Singer songwriter Jennifer Armour is going back to court to appeal an earlier ruling that threw out her claim that Beyonce nicked one of her songs.
As previously reported, Armour claimed that Beyonce took lyrics from her song 'Got A Little Bit Of Love For You' and used them for the song 'Baby Boy'. Her lawsuit claimed Knowles could have accessed her original track because Armour's former manager had shared it with Beyonce's record label Columbia.
But in October last year the US courts dismissed the case, ruling that the two songs were not similar enough for Armour to have a case, even if she could prove Beyonce had been exposed to her songs.
Now her lawyer is arguing that the case should be heard by a jury, presumably because she thinks her client would get a better shot at having the case heard and winning. She also says that an expert has analysed the two songs and disagrees with the original court ruling regarding the lack of similarity between them.
But Knowles legal people argue that expert analysis regarding the two songs is not relevant because the standard test in these kind of copyright cases is whether an ordinary listener can hear the similarity.
The appeal judges are yet to rule on whether the case should go back to court.
