it's not a simple cover... it's a retreatment of the song. vocals arrangements and even 2 lines are still lyrics. be pressed. she isn't credited on I WAS HERE and a couple of her solo debut songs so your whole theory is just talk-in-the-air. nexT.
MTV: Beyoncé, you produced and wrote almost every single track on the album. Why did you decide to do that?
Beyoncé: I wrote and produced "Independent Women [Part 1]" and "Jumpin', Jumpin'." Then I did "Survivor" and "Bootylicious" and the label loved it. [Same with] "Nasty Girl," "Emotions," "Happy Face," and "Apple Pie a la Mode." The label kept saying, "Do another song, do another song, do another song." It wasn't planned. It wasn't something like I said, "OK, I'm going to take charge."
This literally happens to every popstar in some way, shape, or form. Don't be mad that Beyoncé is not exempt.
if you don't see that Beyoncé has it worse just by the pedestal she's placed on and how grand of a scale it is comparatively, it's because you probably stan for someone who doesn't have it as bad
Rude boy is missing half the second verse, half the 3rd verse and says "from me" instead of baby" in the chorus.
You TRIED though. Before you bring up Te Amo it is also missing 3 verse and just repeats the last chorus like 5 times. Rihanna, queen of writing.
The Beyhive trying to defend Bey by attacking Rihanna what's new?
Anyone who really values/ respects artistic integrity should condemn this, EVEN beyonce fans. But i havent seen one who DARES to criticize her. As a matter of fact I saw one refer to her as the sunlight and the water we drink
I like Beyonce but the Hive should honestly stop acting as if they know how everything works behind the scenes... Comments like "If you're not stealing writing credits, you're on your knees on the studio" are super cringe-worthy

well arrangements and melodies are part of song writing, according to The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. thats what makes it a song. even producers get credit. if it was just words, they would be called lyricists , not song writers
more like underhanded, greedy and selfish. she's stealing those royalty checks from people who one: actually deserve them and two: would actually need more than she ever would
All of our favorite artists do shady, underhanded and dirty business to get ahead,.
Who the **** CARES? BEYONCÉ is the mother****ing queen of this dimension and you bitches will deal. She is the light the grows trees. She is the water that you drinketh from. She is BEYONCÉ. She can travel back into time and create songs before they've even been fathomed. She is the goddess, daughter of Aphrodite. She is life and you all will deal. Rihanna has a wide set vagina and Britney STILL can't bend her knees.
now what an amazing post, this thread had me crackling. For real, it's not a matter of 'defending' Beyoncé... she didn't commit any crime, obvs the original writer was very happy with the deal that took place and yada yada.
Mess. So how did she get a credit, honestly? You just put your name on there if you sing it now?
Basically. Sia said something similar sometime ago, songwriters give writing credits for those type of artist just to make sure the song will go somewhere commercially.
