@SASSYO do you know what the meaning of feed off each vs copying actually means... copying in this stance mean to straight up steal from one like other ppl on this post are pointing out... feeding off each other means it is similair but with a little twist... clearly we all know ciara is ciara and beyonce is beyonce but at some points i can see some similarities between the two just like the rest of the normal sane ppl in this world... feeding off each other is not my sugarcoat word for copying cause if i want to she copy off someone I would just come out and say it... Now to educated the uneducated one on how the industry works!!!! Creative Force yea there people who are apart of the creative forces behind both of them but the actual BRAND is Beyonce and Ciara... They have more input in their careers, what you think is more like an new artists who hasn't establish theirselves yet.. But with Beyonce ten plus years and ciara ten years clearly they have right to their creative force and control, everything is run by them before it gets the greenlight.. for example clothing, hair styles, music, producer, directors, scripts, etc etc... The record companies has some say into the creative control but at the end result it is all Beyonce or Ciara...For example It was Beyonce creative thought to release her fifth studio effort with promo not the record companies... that is why Columbia couldn't give any info because it is Beyonce decision whether she want the public to know or not... Now as far as where I'm getting this "feeds off each other from" Both Beyonce and Ciara can said whether they want their videos to look like or not they director put some thoughts out there but at the end of the day establish artists had the final say... So when I said they feed off each other I'm simply saying they take bits and pieces from one another but add their ownb twist to it... Beyonce and Ciara both feed of Janet and Aaliyah along with Michael Jackson but it is okay cause it a form of flaterry and it shows the views ( like us) who inspired them and they the originator in talks... Now I'm done and have a blessed friday
