Ariana Grande - yes, and?

[moni]

According to the director of Ariana Grande's new music video, the video was not inspired by Michael Jackson, but by Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted" video, but I still see more scenes from different Michael Jackson clips.

I even saw a comparison of frames from her video and Michael’s video, and I can’t understand.
It seems like there is no direct copying, but I can’t shake the feeling that this served as inspiration. Maybe even unconsciously
