If Bee takes a Break who will fill her shoes? ...Bee can't retire! Basically any other female artist with a decent voice and average dancing skills? If thats the case then why hasn't someone been able to top or even go toe-to-toe with Beyonce in the R&B game? Since 2003 partner...since 2003.

Well I know a female R&B artist that sells more than her with each album.... Who Alicia? Well yeah Alicia did sell more originally with her last album but she still doesn't have the same pull and fame the way Bee does. Alicia isn't Hollywood as Bee which makes Bee a bigger household name. And Alicia still ain't on Bee's level vocally or performance wise, but I do respect her as an artist though.

THE ULTIMATE JACKING!!! BEYONCE RUMORED TO BE COPYRIGHTING HIT SONGS BY ALANIS MORISSETTE AND SARAH MCLACHLAN Beyonce sees something she likes .. and she reportedly takes it. Last week, Beyonce performed a number of hit songs during the Canadian leg of her concert - including Sarah McLaughlan's song Angel and Alanis Morissette's song You Oughta Know. Now according to one of MediaTakeOut.com's snitches -Beyonce is looking to copyright them. Here's what our tipster had to say: A certain B. Knowles has filed a license to crediting herself as a songwriter for "You Oughta Know" and "Angel", and she has shot videos for both songs to be included in her Diva Deluxe Videography. If you check the files, they would say: April 6, 2009 Songs set to be commissioned: "Angel" writers: B. Knowles, Sarah McLachlan "You Oughta Know" writers: B. Knowles, Alanis Morissette, Glen Ballard "If I Were a Boy (Extended Version)" writers: B. Knowles, S. Carter, Solange Knowles, BC Jean, Toby Gad "Halo (Spanish Version)" writers: B. Knowles, Solange Knowles, Antonio Villarosa, Rafael Cruz, Ryan Tedder, Evan "Kidd" Bogart No way would Bey try and copyright somebody else's work ... would she ... Well check out below, Bey already copyrighted the LYRICS to the classic song Ave Maria. Wonder if the Catholic church now has to pay her royalties every Sunday... Halo vs. Already Gone Ryan Tedder told some radio station in his hometown that he worked with Kelly first and then Beyonce. He said Beyonce had heard the Kelly song through Ryans mixer and she demanded a song like it. He took Halo's structure and completely changed it. However, Beyonce CD came out first. The interview where this is said is supposed to be put up before too long. This was also posted: This is exactly how it was explained. -'Halo' had been written/produced/demo'd since January last year. Ryan wrote the song while Apologize was blowing up. -Simon approached Ryan at some event and asked him to meet with him. Simon went through songs and picked Halo out. -Kelly started working with Ryan in May or June and he wrote Already Gone with her and fully produced it. -Leona's handlers said they were going to pass on the track because Leona's schedule was too busy -Beyonce heard a demo of Already Gone when working with the same guy who mixed AG. -Beyonce called Ryan up and demanded that he get a track for her that sounded the same. -Ryan went into the studio and started working a new progression of Halo. -Beyonce met with him, heard it and recorded it in 2 hours. -Beyonce rush released her album and decided Halo would be a single so she could beat Kelly's release date and get her track out first. www.mediatakeout.com/2009/31955-the_ultimate_jacking_beyonce_rumored_to_be_copyrighting_hit_songs_by_alanis_morissette_and_sarah_mclachlan.html

DEAD @ people believing anything from MediaFakeOut. Same source that claimed she had a show today in London and the tickets weren't selling.
All 9+ shows in the U.K. are sold out and she doesn't have a show today lol.

Parade just did their what people earn list: NO. 15, ALASKA GOV. SARAH PALIN, $125,000. Parade is short on detail on where it got its numbers or whether they include investment income, but the magazine offers an interesting mix of celeb and ordinary people's salaries. Palin, for instance, makes about six times as much as Mark Chandler, a library messenger in Evansville, Ill. AP file NO. 14, BRITNEY SPEARS, $2.25 MILLION. I bet you thought she made more, but, hey, those comebacks cost money. AP file NO. 13, PATRICK DEMPSEY, $3.5 MILLION. He doesn't just play a doctor on TV, he's in movies, too, including 'Made of Honor' in 2008. His hit show, 'Grey's Anatomy' recently celebrated its 100th episode NO. 12, TINA FEY, $4.6 MILLION. Tina Fey is not Sarah Palin, but she does play one on TV, returning briefly last year to her previous life at 'Saturday Night Live' to parody the Republican veep candidate. She spends most of her time now as Liz Lemon on the Emmy-winning '30 Rock' ... Is that Oprah? NO. 11, TAYLOR SWIFT, $5.5 MILLION. Guess who earned more money than Britney Spears? She also won album of the year and the Crystal Milestone award at the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 5, 2009. NO. 10, DANICA PATRICK, $7 MILLION. She proves you don't have to be a rock star or a movie star to be famous and make lots of money. You can also drive a race car. NO. 9, KELLY RIPA, $8 MILLION. And you don't have to be Regis Philbin to make big dough. You can be his TV talk show partner. NO. 8 Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie. She couldn't hold on to Vince Vaughn. She split twice from ex-Atlantan John Mayer. But JENNIFER ANISTON is still cute as a button, and, according to Parade magzine, she's earned $27 MILLION. In these depressing times, that's a lot. But she's no higher than NO. 8 on our unofficial Top 15 culled from Parade's report. AP file NO. 7, WILL FERRELL, $31 MILLION. Being lunatic and in movies can also be a real plus. Here, in one of his calmer moments, Farrell plays basketball with Atlanta's own Andre Benjamin to promote 'Semi-Pro' in 2008. Benjamin, the Outkast star, actor and music promoter, was not on Parade's random list. Johnny Crawford / jcrawford@ajc.com NO. 6, ALEX RODRIGUEZ, $34 MILLION. Even before steroids and Madonna and all that, Rodriguez was making record-breaking money hitting a baseball. Extra celebrity doesn't seem to be hurting at the moment. AP file NO. 5, RUSH LIMBAUGH, $38 MILLION. Ditto on the zeroes with that salary. The famously conservative radio talk-rouser got a new and blessed contract this past year. AP file Drug addict or not, he makes a hell of a lot of money NO. 4, BEYONCE, $80 MILLION ... NO. 3, JAY-Z, $82 MILLION. Together, the music power couple would be No. 1 on our list, but, hey, No. 3 and 4 is pretty good, especially when you get to hang out at President Barack Obama's inauguration. Elissa Eubanks / eeubanks@ajc.comNO. 2, TIGER WOODS, $110 MILLION. He's putting for still more money at the Master's in Augusta this week. AP file And at NO. 1 ... ??? NO. 1, TYLER PERRY, $125 MILLION. Atlanta's own Madea-movie-making director tops our list. Hoping to make a few more financial opportunities for himself and his friends, Perry held a grand opening last October for his 200,000-square-foot studio in southwest Atlanta Allen Sullivan / aesullivan@ajc.com

LMAO. Such delusional people. Beyonce isn't a bigger household name than Alicia Keys. I am a Bee stan, I'll be the first to admit, but hopefully even Bee haters could admit that she's a bigger house hold name then Alicia Keys. Beyonce is known world wide, unlike Keys. With movies, Destiny's Child, her adorsments, Obama ball, Oscars, her relationship with Jay, Beyonce is a bigger household name. And what's more pathetic then a bunch of crazy "delusional" stans? Pathetic, h8ters of artists, who just post to bash. I checked your posting history and you come in here every now and then just to bash miss. knowles. That's more pathetic than us, cheering her on. Bash and hate when she's flopping, but since she's gettign #1's, one of the top selling albums, good tour figures, and world wide sucees come harder next time :)

Alicia is a successful artist and will be a legend but Beyoncé is bigger, shes bein toppin the game for the last 12 years! Beyoncé is doin all those commercials and all those performances events and magazine covers because she's bigger and attract people! and people who post and believe that article about beyoncé gettin copyright for angel or you oughta know are clearly dumb and have no brain! why beyoncé will do that and how come she can do that? and Halo has been created before already gone, i dont know where are yall source but ryan said in interviews that he already made this hit and was going to work next with kelly, so please stop creating those dumbs rumors that make yall hataz look more dumb! As a a beyoncé fan, its like everyday the same thing, the same dumb rumors, the same dumb hataz mad at her for being this talented and this successfull! i dont know what they got next! we already heard single ladies caused the economy crisis, so maybe she will be the reason for the end of this world

LMAO. Such delusional people. Beyonce isn't a bigger household name than Alicia Keys. Yes, Beyonce certainly is. Alicia may sell more but I don't see how anyone can say she is a bigger household name. Beyonce has infiltrated pop culture from being name-dropped in movie scripts, fashion magazines, television shows, rap songs/music lyrics, etc. Her only peer that's a bigger household name in that regard is Britney Spears. Alicia Keys has not had the world copying her image, chanting "to the left, to the left", copying dance moves ("uh-oh" booty dance from CIL), or entire videos ("Single Ladies") getting story coverage from CNN to ABC stations. Plus all the endorsement deals she gets? Its incomparable.

LMAO. Such delusional people. Beyonce isn't a bigger household name than Alicia Keys. Thank you. Alicia doesn't have to put herself out there like Beyonce. There's a difference between those two. Alicia does half of what Beyonce does each album and still manage to sell more, don't that speaks volume, I believe so. If Beyonce's fans would stop looking at the endorsements she's constantly involved in and look at the reality of things, this girl should be selling way more. You would think she sells 10+ millions with each album with all the effort and push that go into this chick (she's contastly in our faces and the way the fans hype her up just amaze me that she's just second best to Alicia, yes she is). I highly doubt Beyonce's more of household name than Alicia Keys, if that was case then Beyonce would be selling more (in which she's not). Beyonce benefits from all her endorsements and etc so of course she would be mention more in the media. Alicia isn't an endorsement whore (unless it is for a good cause), she has stated that herself. Vocally, that's subjective right there. There's no need for discussion there. I think Beyonce has a decent/average voice but that's just my opinion. Others think otherwise and I will respect that.

I tried to stay out of this but here's my two cents:
To act like Alicia is outselling Bey by a large margin is inaccurate. Right now (worldwide) the gap stands @ 5 million and that's while IASF is still selling and without the sales of DC3 included in Bey's. Bey IS more of a household name than Alicia...no argument there. And Alicia has plenty of endorsements: Vitamin Water, Lexus, some piano company that I forgot the name of. Artists in high demand receive more endorsements, more press coverage, more opportunities... it's not rocket science. As with most successful artists, Bey makes most of her money from sold out tours. Alicia isn't quite on this level, yet. If I were Alicia I'd be keeping a low profile also in order to dodge those "homewrecker" rumors.

I dont know what you are talkin about! Beyoncé is one of the best selling albums artists of the decade, look at the charts, she's clearly is owning the album sales right now! and Bday outsold as i am, so no alicia is not sellin more albums than Bee take that somewhere else!
and vocally Alicia is not in the same league with bee at all! bee has this clear amazing angelic soulful voice that never sounds offkeys or bad live when alicia voice is great but too raw and comes off key and bad many times in her performances like keyshia cole. and this type of voice dont last too long, you can see she is loosing each years her voice!

"Bday" did not sell more than "As I Am", "Bday" barely cross 3 millions in the states while "As I Am" is close to 4 millions in the states. You are delusional I see. I said vocals are subjective. That's funny you say singers with raw voices lose their voices each year because they are able to get better with their vocal ability, take Mary J Blige or Patti Labelle as examples. So you don't know.

You think Beyonce's more of household name, you think that, alright so don't try to make seem like its fact because its not. Artists can decline endorsements if they want to, those who do it (in my eyes) are just money hungry that's all especially when it has nothing to do with their specific craft at hand. Who are you to say what level Alicia's on with touring? Its funny you have to throw a snide comment at the end, it shows how insecurity Beyonce's fans are.

^Bday sold more than as i am worldwide, if you want talk about bigger name you have to talk about worlwide!
and you dont seem really clever! Beyonce declines many endorsement and only take the big iconic brands! do you really think alicia will decline pepsi, loreal, nintendo, armani, tommy hilfiger and other big brands if they went too her, like really? beyonce attract customers, thats why they went to her and not miss Akeys!
and as for the vocals, you dont have responses on how much she sounds off key most of the time like the bet awards performance teenage love affair, no one's, like you never see me again, she was really strainin on that one!

But still you're missing the point, one was released in 2006 and the other one released in 2007, just why is the 2007 release close enough passing the 2006 release in sales. Huh? Well you know Alicia has stated herself, she's not interest in endorsements as of those especially if it doesn't contain any good causes. Just recently she decides to do other endorsements (like Vitamin Water), it doesn't interested her and we all can tell it doesn't. She likes her low profile life. That why she can release an album and it sells million without a problem and just disappear like that. Can Beyonce do that? I don't think so, she has to promote her ass off so she can sell. If you think Alicia's vocals are off key, that's your opinion. Alright, and you're keeping going on and on show you're not to confident in Beyonce's vocal abilities if you have to dog Alicia's vocals just to it makes sound like Beyonce's so superior (in which she's not, imo). Alicia's have a great voice, better than most of her contemporaries (that include Beyonce, imo), I have seen her twice live and been impressed with her vocal ablities. Just because she doesn't scream on her tracks (like Beyonce is known for) doesn't mean she's this and that or however you try to make her out to be. Many people say Alicia sounds better live than on her studio recording, I have not heard one person says that about Beyonce. Most of the time she's talking on her tracks and a shout here and there, whoopi.
