celeb news Olivia Rodrigo accused of stealing SNL performance concept

[kawk]

this dumb ass ***** really thinks she invented performing on table with an alice in wonderland theme 

[Lovett]

In the video she's specifically talking about the creative director, his behaviour on social media etc. and ATRL instead reframes it as Olivia being accused, with comments calling her a thief and perpetually unoriginal.  Why am I not surprised?

[Cain]

This is… not an original concept or camerawork whatsoever 

[chosensparkles]

Cause it’s a very original concept to begin with

[unclefloprry]

What do you expect from a faceless industry plant? 

 

thank lord for that sophomore slump

I really don’t think the parallels were that close after watching the TikTok but the unfollowing and blocking and is REALLY shady

[glitch]

The problem is the vast majority of Olivia's output is reductive and done before. She's going to continue to get comparisons like this until she does something a bit more original 

[ForgottenSoul]

how dumb are people this like table crazy eating thing has been a thing forever and just because someone else done it before doesnt mean you cant do it?

 

Even if they took inspiration from her.. her idea was not original either.

This. The cup lifting, semi-crawling onto the table and knife holding (though different movements) are the only similarities. As for the blocking and unfollowing, the person either just didn't want to deal with people's ****, or it is possible the performance was "inspired" by the music video, but neither were original to begin with.

it's not about an overdone concept, the side by side shows it's very similar, add the shady unfollows and comments disabling... well

[Dolce Vita]

these flop indie girls always get so brave acting like they invented these basic ass concepts

Anyone saying reach clearly didn't watch the side-by-side or watch the tiktok through  

this, people are so ******* dense 

 

it’s not about AliCe iN wOnDeRlAnD , the framing, staging and choreography is similar.

 

there are thousands of different ways to shoot and realise a concept like this, and yet the side by side is very similar. and she also has receipts of shady behavior so 

[BloodLuster]

the way this girl is completely unable to create something by herself 

[QueenofCopyPaste]

Lol the thread backfire

If she was so faceless.. Then why are you present on every thread celebrating anything negative thrown at her... Ironic isnt it?

This, I do not know, it doesn't look good from Olivia's team.

I don’t know, you guys. I don’t see how two artists who are doing a tea party theme would both come up with the sequence of putting sugar in their tea, doing a toast, the. holding something to cut food. That’s a really “out there” idea, a one-in-a-million kind of idea.

Not people in this thread acting like this girl was talking about the concept itself and not the almost identical execution and choreography  so dense

I know, right. It’s so crazy how they chose the same framing for the camera and everything. Most people would be inclined to position the camera looking down on top of the protagonist’s head. To choose that position of framing the person right in the center so everyone can see their face and movements is something only a visionary could come up with.

Again, you're acting deliberately obtuse so that you don't have to acknowledge the obvious.

What do you mean? I’m agreeing that it’s far-fetched two people would come up with the sequence of putting sugar in their tea and then holding something to cut food. That’s a really unnatural way to order those movements. It’s just super unlikely that it would occur to two people.

I don't even know what that chick is in the bottom half of that TikTok.

[artc0cx]

Plagiarism incarnate 

[1989]

This is a bit of a reach. The whole Alice In Wonderland theme—sometimes with similar or even identical choreography, staging, and execution, has been done for literal decades in music.

She doesn’t have a single original bone n her body
