According to a British news report, the thief is at it again. Beyonce is being accused of looting yet another artist’s song.
As you know, Bey’s album “As I Am” leaked all over the Internets on Monday. I didn’t download the files, but I did hear the song “Halo” on the Internets. I have to say I like the track better than anything I’ve heard by Beyonce.
Normally, I can’t sit through an entire song of bey’s screeching. But I listened to “Halo” several times. Is it me or has Bey’s singing dramatically improved this go around?:
- Simon Cowell was left reeling today after Beyonce recorded a song that was originally intended for Leona Lewis.
The track called ‘Halo’ was written for Leona by Ryan Tedder, lead singer for soft-pop act One Republic, who also wrote Leona’s transatlantic smash ‘Bleeding Love’.
Cowell was said to be shocked by the news that Beyonce had recorded the track as he had previously agreed with Tedder that the song would be recorded by Leona.
An insider at SongBMG, Leona’s record label, said: “Leona’s [schedule] is so rammed it didn’t look like she could record it until next year. Ryan didn’t want to hang around so he gave it to Beyonce”. Source
Thanks to loyal reader LaVerne for the tip!
She did no such thang!!!
Sandra, you just can’ get enough of Bey can you?? she stay’s on this site being talked about by you.. any who, nice picture of ole girl.
Bey looks cute above and if you haven’t seen the credits to the song then we can file this as another accusation on queen bey …Hate on it Sandra … its what your ebst at.
I Am in stores 11/18 ….
omg… can we get a tiny style post or something so the rest of us can be negative? sheeesh.
If anyone knows anything about the music business, you answered your own question. She didn’t steal anything the author of the lyrics didn’t want to wait a year to have his song recorded and sold it to Bey, Bey album will probably sale more than Leona’s album. So if I was a writer i would rather have Bey do it instead of Leona, not saying Bey is a better singer then her but in the industry Bey is way above her. I can’t believe you admitted to liking a Bey track…lol
I haven’t seen a hot pic of Tiny since she was with xscape
So if the writer of the song gave it to Beyonce bc he didn’t want to wait around for Leona. . .how is Beyonce stealing it?
Smells like sh!t to me. . .
@ coaretained
We can be negative about Tiny without having a post! You see how we imporvised yesterday, lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t even remember what she looked like when she was in xscape. The pic on the left while pregnat is pretty. Other than that everytime I see her I smh. Her clothes always fit weird. I think she needs a breast reduction.
@BK2ATL — what pic was that??
@hermosa …its a croc of ISH as usual here on sandrarose.com …
Leona has a great voice – YES … as far as I know she hasn’t written one song YET .. and does it take away form her talent NO. They aren’t alot of artist who write all of thier material anyway.
I can’t wait for Bey’s album to hit the shelves.
This is the Music Business, Yes Leona has talent,rage,beauty etc,etc…but still SHE’S NO BEYONCE….
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CLOSE UP PIC!
It doesn’t sound like she stole it to me. It sounds like the writer shopped it around. B isn’t claiming to have written it, as per normal, is she? That’s all I want to see less of.
Y’all know Aint’T disgruntled ass is heaving with hate since The U.S. President Elect IS OBAMA she’s probably going to post something negative about every celeb that supported The U.S. President Elect OBAMA.
Bey is beautiful on the pic but looks like mama is aging like her French (white) Creole side – those creases look a little deep.
Halo is a beautiful song. I down loaded the album but like iyonah I WILL BE IN STORES 11/18!
Jam packed
So she didnt steal anything…sounds to me like Leona was being divaish
Writers can give a song to whoever they want just like the writers of Umbrella gave it to Rhianna when it was supposed to go to MJB. This happens all the time. Can we get a real story.
Yeah and did I say:
The U.S. President Elect IS OBAMA!
I just wanted to make sure it was understood Aint….T (smirking devilishly)
Umm, sounds like the writer of the song wanted to get it out there – but whatever has to be said to generate hits. I think we need to find some new folks – besides B, Halle and PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA – for Sandra to hate on!
@ Caramel Drop – I replied to you on yesterday – we work about 5 minutes from each other – I work near the animal shelter on Westmoreland at a promotional products company. Small world!
O-well!!!
BROKENHEARTED GIRL AND SATELLITES ARE GOOD AS WELL SANDRA…YOU KNOW YOU LIKE BEYONCE, STOP FRONTIN’. YES, LIKE IYONAH AND CARAMELDROP, I WILL BE IN STORE ON THE 18TH GETTING THE DELUXE VERSION
I love Leona Lewis..”I keep bleeding..Keep, Keep, Bleeding Love”…
…and she didn’t steal the song if the writer gave the song to Beyonce…
sandra you’re big on saying “reading is fundamental”, therefore i’m confused w/ this post…i don’t see where beyonce “stole” anything…the writer of the song “kept it moving” and gave the song to her…i swear you will try anything to try and sabotage this girl!
she is not the thief in this story, he wanted the money and didnt want to wait till next year so he sold it.
you snooze you loose.
i still dont like her though!!
How in the hell can you STEAL something that was GIVEN to you?
That man wanted his money and SIMON and LEONA were both slippin.
I dont blame that man, if you are too busy to record my song, I will give it to someone whod does.
Don’t be mad at Beyonce’ be mad at Leona. Beyonce didn’t steal her song, Leona lost it.
Writers can give a song to whoever they want just like the writers of Umbrella gave it to Rhianna when it was supposed to go to MJB.
I never knew of this … can you imagine Rhianna’s career without that song???
And now … I am trying to hear MARY singing it w/ her tone …
@iyonah
When that song came out Rhianna was in all of the interviews saying she begged for the song after it was promised to Mary. Mary even said she does not think it would have worked for her.
