She used Bey's dancer, she used one of her choreographer, and she hired her creative director, Kim Burse as soon as Beyoncé fired her. I think it's clear that she was inspired by Bey.
Not this non-sense again. Bey has been doing Crazy Horse/Cabaret themed performances since 2004 and has been doing the projection lighting over herself since 2007.
Not to mention
We can do this all night.
And there is this weird set of JLo stans that do entirely too much with the outfits/hairstyles. Yes, some looks were blatant influences which isn't really a surprise as JLo was one of the biggest fashion trendsetters in the early 2000s, but it seriously got to the point where Bey could wear a headband and a JLo stan would find a picture of JLo in a headband 3 years earlier and do a side by side. Just... over the top.
Anyway, DGAF how much deflecting is done, that was a blatant knock of the Partition visuals and staging. Not even really a bad thing, just poor timing considering how fresh those visuals were in people's minds being performed by Bey on a very recent award show as well as being all over national news all day for a bit when the video was released to YouTube. She could have at least let it air out a bit. Anyway, as a performer, Bey's influence is all over the place right now and it's easy to spot with so many up and comers getting shine now. Ariana stays serving heavy Bey aesthetics whenever she performs now, too. It's not surprising given Bey's current status as leader of the pack among current female performers.
Its more evident this time then when she ripped of Sasha Fierce its promo campaign.
I never knew about this
And I Luh You Papi's video was influenced by Bey's ***Flawless.
JLo is also one of the many pop girls who was influenced by Bey's rap-singing. Every since Love Don't Cost A Thing which sounds like a Destiny's Child track.
over the top.
