Beyonce's recent performance at the Billboard Music Awards has been accused of copying an Italian singer.
The singer was praised after she debuted new single 'Run The World (Girls)' at the ceremony in Las Vegas on Sunday (May 22)
But she has now been accused of basing her stage show, which incorporated a white effects screen, on a past performance by Italian singer Lorella Cuccarini.
You can see the pair's separate performance in the comparison video below.
'Run The World (Girls)' is the first single to be taken from Beyonce's new album '4', which is due to be released in June.
