Nikki sound scan can’t certify you Platinum. Only 1 place can do that. And that’s the RIAA.

Billboard even has a disclaimer and a email so you can send them corrections if they are wrong.

No disrespect to you, just trying to give you good info. RIAA are the only ones who give the certified awards. The RIAA is also what the music industry goes by and set the standard.

If and artist OFFICALLY states they are gold or Plat and are not, they can be sued. That’s why you never hear them say it, or the say shipped. They hope the average consumer won’t pay attentionto the “shipped” part.

Good luck to everyone in the movie!!! It looks like it is going to be fabulous!!! I hope Jennifer wins an Oscar and Bee win an Oscar for Listen!!! I can’t wait to watch this movie!!!

And for yall information Beyonce’s album B’DAY is back in the top ten at #9! She even skipped over Justin!!!! Go Bee!!! She is double plat worldwide!!! Her sales are doing fantastic compared to everyone elses’s! And Irreplaceable is #1 on Itunes, #3 on Billboard hot 100, #1 on the R&B charts and #5 on on Pop 100! She is headed straight to number one!!!

@ #149 and 147,thanks y’all, these haters will still hate if even if you’re showing them facts and figures. it is not that complictaed, soundscan does the tracking of the actually sales of the CDs, while RIAA does the track of the shipments of those CDs, but mostly deal with the certification.both work hand in hand for billboard.com. bottomline bee is already platinum plus and already on her way in achieving 2x platinum.

@152, thanks for stating the facts and figures,bee is definately on her way up…..stay tunned

Who cares?

FACT remains BEYONCE did not sell nearly as many albums as she did with “DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE”…

This 2nd album sucks & PALES in SHAME compared to her FIRST ALBUM! She brags about having done the second album in only 2 weeks…

like we cant tell it was done in 2 weeks! Plus she got HELP? that is one of the worst albums I have ever heard & I thought she’d do better after her FIRST ALBUM.

@damshespretty, guess what,RIAA already certified bee platinum already and she’s on her way in achieving 2x platinum shortly, trust billboard doesn’t mess around when comes to stuff like that,so both soundscan and RIAA r both use by billboard.

YES Beyonce’s B-Day is a history maker

Best 1st week for any Female 2006 542,000 copies

Has SOLD..not shipped SOLD 1.5 million in the U.S according to Billboard.com

Deja Vu #1 in UK, and R&B charts, and #4 on Hot 100

Irreplaceable #1 in Ire, #3 in UK, #3 Hot 100 and #1 on R&B

Get Me Bodied is the next single and is already a hit in the clubs..all the white girls knocking hoes down to hit the dancefloor….
Will go number one

And Upgrade you will also be a hit when released in the at the summer……This album will def sell at least 3 million

@Damshespretty, no disrespect taken. I’m not a stan, I just like to provide facts. You’re right the RIAA is the only entity that certifies albums, but they certify albums based on shipments, which really isn’t an accurate representation. Janet Jackson was just certified platinum last week, but she’s only actually sold a little over 500,000 copies. Soundscan records how many records are actually sold (not including catalog or club sales), so it is pretty accurate as far as how many people actually bought the album. It doesn’t just show how many have been shipped to stores. Although the RIAA is the only entity that certifies albums, it doesn’t update its website regularly. If you go now and search for FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake, you won’t find it in his list of certifications, but we all know he’s sold over a million copies. So has Beyonce. And again, I’m not a “stan” per se, but I feel like there is a lot of unwarranted negative energy on this post.

sigh

1) B’Day by Beyone worldwide sales - 1.970 million copies

2) Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera worlwide sales - 2.254 million

These numbers are as of November 21 2006

3) Letoya, Justin, Xtina didn’t spend the $$$$$$ promoting their albums that Beyonce did

4) The aforementioned artist didn’t have rumours and speculation of record execs buying their albums like Beyonce did

5) the aforementioned artist didn’t have to release 3 singles in 5 months to reach platinum

Note to Beyonce fans: stay away from CNN. I just saw a clip they showed about the movie and they’re saying what many are saying on this blog. This movie is all J Hud

On another note, Beyonce looks EXACTLY like her mom in the first pic. I also still can’t stand Jamie. Sorry

@ #1…Don’t you mean you hate how “they” are RE-volving not E-volving this movie around Beyonce?

I mean, I am as sick of her as the next one because all she is is a pretty somewhat talented MARKETING MACHINE, but get it right!!

It is so embarracing when people of color use somewhat BIG words and use them incorrectly. I am not perfect but DAMN!!! It’s bad enough we have to read all of the typos on this site but now the readers have caught on to it as well LOL

But I love you CL!!

Who cares!!

DAMN. What does that have to do with DREAM GIRLS??

BEYONCE wont win an “OSCAR” with her whack ass ACTING SKILLS, I can tell you that much!!

LMAO! you are going on & on & on about Album sales & FACTS, & whats truth & not!

man PLEASE! what about EDDIE, JAMIE? Were those HAIR PIECES a RIOT or what? LOL!!

Sorry I looked in the top 10 and she wasn’t there. She is #16. Last week she was # 13. That’s going down not up.

P.S. Still behind Justin NOT ahead. Justin in # 9. When Britt comes out she is going to shut ever body down anyway. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

@tianni , well y’all the ones always bringing up up her total record sales,so therefore it has to be addressed especially with the level of ignorance and lies being displayed on here(thank u).plus compare to her first album,she’s doing much better, she might not have alot of #1 singles with this record, coz gettin #1 single doesn’t equate record sales(fergie), coz anybody can have a #1 single but their album can still flop. what matters is the total record sales in the long run….. and trust bday is gonna outdo DIL in the long run,already bday gave her best first week sales in her career,which was also crictal acclaimed compare to Dangerouse in love……..like i said b4,stay tunned, bee is just gettin warmed.

Get is STRAIGHT, I never mentioned her “ALBUM SALES”! other than that she aint make close to as much as she did on her FIRSTY ALBUM!

so STFU!!!

umm, DIL did MUCH better than B’Day did last time around

LOL

poor CJ and other stans.

oh well.

wow @159

1. Christina has been out longer than Beyonce!!!

2. Beyonce promoted heavily for one week straight and after that she wasn’t even in the country anymore!!! She did no promotion and was STILL able to sell!

3. How do you know how much money other people spent on promotions?

4. Record execs buying records has been rumored for almost EVERY major artist! Duh!! It is NOT unusual!

And Beyonce has NEVER said this movie was about her, nor did Beyonce fans!! So what is your point?

@damshespretty, uh thats becuz it hasn’t be updated yet(d’oh) why don’t u stop being stubborn and read the damn update article on the billboard 200. i swear, reading is Fundamental but not for the mentals!!!

TEAM JENIFER!!

To Damshespretty, not trying to argue with you, but they haven’t updated the charts page yet. I provided the link in an earlier post. Game is #1 this week, Akon is #2, etc…

Anyway, this doesn’t really have anything to do with the point of this post. I guess I am in the minority of the people who is excited to see this film, not for Beyonce, but for everybody. Jamie Foxx is one of my favorite comedians, and I have loved Jennifer since her AI audition. I can’t wait!

30 - what are you trying to say.. that Beyonce bleaches her skin? Firstly so what if she does and.. secondly have a look at her baby pictures shes been a light skinned black since day one, and 46 - so what if shes had a breast implants ( which she hasn’t, if anything they’re smaller).. even if she has they look real.. unlike lil kim and others..

Actually B’DAY was much more CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED than DIL!!! FACT!!! B’DAY has also been selling much faster and better than DIL!!! FACT!!!

@Damshepretty or whatever!!! The number were just released recently!! She is actually number nine now!!! Seriously!!! She has jumped from 16 to 9! Billboard has not updated yet!

WHAT. Your the one getting your facts from them. Now that she is #16 it’s not updated?

CJ. Your a fucking joke! Go do your homework, before your mother takes your computer away all weekend.

No need to respond. I’m Done with you!

@damshespretty, here u go,try Opening your eyes and Read!!!!! , plus here a hint,game is #1 this for a week.

“Two popular urban acts occupy the top two spots on The Billboard 200 this week, with the Game’s “Doctor’s Advocate” coming in at No. 1. The Geffen effort moved 358,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a significant drop off from the 587,000-unit first week of his 2005 debut, “The Documentary.” However, the new album’s total was more than enough to debut at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Akon’s SRC/Up Front/Konvict set “Konvicted” sold 284,000 to bow at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The artist’s 2004 debut, “Trouble,” had a much more modest opening with 24,000. “Konvicted” has benefited from two huge singles, “I Wanna Love You” (featuring Snoop Dogg) and “Smack That” (featuring Eminem), both of which have peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 thus far.

The Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group/EMI/Universal/Zomba hits compilation “NOW 23″ falls to No. 3 after its No. 1 start last week, selling 194,000, a slide of 42%. Josh Groban’s “Awake” (143/Reprise) follows suit, descending 2-4 with 150,000 and -44% sales hit.

The soundtrack to Disney’s “Hannah Montana” keeps the No. 5 spot warm for a second week with 114,000, a 13% dip. Keith Urban’s Capitol Nashville release “Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing” drops 3-6 with 103,000 (-62%) while Sugarland’s “Enjoy the Ride” (Mercury) slips 4-7 with 81,000 (-61%).

Rock duo Tenacious D cruises to a No. 8 debut with the Epic soundtrack to its film “The Pick of Destiny.” The album sold 81,000 copies, nearly double the 42,000 the group’s self-titled debut moved in its first week in 2001. That album has since shifted 987,000 copies.

Beyonce’s Columbia set “B’Day” re-enters the top tier, climbing 16-9 with 68,000, a 17% sales increase.

“When Your Heart Stops Beating” by (+44), which comprises two former Blink 182 members, enters at No. 10. The Interscope release moved 66,000 units and also enters at No. 2 on the Top Rock Albums chart, behind “The Pick of Destiny.”

Rapper Fat Joe debuts at No. 14 with “Me, Myself & I,” his first album with EMI’s Imperial Records. The set sold 60,000 units, earning Joe a No. 3 on debut Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and a No. 2 start on Top Rap Albums.

Damien Rice’s “9″ (Vector/Warner Bros.) cracks the big chart at No. 22 with 45,000, his best charting and sales week. The Irish singer/songwriter’s 2003 album, “O,” only managed a No. 114 peak. Other big debuts this week include Kenny G’s “I’m In the Mood for Love” (No. 37; 32,000) and Staind’s “Singles 1996-2006″ (No. 41; 27,000).

Overall CD sales are up 4.5% from last week’s count and down 4.7% compared to the same week a year ago at 12.49 million units. Sales for 2006 are down 5% compared to 2005 at 468.7 million units.”

——————————————————————————–

WHAT EVER is NOT pertaining to the actual BLOG is going to be DELETED anyway so you all posting all these “so-called” FACTS & BILLBOARD “RESEARCH” RESULTS are all waisting your time & space!

This POST is about “DREAM GIRLS”!

NOT BEYONYCE & her WHACK ASSED 2nd album!

It’s about her TERRIBLE “ACTING”, the main reason she wont be walking away with the OSCAR either! (not for LEAD ROLE ACTRESS) at least.

LOL!

talk about that!

Damshepretty GET OVER YOURSELF!!! B’DAY is number nine now so deal with it!!! You really need to grow up!

~*I have neva slept on this movie b/c I knew it was going to be great… I love the Whole entire cast… Jamie Foxx of course is a great talented person, we all know he will be doing him. Eddie Murphy is also talented I can’t wait to see his caracter. Beyonce im sure has improved on her acting, she is talented vocaly. i’m glad she went out of her way for her caracter Deena… j-Hud, I absolutly can not wait to see her act and hear her sing. She is def gonna blow up. Glad she has spot-light. Anika, she is cute humble and short, she had to wear like 5-6 inch hills… I give her props for that… I wear hills every day not just because i’m short but thats just me and 4 inch hills can be a challenge in itself. I heard Danny Glover is in this movie too… he is a legend… so we should’nt point fame towards any one person but towards this move. The move “Dreamgirls” is going to be a hit.. point blank.

WHATS A STAN?

@damshespretty ,awwwwwwwwww, is that the best you can do!!!, u so pathethic and lame that it’s not funny.go sit sorry dumb azz somewhere!!!!!!!!!!! stay out of grown folks business, if u can’t hang.

STAN: an “OVER OBSESSED FAN”.

Listen premieres tonight at 11pm on MTV they showed a little of it today.Beyonce looks kind of pale in these pictures.

Nikki I don’t have a problem with Beyonce. I think she is a talented artist and not only am I going to see the movie, I paid $25 in advance to do so. (xmas present for my little sister)

I respect you and your FACTS. I don’t respect people who think I have to get down and kiss her ass becasue she can sing, and start attacking people who don’t think she is the best thing since bread.

Have a good day.

#180

BEYONCE is PALE!

Without being bathed in the SUN or sprayed with a BRONZER…she can be as PALE as a SHEET! The same goes for her mom TINA. Why is everyone so surprised at how PALE & LIGHT this chick is?

Bee will not get an Oscar or even nominated. People were talking all that before they saw the movie. Now she is not even mentioned when they talk Oscar. The movie role of her life was done out By J. Hudson.

Team J. Hudson!

Just curious? Why is everyone getting riled up about a woman none of you mostly likely don’t even know personally? I think Beyonce is lovely and makes good music, and I feel the same way about Jennifer Hudson. I wish both of them the best. Some people are arguing on here like someone owes them money. It’s not that serious, y’all.

Okay Beyonce can’t act her way out of a damn toaster!!

SHE IS THAT BAD STANS! GET OVER IT!

I mean she’ll be lucky to get a Razzie nomination (thats for the bad actors like Beyonce).

REVISED DEFINITION of a STAN:

STAN: “An OVERLY OBSSESSED FAN-ADDICT”

(And they are in FULL EFFECT TODAY!)

#176
the word is spelled “HEELS” not “HILLS”.

@tianni, well thats your opinion(which really doesn’t count) ,bottom line those facts and figures r true,u can try twisted it and all,but it still stands!!!
bday is a success all across the board,whether u like it or not….so deal it!!!!!!!!

about dreamgirls,it’s a great ensemble cast, everyone did great,as for chances for oscar,i see bee chnace in winning for best song,eddie murphy for best actor and oscar for best picture. like bee clearly state in her abc nightline interview,she’s not expecting an oscar in acting for this,she’s simply content with experience(now thats being humble), as jennifer hudson,who i did alright for her first major movie role(nothing groundbreaking) will NOT winning an oscar on her first try, she needs to prove herself some more,plus she will be lucky if she even gets nominated.way talented and amazing actresses that r due for an oscar.thats just how the game works

I am on Eveyone’s team!!! I wish them all the best of Luck!!!! Beyonce has stated herself that this movie was not about Deena nor does she think she will win an Oscar for it! But she said that the movie does deserve an Oscar! She also said she was happy with the movie because she was able to prove to herself that she could do it and wanted to prove to everyone else also. So yall need to stop making it out to be a competition between the two because it definitely isn’t!! Jenifer is definitely going to get her recognition and she deserves it! I also think Bee will get an Oscar for best Original song!!! Best of luck to everyone!!!

CJ…

WHO CARES?

MOVE ON & GET OVER IT! EVERYBODY IS PAST THAT RECORD SALES STUFF BUT YOU! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

THE TOPIC IS “DREAM GIRLS”…

DREAM……….GIRLS.

GOOD-NESS!

J Hudson is always so RADIENT, like she is truly happy with her life right now!!! I LOVE to see that from entertainers because that usualy means they are going to give us our money’s worth and then some everytime because they truely LOVE what they are doing,like myself, not because they have spent so much time and MONEY to make it there and are bored by the time they finally make it!

It’s time for real singing to come back!

To the UNTRAINED EAR, Beyonce sounds great! But to the trained ear…….

This is MY opinion on Beyonce’s “WONDERFULL” singing voice (cuz Lord KNOWS that girl sounds GOOFY as HELL when she speaks lol). She CAN sing, but she can’t SANG if you know what I mean and this is how she sounds to me…

Her VIBRATO is extreemly IRRITATING to me. She sounds like she is FORCING it all of the time, like it is not NATURAL but TRAINED without very much natural talent comming from her!!! You don’t always have VIBRATO in your songs to sound GOOD!! If you listen closely to most of the GREATS IMO Celine, Mariah, their voices have more POWER than VIBRATO and they sound GREAT, not FORCED!!!

Her voice sounds like lots of TIME and MONEY instead of NATURAL TALENT. I couldn’t put my finger on it for a long time but I’ve got now!!! By George I’ve got it LOL!!!!

But to the UNTRAINED EAR, Beyonce sounds GREAT…BETTER THAN GREAT to some!! BUT, I TRUELY BELIEVE that most people who listen to music are TONE DEAF (no joke). She is EXCEPTABLE for lack of a better word, not EXCEPTIONAL like Whitney, Mariah, Gladys, STEVIE and a few others. Hell, I don’t even think Christina is a good as Tamia when it comes down to it!!!

To me,she sounds like a producer it telling her “Okay,stop, Sing it like THIS Beyonce” And she is VERY good at doing what people tell her to do. That can be very GOOD or very BAD if you know what I mean.

Jennifer Hudson IMHO has that NATURAL from THE CHURCH type vibrato and talent that R&B music is based on!! She didn’t have anyone that could quit their 6 figure a year job to manage her and spend $5000 on picture packages, build a stage to practice on and all of the things Mathiew Knowles was able to do for his daughter. MOST of us that are trying to make it don’t have that kind of father if ANY father or anyone else in our families that are fortunate enough to be able to push us like that?! It’s too bad though!

But I DO have to say GOD BLESS Mathiew Knowles for stepping up and doing for his daugher what so many of us black folks (and other races too)need but are missing.

Just My Opinion….STANS…CONTINUE lol!!!!

REVISED DEFINITION of a HATER:

HATER: “An OVERLY OBSSESSED HATEFUL ANTI-person”
usually they don’t even like themselves, alot of self conflicting issues,refuse to acknowledge facts,always like being in dark about information, and would rather feed off false fabrications,rather than seek the truth.

(And they are in FULL EFFECT TODAY!)

#176

Jen Hudsons hairweave is off the chain. Man!!, I need to hit up the beuty supply store

@ CJ

I said her 2nd album is WHACK, & thats my OPINION. I WILL SAY IT ALL I WANT TO, THE ONLY PERSON IT SEEMS TO BE BOTHERING IS “YOU”.

BEYONCE’s 2nd ALBUM is “GARBAGE”, & I COULD CARE LESS HOW MANY ALBUMS SHE SOLD WITH IT. She didn’t get a DIME out of my POCKETS for the TRASH so I could care less how many albums was sold from it.

In addition, DREAM GIRLS is going to be a wonderful MOVIE, & though this is probably BEYONCE’s best ACTING work to date, she still is a HORRIBLE actress in my opinion, & I dont think she will win a single OSCAR for her work in this MOVIE.

People are really obsessed with this girl. HAHAHA Dreamgirls will be a huge hit but I hadn’t heard about the $20/25 tickets!!! I will wait till all that’s done and hit the matinee for $6.00.

The whole Soundscan/Billboard/RIAA debate is hilarious, the new album IMO sucks and I didn’t buy it. Dangerously in Love is a classic and I still listen to it. She said the new album took two weeks and it sounds like it.

@ # 9 and 12 co-sign!! The Knowles are RUTHLESS when it comes to Beyonce and her career, but REAL TALENT doesn’t have to act like that!!!

The truth shall surface eventually about that almost WIERDO family!!!

Mathiew Knowles could very well be the next JOE JACKSON AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

@CJ

I am glad you know what a “HATER” is because you are obviously talking about yourself, constantly on here “HATING” on other peoples opinions.

So digest your definition & know that you are the HATER you DEFINE so well.

PLUS you are a “STAN”

LOL!!

The movie will probaly do great. Hollywood usually doesn’t support all black cast, so let’s support our people. From what I hear J. Hudson holds her own with Danny Glover and that’s saying alot. For everyone to be raveing about her is a blessing.

Let’s talk about how great she is and how naturally talented she is. And it’s all because she just is. No pushing from parents, no marketing plan, and even when there is a big marketing plan where she is barely mentioned, she still shines bigger and brighter than anybody!

@PLEEZE,awwwwwwww, here we go with vocal ability attack,i swear haters will search high and low for any thing to put beyonce down, plus i wonder who appointed u to be the judge of vocal skills. intresting enough, the legends,such as whitney, mariah,patti,tina,linonel richie,toni braxton, mary j blige and chaka khan all give beyonce props for vocal skills.at least these artists have a better ear for vocal skills than a 1 sided Opinionated hater. bottom line, it’s either u have it or not, beyonce is a natrual when it comes to vocal skills, her parents were just smart enough to have it trained, thats why her vocal versatility is crazy, she’s got the range, vocal power to emote a song with the right emtions,she can belt,do runs,has good control her vocal pitch and vibrato. plus her She is also capable of employing high and fast melismas and this technique is a unique feature to her sound. sure jennifer hudson is a gifted vocalist, with a powerful voice and all, she still needs to learn to control her voice(now she’s signed to j records,i know clive davis is gonna have her train that voice to perfection).Even whitney and mariah got their vocal raw talent trained

STAN…
PLEASE!

Beyonce looks just like her mom in those pics, and Jennifer looks amazing!!! She is a beautiful young lady it looks like she is really on her way, Go Sista!!

SO BECAUSE SHE WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE PARENTS TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE DEAL WITH HER, SHE’S NOT A NATURAL TALENT?

BUT IF SHE HAD WAITED TILL SHE WAS 23 AND LEFT HOME TO GO TO THE BIG CITY IN SEARCH OF A DEAL, AND STRUGGGLED FOR YEARS, SHE WOULD HAVE NATURAL TALENT?

ALL I CAN LEARN FROM BEYONCE IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED?

SOME WILL EVEN ACT LIKE YOU’RE THE CAUSE OF ALL THINGS EVIL.

@tianni

well thank you…… at least even if i might not like a particular artist,i can appreciate their talent and still give credit and props where it’s due, than hating blindly without any credible reason, or making assumptions without even examining the facts!!!

ppl always say shyt about the knowles family , but no one ever have first hand information. everyone always hear from a source. if they do all these evil things how come no one can show first hand evidence.
When you’re on top everyone will talk shyt about you because thats one thing black american are good at is tearing down each other.
ppl say they’re tired of beyonce but they’re always up in a beyonce post. The media have her every where because she is the deal if the media dont talk about your artist maybe he/she is not worthy to be talk about

Bill Said:

It’s IDOL worship…..

it’s all so sad….

I wish some people would give there liveds to JESUS instead of Beyonce…..

#196 I agree. I wish people would grow up and realize that Beyonce is not everyone’s ideal of top entertainment or beauty. Just like they have the right to LOVE Beyonce, others have the right to dislike her or like her but not think the sun rises and sets on her.

For those who SLEEP on J.HUDSON and her singing GIFTS, TALENTS & VOCAL RANGE & CONTROL…& FOR ALL THE “DOUGHTERS”..

simply go to: YOU TUBE.com

search word JENNIFER HUDSON, to see some of her work–most noted from her CHURCH BACK GROUND & AMERICAN IDOL performances.

They picked the RIGHT WOMAN for this ROLE. From the original Broadway Play–She is taking on the ROLE of “JENNIFER HOLIDAY” (much noted for her POWER HOUSE voice a LEGEND in her own right) One of the BEST VOICES in HISTORY! J.HUDSON is filling her shoes, when I heard she was playing the same role as JENNIFER HOLIDAY, I knew they had picked the right woman for the job.

I wish her MUCH SUCCESS.

*those of you who are too young to RECOGNIZE who “JENNIFER HOLIDAY” is…look her up on YOU TUBE.COM as well.

If you are up for hearing REAL “SANGIN’” & GOD GIVEN VOCAL TALENT.

@CJ
Preech!!!!!!!!!! all y’all haters to the left, left!!!!!!!!!!

WHY ARE PEOPLE ACTING ALL DEFENSIVE

CALLING PPPL STANS….SO I GUESS YOU’RE A STAN OF J.HUDSON AS WELL?

J.HUDSON SAID BEE IS HER FAV SINGER. BEE SAID SHE’S NOT COUNTING ON WINNING AN OSCAR CUZ THE MOVIE IS NOT EVEN ABOUT DEEENA. OBVIOUSLY EFFIE IS THE STAR.

WHAT IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT. ITS JUST A MOVIE.

hello bill how was your holiday?..if u celebrated.

#12 girl I saw how the audience on Oprah reacted to Jennifer, her voice is special and very soulful something Beyonce, regardless of how people try to blow her up, is most definitely lacking….SOUL! She shouldn’t hate she should know she doesn’t have skills like Jen. I saw the performance on Oprah Beyonce is so Diana Ross like it’s disgusting, I don’t see how people can stand it. I used to love B but now it’s too Hollywood for my blood. You can work in Hollywood but don’t start thinking you are apart of that world and acting like it, that’s horrible!

#206 NEXT!!!!!!!!!! please tamyra gray can circles around her.hmmmmmmmmmm, did y’all hear ms holliday ain’t happy with the fact that dreamworks were using her vocals for the promo and NOT ms jhud as everyone thought.definately not a good look,and ms holliday si accusing jhud of ripping her style for the song,no ma’am!!!!!!!!

@ CJ

I never said anything about “FACTS”. so go back & READ & GET IT TOGETHER! you have me MIXED up with some body else! I HATE, on no one. I just EXPRESS my opinion as I have a right to.

YOU are the only HATER on here (along with the other STANS)taking everyones comments & JUDGING THEM! & LASHING BACK @ them as if they were personally attacking YOU or posting OPINIONS about YOU…

YOU ARE NOT “BEYONCE”…..why are you so DEFENSIVE “CJ”?

I bet there are more people on this board debating this stupid sh!t than were participants at the Million Man March back in ‘95!

having soul is relative boo,hell at some point some folks felt that whitney didn’t have soul even though she was a great singer.shit some folks feel Justin timberlake got soul(LOL). it all relative boo…

#204 damn evidence its obvious how the Knowles family gets down. When you loose 3 members 2 at one time and 1 later with Michele that all say the same thing, that should tell you something. Not trying to be rude no one is hating on Beyonce but some people see through all that makeup and fakeness its like another Diana Ross and that ain’t cute!

I’m happy that this movie has become a phenomenon even before its release. But I must admit, Beyonce did seem a bit jealous on Oprah. Jennifer and Anika seemed to outshine her. They were so personable, while bey seemed to disappear when they spoke. We are all used to seeing Beyonce in the spotlight, but this time, she’s not the star of the bunch…she’s the accessory.

^^ LOL

WHY DO PPL FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO DEFEND BEE

NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, IT AINT GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE

WE ALL GOT OUR MINDS MADE UP

TO what you know about that

WOW…

IF SHE TRIED TO MAKE HERSELF SHINE, SHE A BITCH

IF SHE DOESNT, SHES AN ACCESSORY

ITS THE CAST OF DREAMGIRLS NOT DAMM DESTINY CHILD

@tianni
hmmmmmmmm,now u wanna retract your comment.well excuse me, but when u take sublime shots at me and shit, im have to address it coz i don’t play that, and no im beyonce, im just a fan that simply recognise and appreciate her talenst(wheteher it’s her vocal= skills or beauty).plus for trhe record im also a fan of jennifer hudson,and i can appreciate her vocal talent and skills, even though she’s not my best vocalist.it’s all about being matured and adult about, so don’t serve out something you can take or deal with!

216 u said it so well
bey is talented to a great degree
but da stans really are trippin cuz she’s always been placed as the obvious one to get her shine on in every project and this time it aint so

how bout we all go see the movie
whether you going to hate on j hud or beyonce, or going cuz you love j hud or beyonce, if you wanna see if jamie’s hairline drips down his for head in the movie, or if you just wanna support a movie with a black cast…..i would pick the last option if i were y’all.

Everyone is always sitting in the wings waiting for stars to do bad. It seems like people are mad because Beyonce’ is good at what she does. It seems like people are waiting for her to do bad. Waiting for someone to outshine her. I am the ultimate Beyonce’ fan. I hear Jennifer Hudson sings the hell out of that song and I’m dying to hear it. Just because Jennifer Hudson does well that doesn’t discredit Bee it just means that Jennifer Hudson is a WONDERFUL talent. I hope she wins an Oscar just because this would be her 1st major performance and Simon talked so bad about her. Beyonce’ is a star in her own right. It has nothing to do with Jennifer against Beyonce’. Its about 2 talented, beautiful African American females displaying their talent and setting an example for us all to follow. If you have dreams go for it. Be the best you you can be. All that other stuff ya’ll are talking about is irrelevant.

Thanks!

niggas hate on beyonce because she have good parents. Beyonce is not why lots of you have single parent she did not let lots of you have a mess up child hood she was not the one who put you and your family in the ghetto and she should’t have to feel guilty because she was born in a middle class family.her family saw her talent and they encourage it.
just remember who god bless no one curse
if you want to state your opinion about her do it base on facts dont make up ignorant shyt with here say. Ue facts to suport your opinion. I always said Janet cannot sing but support it with facts. she never sings someone else’s song. she never do a tribute to another artist like they do at award shows she’s supose to be an icon and i never heard sing the national anthem at a function.she only does her songs those are facts

LET’S BE REAL - BEY WAS THREATENED LIKE HELL WHEN JHUD WAS GETTING ALL THE PRAISE FROM OPRAH…A BIG GIRL AT THAT!

OPRAH MADE IT A POINT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW SHE IS 100% BEHIND JHUD. THANK YOU OPRAH! LET’s BE REAL PEOPLE. BEY WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF JHUD ON THAT SHOW AND IF SHE COULD BE SO SPOILED IMAGINE HOW SHE ACTS OFF CAMERA AT ALL THE OSCAR BUZZ AROUND JHUD!
