R&B singer Beyoncé declares she was inspired by Belgian choreographer Ann Teresa de Keersmaeker for the choreography of her last video Countdown. Ofcourse we are all inspired by others and there is nothing wrong with that. In the end everything is stardust and we are all drawn to the same cosmic consciousness. But still.. copying the exact same moves, with the exact same clothes, in an almost exact same location can hardly be called 'inspiration'. Too bad we little Belgians noticed..
With all due respect B and her team turned something beautiful, a real artwork into.. well a cheesy R&B video.. They don't really catch the subtle emotions needed. One thing must be said: Beyoncé, or at least her choreographer, has some good taste. Always better to get your moves from a master than from let's say a cheerleader team.
I've been a fan of Ann Teresa de Keersmaeker's work for a long time now. It hits me right in the solar plexus, every time.. Have a look at the real deal, it's truly amazing:
