Haters,
Just in case you didn't think I read this article, I am posting it for you:
COURTESY OF MTO -
October 15, 2008. Over the last few days rumors have been swirling all over the Internet that Beyonce "stole" the song If I Were A Boy from singer/songwriter B.C. Jean. The rumors took on a new light when yesterday FOX NEWS' website posted an article claiming that suggested that B.C. Jean was not compensated for her song.Well, MediaTakeOut.com reached out to someone VERY CLOSE to Beyonce for their take on this mess. Here's what the insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "I have absolutely no idea where this is coming from. [Beyonce] acquired the rights to Like A Boy - everything was 100% legal and everyone associated with the song was compensated very well."And the insider suggested a motive for those "stealing" rumors. MediaTakeOut.com's insider tells, "Some people are upset that an African American woman is at the top of the music game right now, so they'll say anything to try and bring her down. But [Beyonce and her team] aren't phased by all this ... [they're] just gonna keep making great music."We're not sure what to believe at this point. For now, we'll give Bey and her peeps the benefit of the doubt .... But Bey, girl ... if we hear anything that contradicts what you're folks tell us, we reserve that right to put that azz ON BLAST!!!
My comments aren't about B stealing the song literally, but it's more or less about her stealing the concept and being lazy. Despite the legalities, she was too lazy to think of something original...
