For all the Beyonce' fans out there or anybody that's a fan of her , do you think she's original or a copycat?

This is one of the reasons I keep a certain distance between myself and that person's music. I'm not saying Beyonce is a terrible musician or artist...but sometimes I wonder about her attitude towards her fellow humans. She did a fair bit of poaching and rejecting with Destiny's Child too....and it's sad that this has to continue.

She's a multi-millionaire, *married* to a multi-millionaire. She doesn't *have to* be this ruthless anymore. She doesn't. Hell, she can *Pay* folks to legally write her lyrics for her--a lot of people in pop and R&B do this. She doesn't have to lie, cheat, steal and scrape to get by. Not anymore.

And....not dissing her fashion sense, ok....but honestly, both Kylie Minogue and Missy Elliot did some elements of her thing, and did them better, previously. Not going into further details than that....I don't want a Violation.

Point is, I hear you Gentle Asker. This happens a lot in hip-hop music and its modern R&B derivatives. But the biting and sampling and outright *plagiarism* of other people's lyrics, this late in the game, is just plain beneath Ms. Knowles's dignity. She should know better, make amends and stop it already.

Just saying. This is just my plug nickel here, not worth a thing...

Make a collaged box with pictures of Beyonce, and pictures of the fan and you, if you have any. If you two are friends, then put things that you guys have joked about, talked about or both like. You can also try to find magazine clippings with Beyonce in them. Since she is a Beyonce fan the main focus should be Beyonce though. Also, If you are very artistic you can try to draw (or trace if you aren't that good at drawing) a picture of Beyonce and put it in the box along with the rest of the gift. You could put a CD in there too, though it isn't as creative. You could also get something that Beyonce would wear or something blingy and fabulous. Good luck!

I don't care, I've never heard of this BCJean and I like Beyonce, anyway she must have paid for the song because it would have been illegal to steal it, so I'm sure BCJean was fine with it. Also I just listened to BC Jean singing If I were a Boy and Beyonce is much better at singing it.

she's a great singer i think she is original who out their nowadays singing don't do covers of other songs, but i looked on the web site and did she sell this song to beyonce?

im not a beyonce fan or a fan of her. she sure is hot though. and the dance moves on single ladies,, HOT

i don't really care.
