That's what I'm saying, just because they were listed as a influence doesn't mean the artists were clones. Did Travis capitalize on any trend set by Beyoncé?

Edited Post:

Perhaps Beyonce isn't a trendsetter because I don't see people trying to make the music that she makes. Beyonce just kinda does her own thing, and is recognized for it.


However, I think we can all agree that after the collaboration with Gaga (both of them), that a bit of Gaga's style rubbed off/influenced Beyonce's work (or perhaps the way she presented her work) just a bit. I am not suggesting that Beyonce copied Gaga (before you trolls try misconstruing my point). I am saying however that through working with Gaga, Beyonce took her work to another level that resembles the outlandishness that is also found in Gaga's work.

l mean let not act like "Baby Boy" wasnt an island song beyonce did while rihanna was in barbados.lf anything Rihanna followed Sean Paul's trend but her turn is not up yet.Or is it?
