You might be hearing this song a lot on the radio today and in the coming weeks.
Here is the version as sung by the original writer and performer, a young girl named BC Jean.

Alarmingly Gaunt Macaulay Culkin... What's Going On??
Oh Macaulay Culkin!
Entertainment Tonight spotted you out and about in NYC and you're looking really thin and shaggy!
Should we be concerned??
Apparently we aren't the first to think something looks off... ET also reached out to the actor's rep about his health, who replied:
"Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health."
We hope that's true!
Plus, we think it's time for a new Home Alone installment. A gritty can't-escape-his-past story??
HA!

Folks vote to keep the country safe and vote for McCain/Palin. Also vote Yes on Prop 8 in California.
oh i really like this song :]
I JUST TOLD ONE OF ME COWORKERS SHE LOOKS FAT TODAY!
Re: njpaul0129 – FUCK OFF FUCKFACE!
I like it
Good stuff.
Amazing song….heard it on Z100 this morning, but this girl is better than beyonce. Love it.
I like it.. but I guess Beyoncé made a fucked up version of it?
gross. I didn't even listen to her song because she looks like a really bad mix of Aubrey O'Day and Avril Lavigne. She looks sooo trashy! you're such a god damn hypocrite Perez!
Love this song!
Re: njpaul0129 –
STFU, dude!
I like it, probably more than I will like Beyonce's version
She looks trashy…Avril lavigne wannabe (with less clothes of course)
she sounds like ashlee simpson.
Love it

Fucking idiot. Go read this shit ~ and then tell me how exactly you think it is that McCain will keep America safe.
—————————————–
At least four Republican colleagues of McCain have gone on record to say that they consider him temperamentally unsuited to be Commander in Chief.
1. Robert C. Smith, the former Senator from New Hampshire, has said that "McCain's temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him."
2. Senator Pete Domenici of New Mexico has said he "doesn't want this guy anywhere near a trigger."
3. Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi said "the thought of McCain being President sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is a hothead."
4. Ross Perot, who worked closely with McCain on POW issues, said McCain "is the classic opportunist. "He's always reaching for attention and glory."
I havent heard Beyonce's version, but not to be a hater, I bet this version is way better. I heard how she butchered Des'ree's Kissing You and I was disgusted.

I don't get it: did Beyonce steal this song from her or buy the rights? This girl is cute. Beyonce is not. Haven't heard Beyonce's version yet, but I'm sure she butchers it and overdoes it like every other song.
the beyonce version sucks balls. it's obvious that beyowulf does not write her own songs. this song is well-suited for this chick.
She sounds like Miley Cyrus mixed with Lindsey Lohan. Waaaay talented writer, though.
Re: uraPIGperez – I read that article and it was eye-opening!!!!!!!
Re: njpaul0129 – you dumbass racist bastard, shut the fuck up cunt!!!
this girl sounds so much better than beyonce. i didn't like the song when beyonce sang, it but i like it now.
I like this girls voice much better than Beyonce's.
Cute song, but I'm not a fan of the "just smoked a pack of cigarettes" voice.
I haven't heard Beyonce's version either, but I can't stand Beyonce, so I'm sure it's even worse.
the lyrics to this song are soooo retarded…its like wtmfh?!
hahahaha get off dat Haterade, HATERZ… PEREZ you must be sooo mad Beyonce just released another HIT, geez u would think dat she made dis song Especially for you Perez, i mean the title of the song speaks for itself…
Hoping for replies, so i can tear ur @$$eS up New York(flavor of love season 2) Style
ill mock all of u L0$ers till next week so please be my guest
I like Beyonce's version better…
This girl's voice sounds as if she was dying
AND agree that she also sounds like "just smoked a pack of cigarettes"
I dont need any Slutty Cyrus and Avril Lavigne mix
I love this….her voice has a raw quality to it that gives credence to the words she's singing. I don't think I even want to hear Beyonce's version.
yeah!! i heard this song and Beyonce was singing it!!! WTF!!!!! that whore… well i liked the song and thought beyonce wrote it but now this! i'm not a beyonce fan but still i like artist who write their own songs… anyways whatever i like both versions…
sounds like a bad jessica simpson wannabe….i didn't even finish listening to it….couldn't take the first 45 secs. of it
Re: lableid13 – ok, i said bad jessica simpson wannabe, i mean a BAD asslee simpson wannabe….bleh!
i love her raspy voice but those lyrics? GOD AWFUL. stupid, stupid STUPID. "if i were a boy, i'd make out with whoever…blah blah blah…drink beer…yadda yadda yadda…" oh and thank you colbie whoseherface for DUMBING DOWN lyrics to rhyming "toes" and "nose" eighty times in one song. is this what we can expect nowadays? thrown together crap? awesome.
sooooo much better than beyonces version. its unfortunete talented ppl dont get the air time others. get.
I listed to beyonce's version too, and I like this one much better. I am not a fan of Beyonce, but her version wasn't so bad; but not nearly as good as this one. I think that when you write and perform a song, it just comes out differently. Beyonce was interpreting it, but this girl was FEELING it.
I like it. I like this girl. Much better than Beyonce or whoever sings the other person singing it is. Beyonce would just ruin it. Oh well - hopefully this girl made some money selling her song.
OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it fits her better than beyonce it's to lame for beyonce anyways
Speaking of Avril she just received the certificate of honor by the chinese association of social workers for donating money to help children affected by the earthquakes, post those photos hilton!
I REALLY LIKE IT!! IT DOESN'T SEEM TO FIT BEYONCE!
.
IS THERE NO CHANCE NOW THAT WE'LL HEAR THIS GIRL'S VERSION ON THE RADIO?!?
.
TOO BAD CUZ I CLICKED ON YOUR LINK TO HER MYSPACE AND HER OTHER SONGS ARE GOOD TOO. BUT THEY FIT AS A PACKAGE.
.
SHE WOULD PROBABLY NEED THIS ONE TO KICK OFF A FULL ALBUM/CD.
.
DAMN BEYONCE!
.
DO WE REALLY NEED MORE OF HER SINGING OTHER PEOPLE'S SONGS!
.
SORRY TO BE HARSH. I ACTUALLY DO LIKE BEYONCE, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THIS GIRL ON THE SCENE. SHE HAS A NICE SOUND.
Re: DALE –
Ya right… like Perez would ever post something good
she looks like KRISTIN from Laguna Beach
Re: njpaul0129 – Maybe you should work on your relationship with your angry boyfriend…Did he dump your ass? Maybe you should just come out of the closet instead of being fake about it and having your boyfriend come on crying how you are a liar.
Re: goodgoing – I agree. I think it's a cute idea for a song, but her voice is PAINFUL to listen to.
oh that's better - Beyonce and her scream/singing can get a little too much at times in this song.
Re: IIrish84 – Your right, keep people dumb and stupid is his motto.
sucks
dOES ANYONE THINK SHE LOOKS LIKE jESSICA aLBA WITH A FULLER FACE?…
Oops capitals..oh well
beyonce some up with your own shit!!! I can't stand music(pop music) nothing is original, everything is a remake or someone else wrote it for them. They should not be called artists, they should be called karaoke singers!
id hit it.. how old is she though? hopefully not jailbait
I like it. A lot.
Wow I just heard the Beyonce version and THIS is WAAAAAAY better than the crap beyonce put together!
if i was a boy - i would like to fuck her - she's beautiful, though you call her white trash
Aw, I like the song and she's really good! She should have just released the song herself and not given it to Beyonce
This is such an elegant song! I bet Perez' sister picked this one up, cuz Perez music taste sucks!
Sucks, just like most Top 40 songs.
I love love love love love this song!
This song is fantastical.
Her version sounds soooo much better than Beyonce.
i like the original much more than beyonce's take on it.
GOD - I love Beyonce and all …
But this girl deserves this song! The song was meant for her, not Beyonce! Go BC JEAN! beautiful song!
awsm song
I think life is better for guys……
so i wish i was a boy.
When she sings the high notes, it doesn't sound nearly as good as her low notes. If the high notes were cut out, I'd like it more.
HOT girl. SEXY song. … Not a fan of Beyonce. Does anyone know where I can find her version of this song???
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE her version. I heard Beyonce's but much prefer this one!
I like this version better.
I LOVE IT!
It's so true, guys get away with so much bullshit. This song is perfect.
hey,
i love this song! the lyrics are clever and dead on. and her voice is amazing! thanks for posting this perez.
Wow I love her version so much more. I'm actually giving Beyonce's version a chance now that I like the song because of BC Jean. I hated the song when I heard Beyonce's, but now I love it. It sounds like Beyonce is just…singing lol. Not feeling anything she's saying at all. But oh well, I like it anyway.
I love love love love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
way better than beyonce's version
She's great! Can't wait for whatever else is to come from BC!!
sounds wayy better than beyonce's
beyonce does NOT have the kind of voice for this kind of song
it just sounds weird with her singing it..
LOVES IT!
She's AWESOME. Great song!! I'm sorry Beyonce will be the one to get all the credit for it.
wow both version are really good….i wouldnt be able to choose. but beyonce's the bigger star so of course its her that will benefit. but then this chick can benefit off beyonce…..
HOLY SHIT!! I KNOW HER!!! no way!
she's awesome! and SUCH a sweetheart!
YAY!!!
I'm so stoked you put her on ur site! it'll help her SO MUCH!!
THIS REMINDS ME OF GWEN STEFANI'S I'M JUST A GIRL. THESE SONGS TELL IT LIKE IT IS. WOMEN DON'T STICK WITH EACH AS MEN DO.
sounds very "alannah myles"
i love it!
Re: MicheleTheBelle – Beyonce sings better than this girl anyday.
k I have herd both versions, I usually tend to go for the one wrote the song, I think beyonce's version is great…but why is she singing a song liek this she's got jay z, it kinda ruins the whole feeling of the song when you know that the person singing it isnt in that situation at the time, I like bc jeans version better not only because she wrote the song but becasue her version seems more innocent and real and she's younger so it's more relatable, than beyonce's.
i really like this song. i like her version way better.
shiteous!
Ahh.. I use to go to High School with her! I remember when she left to pursue her singing career! I'm so proud of her! Way to go BC!
Alright, look. I've known this girl for 10 years and she is the most amazing girl i've ever known. Be nice. She's not any of these rude things you're saying about her. Dont judge…be jealous
Re: sweetcakes – who is this??? you went to torrey?
IM DIGGIN THE SONG SHE WROTE BUT NOT HER SINGING IT. SHE SOUNDS LIKE A BAG OF WET CATS TRYNA ESCAPE. BEYONCE GAVE MORE EMOTION. AND BESIDES IF BEYONCE MAKES IT A HIT IT'S STILL GONNA BENEFIT BC JEAN.
In this pic she looks like pete wentz with long blonde hair… aka pretty.
This is on BC JEANS MYSPACE PEREZ! SHE IS WRITER, AND SHE IS WORKING WITH BIG NAMES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AS WELL AS BEYONCE.
IM SURE SHE IS GETTING PAID BIG BUCKS FOR LETTING BEYONCE SING AND EDIT HER SONG. SO BEFORE YOU START MAKING BEYONCE LOOK BAD, PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT FIRST!
AND STOP STARTING SHIT!
Q: So what are you doing now?
A: Right now I am perfecting my craft as a writer working with some great names in the business, such as producers, Toby Gad, John Feldman, Andrew Fromm and Kevin Kadiish…also getting my show together… Auditioned musicians for two months to put my band together and they are great ! The girls will love them!!!! We will be performing next Saturday. August 16th at the Knitting Factory!!! So I hope everyone will come check it out!
I love Beyonce and all, but I like BC Jeans version, WAYYYYY better! Go girl!
ii think its rediculous that beyonce stole the song from bc jean!
You already have the fame, create ur own stuff!!!
let someone else into the spotlight!
I Fucking WISH I could download this song! Her version is WAY better and even if you put her name into itunes it comes up with the crappy Beyonce version…
