There has been lots of talk comparing Beyoncé’s performance of “Ring The Alarm” at the MTV VMA’s to Britney Spears’ “Me Against The Music” performance at the American Music Awards. After watching both performances again, I don’t see that many similarities except for the costumes and the fact that both artists descended to the stage on a rope. To say Beyoncé copied Britney is someone plotting to make something out of nothing. Britney is a talented dancer, but B did it way better AND she was actually singing. Here are the two videos. Judge for yourself.
