ABC’s Exclusive Performance, Not Exclusive?
When is an exclusive not an exclusive? No, it’s not a riddle. The answer is simple — when everybody has the very same story or image or film. ABC had acquired the exclusive broadcast of President Barack Obama’s first dance with Michelle at the Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration, which was the first ball that the new First Couple attended.
With Grammy-winner Beyonce singing “At Last” just for them, the two danced alone together on stage. However, ABC’s first dance exclusive ended up on other networks.
The network reportedly paid $2 million for the exclusive images of the Prez and First Lady looking very much like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (you know, white tie and tails, gorgeous, flowing gown), but it didn’t work out that way.
After other press pleaded with the network for footage of the President’s speech, ABC agreed to share. However, instead of just running Obama’s words, including comments about how great Michelle looked (and she did), all three cable news channels took some liberties with the feed and showed the dancing, too.
ABC is ticked off, according to insiders, but what can it do about it now? It sounds rather naive on its part to assume that in this day and age of everybody copping everybody else’s rights that in this instance, the other channels wouldn’t use the tape. Of course, if the others had, they could have seen Michelle and Barack dancing to “At Last” at nine other inauguration balls! They danced all night long. ABC with Beyonce’s vocal was just the first and the best.

"Telephone" is the latest single by Lady GaGa featuring Beyonce. The track is featured on GaGa's sophomore album: The Fame Monster. The unbelievable duo shot the video with GaGa's mindset on it being a pop culture phenomenon. Beyonce and Lady GaGa star in the song's 9 minute-long spectacle of a video shot in January 2010.
Alicia Keys brings her long-time friend Beyonce on her 3rd single and fan-favorite song "Put It In A Love Song." Together they sing about how someone needs to write a song to confess their love for someone. Beyonce's own famous track is played around in that way. The music video for the new hit track was filmed in Brazil in February 2010.

idiot, please shut up! we all know that rihanna is a retarded version of Beyonce!

yeah Bri, u do need to shut up. i’m pretty sure it’s the other way around. rihanna always copying things Beyonce does, she’s been doing that since the beginning. rihanna will never be Beyonce either and Beyonce has no reason to copy her (i’m pretty sure she made that $80 million empire w/o rihanna’s help). if u were a real beyonce fan, u wouldn’t of said something stupid like that.
and what does that have to do with this story anyway?

Bri I just want you to think for a minute ok! you gonna see pics of Bee & rih wearing the same thing or doing the same moves or something like that & somebody is gonna come & tell you that Bee is copying rih but wait a second it can be the other way around i can came & show you the same pics & tell you that rih is copying Bee! I guess you get my point & is that it’s not about the pics it’s about who did it first & if you do a little research you will find that it’s bee who did all those thing first! so you know who is copying who!
