Did Britney/wade Take Inspiration From Aaliyah In Slave?

[LiaLovesGodney]

I was watching some Aaliyah vids and noticed the movement she does is similar to that done by Britney at the end of the Slave choreo. Literally those couple of seconds when they do the exact same thing.

I love the dance moves in try again - I can see where you are coming from with the vibe - mainly at the end - however - I think the slave choreo was extremely origional - and really catchy - it is one of those iconic moved that all the fans tried to replicate.. So people related to it.

 

Try again - is one of my fave dance sequences along with Slave

Hum... I guess not

I was talking about that specific move both Aaliyah and Britney do (swing the leg out to the side then do the robot arm thing ). The rest of Slave and Try Again are definitely unique.

That one little move they both do at the times I posted are too similar for Wade to have not gotten inspiration from Aaliyah, in my opinion.

Just to let you know, I do not mean the entire choreographies. I mean literally that one set of identical moves both Aaliyah and Britney do. The last chorus in Slave when Brit says "I cannot control it". That one 4-count.

I truly believe Britney got inspired by Aaliyah , the clothes, the music and the dance moves are similar to the Aaliyah's style , and, to be honest, Aaliyah was so talented, that it's natural Britney got inspired by another amazing performer/singer/actress :cutelaugh:

i dont think so tbh

 

oh aaliyah rip 

[heather]

anything's possible but i doubt aaliyah/her choreographer came up with that specific move themselves too

[killthelights]

noooo. i danced for like more than half my life. it's just a move, like a backwards kick-ball-change

[btmyhbrit99]

I don't see the same exact move being done by Britney. But anyway they both had mutual respect as for each other as performers and I think Britney has mentioned being a fan of Aaliyah's music so I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to emulate her at times.

Woop-dee-doo for you. I have been dancing since I was four. What's your point? They also do similar arm isolations right after they ron de jambe the leg out. And as I saw Aaliyah do that it immediately made me think of Britney. Then I figured it wouldn't be too far-fetched if Wade Robson had a couple of his influences in mind when choreographing Slave.

I think it just happened, but it's nice that you pointed it out

[samerre]

don't hate me, but I wish she could dance now as she used, she was amazing

Me too. I think that deep down we all wish Britney would be the performer she was 10+ years ago. She was just perfection.

no, i thought it was inspired by Salma Hayek's role in From Dusk Till Dawn

I mean "Literally those couple of seconds where they do the exact same thing" not the overall theme of the song and choreo. Like Wade or Brian (or whomever choreographed it) took a tiny bit of inspiration from Aaliyah. The moves (leg swing and arms) are too similar to be nothing more than a coincidence.
