Beyonce's Ghost Writer Stepping out of the Shadows


BC Jean trying for a hit of her own.
Eons ago I broke the story that Beyonce’s hit song, “If I Were A Boy,” was written by a ghost writer.



BC Jean, now 21, wrote the song with a producer friend. Then the producer sold the song to Beyonce behind Jean’s back. There was a scuffle over credits. BC Jean wound up getting $250,000 and a recording contract with RCA/J Records. Beyonce got to pretend she had something to do with writing the song.

Now at last comes BC Jean’s first single and it’s a smash. The song is called “Just a Guy.” It’s full of hooks. Thanks to the good work of Clive Davis protege Larry Jackson. This guy knows what he’s doing.

I like BC jean's vocals on If I were a boy better than Bey. Man, she should do her own thing.

Just because some preferred BC's version over Bey's doesn't mean they are 'hating' her. As for her being able to 'sang'..well, that is still a matter of opinion.

How is this girl Beyonce's ghostwriter? When you read the writing credits for this song on Beyonce's album no where do you see Beyonce's name, BC Jean and another person is mentioned. Get it right.

This is okay, but I def like Beyonce's version better (at least vocally). I wish Beyonce (and her team) would stop acting like she's some lyrical genius behind her songs. It's silly, and backtracking just save face is not cool at all.

Just acknowledge that someone else wrote the song and let it be that. That doesn't make Beyonce any less of an artist. Whitney has some of the greatest songs of all time, but the only thing she ever claimed was her voice.

Well I never thought Beyonce wrote it. She wrote Bootylicious and Bugaboo. Clearly Solange got the song writing talent and Beyonce got the voice

I like BC.
Fact, Beyonce never sang this song live, her background,prerecorded version hit those high notes, don't be foolish and think that she did.
When Beyonce sings live she sreams or is standing still trust that fact as well.

Beyfake did not write bootylicious, nor did she come up with the word. Bugaboo was written by someone else to.....cannot recall the name. Bey doesn't write anything.
