Honestly, the whole Right Said Fred thing is just tired. They were awful then, they're awful now, and the fact that they seem to get royalties every time someone emphasises the right words in their lyrics is bad enough without them getting the oxygen of publicity. MAKE. IT. STOP.
I didn't think she'd respond, but I'm so glad she did. This whole thing was simply meant to shit on her and use her name for clout. They were properly credited and paid, and that's quite literally all they're owed. Shut the fuck up now.
Weren't they also bragging about being sampled on a #1 album when it came out? Like you can't brag about that and then say they weren't asked for permission
I really hope this doesn't make Beyoncé despise ALIEN SUPERSTAR and decide to punish it (us) by not releasing the video for it, not performing it live or even removing it from the album (the chorus is so centered around the reference that I think it's impossible to edit the song like they did with ENERGY)
With the upwards moves on both Today's Top Hits, Hot Hits UK, and being A-List on both Radio 1 and Radio 2 as of today... she's smashing, your honour. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler
