Background
Blige started working on her ninth album while she toured with Robin Thicke in 2008. In an interview with Rap-Up magazine she said:
The album was initially titled Stronger after the song, "Stronger" which Blige recorded and released as the lead single from the soundtrack Music Inspired by More Than a Game from the LeBron James' documentary More Than a Game. However Rap-Up later revealed that the album had been re-titled Stronger with Each Tear.
Hitomi Furuya(古谷 仁美,Furuya Hitomi, born January 26, 1976), known mononymously as hitomi, is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She began her career as model, but after meeting Tetsuya Komuro he began managing her career as a pop singer. In 1998 she left the "Komuro Family" and started working with other musicians and producers, oriented to other musical genres such as pop rock, and more recently to electropop.
Biography
Early life
Born Hitomi Furuya(古谷 仁美,Furuya Hitomi) in Tochigi, Japan, Hitomi's family relocated to Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture when she was a child. Consequently, Hitomi always identified herself as a girl from Kanagawa. hitomi was an enthusiastic athlete throughout her childhood, playing baseball, soccer, and basketball, as well as an avid reader of manga. When hitomi was 16 years old, she was spotted and approached by a scout from a modelling agency. Hitomi signed a short modelling contract and began appearing in magazines while she was still in high school.
In 1993, then 17 years old, Furuya was spotted by eminent Avex music producer Tetsuya Komuro at an audition. Komuro signed Furuya to Avex, put Furuya through vocal training, and decided that she should use an all-lowercase 'hitomi' as her stage name. The following year, in November 1994, hitomi released her debut single, "Let's Play Winter", through Avex Trax, to which she wrote the lyrics. Since then, Hitomi has been the lyricist for almost all of her songs.
I Am... Sasha Fierce is the third studio album by American recording artist Beyoncé. It was released on November 15, 2008, by Music World Entertainment and Columbia Records. In its initial release, the album was formatted as a dual disc, intending to market Beyoncé's contrasting facets of artistry. The first disc, I Am..., contains slow and midtempopop and R&Bballads, while the second, Sasha Fierce (named after Beyoncé's on-stage alter ego), focuses on more uptempo beats that blend electropop and Europop genres. In composing the songs' lyrics, Beyoncé worked with many writers, with each session accompanied by live orchestration.
Beyoncé credited both her husband, rapper Jay Z, and jazz singer Etta James for inspiring her to push the limits of her songwriting and artistry. Musically, I Am... drew inspiration from folk and alternative rock, while blending acoustic guitar elements into contemporary ballads. The tracks on the first disc were written and produced by Beyoncé, during collaborative efforts with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Ryan Tedder. Sasha Fierce boasted production from Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and Sean "The Pen" Garrett. The album received generally lukewarm reviews from critics, many of whom felt that it does not properly differentiate the double-discs' contrasts and goals.
"Right Said Fred" is a novelty song written by Ted Dicks, and Myles Rudge, famously recorded as a single by Bernard Cribbins in 1962. It reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. It is about 3 men (the narrator, "Fred", and "Charlie") working as manual labourers who trying to move an unidentified object (although it is clarified that it has feet, a seat, handles and candleholders) in a building without success, eventually failing and giving up after having dismantled said object, part-demolished the building (including removing a door and wall) and taking numerous tea breaks.
Ted Dicks said that he was inspired to write the song by incidents that took place when he employed men to move a grand piano he had bought. Cribbins recorded it at the Abbey Road Studios, and sound effects were added by the producer George Martin, who would later become famous for his work with the Beatles.

With this album, Blige achieved a record of nine albums to have debuted at the top of the US R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Background
Blige started working on her ninth album while she toured with Robin Thicke in 2008. In an interview with Rap-Up magazine she said:
The album was initially titled Stronger after the song, "Stronger" which Blige recorded and released as the lead single from the soundtrack Music Inspired by More Than a Game from the LeBron James' documentary More Than a Game. However Rap-Up later revealed that the album had been re-titled Stronger with Each Tear.
You were always cunning like the game you played Cuz yr mind is kind as yr friends would say You got what you wanted but not what you needed No matter how hard you pleaded You're eighteen and you know it all So how in the hell could you ever fall You're such a thoughtless gutless fool Who taught you 'bout drugs And kept you outta school Right! I am right I am right! I am right No one, no one is gonna tell me otherwise No one, no one is gonna fill this boy with lies Yr trashcan jazzman really was a has-been Though you laid him down like he was the last man Though your family never took a calling When they built the covers you were injected With yr back in a brace, yr arms in a sling You got to 2nd Avenue and had yr fling You were body time to the protest line But what did you get from screaming screaming Screaming: I am right! I am right I am right! I am right No one, no one is gonna tell me otherwise No one, no one is gonna fill this boy with lies So forth and so forth, you really had a cold heart Once on yr knees, you weren't such a bad sport You started cryin' when they caught you lyin' No one ever said you weren't tryin' Yr mind on the freeway, yr mouth on a cliche You walk thru the party, talking like a DJ You like the rations, and little glass fashions Your painted slogans really say: I am right! I am right I am right! I am right No one, no one is gonna tell me otherwise
