Of course. She's not a label puppet. She's a musician.

Wouldn't she just be considered a vocalist...

Beyoncé does arrangements/melodies (vocal production) and writing (lyrics, structure). She also helps select the right drums or the right snare. Or she'll suggest a guitar solo and mimick that with her voice (I Care). Things like that. Basically she's a vocal producer/writer and executive producer.

As for sole writing credit, she has a few. She won an ASCAP songwriters award for a reason.

Where´s the ASCAP of GaGa should I ask?

Writing or producing a song/album all by yourself doesn't mean your work is valuable, and all the reviews of ARTPOP shows it.

I love Beyoncé, but Halo has less of a bridge and more of an adlib between the second and last chorus. It's really not that big of a deal for a vocalist as advanced as Bey to create.

I guess getting credit is easy when you have the vocal talent.

Well of course, especially in times when singers just mimic whatever is on demo down to a tee and even writers get confused by it.

Oh, wait I thought this was about an actual part with lyrics.
He's talking about that run/ad-lib w/e you want to call it
Technically she does deserve the credit since ppl do get credited for melody/

Seriously, this. Give Beyoncé credit where it's due. The melody that she wrote is beautiful, and one of my personal favorite parts of the song.

I really wish people would stop trying to make an issue out of this ****. Beyoncé receives credit for everything she does to a song, whether it's changing the melody, lyrics, whatever. She gets credit because she wants her contributions to be recognized. There's nothing controversial about it.

Some of the greatest voices (like Whitney Houston) never wrote a majority of their songs. Other great voices (name withheld to prevent a point for perceived shade) were never great song writers and but keep writing anyway.

Beyoncé is someone who is very hands on with her art. Instead of trying to throw weak shade and false tea, why not invest your time doing something constructive.

No, vocalists like Beyoncé, Ella Fitzgerald, Mariah Carey, Sarah Vaughan are MUSICIANS. Because they use their voice like an instrument. They're highly trained and know exactly how to approach a song. For instance, Beyoncé would sometimes emulate a string section during the bridge of "Hello". She enhances the music with her vocals.

Consider this, if Beyoncé wasn't a vocalist she'd have to use a guitar or a piano to create her melodies. But she'prefers to use her voice. Musician nonetheless.

Sis don't even try it, Rita voice is really emotional, even if she sings the same notes she interprets them and emotes in her own way not emulate Dream robotic vocals. And starting 3:00 you must hear these small differences in harmonies and the adlibs at the end. You sound like a fool

[Grown K]

Of course she did.

[Tena]

Poor haters. Everything they say comes back and bites them in the ass.

I can't tell if it's a shade towards Bey or your own fave
