stance on sexual issues. Was this issue expressed when Beyonce did it? Brey, saying "Oh she's not copying you, she's copying this other gal over there!" doesn't mean we all shouldn't give a damn about the creator's effort.
the only thing the original chick is sad about is how long it took for her work to actually be discovered and brought to mainstream but at the same time, she's not honored by beyonce nor is she angry at beyonce. as viewers, ya'll shouldn't be tryna make a huge ol' discussion off this. seriously, and yes if she copied your choreography, then i could understand u coming up with arguments and discussions about how pissed u are. until then, just shake your head and get off her video.
Sorry to break it to everyone but Beyonce did not steal it. Yes she copied it, but legally a piece of "work"/idea, if it can be expressed in only one way(i.e. a choreographer's dance moves can only be expressed by dancing them) then it is public domain and anyone can use it afterwards. Beyonce did copy it, but she has no legal right to ask for permission or to credit the original. This is the folly of the entertainment business, everything gets recycled and Beyonce always does just that.

At the end of the day, beyonce used there moves to 'inspire' her music video. most of the moves are adapted to make them more modern and in my opinion better. although there are SOME moves that she did copy but there is a cetain amount of copied moves that acctually affect copyright. stealing and inpiration is different. and if i was them i wouldnt sue her i would be flattered that the most glamorous, most talented superstar in the world used their chorography to inspire her music video!!!

There are obvious similarities between the two. However in my opinion Beyonce and her dancers looked so much better doing this choreography, and it goes perfectly with the song. I would consider this homage, but Beyonce went about it in the wrong way. She should have at least asked the original choreographer for permission.
IllusionInfinity69 3 months ago
Homage???? HOMAGE??? If this was supposed to be a homage, she should have at least given credit. This is plain out stealing. The choreography, lighting and costumes are so similar, practically identical. It's not a spoof, it's not a homage, it's plagiarism.
And trust me, I'm not against Beyonce, I adore her. But if she had said this choreography's was Anne's I would have thought the music video was cool. But she didn't, so it's stealing.

yes dance moves are copied time and time again and most artists find it a form of flattery when others copy or imitate them. but it is one thing to treat another's work as your own. it is also something else entirely to completely copy step for step someone's work and pass it off as yours. ms. keersmaeker was right when she said it was rude. this is wasn't inspired by ms. keersmaeker, it was downright taken from her. give keersmaeker the credit for her work, she's a genius

I don't see what the big deal is. She's been inspired by something someone else did and applied it to her own music therefore making these people or groups relevant again, if they were ever even relevant to begin with. These are artists and groups that many of her listeners, myself included, have never even heard of. But now because of her videos we know of them, even if we aren't going to go looking them up.
britstone06 3 months ago
@britstone06 The big deal is that before one uses choreography of someone else, one asks and gets permission. Beyonce nor anyone in her entourage has done such a thing and therefore it's an open theft of intellectual property. Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker did acknowledge that it does reach a larger audience, but that doesn't justify the theft. Plus, would you have realized the dancemoves weren't made by Beyonce or her choreographer by just seeing the vid?

For those who want to claim artistic plagerism and rape, let me put this bug in your ear: Hip Hop became a coat of many colors worn by many RACES and CULTURES for financial gain, and when it served its purpose, it was thrown back on the steps of the very COMMUNITY of people who created it. Sometimes, barely recognizable; used, abused and roots NEVER acknowledged. Before you talk about who sues whom, the defiling of hip hop has a longer list of plaintifs.

@breybrey2dajizzay Only the most blatant person in the world would consider not "feeling honored or angry" to be "not giving a damn". She feels quite saddened that the meaning of the choreography was lost. Rosas Danst Rosas was a choreography that expressed feminine stance on sexual issues. Was this issue expressed when Beyonce did it? Brey, saying "Oh she's not copying you, she's copying this other gal over there!" doesn't mean we all shouldn't give a damn about the creator's effort.
