Crying at you thinking the MINIMAL songwriting credit Beyonce got was solely for the word change.
Crying at you failing to hear the clear differences in production between the two performances.
Crying at you being so loud and so wrong.
That is not what interpreting is.
Jon McLaughin's version was a demo. Demo. Any musical ideas that Beyonce had that added to the composition of the song would count as a credit. Songwriting is not just lyrics, but melody too. Thus, if she creates lines of melody, then boom. Songwriting credit. And once again, it was MINIMAL songwriting credit. She could've gotten 1% of it. The fact is she owns less of that song than The-Dream and Tricky.
