Hey guys, I just watched Beyonce's video for Sweet Dreams, and towards the end she was wearing a golden leotard-like thingy and golden arm braces. Is it just a coinicdence that Lady GaGa seems to be wearing the (almost exact) same thing in her music video for Paparazzi? And not only did Beyonce do the golden outfit, but on the cover for the single she uses the same font as Lady GaGa uses on her "The Fame" album cover. Coincidence? Beyonce's video was released on July 9, 2009, GaGa's was released June 4th, about a whole month later. And after GaGa made her video, and about 8 or 9 months after making The Fame, Beyonce makes this video... Coincidence or did somebody copy somebody?? Tell me what you guys think... GaGa~Vampyr **EDIT** Here are some pics: BEYONCE-- dresslikebeyonce.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/beyonce-sweet-dreams-music-video.jpgGAGA-- upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Paparazzi_-_Music_video_-_Crutches_scene.jpgGaGa~Vampyr |

Yeah - I noticed that too. Although the outfits are noticeably different, Beyonce did use a similar piece first, at BET in 07:  I'm not sure Gaga copied it, just took inspiration from this. But about the font - it's exactly the same. I dont know why, maybe just a commercialised font? Honestly, I never really liked Beyonce, she never stood out in my mind as a great singer of 'our' time, but Lady Gaga stands out - thats all that matters!  |

2 things:
1- Im not saying GaGa copied Beyonce, im saying (if anything) its the other way around.
and 2- I'm only talking about Beyonce's outfit in the music video. Beyonce possibly could have gotten inspired by GaGa in whatever performance that was in the pictures you posted, but im talking about the video(s) in particular.

Beyonce has used a "robot" metal costume in her video Interlude on tour since it began...in APRIL. It just so happens this video interlude is to the song, Sweet Dreams......... www.youtube.com/watch?v=43WMfvciGdwBeyonce also had all of her Tour Costumes designed by the one and only Thierry Mugler. The piece she is wearing in the Sweet Dreams video is one of his creations............. Trying to prove Beyonce copied Lady Gaga....FAIL. |

I think Gaga takes most inpiration from top designers, and it just so happened an iconic designer who she took inspiration from creates pieces for Beyonce. It was an intentional 'copy', but I think Lady Gaga likes to be experimental.

Neither one copied the other ... they (or their stylist/custom designers) took insperation from the Maria character in Fritz Lang's 1920s movie Metropolis. www.firstshowing.net/img/metropolis-dvd-cover.jpgBut let's face in, no one is really original anymore ... everything/one is inspired from something else in the past. Marilyn Manson made a comment once that was something to the effect of 'there's been one original book, movie, song, and play and everything since it's an interpretation of that." It's all about who can take that inspiration and interpret in a unique way. I like Lady Gaga, and Beyonce (the first more then the latter) but I wouldn't say either one is horrible originally, but very good at marketing themselves and their artist vision. |

Forgetting all the 'copycat' stuff, I think both songs are great catchy tunes ;D - who cares about the video outifts?
