Beyonce Says She Was Inspired By Lorella Cuccerini For Billboard Awards Performance


People have kinda been accusing her of copying Italian pop star Lorella for her innovative performance at the Billboard awards, but Bey says didn't copy, she was only inspired by it.

Beyonce tells AOL
"My makeup artist showed me the performance of Lorella Cuccarini a year ago, and it inspired me so much. I then met with the talented people who worked on it. The technology and concept were so genius. Thank God for YouTube or I would have never been exposed to something so inspiring. I never worked so hard on anything in my life as that performance for the Billboard Awards."
Side by side video comparison of Beyonce's Billboard Music performance and a performance by Lorella Cuccarini from 2010 after the cut...

There are obvious similarities as well as differences.......that is the inspirations I guess. We all get inspiration from different sources of life don't we?

SO LONG AS THE SOURCE OF OUR INSPIRATION (GOD) NEVER RUNS DRY,I THINK IT'S OK FOR US TO GET INSPIRATION FROM ONE ANOTHER. NOTHING DO HER.

To be honest, Bee only admitted that she copied or was 'inspired' by Lorella. She only admitted it and kept it secret because the Media ousted her and made a big deal out of it.

She would have kept silent, had it not been exposed. That shows deceit in my opinion.
After all, she was very often about being inspired by Fela! So, why wasnt she open about this? This was an attempt to pass on someone's else idea or initiative as hers.

Beyonce is very successful , that's not in dispute, but she isnt original.
How many successful artists have been inspired by Beyonce? None! Becuase all she does is copy.lol.

She did perform very well though and I commend her for that.

Abeg Beyonce, what you are doing is copying every dick and harry you see. You are always inspired. Go and retire and stop lying to us that you are inspired by this and that when you are actually out of originality.

Inspired my back-foot. More like copy. She is not original and is so overrated. She only commented on this because she was caught in the act.
I used to be a hardcore fan of Beyonce but now, I can;t stand her rubbish.

She should have kukuma performed naked because this outfit na waya lol. I have never been a Beyonce fan not during her days in Destiny's Child or as a solo artist. I respect her hustle, she is talented but her voice or songs are not spectacular. She is a machine, not better than a performing animal in a circus act and please don't jump down my throat, I am not calling her an animal, just comparing what she does to what a well trained tiger in a circus would do, perform as told, nothing more nothing less.

She has no personality, dead behind the eyes, no clear stands on any real issues, she always looks like a deer caught in headlights during interviews as if waiting for someone to hold up the answers from behind the camera, she is just about making the money for her herself and her handlers, point blank period.

I wouldn't exchange my life for her for all of her money. Who want to live that type of life even if it's in the lap of luxury?

Beyonce stans kill me!!!..This woman is a thief period..She did same before lying that she wrote irreplaceable until neyo called her out, then she stole if i were a boy and the single ladies routine video *sigh* when will she do something by herself? and her crazy fans try to pass her off as original? Delusional much

@ anon 2.18pm

this is anon 12:57, in response, you are very daft. a deranged beyonce fan that cant differenciate fanatic razzle dazzle from facts.

she made her money mostly from copying and duping artists etc,and calls it 'inspiration' when she's caught. it is well known and covered up.
one is allowed to state such about the 'beloved' beyonce without HATING, you moron. Hater is over used and abused by ignoramouses such as your self, face the truth and stop jumping on d bandwagon of beyonce as if you know her well well. idiot, like i didnt know she had money and was married to jay - z. how we all get to our various levels of success is different and mine was not through cheating. if thats her game fine but am not going to be vibrating because of her based on that unlike your deluded self. how about get inspiration from yourself? daft cow. na you go follow prostitutes and druggies. Anuofia!
