I remember some heated discussion about some Russian dancers dancing exactly the same choreography than some American dancer did... Now it seems that Turkish superstar Didem is doing the same without any hesitation and for sure without giving any credits to the original dancers or choreographers.
Worst example was her dancing a pathetic copy of Amar Gamal´s Wings of Isis at New Year show and previously she has already copied dances from e.g. Jillina, Rachel Brice, Tamalyn Dallal (she seems to have Bellydance Superstars video ) and also several Bollywood movies.
Ok copying can be thought to be a form of flattery but at least I am pissed that many idiots at e.g. YouTube praise Didem´s originality and nice moves when in fact they have been done before and usually even better. My appreciation for Didem is now close to zero because of this but should we jsut accept that because she is from Turkey and she is a superstar?
Here are some copycat examples:
