  6. 6

    You're such a hater Perez. Beyoncé said she was inspired by Bob Fosse for her new video! Anyway I Am…Sasha Fierce is in stores now!!!

  10. 10

    she is trying to be RIHANNA…..CUZ WASNT IT RIHANNA WEARING THE TIGHTS AND BODYSUIT at the VMA…

    beowulf is sooooo jealous that Hova is fuckin Rihanna and NOT HER FAT SKANKY HILL BILLY ASS



  11. 11

    Yeah i think i remember seeing Donna Summer doing that same video back in the 70's.

    Beyonce needs to be bebounced around so she comes to her senses and her ego is deflated quicker than the hindenberg.



  12. 12

    Perez u are soooooo late! She said it was her insperation. She said she really liked this video and wanted to do somthing to honor her and make it more current.



  13. 13

    Wait so your saying Beyonce copied her dance and video from this other lady? So what it looks like it was done in 1960, ppl do re-makes all the time!! I dont see the big deal



  14. 14

    You are late Perez, Beyonce already said that this was the inspiration for her video. She liked how the dancers did the entire thing in one take and she had ATLs finest tranny choreographer give her the moves.



  15. 15

    kill me, seriously, kill me.



  16. 16

    She's booooooooooooooring, she's also copying Rihanna now, rihanna has her signature hairstyles and now Beyonce wants a signature hairstyle, rihanna has the crazy outfits now beyonce wants crazy outfits, this chick is so played out, yawn.



  17. 17

    wtf is this?!?



  18. 18

    Nice try, Perez. Beyonce said weeks ago that the director was inspired by that clip…



  19. 19

    SEEEERIOUSLY LATE WITH THIS ONE PEREZ!

    AND IT'S A NON-STORY BECAUSE BEYONCE HERSELF HAS SAID THAT SHE CREATED THE VIDEO IN HOMAGE TO BOB FOSSE!

    DUH!



  20. 20

    Perez, she already gave credit to three different sets of people for their inspiration in making her video, stop trying to cause trouble!



  21. 21

    old news, perez.



  22. 22

    duh!!! its a remake of one of the famous gwen verdon dance.



  23. 23

    total copycat! shit no one is original these days.



  24. 24

    Ok…Perez. Why do you only hate on Beyonce? She had stated she was referencing Fosse in the Single Ladies video. Why not get on everbody else in the pop world? Britney copies Madonna, Christina copies Gaga and many others…CHER. Beyonce is the only one that puts her blood, sweat and tears into the business…leave her alone already. You only seem to bash on the talented ones…Give credit where it is due. You yourself said you liked her Euro music award performance!

    stop hating on her.

    PS Her album is great…..take a chance and listen to it.



  25. 25

    Way to try and create something out of nothing, Perezzie… Slow day much?



  26. 26

    … old news …



  27. 27

    and stop saying that she is copying Rihanna……Beyonce is no comparison. All Rihanna has going is a good Beat, and her "sense of style"

    Beyonce is much more than that. She can actually sing.



  28. 28

    not at all beyonces is TOTALLY different and better at that!



  29. 29

    Big Deal, she said on 106th & Park when she premeired,that is where she copied it from…and you're surprised! Nothing she does is original. She takes everyone elses idea's and turns them into her own. Just like "if I were a boy" didnt Ciara make that song like almost 2 years ago?

  30. tasha says – reply to this


    30

    Ah perez, if you had kept up with the news on beyonce and the other artists you boycott you'd know she was paying tribute to this fosse video.



  31. 31

    FIRST OF ALL PEREZ. You're a day late and a dollar short.
    SECOND OF ALL Beyonce told people on 106 and park, and few other sources that she got her idea from this particular video…FOSSE. SHE SAID SO
    Don't come up in here staring Beyonce ish. She's not doing anything wrong, and is better than any entertainer, in her realm, to date. BACK THE FUKK OFF!!



  32. 32

    Wow, that was wayyy too similar.

    First she took the spotlight from BC Jean w/ "If I Were A Boy", now this? I admit the song "Single Ladies" is catchy as all hell, but come on now…I was already pissed off at hearing Beyonce's version of "If I Were A Boy" every 20 minutes on the radio…now I am even more pissed off!

  33. Fweez says – reply to this


    33

    Beyobce confirmed that her Single Ladies video was indeed inspired by the famed Broadway choreographer Bob Fosse .. She said that on 106. She saw the video on youtube and liked the idea and that inspired her to make the video.

    So STFU haters !! She didn't seal anything .



  34. 34

    that's fucken funny



  35. 35

    damn Pretzelz! seems like SOMEBODY'S mighty SLLLOOOOW on the uptake!
    that info has been out since her vid dropped.

    she was "INSPIRED" again…just like she was "INSPIRED" by Sweet Charity's 'Rich Man's Frug' in the Get me bodied vid.

    whattya want dude…they don't make 'em 100% original like Grace Jones anymore.



  36. 36

    Too bad you are way late on this one. Beyonce said in several interviews over a month ago that she was INSPIRED by that youtube video! Fuck face. She is giving them credit. Don't be made because you are too fat to do the dance. And don't be mad cuz you are fuckin ugly and will never be at Beyonce's level!

  38. 38

    fosse style dances all looks very similar no matter what order the moves are in



  39. 39

    BOB SAGET IS MORE WOMAN THAN YOU'LL EVER DREAM OF BEING!!!



  40. 40

    As funny as this is…this was on thefrisky.com like 3 weeks ago!! C'mon Perez. Give credit where credit is due!



  41. 41

    lame story. everyone knows she was inspired by fosse.



  42. 42

    Ummm, she already admitted to this being the inspiration for the video on 106 and Park…calm down w/ the ????.



  43. 43

    Re: Obama says NO to prop H8TE – uh…what they calling 'The Rihanna' now…we called 'The Hallie' back in the 90s. None of it is new or original. Tears.



  44. 44

    Omg its trueeeeeee! What a stealer, first if i was a boy, now her film lip idea's!

  52. 52

    Hey Perezita! You Moron! She stated herself that she got inspired by the very video! Wow maybe your not so informed as I though you were?



  53. 53

    Oh Perez, shut up for once.

    1. People have been saying this for the longest
    2. She was inspired by Bob Fosse, the chreographer



  54. 54

    Beyonce already stated she was inspired by Fosse for this video. SHe gave credit where it was due.



  55. 55

    Obviously…
    She did say used this as a source for inspiration..

    you are so late on things lately



  56. 56

    Don't be such a prick, Perez or any of you other haters. Beyonce already admitted that she was inspired by the Gwen Verdon dance from Fosse choreography. Do you research before you try to diss Mrs. Knowles. Green's not a good look for you.



  57. 57

    You're such a fucking fat bitch Perez.



  58. 58

    Re: Wu-Tang Clan – THANKS A LOT. I THINK YOU KILLED SASSY. YOU WERE PEREZ AMA LA COMIDA AFTER ALL. THEN YOU WERE ALEXIS CARRINGTON BITCHES, RIGHT?? SHE'S GONE, PROBABLY DUE TO YOUR LACK OF BEING A DECENT HUMAN BEING. THANKS A LOT BUDDY. I'M APPRECIATING THAT.



  59. 59

    Uh…yeah. Didn't she say recently in an interview that she saw the Fosse video on youtube and was inspired by it? God, Perez, I swear, you sound like such an idiot when you don't get all your facts correct. As a student of journalism, you should know better to report the whole story, not just part of it.



  60. 60

    this was fun looking this up on youtube, i ended up watching a big girl do the walk out, good times its not that similar



  61. 61

    YOU ARE ALL WRONG.
    She said that on BET but AFTER she was exposed on Youtube, in other words, if nobody had exposed her copy she wouldn't have said anything. This woman is a joke.



  62. 62

    Re: Obama says NO to prop H8TE

    Obama loves Beyonce. Better get in line.



  63. 63

    she purposefully did it like that.

    she even says it in interviews that that clip inspired her to do it.

    get your facts straight.



  64. 64

    So when Kanye takes an old beat and mentions you in it, its cool? And win JT steals moves from Michael Jackson its an update. But when Beyonce does it, its recycling?

    Pop music is little more then a product of the music that come before. At least Beyonce is reaching back PAST the 80's (unlike Lady Gaga and half the europop you post) for her references…

    …and damn it she does it with gusto.



  65. 65

    This dance video is sick, stop hating!



  66. 66

    i dont knwowho those old ladies are…..but damn do they kick ass!!!!!

    beyonce can't copy that….she just aint got it…..but she sure did try



  67. 67

    perez, you drink too much haterade.

    being inspired doesn't mean you're unoriginal. everyone is inspired by everyone else. beyonce is fierce, and a bit of fosse makes everything fiercer.



  68. 68

    hahaha thats exactly what i thought of when i saw it!!



  69. 69

    Its kind of obvious that its her choreographer's fault, not hers, dont you think??



  70. 70

    hahaha i noticed that the first time i watched the video a couple weeks ago. i dont like beyonce but i think its kinda clever :)

  71. Rimsy says – reply to this


    71

    Beyonce said she was inspired by the video a long ass time ago Perez. Also I love how the dancing fits so well w/ Walk It Out!



  72. 72

    Beyonce confirmed that her Single Ladies video was indeed inspired by the famed Broadway choreographer Bob Fosse .. She said that on BET 106 & Park



  73. 73

    Thought you were meant to be up to date? Try reading a few interviews she's done about finding that on youtube. Also, do shoulder pads & having big eye make up now come with a copyright? If so someone call Cher cos she's gonna be suing for breach. I don't usually write things but this is just crap. stick to gossip not vile attacks.



  74. 74

    paying homage doesn't mean 'copying'!!!!

  75. ydur says – reply to this


    75

    YAWN Perez! and btw Beyonce's video is cool no matter what you think



  76. 76

    That is hilarious! I like Beyonce's video ok, but the ladies from the 60's were on point!



  77. 77

    the bitch only said she was inspired because she got caught jakkini AGAIN..make sure you pay up this time!



  78. 78

    wow
    first of all this is old news
    second of all, beyonce said that her video was SUPPOSED to be a dedication to the originall….

    i come on this site 100 times a day and take everything literally..i really gotta stop!



  79. 79

    At least she borrowed from the best. Both videos are the shit.



  80. 80

    all the steps she does in the music video are all fosse stuff, if she was coping anyone it would be Bob Fosse. I think this video shows a style of dance that people dont get to see alot of…i think that the video is great!



  81. 81

    are u serious?!?!?!?!
    omg shes a weird one, lol
    wth is wrong with her, theres a difference in being inspired and copying, some one tell it to her!



  82. 82

    Beyonce looks horrible in that leotard



  83. 83

    That's upsurd perez. Choreographers That's ridiculous Perez. Choreographers have been inspired by Fosse for YEARS. And as far as “copying” Fosse, she wouldn’t be the first. Since it is such a distinct style of dance, there are very distinct moves that are always used. I didn’t see her taking her moves step for step from that video. It’s Beyonce’s choreographer’s interpretation of the Fosse style. And anyway, isn’t that what all art is in some sense? Taking something old, reinventing it, and making it new again? I say good job to Beyonce, for integrating some real classic dancing into her act. It’s a breath of fresh air.



  84. 84

    I thought "stop the H8" was your motto Perez…

    She said in an interview that this Bob Fosse mashup was def the inspiration for the video and did it to pay homage to Fosse's work. Stop the H8 man.



  85. 85

    OMg Perez, I normally agree with you. But on this one I don't.
    Almost Everything in the music is recycled.
    Same thing with Robyn's video and Kylie's video when their in a box. You didn't say anything about that.



  86. 86

    to the stupid person and said Jay-Z waz f-n rihanna iz so stupid.let me tell you she aint out and you lovin it cause you put her in the top spot!(thank you) do you have anything better to do with your time than hate, god bless the haters of america.Beyonce iz not fat trust me I know cuse im 12 years old and im thick to. In case you havent noticed your man likes hips and thighs cause he called us and told us. If Beyonce was readin this im sure she could get someone to murder you right now.but thank God she saved, you lucky bastard.you know you love her but you think its cool to hate so you dont say it(includin Perez Guilty of Hatin) You have her poster under your bed that you kiss everynight before your mom tucks you in.so if you would either love it or dont look.
    Sincerely,
    A Pissed off Beyonce Fan



  87. 87

    yo momma said to come back in from the store with that Hatorade before the street lights come on.
