: These Knowles' really are something else. MediaTakeOut.com told you nearly a year ago that R&B singer Ne-Yo admitted to writing 100% of the lyrics to Beyonce's hit song Irreplaceable. But apparently that hasn't stopped Beyonce from taking credit for penning the lyrics.
MediaTakeOut.com learned that in a recent interview with British magazine Marie Claire, an interviewer asked Beyonce whether she "wrote" the song Irreplaceable to describe her relationship with Jay Z.
Instead of saying that she didn't write the lyrics - which would have been the truth - here's how Beyonce replied:
I’m sure people think I wrote it about [Jay-Z] or something, but… the obvious person is not the person at all.Nuh uhhhhh!! What is wrong with this chick. The words "I wrote" and "Irreplaceable" should never be in the same sentence, hun.
O.K. moving right along, she did say some more interesting things in the interview. Here are few snippets:
Beyonce on her alter ego Sasha:
‘I’ve created an alter ego [she refers to her on-stage persona as ‘Sasha’]: things I do when performing I would never do normally. I reveal things about myself that I wouldn’t do in an interview. I have out-of-body experiences [on stage].Beyonce on whether there is a time limit to being a pop star:If I cut my leg, if I fall, I don’t even feel it. I’m so fearless, I’m not aware of my face or my body.'
‘Being a pop star, yes. Being a legend, an icon, absolutely not. And, at this point, that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot.Beyonce on her success:I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.’
'I am really proud that I am one of the artists that has the opportunity to be on magazine covers and to be in the movies. And I do think that I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle [Berry] and Diana Ross opened doors for me.’
i wish she would stop trying to take credit on a song that neyo wrote about his aunt back in the day and chick please she really hasn't been threw that much stuff to write a song like that any ways if i was neyo i wouldn't want to work with her if she saying that she wrote it and besides the song was given to fantasia first not beyonce so how she is going to take credit on a song that was written for somebody else, she was the 2 person he thought of not the first
plaine_jayne Flag post I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.’ =============================================
I agree with her statement...SHE DESERVES IT!! Love her or Hate her..this woman is THE HARDEST WORKING ENTERTAINER!! --------------- If The Phone Doesn‘t Ring, It‘s ME
^^^ Yes! So so true!
:-D and that siggy is killin' meeee!
ttnumber1 Flag post The braod has no talent...MTO i dont care what ya sAY ABOUT nEYO THE BOY GOT TAKENT...HE WROTE THIS SONG FOR THE AAWFUL BROAD....And in the bottom picture..she need to fire her makeup artist...she looks like she at the morge...!!!!!
^^^ *** you can't even spell the most simplest of words.
stfu & get ya G.E.D. :-D
ruebahamian Flag post I don't who lied to her, but she is not highly respected. The only time people mention her name is when they refer to her *** shaking, or how poorly she acts, or how tired her blonde lacefronts are.
Your time is up chica, please sit down.
BTW: This pic is airbrushed to DEATH.
^^^ your pic shoulda been airbrushed. *** you sittin' over there lookin' like you're saying...
WAIT TIL THEY GET A LOAD OF ME.. ala THE JOKER
:-D
Neyo should sue her *** like he did Kells. These mainstream artists' are always stealing from unknown songwriters, and taking credit.
How much times do yall need to catch this chick lying before you stans see through her transparent ***? She's a fake and a fraud who'll do anything, and step on anyone to get where she wants to be.
Some of you on here lick her ***, and then she turns around and hides from your ***. Hides her wedding ring, won't even give your hungry *** the time of day, yet you come on here to defend her like she's family. Wake the fu*k up!
@ Just the facts: I didn't ask for your opinion, nor do I need your approval. I have a mind of my own, and am not programmed to just accept any bullsh*t artist that is forced in my face.
I'm beautiful inside and out, which is why my avatar is not representative of someone else's life.
Have a great day :)
THE SONG WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN FOR FANTASIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF HER THROAT SURGERY SO NEYO GAVE IT TO BEY. BEY JUST ADDED SOME CHORUS BUT NEYO WROTE THE SONG. BEY IS TOO PRETTY TO HAVE ON ALL THIS MAKEUP. SHE NEEDS TO OPEN UP MORE ABOUT HER MARRIAGE TO HER LOYAL FANS. I THINK IT IS JAY THAT WANTS TO KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP CLOSED TO THE FANS. BEY IS DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN SO OFCOURSE A WOMAN WANTS TO SPEAK ABOUT BEING IN LOVE, BUT SHE DOES HAS TO LISTEN TO HER HUSBAND.
Respected my azz.She is too old to be a pop star. Hanna Montana, got that covered. Some one must explain the difference between respect and lust. She is not respected but lusted after. She is not the hardest working women in the business, Madonna is. She needs a few more world tours under her belt. Michael Jackson is an Icon, The music business does not give you that much longevity any more. She will never reach the level of a Halle Berry as far as acting goes and Diana Ross only had clut classics, Lady Sings the Blues and Mahogany, wait a minute Diana did that tired rendition of the Wiz also. Music was always Diana's money maker. Bey better sit down and educate herslef on some new business ventures, so she can have a fall back.
@opperelaine..OK so tru and very funny
@ruebahamian..I do have to agree w/u when u say that shaking your assetts has nuttin to do w/respect. The artists who get respect r the ones who talent shine thru without being naked!! So yeah if being almost naked all the time equals respect then she do got it.
On a side note I am a beyonce STAN and always have been, but these pics...no, not doing nuttin for me, I think she should dissapear for a cuppla years cuz the whole world has really just had a bey overload, real talk. O and I don't believe this chick is the same age as me, she looks like she 45 or sumtin. Not hating yall, as I said I am a beyonce STAN (i'm actually listening to her first solo album right now as we speak at work, haha!) but she do look like sum1 pretty auntie not no young lady. Errytime I see her she is less and less attractive, it kinda hurts my feelings to say that but its just tru! I wish I had that girls shape though!! Sh*t, I'd walk around half naked too LOL!
NO personality No depth Empty head HIghly respected by who? her fans? that don't count people that can't stand your music need to be able to give you props and that did not happen and will not happen because she keeps on putting her two left legs in her mouth everytime OPening door for who? america next hood rat? Get over yourself homegirl
I don't get it MTO. I don't think I've EVER heard of Beyonce' claiming any credits in that song other than singing it-nor is she eluding to any fact that she did [write the song] in this snippet of an interview. Anywho, she looks good and I'm glad to see she's not coming out the gate [again] trying to do a complete image overhaul like so many celebrities try to do at new project time. She's keeping her same hair style and style and that works for her-her talent speaks for itself. Kudos to her.
Why are some of you people calling her dumb?? But yet you reading up on her and she's worth millions(that we probably want never see in our life) and than you calling her dumb if she dumb what are you?? Because I don't see none of you people on any magazine covers. If see was so dumb she wouldn't be where she at right now (some haters might say *** sells)but she wouldn't make it this far so see can't be that dumb. So, like I said she worth millions and her haters are worth 0 and her stans worth 0 as well compare to her so what it make you? Dumb as well right?? If she dumb she a dumb rich B I T C H that half of the world want to be her and be in her spot..So, Haters fall the F U C *** back with the dumb S H I T. (Yeah I know Im a stan when it come to Beyonce So What)
Talent & Gift = Beyonce Knowles No Talent + No Gift = Ashanti
You can hate on Bey all you want to...at the end of the day her records are selling and so are her concerts. She is always on a magazine cover or endorsing something. She is married (not jumping around hollywood) to Jay-Z (wow)...and yes she is a respectable person. She has surrounded herself (or her father has) around the right people to learn how to BE SUCCESSFUL in the industry.
Beyonce I applaud you for your accomplishments (not that she is ever going to read this)...it is okay to give props to people that you do not necessarily support. This chick has higher goals than just being a POP STAR...she is a for real lady!
God loves Bey...He created her!
First, I love Bey, but fall back on the brows girl...Secondly, show a little modesty and humility...this interview is making you seem a bit cut-throat and arrogant...and third, did you hear about that settlement Ne-Yo got...girl, you better start making it clear...you gon find yoself in court...Ne-yo ain't playing with yall!
@truebahamian
Calm down sweetie,
Your comments make you come off like Beyonce turned you down for an autograph or something.
Beyonce is smart by not having the "media" all up in her "personal" life. If her and Jay want to keep their marriage b/w them that is their business...there are average non celebrity people that keep their marriage private. Just because she is in the public eye doesn't mean that she owes the public anything outside of entertaining them.
Black people can't we all just get along?
WHY SO SERIOUS? Like Grandmama use to say...if you dont have anything nice to say then...YA'LL KNOW THE REST!!!
I think she would do betta if she would relax and be herself....Alway tryin' too hard makes her come off as dumb or lacking character...Dont too much like her but she is hard working....And its her MO to take other artists creations...Need I remind us all of the *** song she attempted to steal and revamp by Des'ree??? Beyonce has no orignial game....
THE BEYONCE DISLIKERS AMAZE ME IF YOU DONT LIKE WHY POSTING MORE THAN HER ACTUAL STANS? How in the hell could dare saying Beyoncé is talentless, not highly respected? If your arguments have no basis please *** the *** up!
I see some jealous *** here men or women, talking sh!t about Beyoncé, c'mon, at least, get your facts correct, do you really think if she was not respected she would receive an AMA of excellence, the first female to have it, standing with the bee gees and MJ; singing with Tina Turner, Prince, Tina Turner; having five grammys in one ***? I mean please, you cant touch her talent, at least if Beyoncé, was just a pretty girl with a limited voice, half naked everywhere, I would understand ppl sayin she only shakes her ***, but please, the girl is a true entertainner at only 27, as a lead singer of DC or Solo artist she accomplished already a lot, she is on her way of becomming a legend and she works hard for it. So what, if she is saying that she wants to be a legend, she is ambitious, not a lazy ***, it's not free, she will be what she wants and she is making efforts for her dreams to come true, we should admire that at least, her hustle! Ne-Yo and Beyoncé wrote the *** song, both of them have their own credits, the entire world knows that, so why keep talkin? If you already know, then, *** the *** up!
BLACK RACE WAKE UP!! WHY HATING ON SOMEONE of your own kind WHO IS SUCCESSFUL? IN THIS INDUSTRY BEYONCE IS THE MOST POWERFUL BLACK ENTERTAINNER TO BRING TRUE TALENT AND THE ONLY THING YOU GUYS FIND TO DO IS HATING ON SOMEONE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW PERSONALLY! SMH AND WHAT DISLIKERS DONT KNOW IS THE FACT THAT THE MORE YOU KEEP HER NAME IN YOUR DIRTY MOUTHS THE MORE SHE IS IMPORTANT AND FAMOUS, if you have haters one day you HATERS, know that you're the best! We should supporting each other instead of putting down, thats a shame, and thats why this race will never be truely respected, so much jealousy around it, and Im black! SMH
Blah blah blah...Happy Birthday to my fellow Virgoan, Beyonce...Love your haters Beyonce...They secretly admire you...All they can say is you're dumb...But guess what? They may have 3,4, or 5 degrees but probably ain't even pulling in $60,000 a year and some may be even older than you and/or have kids...lol Keep doing you ma...When you have talent and skills, you don't need a degree to survive...Ask most of the actors in Hollywood...Ask most of the NBA, NFL, Venus/Serena Williams, etc...You're living the American Dream...Only a small percentage of people get to live your life...And the rest get to either admire it or hate on it...lol
truebahamian first off you look beautiful sexy When you said "I don't who lied to her, but she is not highly respected" i was about to call you a hater then i was like hold on that's thrue aint nobody respecting her *** besides those she pays
"How much times do yall need to catch this chick lying before you stans see through her transparent ***?" shoo i see throught her *** boo don't trip only those no life teenage wanna be black or wanna be white hoochies support her *** real people know better
LovelyBabiiE chinese girl, someone can be dumb as f-- yet have the smartest *** in their entourage and next thing you know you'll compare them to shakespeare i will never take anything away from beyonce because i am not a hater she fine , sexy can sing and make a *** hard but she is not perfect and if she is not dumb she sure as hell talk act and come accross as a dumb *** come one whenever she opens her mouth i have a strange feeling i'm ashame for her
you stated "her haters are worth 0 and her stans worth 0 as well compare to her" and after that you stated "(Yeah I know Im a stan when it come to Beyonce So What)" if that ain't some self hatred i don't know what it for your information beyonce poop, pee and bleed like all of you females so start lovingh yourself a little more and get a life
talkurshyt: rihanna dislikers post on her topics more than her fans and she is still one untalented *** so poor blog comments does not define one's success that was a dumb introduction
Lexia: u saying that money is better than education? right?
she look like a man in those pic and her boob is sagging and she is really starting to show off the arrogant unhumble bigheaded *** people that don't like her have been talking about for years and she aint written *** neyo said she HARMONIZED with him do you know what harmonizing mean?
anyway when is the next tour so we can see her half naked *** herself on stage? cuz that's her money maker aint nobody [not me at least] buying the cd
I have nothing against B. I think it is always admirable when people of color march to the beat of their own drum and make something of themselves. B has been doing this since she was a little girl. When you know what you want in life and you go after it non-stop and the doors open for the opportunities that come your way, how can you stop progress????? The real point of the article to me was her NOT ADMITTING that she did not write the song. As a song writer and publisher, I KNOW that it's not hard to find out who wrote a song! Everyone who writes one is signed up with one of the agencies who is responsible for tracking that song and it's lyrics so the writer can get paid. BMI, ASCAP, SESAC. Believe it. The only way she could get away with saying that is there was a COLLABORATION and no one's name stands out over the other. If two or more people wrote a song, there is a percentage that is going to be assigned to each writer so they can get paid. It's on the books. Either she wrote the song or Neo. It 'ain't ' hard to find out if you are really interested.
That's my only concern. I know from experience that you can write a song and someone else can get the credit if they have the hook up. One line can be written by you from a song and you can 'claim' you wrote it - but in reality, you ain't getting but a piece of that pie if there are other writers involved. If Neo wrote that song alone - believe me - he's getting 100% writers and he is making all kinds of money from that song!
@ lovelybabii - a person can be rich and dumb. she's rich due to accountants and others properly handling her money. her lack of composing a sentence has nothing to do with what all of the people who work for her do.
i clicked on the story because i thought that she'd change her look up for this album. the editors over-photoshopped her here.
Beyonce, you're a black Marilyn Monroe. You know...the woman who killed herself because her peers were in fact highly respected and skilled actors/artists and she was merely a *** symbol with every bit of the mortality that that implies. You know, you get old and/or wrinkled/fat and it's over? See Brigitte Bardot
man beyonce is the sh%t i love that girl to death shes multitalented rich bueatiful sexy motovational on top of her game professional everything about this girl is just perfect as a woman when it comes to entertaining and being a real woman...me as a woman admire her for that....we are both 27 well her birthday is coming up.....me and her was born in the year of the rooster which is 1981 the rooster sign that is the most powerful and multitalented other roosters are sean john and jay-z look up chinese astrology and you all will know what im talking about but anyway may god continue on blessing her....i love you bey!
every body hates on what they cant never be and what they will never understand.....i can relate to beyonce cause we are most difinetly the same....yall are some jealous envious ppl...hate to see the next do better.....the more you down grade the next the more ur gonna become ugly from the inside out and u are never going to have anything out of life haters........what goes around comes around what you do to others reflects back on you......how many times do i have to keep telling you negative ppl that? if you wanna talk about some one THAT BAD which you should do at all but since you haters cant help it talk about karrine steffans uuhhh coco buffy those prostitutes that in the porn business or george bush thats bringing our country down yall negative *** ppl wants to turn everything into negativity...you unhappy ungrateful mutha*$Kas...when yall bring other ppl down that you know is doing good you all are just showing signs that you~re unhappy with your d@mn self ...dummies...........and like i said may God continue on blessing her
She'd be opening up even more doors for women of color if she remained proud of her hour glass shape. But loosing weight to do movies and lightening your skin to do advertisment, etc. is not opening doors for the average minority woman. In fact, it closes doors as we remain under the same ole you must be skinny to be star AND the best ones are of light skin. It's a bunch of BS - but Bey didn't make the rules - she just follows them - with her respected self.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEYONCE- ME AND MY DAUGHTER LOVE YOU A WHOLE LOT- YOU INSPIRE US TO BE SUCESSFUL AND EXCEPTIONAL INDIVIDUALS. KEEP DOING YOUR THING, AND BEING WHO YOU ARE. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE HATERS- LET THEM DO THEY JOB- LOVE YOUR SELF YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR HUSBAND- YOU AND HIM I WISH THE BEST OF EVERYTHING! DO YOU GIRL HAPPY BIRTHDAY - I'LL BE 27 IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS MYSELF- FEELS GOOD TO BE GROWN AND DOWNRIGHT SEXY!
ROBO-HO, I'm going to hold you to the assertion that I go in "every Beyonce topic" and "say the same thing." Please show me...because if I remember correctly MTO has been a bit lackluster lately and has used an influx of Beyonce or Beyonce related topics as headlines. Trust me - when there are other topics, I'll gladly ignore one about Beyonce. I am not a fan.
THIS GIRL JUST WON'T ADMIT SHE DIDN'T WRITE THIS SONG. SHE DIDNT WANNA TLK ABOUT SH!T 2 MONTHS AGO. NOW SHE'S PROMOTING!!!! SHE TALKS ABOUT SONGS SHE HASN'T WRITTEN AND ABOUT HER BEING "HIGHLY RESPECTED" THE STANS NEVER SEE THROUGH IT. SHE LIES TO THEM, WON'T ADMIT SHE'S MARRIED OR NOTHING BUT WANTS YOU TO BUY HER CD'S. WHAT KIND OF MESS IS THAT? BUT THE STANS LOVE THE WAY SHE TREATS THEM.
Well ***. Can yall give a b*tch a break. I mean it is her birthday. Cut her some slack for once. For once I ask. And you d um b *** m o fo s, she didn't even say the words "I wrote" and "Irreplaceable" in the same sentence. Can yall read? And you posted it. Yall kill me with the same *** from 2 years ago. The song was a hit. Does anyone really care who wrote it right about now, I don't think so. ***! Stop jocking Beyonce.
WHY IS IT THAT THE MOMENT SOMEONE SAYS THEY DONT LIKE HER THEY BECOME HATERZ??? Isnt that the reason why theres different types of music and different artist? because people DONT ALL LIKE THE SAME ***!!!!i mean dayum people stop calling everyone who doesnt like her haterz!!! i dont like her never did never will. the b*itch's voice gets on my nerves! i mean yes she a fine sista yes she made it in the business ok im happy for you but wont listen to her *** for 5 seconds.
Second that woman needs a freaking interview coach shes talking worst *** then jessica simpson in there. ugh
by the way minone she said : " I’m sure people think I wrote it about [Jay-Z] or something, but… the obvious person is not the person at all. "
she saying that people think its about jay-z not that she wrote it.
Ppl on this site are soo fckin rediculous! If any of the ahters would actually pick up a real Mag or NewsPaper they would see that MTO is so full of *** the webmaster should have stomach cramps. If you look at the REPUTABLE sites you would see that the original question did NOT ask her who she WROTE the song for. They asked:
Beyonce on who her song ‘Irreplaceable’ is about: “The obvious person is not the person at all.”
Beyonce on being a pop star: “There is a time limit on being a pop star yes, being a legend, an icon, absolutely not. I’m over being a popstar, I don’t wana be a hot girl — I wana be iconic. And I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.”
Beyonce on being a role model: “I think I’m opening doors for more black women, just like Halle Berry and Diana Ross opened doors for me.”
So, whether u lik Bey or not, this site is the absolute BEST at trashing her and her husband. Draw your own conclusions people, and stop being MTO D*ck Riders! Hell, I'm even mad at myself for creating an account on this *** to tell y'all this!
*SMDH at all the retards*
Just pay Ne-Yo his money and move on! Why is it so difficult for artists to pay their responsibilities? You have been blessed with money yet you spend it on frivilous things but won't pay the people who helped you get to where you are! *** shame! Sorry Ne-Yo. You didn't know.........and I'm a fan of both artists.
she looks like a zombie *** these pics--....yall right the hair color does need ta change..matta fact ha whole style .shes like a broken record doin sayin singin dancing and acting the same *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova *** ova then actn like its new
not a hater-_-just staten ma opinion-_-concerned-_-I WANT MY MONIES WORTH
--NEXT.. i wish AAliyah was still here ta blow dis *** out day way
oyea *** FIRST!!!!
She is so lame and delusional.She is not gonna be a icon.I feel like Lauryn Hill only had one solo album and most people consider her to be one of a kind.Her album inspired so many brothers and sisters.She was a talented/knowledgeable MC and a great singer.
Beyonce on the other hand,has an identity problem.A whole class copy cat,makes songs for the moment and lies her *** off.She is too *** and a spotlight hog.Quantity is what beyonce has not quality.
It's sad that she really believes her own hype. Personally, I can't stand that no good, two-faced, backstabbing tramp.
And "sasha"? Are you kidding me? That's code for "she needs to seek help". It's cause of her crazy assed mama's upbringing. No wonder Solange has A.D.D. Tina's genes produce psychosis, evidently.
People in their RIGHT mind don't have "alter egos". That b*tch is crazy, plain and simple.
WOW!!! SOMEONE SURE THINKS A LOT OF THEMSELVES. SHE MIGHT WANT TO GET A GED AND LEARN HOW TO TALK FIRST BEFORE SHE STARTS CALLING HERSELF 'ICONIC.'
SHE MIGHT BE A MEGA POPSTAR, BUT SHE'S STILL JUST A POPSTAR, AND HASN'T RHIANNA OUTSOLD HER? CRAZY IN LOVE WAS THE LAST BEY SONG THAT I LIKED AND SHE CAN'T ACT. SHE NEEDS TO STEP IT UP AND STOP TRYING TO RELY ON HER LOOKS... WHITE AMERICA THINKS SHE'S FAT.
Yall dumb mofo would believe anything this *** says. Yes ne-yo wrote and brought it to the table but after that beyonce added more lyrics and changed it around TOGETHER to the song but just like any other song other producers added what they wanted to the song also therefore beyonce gets credit and so do they for it as well. Clearly none of you watched the special on BET when they interviewed her in 2006 before the album came out or else you would've known that beyonce said not once but TWICE that neyo wrote a song on the album when she talked bout it was a whole and then when she was talked bout irreplacable she said it again. If asked about the song relationship between her and jay-z relationship it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that she would say "i wrote the song" (technically she did)cause justifying that neyo wrote it is wayyy outta the question that was asked. Im so sick of this MTO dude 1 min hes praising bey the next hes dissing her. Get it together..isnt this the same mofo that said she was pregnant and shes not? my point exactly!
So feeling above comment (Kelvin05) you know what ur talking about. I cannot believe the blatant hating and *** you people can spit about someone u dont know.
I have read the article and she clearky states neyo wrote the song - it was sent to her - and she knows people think she wrote it. You creating lies only gives her more appeal and people with brains and the ability to read articles for themselves will know your talking ***.
Keep doing your thing B - You must be doin something right cuz all these chicks keep talkin your name no matter what you do.
A black woman doing her thing and working over hard and all we do is bring her down. Go support your one timers Cassie and Ciara. Im looking for legacy.
