Beyonce stole If I were A Boy
Beyonce stole SIngle Ladies dance off of Bob Fosse' choreography. There are atleast 15 blatant copies.
Beyonce is not orginal what so ever. Deja Vu is a copy of Crazy In Love, Single Ladies is a copy off of Get Me Bodied.
Beyonce lies and says she writes but she doesn't. Ne-Yo completely wrote Irreplaceable yet she claims she did, once saying "This is a song I wrote about strong women" before performing it. Wtf.
Lastly, Beyonce and he father are frauds. She will change a word or two just to get a writing credit for more $ and credibility, as will her father. She claimed she recorded her follow up album without her father's knowledge, yet he has a credit as execuite producer. Either Beyonce is lying or they tagged that credit on so he'd get paid. Her whole career is a disaster, behind the scenes.

One topic Friedman nailed on the head is the entitlement of recording artists to a slice of the radio royalty pie. The medium itself has become diluted and less relevant as a promotional tool, so that indirect benefit to the performers - whose voices and personalities radio stations make their dime in ad revenue on - doesn't really seem sufficient anymore.
Their recordings, their names, their personalities, their reputations, their talents: they all make recording artists just as deserving of residual claims as the songwriters and the folks on the other side of the recording booth, who already get their well-earned and deserved share.
I don't think it's really safe to assume that giving performers their fair cut of radio residuals would diminish the business of songwriting-credit 'agreements' in the recording industry, though. Friedman is taking a bit of a leap there, but regardless, it's an issue that needs reform.

That song was terrible--I feel as if my ear holes have been raped. She is lucky she was only robbed for creating it.

As someone said before, this song is great, because you know any woman that likes it is an unstable mess.
