  • ok look beoyonce did not write this song she stole it from bc jean and she kept threatening bc jean for it and bc jeans parents gave us everything just so she could produce this song and she never got to but she did make a record deal

  • anyone kno where i can download this @?

  • reminds me of pink.

  • Why is it when someone post a demo of a song people go shit crazy and complain about the artist??!!? Please learn how the music industry works before you make yourself look stupid. Pretty much every single song has a demo. Just because one of them leaked don't mean they "stole" it -_-

  • @TypicalUsername1 thanks to you too, people are stupid when they say beyonce stole it.

  • @harlemgirl6252 No, she didnt copy it. BC let Beyonce record it.

  • @CaitiPeace thak you for the first I eard someone actually saying the right thing!!! no one can steal a song any ways, and BC was acutually trying t out sing beyonce, which never gonna happen, but any way, than you so much!

  • Dafür das es nicht von Beyonce ist sehr gut gesungen

  • BC Jean sounds like Tommy Pickles from Rugrats.

  • what are you saying? she didn't steal this song at all. someone gave it to her.

  • wow i cant believe Bey has copied so many ppl and made it her own mann=/

  • Good song, Bad artist...

  • this version is horrible !

  • Why did beyonce copy it???

  • actually it was originally b c jean's

  • I just love this version! the old one with Beyonce is not good anymore, i have heard it so much. I really love her voice! can not stop listening to this song. thank you very much :D

  • i really did not like this song it did not sound like beyonce 1 lil bit n it was just crap !

  • is so good

  • YOU fucking beyonce an trying hard.....

  • God i hope i see the day when all this copying and taking credit shit catches up to her. beyonce please GET SOME REAL FUCKING TALENT!!!

  • @harlemgirl6252 first of all, she didn't copy the song, BC gave it to her, and second, she's got more freaking talent than you do. I think. So shut the hell up.

  • Much better version.

    I like this one better, and considering it's the original. :D !

  • she deff sings this song better than b

    she has a raspy rocker type voice.. love it!!

  • This song makes me wanna be a better more

  • I have to agree with everyone who says that BC Jean definitely owns the song, but the rum, lime and lemon?? LOL. That's her voice, like Janis Joplin. It's special, unique and husky. It's still nice. LOL.

  • this is not beyonces song is any way shape or form. she wishes it was dats y she stole it

  • You an feel the emotion.. Beyonce's is alright,but I prefer this one, and I am a hug Beyonce fan!

  • sweetheart u must to drink lemoned. ur voice is little bit bad. continue practicing mybe next time more better.

  • u need to stop this sound way better than beyonce u need to drink some rum and lime to sound like her.

  • artists hate it when people download their music for free and whine and gripe about it but then they have the nerve to steal other people's songs. it's all about greed and vanity on their part. too bad beyonce is no better.  she's a great talent but no ethics such a shame.

  • Let me also clarify that i think beyonce is a great singer who give her all to her live performances. my only point was to say that a song is more than a song and they dont just fall out of trees and take alot of work to put together because they cant be cheesy and have to br catchy. its way harder than it seems.

  • i dont know what is going on with beyonce, but if she really did steal a song, it is not JUST a song. i write songs. it is not only my passion it is what i strive to make a living doing. Having a great song and potential hit stolen from me would not only be devastating to me but i would be livid. especially if it were done by such a high profile artist with more than enough money to license it or offer to buy the rights from me. so, it is not JUST a song. its someones job and someones dream.

  • It's also quite literally, their heart and soul. You spend so much time putting into words your feelings for the world to hear and someone just steals it away like it's just a piece of paper. It's far more than words

  • ugly voice

  • I don't know what the big fuss is about, jesus christ.

    BC Jean is the ORIGINAL writer of this song, Beyonce had NOTHING to do with that,

    yeah she sang it, but all she has is a good voice, all of her hits have been written by someone else.

    i like the way BC sings it, because that's the way it was meant to be heard apparently.

  • i kinda prefer BC's version

  • same. she sang it more soulfully. i can definitely feel her passion through her songs.

    i hope all the issues about who really owns the song should be solved already. :(

  • um to xJenzYeahx, yeah bro they didn't even have cars in the 1683, nice try though

  • hey BC, woooow. i can't believe this is you. its sounds awesome. I can't wait till you it and get huge. Best of luck.

    Gabe Becerra

  • Just to put it out there Beyonce did not steal her song, she just sung it better. If u stop being ignorant and go buy the Beyonce cd ud c that she thanked BC Jean for writing the song and letting her sing it. Beyonce helped PRODUCE the song for ur info. So b4 u start putting rude comments out there about a female artist with the best voice in this day and age go learn some facts first.

  • Just like to correct you on a few things. Beyoncé had the nerve to pretend she wrote this song, which is what people are having a problem with. She tends to do that a lot...she used to go around saying she wrote Irreplaceable until Ne-Yo made it very public that he penned the track. And she doesn't "produce" songs either...she buys credit space so that people "thinks" she can do more than just sing. She's a very talented singer...but songwriter/producer/dancer/act­ress she is not.

  • dont worry about it...there are Beyonce haters everywhere!!! They dont know how to appreciate a great artist when they hear one!! Dont waste your time tryin 2 explain it to people who dont matter!!

  • who cares???????? its a bloody song for goodness sake!!??

  • i hope u know.....that isnt beyonces song!!! bc jean wrote it and sang it and beyonce stole it cause shes stupid and i ope she gets suied for every damn penny she has!!!! and for everyone to know beyonce is ugly and retarted!

  • ur so jelouse just because beyoncy is a far better this BC girl is utter shite and anyway most of the songs u hear on the radio have been copied so dont put so much guilt on beyoncy she sings it far better so she should get way more credit

  • They Both sound very classy and good

  • no offence but i think we know if it was beyonce but nice try it was ok

  • i know its not u singing but i mean for jean

  • This sounds absolutely horrible. The song is so good, but this woman sounds like a dying cat!

  • Bc jean was a talented unsigned song writer, when beyonces people got wind of this song they just took it, and they could because she was unsigned at the time, playgerism is a crime there for she should be charged with ginormous fines like the would do any one, just because shes 'b' doesnt exclude her from the law. bc jean is a great song writter and beyonce well shes got money!

  • ur voice is shytt! dnt do tht to a greath song ! ur makiing it shyyt ! if bc jean had it first , and beyonce stole it ! good for herr! she made it big made cash and made it a hit ! go herr!! BC JEANS??! THE NAME SUCKS AND SO DOES UR VOICE OKAY!!

  • Beyonce stole this song from BC Jean. BC Jean had it recorded on her Demo when Beyonce people heard it. They tried to buy it from BC Jean...she declined and they just stole it. After BC Jean heard it in the radio...thats when Beyonce bought it to shut her up. I like Beyonce but stealing from other people is not cool just to be more known then what she already is. I like BC Jeans version better cause she was the Original singer of it!!!

  • man this is not beyonce !! i can say its ugly but it ok

  • only reason ppl say b version is better is becuz she is internationally known n her dramatic vid helped her too but i personallyy like this version better its not that bs voacals are better but its that her vocals are different OBAMA SHUD HAVE SHOWN THAT CHANGE IS GOOD SO ALTHO BC JEAN AIT YA STYLE GIVE HER HER PROPS! CUZ BEYONCES ENNTIRE CAREER IS BUILT ON BRINGIN PPL DOWN N SHITS I GUESS THATS JUS DA BIZZ BUT INTEGRITY IS WORTH MORE THAN FAME WEN WILL THE WORLD SEE THAT?

  • umm is all i have 2 say about her singing

  • bc jean wrote the actual song

    beyonce sings it on her album

  • I kinda like beyonce better! no offense i mean she's good, just not my style! and she like, better than me but still i like beyonce's version better!!! lol..sorry! dont mean to offend any body! and i just have to say this: Even if she didnt write it, dosent mean she doesnt have an amazing voice, beyonce im almost positive could out sing any of you! im sorry again!

    not trying to offend any body!

  • that's a great voice its not beyonce but still a thought you were great !

  • shes not trying to be beyonce!!! its her own song her song not fucking beyonces!! people should admire her not beyonce for taking bc jeans song and making it a hit and beyonce getting all the credit for it, is that right?

  • retard!

  • who da hell is BC Jean????? not to be rude...but i don't know her

  • shes a singer songwriter from los angelas, and it does matter who wrote it because thats a talent, a talent that beyonce doesnt have, she hasnt wrote any of her own music its other people that have wrote it. so think about all the songs you here from the pussy cat dolls, girls aloud, there all songs written by other people

  • well actually...Beyonce has written a lot of her songs or co- written/produced...so SOOORRRYYY if i don't know who BC Jean is...plus this happens in the industry all the time..other people sing others songs.... get over it

  • shes the woman this song, the song that beyonce didnt write!!

  • i like the way she sings it, beyonces over signs it and you lose the essence of what the song's really saying

  • Beyonce's dad stole this song for her i read it in OK!

  • /watch?v=CZWV2assK5Y

    watch this vid. beyonce's japan live performance. you can see credit of this song. beyonce is not on the writer. Toby gad/BC Jean is on the writer credit

  • you guys so funny, beyonce never claim she write this song. and on the song credit, BC jean is there as a writer, and beyonce is producer. BC jean is songwriter. she also write Natasha Bedingfield and Brandy song

  • who u suck omg ur voice wtf BEYONCE is way better thatn this girl.....stop singing!!!

  • your such an idiot, just shutup beyonce didnt write this song this girl singing did, writings a talent, something which beyonce dont have you fucking idiot!

  • wwhy give beyonce the credit for this song. Shes not even half as sexy as BC Jean. And BC Jean are doing it the right way. Don't even think beyonce could make a song like this. NO WAY. Sorry - i like beyonce, but BC Jean makes me a fan. Love her love her love her.

  • This was actually BC Jeans song originally :)

    Just thought I'd say that because everyone seems to be making out that it's Beyonces ...

  • i think beyonce is much better.

    not that Jean suks, but beyonce sounds better.

  • I love BC singing it... Beyonce is to agressive for this.. Not a hater, just a motivator!

  • this voice seems the paris hilton's voice...

  • i think beyonce sings this way better

  • BC Jean voice isn't horrible but this song just wasn't made for her...but she started off OK

  • i like the origional one better. this chic cant sing for shit.

  • yeh, I think Beyonce has yo make a press release to tell the world that the original song is actually belong the a very young singer song writer, BC Jean ..

    Good luck BC Jean, you have the talent, girl!!

  • beyonce is way bettah. i think she is helping bc jean, giving her mor publicitty. she is nly trying to renew the song, maybe she just likes the song too. ;) love yuu beyoncee x your an amsing singer x

  • BC Jean was upset cause she didn't even know the song had been sold. My point is I am really tired of beyonce promoting songs like she wrote them, many of those i listed and she got sued for. It seems as if she reall can't the point, if its not yours, it not yours. I love beyonce to death support her in eveything she is as an entertainer, but if everybody did this to the persons writing their songs, no songwriter would get notice. she took the cred as if she did eveything. that is all i'm sayin.

  • this song is written by toby gad and bc jean,there's no doubt about that. but then this song is sold to beyonce,that's why beyonce released the song as her single. she didn't stole the song! Havin't said that,i prefer beyonce's version. Damn good!

  • Put ur hearing aid in if u can't hear it IzzieWizzie3 haha <3

  • this shit sucks man. beyoncé voice is soooo much better Ö i love bé <3

  • youve got a wonderful voice

    (sorry if my english isn`t good bcs i`m a german boy)

    eveytime i hear your voice it gives me the creeps!!

    ITS WONDERFUL

  • its amaising xx

  • Just imagine if you wrote the song and bee took it and said she wrote it without giving you any credit. But then again most of you dummies would just be happy she is singing your stuff but still no one knows it;s you. I would be just as pissed as bc.

  • I absolutely loved the song before I found this out, and i do still like it but now it's like this is not her emotion it's bc's and i feel like i should listen to bc's version. It is just so unprofessional of her. but all you stupid immature people dont jump on me, it's just my opinion.

  • i am sorry. I love beyonce to death. I have listened to her since she was 16. I think she is one of the best singer's/performers of all time, but this is the second time she has done this shit. she took des'ree's song then victoria beckham's song, and now bc's song. even though Bee may have paid to have them, she always take credit as if she came up with the entire idea by herself. I think her version of all 3 of the songs are better but she has enough fame, damn give credit where it is due.

  • She got permission for Des'ree's song. She was only sued because she wasn't supposed to shoot a music video or change the name of the song. But she did get permission to sing it. That was confirmed. B.C. Jean's song was not stolen but bought by Beyonce. Jean is getting paid for it so check on things and just don't believe what you hear. No disrespect.

  • I neve said she did not get permission to use them or pay for them honey. Please read what I wrote again. I know beyonce got permission but she didn't get allllll her shit straight. And as far as BC I was saying how beyonce was seeming as if she was taking all the cred. No offense taken at all, its just a convo about beyonce'. so next time you want to comment on what someone says, make sure to read their statement clearly and you can both persons some time. No disrespect.

  • Like Beyonce said she never puts her name on anything that she didn't do. Her name is not on the writing credits for IF I WERE A BOY but she is listed with Toby Gad as a producer. As far as Des'ree's song goes Beyonce is listed as a writer. Whether its a minor change or not you still get credit. Think if you did a little work on something then you're going to want your credit 2 right? And you said i got your comment wrong you were talking bout she dont give credit well she does so u get it str8

  • well the point is beyonce is talking about this is the best work she's done to date. ummm...hello...its not your shit. why beyonce always feels like she has to top everybody. thats corny. Ms.Jean deserves her writing credits.

  • whos singin dis coz dey arent loud enuff i cant hear dem

    like da song do but its better wiv beyonce

  • I also like the raspiness of this one too, because it has more emotion, in Beyonces it's whinyish....

  • i like Beyonce's version much better! i'm not trying 2 be mean or anything but i think Beyonce has a much better voice then she this girl that sings it! but thats just me!:')

  • I love Beyonce' but I really like the raspiness in this version. Plus now the second verse makes sense compared to Beyonce's version. Cause I was like who is the "they" in Beyonce's version.

  • i really like both, but this one tops it!:)

  • I actually like this one better.

  • Beyonce sounds way better!

  • sing4ever17 stop it its liking ur bitching at beyonce u dont even noe her if she stole it then she stole it if she bought then she bought anyways just shut the fuck up and get it over it peoples!!!!!!!

  • i like beyonces voice better but i like bc jeans lyrics cause those little tweeks that byonce made and she thinls she wrote half the song and those little tweeks weren't as good as the original so yeah i go half and half

  • it was BC's song (pop rock)

    >>>Beyonce (RMB)

    that's why

  • its never to late to come back in the song when you love some one give that chance because when you have a family its better the second time because you wont make that same mist stake again

  • never to late to come back in the song

  • BEYONCE BETTER....

  • no effense but i think my ears are bleeding like hell.... i like beyonce better. WAY BETTER!!!!!!!

  • I saw somewhere that BC Jean wrote the song,,, True??..

  • Sorry but i hate your voice.

    Its so ugly

  • I Like BeOnceey Thee Besst. x

    SOrry, My Opinion

  • bc sounds better then beyonce and that is coming from a black person

  • I agree!

  • it sounds like the person who sings it smokes 2 packs a day.

    love the song but whoever singing rooned it but i still love the song!

    beyonce is way  better.

  • i dont like the veersion. it sounds to retrted

  • Whatever Beyonce rocks !

  • I love her version cos her voice really did express the emotions in the song. Her voice is so unique.

  • I like this one better. Dang does Beyonce ever do anything original!!

  • beyonce is good:)

  • wow shes ok!! but beyonce is way better anyways! and she did not steal it she bought it !

  • i think the raspyness in her voice, but it def needs more training. but i think id like this version better, if she was trained better.

  • no offense but in my opinion the raspiness sounds better in this song kinda cuz its heartfelt and kinda like she'd been crying. but with other songs umm no

  • i think she is a great singer she should keep at it

  • it sounds lyk shes dyin

  • She sounds good. Beyonce sounds better.

  • beyonce's version is so much better

  • interesante..

  • this is the song beyonce stole from this girl...they droppd her from the lable and gave her songs to beyonce ...that so fucked up

  • Actually, Beyonce BOUGHT the song. they never gave her anything. but still.. in my opinion, Beyonce sings it better...

  • Ok, everyone who keeps saying things like Beyonce stole this song need to shut up and get their facts straight. If the song was originally BC Jean's that means that Beyonce BOUGHT IT. She couldn't steal it because that is illegal and she is not going to risk her fame over something that stupid!

  • what the f*** are you talkin 'bout ? that never ever happened !! she bought the rights of this song..^^

    why are people talking shit about something they don't know about..?

  • she hurting my ears it sounds like she's struggling but beyonce's sounds great she's filled with emotion and hearteach

  • That might probably be because BC Jean's version is on a higher key.

  • BC has a gritty voice and Beyonce has a better tone.. Both versions are distinct and the lyrics are still brilliant.

  • Beyonce's voice isn't that great on her version either, they tried to cover it up with production but in certain parts she was oversinging it, but obviously no one had the courage to tell her, and aug13k, this is how its supposed to sound, raspy and filled with pain, not beautiful and smooth because she has everything handed to her, like the lyrics

  • I concur with you.

  • why did Beyawnce list herself as a songwriter for this, on her album?

  • she didnt!Where did you get that from!

  • I like BC Jean's way of singing it. The song was written by BC Jean and sold to Beyonce because BC Jean's contract didn't fall threw. But the song is suppose to sound like she's struggling. Just read the lyrics becuase she is talking about how a guy is taking her for granted and saying if she was a boy she would be better then him!!! BC JEAN ROCKS <333

  • u lyin

  • like what you see? dont be nervous! MESSAGE ME (msn)! d

  • I love how Beyonce steals songs, gets writing credits, and gets away with it!!!

    BEYONCE'S UNTOUCHABLE YA'LL!!!

    ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!

  • SHE SUXXS!!!!!!! she cant sing at all!!! She has a raspy ugly, bad, off pitch, voice!!! she suxxs!!!! Beyonce was much better! She better off letting Beyonce singing off sorry BC whatever but you suxx!!! big time idk. y they made you sing that song your not good no offense for who likes her but ovisouly you have bad ear cause i was in choir for 7yrs and she would have been kicked out cause she CANT SING AT ALL!!!
  • I love how Beyonce steals songs, gets writing credits, and gets away with it!!!

    BEYONCE'S UNTOUCHABLE YA'LL!!!

    ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!!!

  • This is a crap version....Beyonce is so much better.

  • there is nothing wrong with selling a song, but the problem with this is that beyonce and her father are fighting for the writter credit on the song, she didnt write the damn thing. thats the only thing that is messed up. beyonce just needs to suck it up ,she didnt write it, let someone else shine. shes already geting all the fame off the song, she needs to give credit where credit is due

  • yall needa get outta beyonce ass and face facts!

  • "BEYONCES DOES NOT SING THIS SONG,

    HOWEVER IT IS BEYONCES SONG! BC JEAN SINGS IT."

    CORRECTION!.... this is bc jean's song and beyonce sings it. even though beyonce bought this song, bc jean still his some of the writers share in the publishing...get it right

  • ummm no...

  • People sell songs all the time. Neo wrote some of your favorite songs for other people, Luther Vandross did mostly remakes, Michael Jackson didn't write Human Nature, and Floetry wrote Butterflies for him.

    Ya'll know nothing about the music industry.

  • Beyonce didn't steal the song. BC Jean

    sold the song to Beyonce. Which means

    BC will still make money from it unless

    she sold her publishing to, in any case

    Beyonce bought the song so it's hers now.

  • i don't know who actually owns the song out of beyonce or bc jean...but maybe it's a good thing beyonce sang it?even if it was actually bc's or whatever, coz it's meant bc's had heaps of publicity and people have listened to her singing.. so if she decides to put out an album more people will recognise her

  • THIS song WAS written by BC jean. Beyonces group stole the song off a demo, not sure if beyonce knew it was BC Jeans but its still stolen material. I heard this song before beyonce released it..oh and BC jeans version is so much better anyway.

  • This song was written by BC Jean and Beyonce stole it. Look it up people, just because she is Beyonce doesn't give her the right to steal from a young up and coming singer/songwriter.

  • she didn't steal it from her. she bought it from her.

  • she hasnt fully bought it. she just pays bc jean when she sings it

  • No, although she "bought it", she did not buy it from BC Jean (the owner). That is the issue. The Knowles paid a producer (who did not own the song) to use it. The law suit against Beyonce was legitimate-- she did not have permission from BC Jean to use it. However, they've reached settlement now. (Beyonce will sing the song with BC Jean)

  • why the fuck do i need to learn the music biz if im not in it? stupid ass people don't think before they type.

  • BC Jean and record producer Toby Gad wrote this song together for BC's debut album, but it fell through (which new albums often do) and Gad went around shoppin
