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
