The Beyonce Recycling Factory, Working Through The Holidays

Filed under: Madonna > Beyonce

CLICK HERE to watch Beyowulf's performance on last night's Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting of Ave Maria, a song off her new album.

Not only is the tune "inspired" by the classic song, but B's Ave Maria sounds a little TOO MUCH like Madonna's classic Promise To Try to be a coincidence!

    6. 6

      Wow.. You really couldn't say one positive word about this song?
      I love it, and I love her.
      We already know you love Madonna more than anyone, but you're not being fair right now.



    7. 7

      Shave your fukin pits, shit, fuck that fukin shit is so gross and stop dancing to that stupid song, coz your ass is way too big for that shit.



    8. 8

      I didn't know Madonna invented all music! There's a lot of songs that sound alike. Your Madonna obsession is getting out of control. Perezito!



    9. 9

      Ba-donk-ka-donk, bounce that booty on the BBD.



    10. 10

      YOU'RE A FUCKING NIMROD PEREZ HOW CAN A FUCKING SONG THAT'S OLDER SOUND LIKE A NEWER SONG! GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD OUTTA MADGE'S VADGE!



    11. 11

      It does sound very much alike. B can't do one original thing to save her life.

      Give me a fuckin' break! I'd rather listen to Beyonce on repeat than have to hear one of Madonna's songs. I loved Beyonce's Ave Maria; it was beautiful and so is she.



    14. 14

      Perez you such a HATER..BEYONCE is extremely talented. she worked her ass off HER WHOLE LIFE to get to wehre she is..BEYONCE U DO UR THING..LOVE U!



    15. 15

      it does sound alot like promise to try but that song was inspired by alot of songs from kate bush but i love promise to try and i hate this song its one of the only songs of her new album that i don`t like



    16. 16

      I'd be more impressed if this ghetto bitch woulda sang it in Latin, instead of ruining one of the most beautiful songs in history by "trying" it in English.
      Beyonce Knowles is such a lazy talentless hack.
      Also, since when did she become such a fucking diva that she doesn't feel the need to use her last name?
      Her and her sister solange can suck a big fat dick….NEITHER one of them can sing for SHIT!



    17. 17

      PEREZ YOUR A IDIOT "AVE MARIA" WAS ALREAY A CLASSIC SONG
      EVERYONE HAS COVERED IT JUST GOOGLE IT!
      BEYONCE HAS THE # 1 SONG AND THE # 3 SONG IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW
      "SINGLE LADIES IS # 1 ON THE HOT 100
      "IF I WERE A BOY"IS THE # 3 SONG ON THE HOT 100
      "SINGLE LADIES IS # 1 ON THE R&B/HIPHOP CHART

      "IF I WERE A BOY " IS THE # 1 SONG IN THE WORLD"

      NOW ASK YA FAVORITE ARTIST TO TELL ME SOMETHING
      ********************WHERE YA BOSS AT?!********************************************

      BEYONCE HAS EVERY REASON TO FEEL LIKE SHE'S THAT BIT(H!

      BECAUSE SHE IS THE # 1 DIVA IN THIS GAME

      SHE HAS MORE # 1 SINGLES IN THIS DECADE THAN ANY OTHER ARTIST IN THE GAME PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    18. 18

      Chop your ears off. Dont know a thing about music! You moron.



    19. 19

      VERY VERY SIMILAR ARRANGEMENTS………..

      MADONNA's "PROMISE TO TRY" is so vulnerable….makes you wanna' cry….

      Beyonce's shit makes you wanna' cry for how horrible it is.



    20. 20

      I love Beyonce but all the stealing, borrowing, etc is getting OLD! She has too much talent and too many talented people around her to not be more creative and unique. There is nothing wrong with taking inspiration but she does it so blatantly. For instance, with her Fosse inspired "Single Ladies" music video. That would have been a great idea had the video not been a huge Youtube smash in the previous year. Take inspiration from something old but not something that has already been reborn recently.



    21. 21

      OMG totally , Beyonce is sucha copy cat , but still good singer

    22. meme says – reply to this


      22

      Sounds more like the music from the song Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright - a beautiful song that they played it in shrek.



    23. 23

      Re: PATFIELDS – Uhm no one's against Beyonce's success but actually you're the idiot "Promise to Try" isn't an Ave Maria cover, Beyonce's song is more like a mash-up between Ave Maria and Promise to Try. Do your homework bitch!



    24. 24

      Perez Hates Me ^^



    25. 25

      i bet she really smells. like nasty putrid smells.



    26. 26

      The only true recycling factory is Madonna. I think she invented recyling….songs, videos, photo shoots, you name it. I've never seen her do anyting original. She's such an imitation of a woman, must be why the gays like her so much.



    27. 27

      Re: antiperesite – And also Rihanna is also the female artist with more no.1's this decade but in a shorter period of time. And Madonna has more no.1 singles than Beyonce.



    28. 28

      Woeful - no authenticity here - she's pretty and talented but why oh why does she always dress like drag queen - the queen of OTT



    29. 29

      Everyone needs to stop hating Beyonce. She is a real talent!

    30. tinny says – reply to this


      30

      Wtf, they don't sound the same! Are you just trying to find things wrong with this song? Wow they are both slow songs with piano YUP SHE IS COPYING MADONNA ALRIGHT.



    31. 31

      Re: moviebuff – I know where you read that you know that website manipulated many of Madonna's info, I read then in a Madonna hater blog where he said that he knew that many of it wasn't true but he liked to make it look like it's true. So sad there's a lot of people out there dedicating their lives to difamation.



    32. 32

      her dress, hair, makeup are gross



    33. 33

      this song gave me goosebumps - i loved it - you are meeeean



    34. 34

      RE: Ferozciousrice aka Perez Hilton aka fat jackass! Beyonce has more #1 songs than Rihanna. Rihanna: SOS, Umbrella, Take a bow, and Disturbia. Live your life with TI doesn't count because it's not her song. If you want to count that you'd have to count all the songs Beyonce did with Destiny's Child. Beyonce: Crazy in Love, Baby boy, Irreplaceable, Check on it, and Single Ladies. Last time I checked 5 is more than 4. Madonna's old ass had almost 15 year head start on B. of course she has more #1s.



    35. 35

      it does sound like promise to try…..
      .
      .
      does the album version sound like that??



    36. 36

      Wanna know why Perez (aka the fat azz with big azz head) hates Beyonce? Because he can't hurt her. No matter how hard the disses her she continues to succeed. It's like she makes him realize just how insignificant he is!



    37. 37

      Since the vote, on this site, proved that Kanye Bitchass West was wrong about Beyonce being the incarnation of the Uber-Superstar & Legend that is Tina Turner….less posting about the boring Beyonce and her ugly-ass husband would make the Holidays much more pleasant.



    38. 38

      Too much Beyonce hate! Where are the Taylor Swift can't sing live posts?



    39. 39

      Beyonce is such a hack, the song reminds to much of promise to try to be a coincidence! What a talentless looser, stop making music if you can´t do anything original!



    40. 40

      terribleeeeee



    41. 41

      And how the F*** can Perez Hilton criticize someone when he made a career by ripping off Paris Hilton's name. Your name is Mario you fat f*** lol



    42. 42

      Re: Furburger With Slice Of Pu$$y Pie – The vote was rigged. I mean really, did you expect fairness from the cheeseburger mafia?



    43. 43

      Beyonce shake off these colorless haters. They can't stand to see a beautiful BLACK woman with talent like you. Esepcially when they have to look at thier fallen stars ahem… Shitney Spears try to even match you in talent. You have a powerful voice, write your own music, can dance and sing AT THE SAME TIME (unlike some others ahem. Shitney Spears).

      You are not a crackhead, a bad mother or a alcoholic like all of their pathetic loser starrs are. That is why they hate on you.

      beyonce knocks all of your sorry little non talented pop tarts that these haters admire. That is why they hate you. Cause their pathetic fallen starts CANT BE YOU!

      VIVA BEYONCE!



    44. 44

      Beyonce is the BADDEST out there and all you sorry azz haters KNOW IT. All you can do is tear beyonce down because your pathetic pop "stars" are all has beens with no talent.

      Britney can NEVA match beyonce. That horrible mother of two and crackhead has never written her own damn songs. She dances like she is counting every step and she can't even sing live.

      And as far as Madonna goes. That wrinkled faced ugly hag could never hold a tune like Beyonce. That is why she dances around like a freak to make up for the fact she cannot sing. Anyone would would dare think Madonna can hold a tune to beyonce is crazy. And why the hell would beyonce wanna copy some old ugly wrinkled faced hag White woman when she is a YOUNG beautiful golden colored talent?

      PLEASE HATERS!



    45. 45

      This takes me back to that Madonna documentary when she's at the cemetery visiting her mothers grave.

      I never would have thought a Beyonce song would do that!



    46. 46

      Re: NorwegianChick – Re: NorwegianChick –
      hahahhahaha!! Look at all the flat azzed hoes running off at the mouth. What's the matter huh? When you see a beautiful Blk woman with such GREAT talent you squirm and get all uncomfy don't ya. Makes you feel inadequate huh? Hahahahahahaaa!!

      White women are so pathetic. Can't stand to see a Blk woman outshine you or any of your pathetic has been stars.

      Beyonce makes all the White women feel uncomfy b/c she is so beautiful, talented and confident about herself. And white men hate on her b/c they could NEVER pull a beautiful Blk woman like beyonce. hell not even the ugly Blk women want a white man. lol lol lol



    47. 47

      MADONNA sucks! All that ugly wrinkled faced hag has done her entire career (to make up for her lack of real talent) is use extreme controvery tactics to stay in the limelight. i guess that is what you have to do when you lack talent. Do all kinds of crazy ish to keep your name out there like Madonna has.

      Beyonce doesn't have to do all that shyt like become a crackhead, act like a whore and sleep around with men and do nasty shyt on stage (like maddonna) or act like Maddonna did in her day to get noticed for her talents.

      She is a beautiful, hard working non controvesy driven artist who gets noticed simply on her beauty and talent.

      Haters hate on what they cannot be or claim. Beyonce is ours to claim and you haters are just mad b/c she knocks all your PEEPS outta the damn box!



    48. 48

      OMG, you can criticise this, but big-up Britney Spears and Rihanna?! Makes no sense whatsoever…



    49. 49

      OMG Thank you Perez for further proving what a GREAT talent & beauty Beyonce is. OMG she sang the HELL out of that beautiful song SHE WROTE. Its amazing how she can go from being a hardcore dancing and singing diva (like single ladies) to a very classy song and prescence like this. THAT is true talent. She looked stunning as well. i cannot think of any other major "star" out there now that can sing OR dance or have the reputation beyonce has. The girl is TOP A all the way.

      DO YOUR THING BEY!!!! You woulnd't have haters if you weren't the BADDEST one on the block sweetie! You'll be around a LOOOONG time and the haters will eventually learn to love THE BEST. They have no choice cause all thier HAS BEENS can't even keep up with you!



    50. 50

      BEYONCE IS WAAAAYYY BETTER THEN MADONNA. MADONNA IS OLD. ONLY OLD PEOPLE LIKE HER MUSIC STILL.

      AND WHOEVER IS TALKN SHIT ABOUT BEYONCE'S BODY MUST BE JELOUS. SHE'S ABLE TO DO ALL THOSE DANCE MOVES WHILE ACTUALLY SINGING LIVE! AND SHE ALWAYS SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL!



    51. 51

      Re: candyfox1984 –

      Perez is jealous of beyonce b/c he wishes he was born her. He will big up any TRASHY non talented loser before giving beyonce credit. The only conclusion to draw from this is PUUUUUURE jealousy. And all Perez stans (like the idiots on this thread hating on her) have that same problem.

      You see BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED Black women with great reputations seems to make everyone feel inadequate and uncomfy about themselves. Beyonce has a way of doing that with her beauty talent and reputation. Oh well. momma always said Birds will only pick at the BEST fruit.



    52. 52

      Re: valerie87 –

      AMEN SISTER! Don't you just love how bey can go from being a jam hard diva (like her song single ladies where she tears shyt up dancing and singing) to something like this. DAMN that woman is BAAAAD!



    53. 53

      thats a little bit of a stretch. I would never compare the 2 songs.



    54. 54

      are u kidding me??? cum on pizzle sticks…i kno u dont like this woman, but she delivered this performance in 38 degree weather, and these are the vile comments u provoked…. she's better than that u kno it… and the "recycling"… seriously how original are u… get off her a little….



    55. 55

      Look…she did a great job last night, even if she did lip synch the whole song but it is a beautiful song and it is based on an old classic…NOT Madonna…



    56. 56

      Beyonce has let herself go, she is looking like a fat heffer nowadays, i used to think she was so hot back a few yrs

    57. AyanW says – reply to this


      57

      eww Perez, you're a hater!



    58. 58

      Seriously Prez? That's all you could come up with? Try again. This is an amazing song if you listen to the words. It could be used for your faith in a higher being, your significant other, or a close family member that you look to for guidance and support. Listen to it thoroughly a few times and get back to us.



    59. 59

      Not at all a fan of Beyonce but the song was absolutely beautiful. It actually brought a tear to my eye.



    60. 60

      Whatever at least she sings better than Madonna.



    61. 61

      All nasty comments aside, regardless of who you prefer or who you like best, there is absolutely no question that the beginning parts of the verses is the EXACT melody of "Promise to Try", and there is massive grounds for a lawsuit. You can't just go do that. It's blatant!



    62. 62

      DAMN Beyonce could never do nothing right…FUCK ALL U HATERS!!!

      That what u call talent!



    63. 63

      she did awesome and her song is many times better than madonna's and she didn't steal it there completely different message but similar melody u need to hop off beyonce's ass and get a life we all know u love her



    64. 64

      Is it me or does Perez & most of his readers hate Beyonce. I cant remember the last time i read a positive article about her on this site. Funny how he love K.Perry, Britney S. and so many other untalented artist yet a artist who sing live at every performance she gives he cant stand. She is inspired by alot of other artist from songs to fashion but everyone does. I think it is more racial because Beyonce is more R&B than Pop and Perez Hilton And His readers could care less about that genre.



    65. 65

      Re: LettyB Thanks All Her Fans! – Um, because she took an old song and re-created it. And have you heard "Promise to Try" or the original version of Ave Maria? Perez has a point, Miss negativity.



    66. 66

      Madonna is not the first one to use that melody,,,and it doesnt even sound that much close to ave marie



    67. 67

      rrrrrrrippp offffff



    68. 68

      Aye, shut up, Perez! I checked that video and it sounds nothing like 'Promise To Try'. Only the first part - a little bit - then it fades to a different tune. The performance was amazing, Bey!



    69. 69

      youre such a fukin hater. madonna will NEVER sing like beyonce, SORRRYY. this i s already a song, so how is she copying madonna? you're a biased idiot. BEYONCE IS SO FUKIN TALENTED. i cant believe how many haters visit your website!



    70. 70

      Re: harrybalsac – hafuckinha.



    71. 71

      I cannot stand listening to her, just like mariah carey.

      SHE MAKES MY EARS BLEED.



    72. 72

      How is it that she's able to make so much money off of copying other artist.

      Go Perez, Put her or any copycats' ass on blast.

    73. HilC says – reply to this


      73

      I don't really think they sound the same… And "Promise to Try" is clearly a tribute to Madonna's mother.. I don't think Beyonce would rip off such a personal song.



    74. 74

      Re: Blk Beauty – just so you know I'm white & I LOVE Beyonce'!!!!!!!! Gorgeous talented & like you said she can sing and dance at the same time (no lip syncing required) I don't understand all the hate?!?!?! & I don't hear the similarities in the songs at all. I guess I'm tone deaf? Oh wait its b/c Perez and his followers are up Madonnas Vajayjay



    75. 75

      Re: acmb78 – uhhhhhhmmmm ITS WAS OBVIOUS THAT SHE SANG THAT LIVE WTF WERE YOU WATCHING!?!?!??! If you cant tell the difference than my dear you are seriously slow. I feel bad for you



    76. 76

      Beyonce is the greatest and Madonna can't even sing! shes just a overrated muscle freak who doesnt give a shit bout anyone but herself!… Beyonce rocks no matter what some fat whore says, Rihanna the one who sucks azz



    77. 77

      I LOVED IT…it was so amazing ..gave me chills…. quit hating



    78. 78

      I think that you all are some haters she is the baddest B in the game. She has the hottest marriage and I think that anyone who dosen't like her dosen't like themselves because she is the most humble celebrity that I have ever known. You never hear anything bad about her. Perez she dosen't have to talk about her relationship with Jay-Z if she dosen't want to that is her business and people like you is why she won't talk about it. And if that is the only reason that you don't like her then you need to look within yourself and figure out the issues that u need to deal with inside of you. She is a beautiful person and a wonderful singer and when you get that big you will always have the haters.



    79. 79

      this onion pit whore needs to bolt! her voice causes me panic attacks and no amount of jay z cock gobbling is gonna ever throttle her tonsils enough to fix that warbling excuse for ear damage!



    80. 80

      Re: PATFIELDS – stupid fool don't tarnish pat's name, first try working or collaborating with pat before you take the name..tsk tsk



    81. 81

      WTF??? Perez Hilton aka the fat smuggler ripped off Paris Hilton's name and her signature color (Pink) and he's always talking about Beyonce and Mariah Carey being unoriginal?? What kind of sh** is that???

She is the QUEEN of music right now to me she is better that any female artist right now and she has the hottest man in the game to nobody can touch them right now all artist hate when they come out with a album because that means there record sells are going to drop.
