Well, guess what? The story behind "If I Were a Boy" is absolutely scandalous. It also explains my question of why this single missed the Grammy deadline of Sept. 30, since it was ready to go at least three weeks ago. The answer: it was held up by endless legal wrangling since, in the long hallowed tradition of the music business, the young woman who wrote the melody and lyrics for "If I Were a Boy" had no idea Beyonce had even recorded her song until a stranger called with the news. By then, it was too late.
BC Jean is a hot, up-and-coming, 21-year-old female singer songwriter from San Diego. Those who’ve met her says she’s smart and "gorgeous." But BC (her initials, legend has it, are for "beautiful child") got a cold dose of reality this summer when it comes to the record business. According to sources, she and her manager/mother have been strong-armed by Beyonce’s people and others who saw gold in "If I Were a Boy" and didn’t care how they got it.
Mathew Knowles’ aggressive pursuit of the publishing rights to the potential hit record. His goal was to get the rights to the song and to put Beyonce’s name on the writing credits.
Well, i've already heard abt it, the article that i was read said that Bc jean and another IIWAB writer had written it b4, but, the another IIWAB writer sold this to Bee w/o Bc's permission.
I dont know whether it's true or not.
How come y'all be late abt this?
what a joke....Im losing respect for Beyonce... I mean I have no problem with her doing nothing but putting her pretty voice in others songs...thats fine...but putting her name in the writting credits for doing ****....now thats wrong.
She serves as her own vocal producer always...she didnt take writers credit...bloody hell...how late can people be? This is literally MONTHS old and dead...besides, this girl should be thanking Bey...if it werent for her, she'd still be a nobody...and most people have already forgotten her...
