Federal judge throws out copyright lawsuit against Beyonce
By M&C News Oct 3, 2006, 18:41 GMT
A Houston, Texas, federal judge has thrown out a copyright infringement lawsuit filed against R&B diva Beyonce Knowles by Jennifer Armour - a Minneapolis singer/songwriter.
"It's unfortunate that lawsuits such as this one occur, but I am grateful and relieved to have this behind me and I am eager to move on," Knowles, who also happens to be a Houston native, said in a statement that was issued by Music World Entertainment – which is owned by her father.
In the case, Armour claimed that Beyonce’s 2003 smash hit "Baby Boy," from the singer’s Grammy-winning ‘Dangerously in Love’ album stole lyrics from a song "Got a Little Bit of Love For You" The judge threw out the case, which was filed last year, after comparing the two songs and deciding that they were "substantially dissimilar."
The singer/songwriter claimed that her former manager provided demo recordings of her music to Columbia Records and Atlantic Recording Corporations. Both record labels also feature Knowles and Sean Paul (who joins Beyonce on “Baby Boy”) as part of their signed artist.

Get over it you Beyonce lover. Beyonce yes you're cute but get over yourself. You always try to act humble but in fact u're an attention seeker.
I agree with nameless...things are not what they appear to be with her. There are some things that her father does not want to come out...and somethings that miss Knowles does not want ANYBODY to know.
Losers. Why do you care what she does or doesn't want anyone to know? Oh, because you're losers.
