BC Jean - If I Were A Boy (Beyonce demo) + download

[MarcosDiaswow]

Her voice is beautiful , its a different voice

[ItsJessyca1994]

She can´t sing it, with the same sorrow and feeling like Beyoncé...

Beyonce makes me cry while she is singing it

[RuuBjAh1]

I like this version better (don't get me wrong Beyonce's version is genious) but this version sounds more Rock-y and Beyonce's sounds more R&B-y...

[preciousj12]

All songwriters voices don't sound great even though bc jean is trying be a singer i think... i like this version

[takudzwa14]

hr voice annoys me soooo sooo much it hurts my ears

[ReadTwilight1]

eh her voice hurts my ears Beyonce is so much better

[LoLLyTriLLy]

better than Beyoncè

[tyties98]

Did BC Jean really write this song?

[ScaryJBlige]

@tyties98 yes. beyonce heard the demo. search "BC Jean Los Angeles times". watch the first search. She sold beyonce the rights when beyonce when she wanted it

[preciousj12]

@tyties98 yes

[TheSunFira]

Very beautiful :)))

[2handsome9]

take away beyonces looks and her production backing and there would b no comparison. BC is that much more talented. PLUS i cant stand for someone to take the credit for someone else's "masterpiece".

[Oryem]

@2handsome9 Bey can sing better tho

[00RocafellA00]

it was written by bc jean and co- written by Tobias "Toby" Gad who's a german producer and who came from a town wich is near mine

[00RocafellA00]

it was written by Tobias "Toby" Gad who's a german producer and who came from a town wich is near mine

[seasmia]

everyone who's saying bc jean didn't get a chance to come out, i hope you know that she actually wasn't going to release the song. As a matter of fact, if beyonce didn't sing it, we would never have heard this beautiful song.

[planetgallifreytv]

Basically, the thing with Beyonce is, a song is given to her (like this demo) and if she wants to record and release it, the song will go through contracts to get Bey's name on the credits. She has (on numerous occasions) claimed to have written songs, when she hasn't. It's a bit bitchy but it's not like she's the only one. Queen Madonna has done it sometimes too.

[sudsLA]

@planetgallifreytv actually i think Beyonce is a bit worse than Madonna. At least madonna whacks on some crappy lyrics , Beyonce (or her management) insist on a writing credit before she will even put down a scratch track. Actually its the publics fault because there is this silly belief that if the artist doesnt write the song, then they dont have as much credibility. I prefer what Sinatra/Presley/Houston did, take 50% of all royalties, but never insisted their names were added as songwriters.

[jmpadilha]

bad

[jinjabreadboi]

If BC Jean released this, it wouldn't have been as big as Beyonce's success with it.

[Churros1616]

@jinjabreadboi Never.. Beyonce her version is really diferent.. Beyonce has a warm voice and a strong voice that this song needs.. Also the beat in beyonce her version is better..

Why do you think the recordlabel of BC Jean turned the song down, they didn't hear a hit...

Than the producer let Beyonce listen to it, and she loved it, but she already knew she would make it more Queen Bey.

[jinjabreadboi]

@Churros1616 Yeah

[nardy90002010]

BEYONCE DID INITIALLY SAY SHE WROTE THIS SONG BUT WE ALL KNOW BEYONCE DON'T RIGHT SHIT LOL ANYWAYS AND OF COURSE SHE SOUNDS GREAT.....ITS HER SONG AND I DON'T LIKE BEYONCE FOR THIS CAUSE SHE DIDN'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO COME OUT DAMN WITHOUT SOMEBODY STEALING HER STUFF DAMN

[Jayy630]

@nardy90002010 I wish you would learn how to spell 'write'. Beyonce did switch a lot of words around, she didn't write the whole thing.

[pp100870]

she was really good

[gummybearsradored]

she can really sing but this is the wrong song for her

[NaomiBerger8761]

very nice? 

[neilmondez]

not bad..but beyonce's version is better...but with out this, beyonce will never ever sing if i were a boy...

[moichtimi]

Good

[dacutegirl1]

i like bc better :)

[bnov84]

dont care for beyonce.

clicked on this by accident.

I liked it. its very raw and

the raspy voice is a plus.

Would sound better stripped down to acoustic.

[dammy0267]

i like beyonces better

[loreliz4]

@dammy0267 beyonce is the best but at least she took it changed it a little and made it way better

[kcrusaders1]

there's nothing wrong with this, she has a different voice, i kinda like it.

[loreliz4]

@kcrusaders1 i think she might be better 4 rock right

[Draaaaganaaaa]

beyonce's better but this is cool too cuz she has her own style of singing

[9481bdaybeyonce]

everyone needs to read the song info/details on her album she gives credit! it says bc jean the first name by the song!

[mac1flow]

@Surmeliperi. You are right she cannot sing it like Beyonce. She has a style all her own. She can shred like Janice Joplin and smooth it out too.

[christianvotu]

essa voz é linda...PERFEITA *_*

[brendamccay]

No offense, but this girl sounds to rasspy & flat for this song & I normally like rasspy voices. Beyonce brings the emotion & feeling this song needs. This vocalist is too weak for THIS song. Let's be real.

[kymheartschris]

omg you suck stop ruining beyonce song ewwe

[eniko616]

Do you saying, Beyonce is a "Jacker and a Bitter".......lol...

[hsmrocker26]

not to be mean, but if bc jean released this song it would not be that much popular and now that this has happened everyone is saying beyonce sucks but she just made bc jean popular so cut the crap!=)

[danina246]

I don't understand what all the uproar is about. BC Jean's name are on the writing credits, and the person she co-wrote the song with is the one who approached Beyonce with the song. Beyonce even says herself that she didn't write the song. Get over it people!

[mzhotty100]

beyonce is full of shit

[kymheartschris]

bey short compared to them lol:)

[twinqletwinqle]

I'm a singer. BC Jean's does this song justice more than Beyonce. BC Jean's voice suits it more. Beyonce is an excellent and magnificent vocalist, but her tone lacks that "beautiful" quality, everyone in the business knows that.

[SashaxxFierce]

@twinqletwinqle HER VOICE LACKS "beautiful" quality?!!?! your on drugs.

[lreed1980]

lol @ beyonce can't do any wrong according to alot of her fans....lol

[theseaflows]

Wow! Beyonce looks good in that uniform!!

[nellie2581]

Poor BCJ her song didn't get released. I love her version.

[DonSelwashington]

this crackie sniffing teenage kiddo SANG A DEMO-- which wasn't even HER OWN PRODUCTION. she "SANG" the song-- Beyoncé "GOT" the song. Bitches, learn how the industry works.

[nannaamablankson]

love the voice

[heCallsMeHoney]

I'm amused at people cussing over these things. It's not necessary to. For Beyonce's fans, what if it was the other way around. Would you gladly say "It's all good, BC bought the song from Beyonce, and now it's hers, nothing wrong" or would you be mad too? At least give some credits to BC, that song did existed because of her. If I'm wrong then feel free to say I'm wrong but I don't need any cussing.

[Surmeliperi]

beyonce never said that she wrote that song on her own..

and if im serious this chick cant sing it like beyonce..

[justinsings4jesus]

3:34 lol!

[foreverminejuju12]

beyonce copied off a little girl

[sofakingwat2]

learn how music industry works

[Msworkable]

the only word change that i had notice- was to were 1:43 i think.

[aaliyonce]

There's more word changes than that

[youngdott05]

all of you beyonce haters are fucking ridiculous "she's talentless" "she cant make her own shit" look at the fucking music industry u dumb fucks!! majority of the artists dont make their own shit, that have someone else and they sing it!! they have the right to do so like beyonce or else should would have been slapped with a lawsuit?! have u seen BEYONCE GETTING SUED FOR STEALING SONGS uh....no so shut the fuck up!!!!

[shamee1]

so tru, when u look back u think a few artists have done this, whats happenin, then they complain that we steal music when they have already done so.

[psycosquirrel789]

Actually one of her song on BDAY was taken off because pf plagiarism.

[jaebaben]

DANG i really dnt get y soo many of u guys thnk that beyonce steals these songs she's NOT!! its called buyyyyying them wut the heck jus like u thnk she stole jon mclaughlins song smack into you...well she didnt omg!! dumb shits!!!

[wneedham02]

Again! Beyonce doesn't steal her music damn! Ask BC Jean she'll tell ya she BOUGHT it last time I checked theres a difference! She buys songs and changes lyrics, nothing wrong with that!

[Tommilee09]

Dude BeyondSlut said she made the song she said its hers when she did not wright it

[wneedham02]

Oh yeah? Prove it cuz she's never said such shit! Like I said ask BC Jean about it she'll tell ya there was nothing wrong with what Beyonce did, and BC Jean is glad that she bought her song or 'Stole' as you like to think, Beyonce's done more for her career than anyone!

[clockwork003]

who is this she sting's

[darkwitch2]

pareciera como si tuviera tos no em gusta mucho su voz pero gustos son gustos

[nuviasalazar1]

Beyonce voice is anoying all she does is scream.

BC VERSION IS ALOT BETTER!

[ashyboi2k7]

she sounds so croaky

[dancingdaizha]

umm those are different lyrics in certain parts not the whole song so it is an original it is called a laizon song definition a song not quite copied with differnt words by a little strand plus using differnt tense

[VmanAK47]

I'l steal all the music in the world and change some lyrics lolol.

[trumpetizer778]

From what I've been reading, there's nothing wrong with BC's voice. Duh, it's not beyonce's and she doesn't have that power of a voice that Beyonce does, but I give her props for writing a great song with awesome lyrics. She wrote (co-wrote), whatever you want to call it, A HIT across the world. Mad Props!!! Go BC, I'm digging the original emotion and all behind this :)

[tdottle246]

nobody would know this bitch if it wasnt for beyonce

[ashyboi2k7]

agreed!

[fiercejoto]

ehh. she sucksssssssssss

[foreverlove006]

lol if you have the cd in the booklet it says written by Toby Gad and BC Jean also says on wikipedia, beyonce has not put her name to the writing of the song so where you getting that from. how people like to spread crap beyonce has helped her out by singing her song she put it to number one.top 5 world wide cause this one sounds a bit more country style and would not be played on UK radio and RNB charts. Also she's getting paid so whats the probelm shes got more money in her pocket ca chingx

[cattie2299]

i CANT DECIDE . IS THAT A PRETTY VOICE OF AWFULL. i THINK I LOST MY HEARING.

[MmalaMaletaM]

OH! Awful voice...

[wikkedchik90]

she tried to deny ne-yo wrote for her irreplaceable

[kennykroyal]

She NEVER tried to deny the Neyo wrote that song. she did a whole DVD thing for BET around the time her album came out and in the interview she even says he wrote it. His name is in the damn booklet that comes with the CD. get yo facts right and stop hating

[ld0td0tl]

does it really matter?

just saying.

who gives a shit.

[aidaverdi]

i think its really cold for beyonce to steal her work . T_T

bc jean is better .

[ParlayMommie88]

she didn't steal it, you ass. this was a demo. bc jean sold the rights to Beyonce.

[loreliz4]

@ParlayMommie88 beyonces version is way better and she changed some lyrics thank god she took it this girl is ok but not that great right

[nardy90002010]

@loreliz4 ITS her song its BC song

[loreliz4]

@nardy90002010 i know

[miyo1990]

anyways,it look god n nice!!!1

[miyo1990]

it look nice!!!!

[nightDreamer12]

BC Jean sounds like miley cyrus after she has smoked a packs of cigs.

[angelica2614]

:`P rsrsrsr

[sacroyaya]

eza.ez.zU

vOz.mMm

jUjju

[elainecristine]

parece a Bee rouca

samy a Bee problem in the voice, joke this music

[stefgi32]

BC Jean > Beyonce

BC Jean is SUPERIOR to Beyonce. The original as always, is better. This girl sings from the heart.

[Tracychan4]

mmmm!!!!

la verdad esta mas o menoss

!!! XDDD

TU VOS ES BUENAA!! XDD

BYE

[misslaghter123]

it alright i guess the first part bu the rest SUCKS big time

[Mykimoto]

Actually there is still no prood that BC Jean sold her this song. When media tried to ask Matthew Knowles about it he would not make a comment and I dont see why he would try to hide it anyway if he bought it from her soo...me personally I wouldnt be suprised "if" this song was stolen or even hustled from her. I mean she's only 15 and she might have thought that this would have given her more exposure but seems like Beyonce is taken all the credit yet again whether she stole it or not

[ParlayMommie88]

Are you kidding me? She's Beyonce for crying out loud. She would be sued out the ass if she stole somebody's song. Do you really think that this song would have gotten air-play if Beyonce had stolen it? No radio station would touch a stolen song.

FYI: Big name artists don't steal songs, especially from well-known song writers, such as BC Jean. It would ruin their reputation and nobody would want to write for them.

Think before you speak.....or in this case, write.

[BrittanyDawnWhite]

lmfao exactly!!!

[jaws5204]

u said big name artists dont stael songs where do u live

[ParlayMommie88]

I said and I quote " Big name artists don't steal songs, especially from well-known song writers."

Read before you ask stupid ass questions.

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

Parlay, the only way people would know if a song was stolen is if the original artist came forward and said so. I think Beyonce and Company paid BC Jean off to keep her mouth shut. Big named artists get sued all the time.

[ParlayMommie88]

Wouldn't that mean that they paid for the song then? They also gave credit where credit was due, so how does that equate to stealing?

[BobbieJeanEndZone]

Initially Beyonce claimed she wrote it. Then she changed her story. HELLO!

[mikeybaby87]

@BobbieJeanEndZone hmmm when it first came out beyonce was on mtv or bet or something and she said bc jean wrote it

[loreliz4]

@mikeybaby87 i guess more ppl need to see that interview before they just say she stole it like with the single ladies dance on bet she said she wanted to use the same type of dancing

[conceithed]

@BobbieJeanEndZone Thank you. Bey stole the song and the credit.

[mrkingrelly]

@BobbieJeanEndZone Beyonce NEVER said she wrote it. Where's the proof?

[LetsBeOfficial]

@mrkingrelly Beyonce never writes her songs. it's in the credits, too. lol.

[jdot104]

I just refuse to believe that Beyonce stole this song. If she had there would have been reports about it from SOMEONE. Word would have gotten out. EVERYBODY can't be paid off. Especially when Beyonce is the most hated-on singer in the industry. She's #1 so of course everyone will try to find fault with her. It comes with the title of being the reigning Queen of the Industry.

[VmanAK47]

Coldplay stole viva la vida, and that won a grammy so I'm sure its easy to get away with stealing music.

[kittylaura95]

OMG She's 21 not 15!

[topsympas]

tu chantes très très bien ! ! !

tu pourrais etre une vrai chanteuse lol ! ! !

franchement tu as une très belle voix

[tunnyfamily]

this version sucks

[ClassiiNique08]

"coolcrazycoolcrazy (January 04, 2009)

Why are people so slow on this site i dont understand, the girl sold the song to beyonce end of story"

because people always wanna put out Bey's light.

when will they realize that she's here and she ain't goin nowhere??

idk..

[cairobaby]

i prefer this wayyyyyy more lol

[nissicha]

if beyonce was a boy i'd pumch that bitch in the face

[TheJerou]

HAHAH!!!! :D

[nissicha]

First of all im a rn i make 200,000 a year i dont have to hate on that fake bitch thats why her husband was staring up at me summer jam 2006 the camara dosent lye how you doing

[birdydun]

im doing good, glad u asked

[Forgore]

I think this versions good. The voice gives it kind of a rough edge wich I like, but I still think beyonce has a better interpretation of it.

That still doesn't take away that this singer/songwriter did write this song an deserves credit for it :)

[PANIKGirly94]

is this really beyonce? xDD sorry but i don´t hear her voice xD

[stephaniebarney]

"Demo of Beyonce's first single off her third studio album performed by BC Jean."

read before you speak

[deneenlaurel]

YOU are right beyonce has copied material, dance choregraphy, and styles from an array of artist. However when it come to writing music she had given credit where credit was due, because if the shoe was on the other foot or if someone stole her material there would have been a lucrative lawsuit!

[Ngelikk]

k es esoooo

iukkk

[katibln]

i love it... much better than beyonces version :)

[gdyli]

super

[gorgeous54321]

Who cares who made the song, Beyonce prodouced it and sounds much better singing it. this girl sounds like shes dying. you ppl are only putting her down cause your JEALOUS!!!!

Give her come credit god dammit

[dngunraj]

it's hard to give a theif credit, except for stealing.... which no matter how you slice it can't really be a good job.

[trey1144]

bc jean aint mad so why yall trippn like its yall song and yall wrote it grow up!!

[zonnuel]

Dunno If she made the music and/or lyrics.

But this girl is good !

Look how populair beyoncé's version is :D

[PrinceB16]

I prefer Beyonces Version, BC Jeans Voice is way to rough and horsey. She doesnt have as much Vocal range as Beyonce Either.

[hitomekakera]

wat the fuckkkk...

[coolcrazycoolcrazy]

Why are people so slow on this site i dont understand, the girl sold the song to beyonce end of story

[moomoomoomzq]

Beautiful

x

[thetmitty]

This is crap compared to beyonce. Im glad she made it and phused this crap off the shelves.

[vupadown]

yall are stupid...its a demo? do u know what a demo is...obviously the chick singing on the demo wrote or produced the song...then beyonces ppl approaches her about it...then buys it....beyonce gives bc jean credit in the album book...so if u dont know how the hell the industry works...shut the hell up...

[trey1144]

beyonce haters on youtube talkin shit haha bey made 80 million last year how much u got in yo bank account??? o okay!!

[amw1369]

its not about people's bank accounts its about the fact that she stole the track an tried to make it look like she wrote it herself, then she got caught an was like yea it was purchased... beyonce is truly talentless

[trey1144]

i boooed u bitch!!!!!!

[xghijastro]

BEYONCE STOLE THIS SONG...

she's such a copycat

even the video of single ladies...

it looks like the video of mexican breakfast

[fabSss1]

Uhh tommy pickels haha

[skyxwalker]

stop all nonsense. look at yourself first. Beyonce deserves what she does.

[nissicha]

I was shocked at Beyonce, she rules the world she needed a new sound and will do anything to get what ever she wants to get her way. God saw

[nissicha]

god is good dont judge her because you will lose your blessings now thats not the first time she always do these things to people i like bc jean she sounds better thats my opinion beyonce sounds great dont get it twisted trust me jay is gonna put her in her place god dont like ugly

[xdanniellexO]

i like beyonce's version better. its my opinion

[Alexandrite7]

it's not beyonce's song and beyonce was trying to sound like her and yet she's suppose to be so great! beyonce is crazy and so is her damn fans!

[xdanniellexO]

uhm like i said, its my opinion!!!!

[DrumNBum]

sounds like the voice of tommy pickles from "rugrats"

[vupadown]

is this woman chinese? no racism but she sounds alot like the drunk asian girl in my karoke bar...seriously...beyonce is way better!!

[fabSss1]

vupadown i'm totally agree

[cuddlylilwolverine]

pretty sure if bc wrote it, she's making good cash off beyonce's success...

[muna044]

and it so sad that the person who posted it put a pic of beyonce because no one would never listen to the drunk coz coz bullshit

[muna044]

This is my opinon this bitch has no fuckin tune she sounds drunk........if beyonce stole it. prove one thing beyonce felt sorry for the poor drucken bitch and did the job for her. 1.0000000000000000000000 times better

[Audreyowns]

are you fucking kidding me? this song was orignally written and performed by bc. It's not Beyonce's demo, Beyonce AKA Beowulf fucking stole it from her.

[Alexandrite7]

i agree with you. people give beyonce too much credit and she's whack!!! she can't do nothing her damn self she always have to take something from someone else.

[asiorqa]

BC Jean is the best of course

[asiorqa]

Beyonce doesn't grow to her heels!!! She's the best!!!

[jonhhh13]

Beyonce's version is way better

plus, I think a third party wrote the song :)

Beyonce didn't steel anything

[mohawk11161977]

Both Beyonce and BC Jean are great.

[sztatasz]

muy lindá

[MissMusix]

i like the beyonce version more. BC Jean sounds just so i dont know, she just has an annoying voice..

[deerrunner360]

dboi, its been on all the stations (radio and TV) Beyounce stole the song. BC Jean was talking about on Kidd Kradit 97.5 fm this morning. So sad, when a new artist get something stolen.

[luvnstuff600]

how come she sounds like she has a sore throat? luv the song though

[dboi1234567]

for all u dumb shits...more than likely bc jean gave beyonce the legal rights to perform her song as her own...jst to let you know... she is a proffesional and would not just take someones song without legal consent...

oh and truthserum411 you are definitely 100% right about collabone187.....oh and im black so its not us being racist collabone187 (jst so u wuld kno)

[Kongbysted]

Very nice voice. keep it comming. :)

[Nasheedaa]

kppui

[Nasheedaa]

[YAMAHAROCKS10]

[Machelle3200]

[Chicago10281]

That is BC Jean singing this Beyonce hit that she(BC Jean)wrote!

[Emeraudekal]

well erm what can i say? what u need to do is before u start a song u have to learn the lyrics and try to cough or something so that the thing that is making your throat sound bad can stop

[torchic1990]

what do u know about singing ???? And Her voice is ok just needs a little vocal training
