Hi guys, I'm Bridget Daly and you're watching ClevverMusic. Beyonce is being accused of copying another artist on her most recent video for Countdown. A video surfaced online that matches up the vid to footage from Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Here's the fan-made vid.
We definitely see a lot of similarities, but many are arguing that that's the whole point of the video—that it tributes many different eras and artists. Weigh in below with what you think—do you think Countdown is just a copycat vid, or an eclectic original? Let us know!

if in fact it is a tribute video, then the producer should let that be known, maybe announce it, include the original choreographer in the credits, or perhaps it could have been incorporated in the title of the video.....?...otherwise, it comes off as a very shady action....

Beyoncé is always saying how she spend time on youtube finding inspirational movement for her music videos. Just with Run The World (Girls) she saw the tofu tofu dannce group and tried to incorporate the moves but couldn't so she flew the guys in and featured them in her video, she doesn't hide the fact that she uses inspiration. To be honest with you, this belgium chick should be flattered that a star as big as Beyonceé is inspired by her
