Okay but then really, if you still like the video and understand the cultural references, then it was hardly worth mentioning the one scene that you didn't like the way in which she referenced a certain part of popular culture. It certainly didn't warrant you saying 'Beyonce strikes again! Total rip off!' The scene mentioned hardly has actual choreography, there's not much "Beyonce" that she can put into a reference where literally, all she has to do is pull one side of her shirt down, pull down both sides of the shirt and then run her hands through her hair.

I swear this forum turns me into a bigger stan than I actually even am. I do like people besides Beyonce, not that I have a chance to post about it as all I tend to read are random attempts at shade for her.

But this was exactly what I didn't like.The fact that it was a rip-off.But I admit that there weren't many things that she could add.I still think the similarities are a bit TOO much for a tribute.Anyway, my shade is not random (check youtube, it's a mess there.People are talking about her getting sued ), I just expressed my opinion about those 25 seconds.Oh and btw, forums and blogs are supposed to work that way.The more you defend someone the more attached you become to him/her as an artist But if she does herself a favour and gets on a hiatus, then I won't be bashing her anymore (why would I?), so you'll have to keep your stan attitude going without my help
