Beyonce + Fosse = I'm not sure if this is WTF or awesome.

[revieloutionne]

So. I was a little hinky at Beyonce when she totally ripped off the Rich Man's Frug* from Sweet Charity for her one video**, which steals more from the look of the scene than the dance itself. Then she took this*** Fosse routine Gwen Verdon did and turned it into this**** which, despite having an entirely different look visually, has the dance which is still very clearly inspired by the Fosse. Do I despise her for messing with classics or, since she has apparently been completely open about the inspiration in both cases, enjoy that she's fangirling a choreographer who is very worth it, and bringing his dance aesthetic to an audience who might never have seen it? I don't knooooooow!
