Beyonce’s Billboard Music Awards performance of “Run The World (Girls)” had everyone talking. However, many people felt as if they’d see it before – and for good reason.

Italian dancer, singer and actress Lorella Cuccarini put on a very similar performance in 2010. Among the similarities? The large bird wings, the interactive screen (in which both ladies “play” with geometric shapes, like squares, circles and a spear), the multiplication of themselves to create an “army” of dancers, the use of rainbow colors, etc.

However, before people jump to conclusions, according to Concrete Loop, the same artist (Kenzo Digital) and production company (Tribe Inc Design) created the graphics and concept for both ladies’ performances. Why they would use the same exact concept for two different artists is beyond us.

Watch the side-by-side comparison below! Is it stealing or inspiration?
