Beyonce is being accused of copying Italian pop star Lorella Cuccerini for her innovative American Music Awards performance. Beyonce says she didn't copy, she was inspired...
Beyonce tells AOL
"My makeup artist showed me the performance of Lorella Cuccarini a year ago, and it inspired me so much. I then met with the talented people who worked on it. The technology and concept were so genius. Thank god for YouTube or I would have never been exposed to something so inspiring. I never worked so hard on anything in my life as that performance for the Billboard Awards."
