Beyoncé's new album is called I Am...

[Luv ~Venus~]

^I'm sorry but I DOUBT Beyonce has ever seen a Kylie concert nor heard her music. PLUS Kylie isn't the 1st to do something like that. As for the Britney thing, what PERFORMANCE are you talking about. As far as I know, none of Beyonce's performances closley matched Brit's performances. AND C'MON! Ciara luffs Beyonce and admires her. If anything CIARA was the one who copied her. I'm sorry but you really need to give me true proof of your claim because it seems to me that you are biased. Beyonce is as original as they come.

[Melrose]

Yea I was agreeing with you, not being sarcastic. Someone I know said that too a few days ago lol.

What a funny coincidence!

[DOLCE]

Ciara's like a boy was relased in 2006...how did she copy Beyonce?

Also here's the Kylie/Beyonce thing. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...eoID=11766992v
If Kylie wasn't the first to do a perf like that, I'd like to see a video of it please

Oh and the Britney thing, it isn't really major just the intro to the perfs are the same. Referring to her Me Against the Music perf at the Ameriacan music awards.

I'm not sure why you said I'm biased too..when I like Beyonce way more than Kylie, and if Destinys Child stuff is included even more than Britney.

Anyway I won't try and convince you anymore that Beyonce is unoriginal, if you feel so strongly that she isn't then go on right ahead

[Luv ~Venus~]

^I'm sorry but that is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. What ARTIST doesn't have a pv of them running through a grass field? I guess Ayu copied Britney's Sometimes pv by having a pv of her on the beach dancing? AND C'MON?!?!?!?! Artists are ALWAYS caught wearing the same thing. IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE! Plus, J.Lo is wearing a one-strap dress. Beyonce is wearing a two-strap dress. They just happen to have the same colored dress.

Your proof = FAIL!

[AyumiBest]

I really wanna see the cover now. XD

[Lchang_87]

I agree, i used to like her like 5-6 years ago, but then i saw her singing live and i said WTF she can't sing man. THIS WASN'T SAID TO MAKE PPL ANGRY OR ANYTHING, JUST MY TOUGHTS!!!!!!!!

For example that robot performance she did at the BET awards (07 I think) was a ripoff of Kylie Minogue. Her 06 VMA performance was a ripoff of Britney..and just look at her latest song If I Were a Boy. CIARA ANYONE? So many more examples

i have to say that i'm glad that there's no more Destinys Child, not because i didn't like their music, i really loved it, it's just that Beyonce was AAAAALWAYS in the centerpoint and like "look at me i'm the best, these 2 r just 4 show, don't pay attention to them" and she was like that in both the videos/performances and in the vocal/singing part, so yeah.... that's why i don't like Beyonce much

[emi♡]

^aww I liked the one on the...right? The really pretty one. I think she was prettier than beyonce...but anyway...

this thread is hilarious. we should talk about american music more often.

[freedreamer]

LOl thats cool

[TITANIC]

uwhh

it's OK.. I cant imagine if she made similar cover like I Am...

[Minttulatte]

I am... is a very common title for an album or a song. I don't see any copying from Ayu. :p

But still, when I think of it, I remember seeing this music video of some song where Sean Paul was with Beyonce. I don't remember the songs name, but that does remind me a little of Kuu's songs. Especially SHAKE IT somehow. :p And there are few other songs' music videos too, that remind me of Kuu's songs. I just don't remember what they were called.

But I have always hated Beyonce, and Destiny's Child. What bothers me most is her voice. It just... bothers me. I don't know why. o.O And I won't start listening to her just because she likes my two favourite artists. That's just stupid. :p

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

This is a ridiculous thread, but I just wanna put two cents in.

I like how everyone says "I am..." is a common name for a song/album. EVERYONE who believed this is essentially wrong. The elipsis ("...") makes a huge difference (as can be seen here). Not the greatest reference, but there are a total of three cited albums with the elipsis, and that's it. All others don't involve that punctuation, thus making it essentially different.

The concept itself is common, but the elipsis isn't. At least there are pretty good breaks (1999, 2002, 2008) inbetween, so it's not too bad.

[kendelle]

I didn't know she listens to Ayu...that's pretty cool

I've always kind of liked Beyonce's songs but I wouldn't class myself as a big fan or anything. It's funny how she's calling it "I Am..." and leaving the dots on at the end. I wonder what the tracklist will be like?

Hopefully she doesn't do a similar cover like Shakira's Oral Fixation! It looks so similar to I Am... (the Ayu version, haha).

[aqua_crystal]

Are you serious?? Her new album is called I Am....???? That's sorta weird. O_o

LMAO! I guess she was being honest when she said she liked ayu and koda kumi. I always thought that statement was fishy and like she was just trying to gather japanese ppl's attention by faking that she actually had some interest in their music.

i can bet that if you were to ask beyonce about Ayu or Kuu right now, she would be like "What are you talking about? Who's that?".

i think she said she liked them only to get more attention by the japanese fans.

[rusuke]

Yeah!!! I agree.. People get interested to the things that are related or just plainly when ayu's name is involved on them.
