They’re both way over-rated celebrities.

Agreed. Although "over-rated celebrities" is sort of a redundancy. "Over-rated" is obviously already implied with pop culture celebs.

:-o Was that for real? She didn’t even look out of breath. Paula Abdul - 56yo. Of course, she always could dance.

Beyoncé appropriated that stance from a Caucasian hooker on 42nd St. in NYC.

For all the loudmouths know, Taylor Swift apprenticed with that specific hooker.

I’m pretty sure neither Beyoncé or Swift are the first women to spread their legs for the entertainment of others.

Pulease. One looks like an empowered woman, the other looks like she wants more anal sex.

It isn’t same pose. I hate to tell Beyonce, but her “signature pose” is hardly unique. Like no one has ever stood like that before? Heck, I could stand like that if I wanted to, but I would look ridiculous.

It isn’t the same drum line. They drummers aren’t lined up the same way. The costumes are different. Beyonce’s has some horns in it.

So, we’re at the point that if a black person does something— anything— and a non-black does something similiar —or, in this case, barely similar — then it is “cultural appropriation”? Beyonce — and therefore, all blacks — have a copyright on this? I’m not even sure I would count Beyonce as culture, but that’s probably just the white man in me talking.

By the way, the trombone was invented in Europe. And how about that blonde hair she has?

You could say they both ripped off METROPOLIS, but Kylie Minogue did her tour 5 years before Beyonce did "Get me Bodied" (I think at the Billboards?). Everybody is ripping off someone else at this point.

If you don’t have low IQ you can’t enjoy pop culture, because vapidity of the lowest common denominator of shallow talent and shiny things can’t hold your interest.

When a black person speaks English is that cultural appropriation?

Swift’s entry was classier as opposed to Beyoncé who is trashier
