Yes, "If I Were A Boy" is a hit. But did you know that Beyoncé's worldwide hit song is, in fact, a cover of the singer BC Jean ? Having known that her song has been covered, BC Jean started a trial.

According to the site samples.fr, Beyoncé's worldwide hit "If I Were A Boy" is actually a cover ! The song has been written & sun by a young 21-year-old Californian girl, BC Jean, who worked with Toby Gad. Without ending the production of this song, he took it without BC Jean's agreement & gave it to former Destiny's Child. Having known that her song has been covered, the young singer started a trial. She should record a duet with Beyoncé to stop rumours.

The same thing happened with Nolwenn Leroy's "Cassé", first recorded by Pedro Alves. After Nolwenn's winning at Star Academy second season, the song, written by Lionel Florence & composed by Francis Maggiulli, has been given to the singer, without telling Pedro Alves.

On the same site, we learn excellent things.
- Flo Rida's new single "Right Round" samples Dead Or Alive's 80's hit "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)".
- 50 Cent & Eminem used the music of Mike Brant's "Mais Dans La Lumière" for "Crack A Bottle".
- Yelle sampled a new wave song by Heaven 17 on "Ce Jeu".
- The Pussycat Dolls sampled a guitar riff of the 60's band The Yardbirds.
- Lily Allen used a music composed by Pierre Bachelet on "Littlest Things".
- Finally, the duet Début De Soirée invented nothing because they used the same music as a Patty Ryan song on their kitsch "Nuit De Folie".

Nothing's lost, everything's recycled ! Isn't it good life ? Let's put an ear on the site, that's interesting !
