Sure, she arranged all the background, but when you start singing the song, don't start saying: "Apparently Beyoncé was at a show somewhere and right before the song came on she said, 'I wrote this for my girls' and then the song came on" - Neyo.

LMAO. Well her name IS on the credits, is it not?

Too bad she acknowledged Ne-Yo as a writer before the album was even OUT:

I wasnt questioning your subjectivity, I was questioning your logic as to how you "calculate" who is more talented. Obviously you wont be convinced otherwise and neither will I but I believe that talent shouldnt be determined with a subjective mindset. I could really hate someone but still admit they are talented. Do you know what I'm getting at? Im not saying you hate Beyonce but you really love gaga and maybe thats why you believe she's the more talented one....

I see you're perspective but the critical problem with it is that the entire notion of "talent" is entirely subjective, at least until parameters are strictly defined for whatever's being assessed. It't the equivalent of "better", "best", or "worse"...For any of those terms to make the slightest sense contextually the terms of comparisson must first be layed out, and even that process is subjsetive.

And this has nothing to do wih my love for GaGa. It has to do with my affinity towards what i feel embodies more "talent".. For example, I think Adele is more talented than Rihanna , but I listen to and like Rinanna far more.

@ caerbayn knocking dOWNE AWL of featheralley's attempts.
Try as hard as you want, there is no proof of Beyonce "stealing" songwriting credits because she doesn't. Everyone is rightfully credited, including Beyonce herself for her alterations. No one is here for "I remember that one time" or "I read it on this blog." In other words: PR00f? Can you flip through your B'Day booklet and find Ne-Yo's name scratched out by Beyonce? Of course you can't, the credit is all there and getting your ***** so twisted up that you have to make a poll to ask for ppl's opinions on something that relies on factual information (whether writers are credited) is pure idiocy.

tl;dr Beyonce wins.
