Beyonce's First Two Singles From Her New Album Flop


Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce Knowles is on a losing streak. The first two unoriginal songs from her forthcoming album have bombed on the charts. Public feedback has been lukewarm (and that's being generous). The singles "Girls" and "1+1" failed to make any kind of significant dent on the music charts and have been greatly criticized by music fans and bloggers alike.

This is the first time Beyonce has experienced a flop from one of her albums or projects with former group Destinys Child. As the Judiciary Report warned regarding her months before her ill-fated singles were released You're Only As Good As Your Last Hit.

The music industry has become a joke. Barely passable singers, pretending to be skilled songwriters, by stealing others preexisting copyrighted works, passing them off as their own to the public, then collecting millions in undue royalties, in deeds that can only be described as racketeering.

There are so many gifted songwriters in America and all over the world. However, they are not getting the chance they deserve to be heard, in favor of a creativity stifling monopoly that exists in the music industry, where outsiders are not welcome, unless they are willing to sign away their rights and be terribly exploited, in favor of untalented people that have dug their heels into a sector of business they have no talent for. To be clear - stealing is not a talent. it is a crime.

Beyonce

The careers of so many modern mainstream artists, such as Beyonce and Britney Spears, are completely rigged. Payola to gain airplay and sales scams to falsify success via gold and platinum plaques. Awards are heaped on them for fraudulently claiming to do and be things they simply are not - multi-talented.

This is done by labels and management companies in support of an illusion, to create well-rounded artists. However, to do so with the current clay that is lacking the skills in question, they must commit fraud, criminal copyright infringement and grand theft, in stealing others valuable music that is protected by law.

The farce has gone too far, discrediting the music industry to a worldwide audience. Let me leave you with this fact to illustrate my point, regarding the disgraceful disparities, due to the blatant thievery and brazen fraud.

Beyonce, who is frequently sued for stealing other people's copyrighted songs, in criminal violation of U.S. and international law, as she deceitfully placed her name on stolen property and collected millions in other people's money in doing so, has won 19 Grammys in 10 years.

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin can sing her butt off, play the piano and has written some of the music she performed - and she was won 16 Grammys in 55 years. How do you explain that. Beyonce couldn't walk a mile in Aretha's shoes, doesn't have a fraction of the talent and stole all the songs she claimed to write, as illustrated by lawsuits and public complaints, yet has more Grammys in 1/5th the time. Once again, the entertainment industry has become a massive farce that lost all credibility.

Beyonce Steals Again But This Time From Sam Cooke, En Vogue And A European Artist

Thieving Sony singer, Beyonce, has been stealing from other artists again, in a nasty habit that has made her the recipient of a number of copyright infringement lawsuits. Her career has solely been based on copyright theft, which is a federal and international crime.

This time Beyonce stole in great detail, the preexisting video performance of European pop artist, Lorella Cuccarini, for her appearance on the Billboard Music Awards show last week. She's being slammed all over the internet for it.

Beyonce performed the infringing song "Run The World Girls" which has flopped on the charts and paired it with a scene by scene rip-off of Cuccarini's performance from last year that was televised in Europe.

Internet users are slamming Beyonce for this unoriginality. This week Beyonce also premiered a new song entitled "1+1" which is already being panned by people online. Ironically, Beyonce's "1+1" is a dead rip off of the 1960's song "Wonderful World" by my dad's favorite singer, Sam Cooke, who he plays often on his radio show.

Sam Cooke

My dad also played "Wonderful World" so many times in the house and car, while I was growing up, when I heard the Beyonce song, I instantly recognized the infringement. A few of the copyright infringing lyrics are:

Sam: but I do know one and one is two
Beyonce: but I know one plus one equals two

Sam: don't know much about algebra
Beyonce: I don't know much about algebra

Sam: don't know much about the French I took
Beyonce: I don't know much about fighting

Sam: what a wonderful world this could be
Beyonce: when the world's at war

En Vogue

Beyonce's "1+1" is also a rip off in certain parts, of the 1991 En Vogue hit "Don't Go." It's clear she slapped the two songs together ("Wonderful World" and "Don't Go"). There are melodic infringements and lyrical ones as well:

En Vogue: don't go
Beyonce: don't let me go

En Vogue: let's make sweet love
Beyonce: make love to me

En Vogue: I won't put up any fight
Beyonce: I will fight for you

En Vogue: lay me down
Beyonce: I'm laying right next to you

En Vogue: Our love's been growing freely
Beyonce: our love will heal us all

En Vogue: it's out of my hands
Beyonce: when I ball up my fist

En Vogue: body next to mine
Beyonce: laying next to you

In closing, Beyonce is pathetic - a complete fraud and thief with a career that's a farce. She is crazy and sick to be doing this. These labels need to stop signing people like her, as it is disgraceful. With all the talent in America, for Beyonce to consistently do this thieving stupidity, while deceitfully bragging she is a songwriter, is to spit in the face of true writers everywhere that work hard to come up with something original. She is an embarrassment that needs to go sit down.

BEYONCE'S OBSESSION WITH RIPPING OFF VANESSA WILLIAM'S MUSIC CAREER:

Vanessa Williams in 1991 Beyonce in 2008

Vanessa Williams took the photo posted above on the left in 1991 for her "Running Back To You" single. In 2008, Beyonce ripped it off. Note the similarities:

1. Vanessa Williams is wearing a black leotard covered by a black jacket. Beyonce is wearing a black leotard.

2. Vanessa Williams is wearing black paten leather ankle high boots and Beyonce is also wearing black paten leather ankle high boots .

3. Vanessa Williams has the front of her hair upswept with blonde highlights at the top while the back is flowing over her shoulders. Beyonce has the front of her hair upswept with blonde highlights at the top while the back is flowing over her shoulders.

4. Another sick note to add, Vanessa Williams has a daughter named Sasha. Beyonce adopted an alter ego named Sasha Fierce (more like Sasha Stupid ripping everybody off).

Legal Fight Breaks Out Over Rebecca Black's Unoriginal "Friday"


Rebecca Black

A legal fight has erupted over the rights to the Rebecca Black song and video "Friday." Ark Music Factory, who wrote and produced the song, in exchange for $2,000 from the 13-year-old's parents, insist they own the rights to the project. Black's parents beg to differ. As a result, there is talk of potential legal action over a song and video netting $27,000 per week via YouTube and iTunes.

Rebecca Black's "Friday"

Considering, Rebecca Black and her parents did not write the song or video, they most likely do not own the rights to either product, as that is the standard in the entertainment industry. Unless they signed a contract with Ark Music Factory, specifically stipulating they own the song and video, they are out of gas, as the aforementioned company appears to be functioning as a record label and production company.

Jodeci

Coincidentally, in listening to "Friday" it dawned on me last week that the song sounds like Jodeci's raunchy 1993 track "Let's Go Through The Motions." The songs have similar synths, basslines, melodies, rhythm, raps, crowd chants of "yea" and the word "day" repeated in the chorus. Both videos also feature a lot of people partying in the backyard of a house, a singer in bed and a car scene. However, Jodeci did theirs almost two decades ago.

Side Bar: Is it really appropriate that a 13-year-old should be singing about partying on the weekend, rather than studying and fighting acne. The subject matter seems older than the artist.
