Tulisa sues will.i.am over "Scream & Shout"
Quote:
TULISA is angrier with WILL.I.AM than she was with GARY BARLOW after his “fag ash breath” comment on The X Factor.
The N-DUBZ singer has started legal proceedings against Will in a bid to claim publishing money for the track Scream & Shout.
Tulisa was orginally meant to release the single after working on it with Will’s right-hand man JEAN BAPTISTE.
But Will nabbed it and recorded a version with BRITNEY SPEARS — which became a worldwide hit.
However, Tulisa claims she wrote some of the lyrics on the track so she’s due some big money — if she can prove it.
A source said: “Tulisa is still fuming with Will for taking the song off her. The fact the song blew up only makes it worse.
“She’s well within her right to claim some of the publishing money.
“If she proves the words are hers, she could get a huge pay-out.”
One of the lyrics Tulisa claims belongs to her is: “
When you hear this in the club, you’d better turn this s*** up.
”
Granted, it’s not LENNON and McCARTNEY but if Will chose to leave in the line, then the singer is due some cash.
The total amount will depend on what percentage of the song she wrote.
If Tulisa’a publisher Sony ATV are successful against Will’s publishers BMG, the X Factor host will also have to be listed as a co-writer on the song.
Although the cash will come in handy — and pay for a few more trips to Ibiza — Tulisa will always wonder what the song would have done for her career.
The track, which was originally called I Don’t Give A F***, was due to feature on her debut album The Female Boss, which peaked at No35 last year.
She’s back in the studio now working on new material and hopes to release a single in May — when she’ll be supporting NE-YO on his UK tour.
Tulisa will also be praying for a scandal-free 2013.
We’ll see how that goes...

Well, this will be interesting

Considering there are very few lyrics....
and also, idk if it would've become a huge hit without Britney. What would the lyrics say? Will.i.am and Tulisa? That doesn't sound good.

I can see why she'd be upset. If she did actually co-write it, it's a snake move on Will's part for not listing her, even if they listed her last.

If she did actually wrote some parts of the song then it's only fair that she gets some cash but the song was a smash just 'cos of Britney.

Is Gimme More officially credited too in the songs credits? I could see Keri Hilson suing over that

And what's with the OP posting an unflattering picture of her? What do you win by that? Does that make you feel better at night?

lmao I wonder how the song would have perfomed
But if she indeed has writing credits then yes she deserves some kind of money.
