This is a new low for Disney's music marketing team and executives.
Freya Skye's cover of Who Says was released on tiktok about a week ago, which is a week after Jojo Siva released her cover of Karma.
If you don't know the drama there, the short of it is that Jojo did a lot to imply she wrote it, so when it came out that she just bought the rights to it, people were pissed.
Back to Freya, she was hyping Who Says up as a cover on instagram before the Jojo drama started, but when it came time for the actual release, her tiktoks referred to it as "her song" and "new song" instead of a cover, leading people to accuse her of trying to say it's an original song and not give credit to Selena Gomez.
Keeping in mind she's a Disney girl and knowing Disney's tight grip on their stars and their social media, there's no way she was in charge of making those videos or the captions. The social media team at Disney decided that the press and attention they'd get for making it look like Freya was trying to claim Who Says as an original was worth throwing this poor girl under the bus. After all, whether people are streaming Freya's version or Selena's, money's still going into Disney's pocket.
Oh, and they're doing it to Kylie Cantrall's cover of Boo'd Up now, too, even after there was so much backlash against Freya that they had to go back in and edit captions and remove the song from a video that said "my song" in the text.
These poor girls are being chewed up by Disney the same way their predecessors were, even in the wake of Quiet on Set and enhanced public scrutiny of children's entertainment companies. It's absolutely disgusting and I hope Freya and Kylie can get out and get on top now that Disney's actively trying to bomb their careers.

I heard this song recently on Blip.fm (http://bit.ly/a8hu6B) and I wondered how it would go with the music video for the original Soundgarden song. So I adapted it and here is the result... All video was taken from the Soundgarden music video, which you can see here: • Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

VINCE NEIL – “You’re Invited (But Your Friend Can’t Come)” (1992 Hollywood single)
“Woahow!”
In 1992, post-split, Vince Neil was out of the gates fast with a killer new single, while we had to wait two more years for Motley Crue to make their move. It certainly seemed that Neil was winning the Crue vs. Vince competition, especially when his Exposed album with Steve Stevens was released in 1993. …
Hollywood records, ¿tu que haces acá? ¿Sera posible que Miley cyrus cante canciones que grabó con la disquera? Eso o ¿acaso cantará canciones de su personaje Hannah Montana?
