Johnny Gill is giving Beyoncé major props for her video "Love on Top."
What some artists call plagiarism, Johnny considers a tribute.
When Bey debuted "Love on Top," many people immediately thought of New Edition's "If It Isn't Love" music video. Both videos were set in a dance studio; both videos starred a boy band, and they each featured high-energy dance moves.
"How cool was that?" Johnny asked S2S after having watched "Love on Top." "That was so cool."
Johnny thinks Bey and her backup dancers did a great job of capturing New Edition's essence. In his opinion, it's why she is one of the greatest living performers.
"There's no more Michael Jackson," said Johnny, "but I think she's a beast to begin with." Johnny told S2S that the world, although very taken with Beyoncé's command of the stage and studio, hasn't fully realized that she's a legend in the making.
He said, "It's such an honor to have someone who knew, and knows, her history and to be aware of where it all started."
I blame Matthew, she's in her feelings and is sabotaging the king's first independent era
No Matthew doesn't have that much power. It is just like the lessor stans claiming he was sabotaging them. He ain't shi.The pop radio are just into something else, but even that the fact that they don't even want to touch CD is just so weird. At the same time the era is basically non existent for radios so maybe that's why.
My point exactly, I've come to understand the rtw situation, but CD was getting spins before the adds date
