Janet Upset At Beyonce!

My dad had a Jaguar.

Beyonce Steals Another Song!

Beyonce is being accussed of stealing songs again…Her song “Smash Into You” from her new album “I Am…Sasha Fierce” was written originally for Jon McLaughlin. The song never made it on Jon McLaughlin’s album but he did perform it on his summer/fall tour. The two versions have almost identical lyrics and the main difference is she changed the name from “Smack Into You” to “Smash Into You” to get the writing credit.
