Why? Most singers don't write their own music

You right, but we never talked about it or cared before.

We didn't think about or care who wrote TLC' songs or Whitney Houston songs or Boys II Men's songs.

We just enjoyed the music .

I guess I can only speak for myself, but music was much better before we had so much info about the politics and behind the scenes aspects of music. It was better when the music seemed organic instead of manufactured and shopped around to the highest bidder.

I legit assumed she wrote this herself.

I assumed those were her words.


Still love the song tho. No big deal.:manny:

Why would you or anybody assume, a multi-billion dollar enterprise...isn't planned from top to bottom?

I mean if you feel that way...don't look at 50s and 60s Blues/RocknRoll credits...you'll be really hurt...

I did too,she is wearing the costume of weird artist chick,yet not writing her own music:martin:.
This is not a chick who looks like she has been groomed to have a pop star look and appeal like Rhianna was for example.
I will say though,when I heard the name of the song I thought to myself "Booed Up" sounded a little dated,and should have came out during the boo craze.
