Q: How has this experience of getting a major label cut affected you? Were you given the opportunity to hang around the studio while Kelly recorded the song?
A: This isn’t my first major label song cut but it is my first major single song cut. Before this I had Beyonce “Save The Hero,” that I wrote with Jim Jonsin and Rico Love which was a much different process. But this is my first major single, and I am still walking on cloud nine and waiting for someone to shake me and say “Okay, wake up, you’re back in South Florida trying to figure out what to do!” [laughs]
Well she said she wrote Irreplacable, during a concert or whatever she said "I wrote this one for my girls" and that's when songwriter Ne-Yo called her out on it.
The whole If I Were A Boy era where she claimed she wrote the song then indie MySpace singer revived from the dead and said she actually wrote the song.
And yes, after Beyonce got caught she said she did the whole vocal arrangement or whatever, and THAT is why she is credited as a songwriter on Irreplaceable. I'll give you that, but you do NOT say that "I WROTE this song for my girls" because you did not despite having a songwriting credit on it.
She gets songs ready on a plate, change 1 word and then claim in interviews that she wrote this song based on personal experiences without even mentioning the one who originally wrote it.
As long as the main writer is in the credits and was compensated for the song it's not stealing.
