Another day, another song on Beyonce’s new album I Am…Sasha Fierce found to be meant for someone else. You already heard the story behind “If I Were A Boy” and Simon Cowell broke the news that the second single “Halo” was written for his protege Leona Lewis. Now, it’s been discovered that another song from the deluxe edition of the album, “Smash Into You,” was written for someone else, Limelight Spotlight artist Jon McLaughlin. The song originally called “Smack Into You” was written for McLaughlin’s sophomore album Ok Now by Tricky Stewart and The-Dream. Though, the song was later scrapped from the album, Jon did perform the song live on his summer/fall tour. Not letting an amazing song go to waste, it was presented to Beyonce and changed to “Smash Into You” (that’s the part Beyonce must have “written” in order to receive that coveted writing credit because the two versions are practially identical lyrically otherwise). Here’s what Jon had to say about the song in his bio: “Smack Into You,” written and produced by Grammy winners Tricky and The-Dream, is about falling head over heels in love, a combination of the Police’s “Every Breath You Take” and U2’s “With Or Without You,” melding acoustic guitar and McLaughlin’s piano to create a passionate undertow. “This song has such a great groove and is so fun to play live,” says Jon. “It creates such a special moment in the room.” Listen to the songs below: There’s no big deal in a scrapped song being passed to another artist, but certainly there is something a little more unsettling about a writing credit being given for changing one word–and more unsettling are the people that will still consider that artist a songwriter. It’s a real shame and real songwriters shouldn’t stand for it. But when it comes to getting a song on a superstar artist like Beyonce’s album, you’d pretty much sell your soul for the bragging rights (and money), too. The exposure you’d get and the potential that the song turns into a hit is so high that it outweighs sharing the hardwork. Unsavory! neonlimelight.com/2008/11/21/beyonce-wants-to-smash-jon-mclaughlin-wanted-to-smack-first/Shame on you Beyonce, shame on you Papa Knowles.

IIWAB #1 in the UK too!
Beyonce tops singles chart Sun Nov 23, 2008 8:03pm GMT Email | Print | Share| Single Page | Recommend (0) [-] Text [+] 1 of 1Full SizeLONDON (Reuters) - American R&B star Beyonce topped the singles charts on Sunday, ending the three-week reign of a charity single by the finalists of "The X Factor" television talent show, the Official Charts Company said.
Beyonce's "If I were a boy" rose from third spot last week while the X Factor single "Hero," which raised money for injured soldiers, slipped to number two.
Rock band Killers rose one spot to third with "Human" while American rapper TI slipped two places to number four with "Live Your Life," featuring Barbadian R&B singer Rihanna.
In the album chart, former "X Factor" winner Leona Lewis's "Spirit" shot back to the top from 137th place after the release of the deluxe edition.
British singer Dido's "Safe Trip Home" entered the album chart at number 2 while Canadian rock group Nickelback's "Dark Horse" was another new entry at number 4.
Welsh rock band The Stereophonics slipped one spot to number three with their greatest hits compilation "Decade in the Sun."
Last week's best-selling album, operatic quartet Il Divo's "The Promise," fell to number 7.

I hate that she is going with "Diva'". What a silly song. What a mistake. I am loving the album NOW, but I can't help but to think what a liar Beyonce is. She said she took a year to record this album because it was personal and blah, blah, blah, but she didn't even write the songs or their concepts. She basically recorded what already existed. Where is the artistry in that?

Not sure if it's been posted yet, but I Am... Sasha Fierce will be $7.99 on Friday at Best Buy. That is not true. I spoke with Best Buy. Someone said that was a third party ad, and that the album won't be on sale because it is \too new of a release.
