Mariah Carey pen whistles ‘Hi!’ 💅
Beyoncé gets writing credit for editing songwriters’ lyrics to her liking and Ari’s pen has a name, Victoria Monet!
Billboard gone Rolling Stones. 👀
Whooo??!!
Your faves blue *ballls* print
Yess…
Mariah shits on all of them.
These days all these ratings as welle as Awards are just nonsense
Just a sh*tshow
I dont know her! 🙂↔️
We dont know her! 💅
Beyonce ain’t wrote isht but her name on the dotted line of contracts getting other people to sign over credit to her for the work they did. Everything she gives us is always stolen from a lesser artist.
Yep….Ne Yo, the Dream, Sia and the woman who wrote Love Drought said this.
Beyonce wrote gift from virgo ALONE, the other guy credited is just the producer.
As if it were a Walt Whitman poem. Shiiid, Blue Ivy could write something similar right now.
Beyonce? lol She puts in 2 or three words in a song and calls it a day. Lame to put her on the list
Beyonce wrote dangerously in Love ALONE.
It pales in comparison to My Heart Still Beats that she co-wrote with Mariah Carey’s ex-right arm: Walter Afanasieff.
Why must this blog put so much emphasis on Female artist? Listing Drake, Taylor, & Beyonce as the big 3 won’t cause the site to go offline.
Where is Dido? Shame
Diane Warren, too
This site is so gey notice how the top spots are dominated by men but before u click on the link they don’t mention them 🤔 😅
