A leading choreographer has accused Beyoncé of "stealing" dance moves, after the American singer launched her latest music video.
According to entertainment website AceShowbiz.com, choreography in the video for Beyoncé's new single Countdown, released last week, shows a number of similarities with work by the Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Speaking to a Danish blog, De Keersmaeker said she had not been asked permission: "I didn't know anything about this. I'm not mad, but this is plagiarism."
Beyoncé has not responded to the allegations, but her co-director, Adria Petty, has previously spoken about showing the singer footage of European contemporary dance for inspiration. She told MTV News: "I brought Beyoncé a number or references and we picked some out together. Most were German modern dance references, believe it or not."
It is the second time Beyoncé has been accused of plagiarism this year, after choreography and visual effects for her performance of Run the World (Girls) at the Billboard Music awards in May was likened to one by Lorella Cuccarini. In that instance, Beyoncé subsequently admitted having been inspired by Cuccarini.
近日,美國(guó)天后碧昂斯新單曲《Countdown》MV曝光,而有著名編舞家德·吉爾斯梅克可指控碧昂斯抄襲自己的舞步。
上周發(fā)布在AceShowbiz.com娛樂(lè)網(wǎng)站的碧昂斯最新單曲《Countdown》MV對(duì)比,確實(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)和比利時(shí)著名編舞家德-吉爾斯梅克舊作有不少相似之處。德·吉爾斯梅克在博客上聲明:“我毫不知情,我并不因?yàn)榇耸聭嵟牵@絕對(duì)是抄襲。”
碧昂斯并未回應(yīng)此事,但是她的MV導(dǎo)演Adria Petty早前就透露靈感源自歐洲現(xiàn)代舞,并稱(chēng)和碧昂斯一起參考挑選,大部分參考的是德國(guó)現(xiàn)代舞。
這位天后今年并非第一次被指抄襲。碧昂斯在今年的Billboard音樂(lè)大獎(jiǎng)中,碧昂斯曾借鑒意大利流行歌手洛蕾拉·庫(kù)卡里尼的表演,將其加入到《Run the World(Girls)》的表演中。事后,碧昂斯承認(rèn)借鑒了洛蕾拉·庫(kù)卡里尼的表演。
