Friday, November 24, 2006
Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce Knowles, Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy were in a press conference last week talking about the movie ‘Dreamgirls’ of course.
In more Dreamgirls news, tune in to MTV next week to catch the video premiere of the movie’s first single ‘Listen’ by Beyonce.
I can hear Eddie’s laugh right about now…

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!
Omg, and ppl have the rite to talk about stans
this comment is so outlandish….are u in beyonces mind?

I used to be a bey fan. I was a fan when I felt she was at her BEST (first album). So since I am not a fan now that means I am a hater? I still think she is pretty but she is NOT CONSISTANT with her talent. So, yes it is irritating when ppl are hyping her up and she’s THROWING music together.
Malcomb your #34 comment is contradicting. In the beginning of your comment you’re calling people ‘midnight bitches’and then you end with how we (black ppl) don’t support each other?
Your comment screams self hatred. And then your comment 203 is talking again about how we tear each other down.

Yes of course Oprah was very proud and fond of JHUD! But don’t dismiss how she feels about Bee! That was Beyonce fourth or fifth appearance on her show! She likes Beyonce very much as well! Oprah just knows to give credit where credit is due and Jennifer deserved it no doubt but it certainly doesn’t make Beyonce any less significant!

@ MALCOLM
I spoke on the KNOWLES family so I must say this: EVERYBODY knows that Mr. & Mrs KNOWLES raised BEYONCE to be “ON TOP”. TINA KNOWLES mentioned herself on TYRA that she had BEYONCE in “little girl” BEAUTY PAGEANTS from the age of 7 years old. BEYONCE said she has TROPHIES to show for that. There was pictures & video footage.
And of course we all know POPPA KNOWLES quit his job & the whole 9 & almost jepordized his marriage–to get a group of girls together including his DAUGHTER BEYONCE into CONTESTS, & COMPETITIONS etc…We all know BEYONCE is not even a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. Father would tell you in a minute his goal wasn’t for her to finish “SCHOOL”—felt her MUSIC CAREER was more important…
THESE are FACTS. Part of the reason BEYONCE is so messed up MENTALLY is her UP BRINGING.COMPETE, COMPETE, COMPETE, BE THE BEST, BE THE BEST, BE THE BEST! WIN, WIN, WIN.
She is a grown woman now & they are still pulliing her “PUPPET STRINGS”. they speak for her, answer tough questions for her, handle difficult obstacles, I dont applaud PARENTS like that, I am sorry…I dont.
I dont need to RESEARCH how BEYONCE was RAISED either or look up FACTS because her PARENTS tell this same story on how BEYONCE was brought up in every damn interview on them.
That family is WEIRD. They are not “NORMAL”. I actually feel sorry for BEYONCE at times, their is ALOT of PAIN & PRESSURE that we all just are not allowed to see. The girl can’t help but feel bad when she has not accomplished “1st PLACE” because she was raised to always be the “BEST”–rather than, “it’s okay to give others props for their accomplishments in this profession”. or “It’s okay to be in second place sometimes”.
I am almost sure there is some TRUTH behind that rumor that she is beginning to give J.HUDSON the cold shoulder her & her PARENTS…& that is just WRONG.

@225 HOW SO?????????? because from what was shown on the show,oprah was showing love and support for the entire cast, she neva display any form of favouritism(sp).plus if u wanna go there, beyonce has been on the oprah several times, nothin but pure constant love and support from oprah, besides this is jennifer hudson first appreance on the show(hopefully she will be back on again)and if oprah so much love Jennifer hudson than evereybody(in particular beyonce), why didn’t she ask her to sing, after all it is oprah’s show???? Right, Anyways she asked beyonce to sing,coz she knows wassup, and judging from jamie fox and oprah priceless expression,bee did great, SANNG her butt off.plus she was very composed,calm and relaxed, she neva showed any signs of jealousy, even when jennifer snobed her and went to hug oprah first(which is understandable since it;’s her first time meet oprah),she still maintain professional and humble attitude.sorry try again

I never heard that J. Holiday is pissed at J. Hudson.
I did read that Cheral Lee Ralph in not impressed with Beyonce. She doesn’t think she can do the role justice. She also said that the orininator of the play is disappointed in the choice of Beyonce becasue they didn’t want a light skin black for the part. (I don’t agree with that)
Dianna Ross is also said she doesn’t want Beyonce playing a chater that could be or not be her.
I don’t think anyone from the original cast of Dream girls likes the idea of how they are portraying movie. (I know D. Ross was not in the movie) Hollywood put it’s own twist on the movie. Money talks and thats all they are concerned about.

Some of y’all are about to loose your damn minds because Beyonce is the lead. Let that shit go, because it is not going to change. They didn’t make Deena the lead, because of Beyonce. She has always been it & unless they change the story she will always be. This argument is not new. They went through this same mess when it was Sheryl L. Ralph & Jennifer Holiday. Those two characters will always be rivals among fans. Sheryl had more stage time & Beyonce has more screen time. Jennifer Holiday had the most memorable performance & I’m sure Jennifer Hudson will do the same. Y’all just wait & watch, beacause Effie always steal the show!

I usually don’t comment, but there are just a few things that I would like to point out, and I think I can cuz I’m totally impartial:
Beyonce is a stunning young woman with a good singing voice, but all this talk about light and darkskinned is setting us back to slave days. Accept it: some of our ancestors got raped or wanted a baby with “good hair” and light skin, so we all look different. I personally go by the smoothness of skin, and Beyonce’s skin looks flawless. I also like the fact that she keeps her love life personal. It is none of our business.
We will never know how she really is cuz that’s how her parents want. All this speculation is just generating more sales for her. By the way, NOT a stan, didn’t buy the CD, wont buy it.
That said, the girl talks like she should be picking cotton. Mama Tina needs to get her a diction coach STAT! And maybe she should have finished high school.
Jennifer Hudson is cute and talented, and I’m sure she will be a star after this.

@damshespretty
got this from the inside edition site:
The hype is building for the Christmas release of Dreamgirls, the movie based on the hit Broadway show. But you can’t look at the movie without remembering the stars of the musical and the biggest of those stars, Jennifer Holiday says she is stunned because she was frozen out of the film project. INSIDE EDITION’s Deborah Norville spoke with her….she did say that jennifer hudson completely copied off of her…….she said she just really happy that the video of her singin “im telling u” in the broadway play has reach the internet,becuz now people can see she was the originator.She also said that on tthe dreamgirls trailor it was her voice singin “im tell u”…….she was about to cry cuz she didnt think it was right how they completely shut her out the whole thing………and she also said they sent her an invitation to the premier and shes going to attend.
get into it boo.

WELL, THAT IS INTERESTING!
I have heard JENNIFER HOLIDAYS original version of the song: “AND I AM TELLING YOU”. & I think that NO ONE will EVER be able to COPY her SOUL-FUL, BREATH TAKING, “UNIQUE” version of that particular song. With that said, I feel that she has nothing to worry about as far as J.HUDSON, & if anything she feel HONORED anyone would “try” & DUPLICATE her singing style in any way.
I think it was absolutely WRONG for the producers to not let MEMBERS of the original CAST of the MUSICAL not participate on set fot this project as well (if that is indeed the case) as far as suggestions, input, or comment. They were the ORIGINAL CAST MEMBERS, & the way these ACTORS & ACTRESSES portray them in the MOVIE may or may not effect them. We will see once the MOVIE is RELEASED.

If a person dislikes BEYONCE that does not make them a HATER. I dont DISLIKE her in fact I like some of her work. I stated that I feel her PARENTS treat her like a PUPPET. & I just think she SUCKS at ACTING & her SECOND ALBUM is TRASH!
That gives NO-ONE the right to ATTACK me!
*A person who likes BEYONCE as a singer, actress, simply admires her work–is not a STAN. If you like her MUSIC, & her work, That makes you a “FAN”.
When you are OVERLY, DEFENSIVE & “OBSSESSED” with BEYONCE objecting to everyones comments about her OPPOSITE of “your own”. Ex: SHE ALWAYS looks GREAT (nobody looks better), she ALWAYS sounds GREAT, HER ACTING IS FLAWLESS,JAY Z & HER are PROBLEM FREE (perfect couple), HER ALBUM SALES ARE PLATINUM–ALWAYS, SHE IS NEVER JEALOUS–NEVER! (If you hnd them a plate with her shit on it….they will EAT IT)! BECAUSE BEYONCE IS JUST “GREAT”!
BULL SHIT!
THAT IS A “STAN” !
“CJ” is one, & anyone who agrees & jumps on the band wagon with her. Or believes the above mentioned. They are on here all day EVERY DAY! waiting for someone like me to say…

The original DREAM GIRLS CAST. & They look just as good today as they did back then. I dont think they wanted ROLES on the set, just input. They made these characters LEGENDARY. It would not have been asking too much if the PRODUCER had invited them to the set.
c’mon think about it. It is better than “shutting them out”. I thought that was J.HUDSON’s voice in the preview…I would hope they didn’t use J.HOLIDAY’s voice without PERMISSION.

if this didn’t have beyonce’s name, would it have even gone 100 pages? some of all are just flat out haters. oprah asked jhud so sing but bee’s people said no. do yall know how stupid ya’ll sound? this is oprah’s show and she can have whoever she wants sing. it would make sense for bee to sing listen since it’s the offical first single off the dg soundtrack.
judging by all the posts, you guys did not watch nightline. coming straight from the horses mouth, beyonce said she DID NOT expect an oscar for this movie. she ADMITTED that the movie is not about deena and clearly says that she does not feel this movie is going to get her that oscar. she just wants this movie to prove to you haters that she can act. in an E! interview, she also stated that jhud did a great job and is going to become a SUPERSTAR after this film. some of ya’ll are filled w/so much hate for this girl that everything she says skips over head and straight into your ass.
just so ya’ll know too, jennifer holiday was on inside edition talking about how they used her voice on the i’m telling you scene for the previews and how jhudson totally copied off of her. she was talking about how people kept coming up to her and saying congrats cause they thought she got the part. ya’ll don’t seem to be bothered by that but if it was bee, all ya’ll would have something to say.
just in case you don’t believe me, here is the link to the nightline interview:

I just heard the J.HUDSON 5 minute full length version RECORDING of the song “AND I AM TELLING YOU” made FAMOUS by the LEGENDARY “JENNIFER HOLIDAY”.
& I must say…WHEW! BREATH-TAKING! She did come VERY, VERY, VERY close to the original JENNIFER HOLIDAY version, & (if true) I can see why JENNIFER HOLIDAY would be a little “disturbed” & “concerned”. I believe also that it was “J.HUDSONS” voice in the MOVIE PREVIEW not J.HOLIDAY but they sound “so similar” (as I figured they would) that it can be difficult to tell.
I think if J.HUDSON really wanted to she could have DUPLICATED J.HOLIDAYS style to a “TEE” with that song, but I can hear how she tried to make the song her own rather than DUPLICATE JENNIFER HOLIDAY.
WHEW! J.HUDSON did her thing man.

Malcom, I can understand your frustation as you are tired of hearing negative comments regarding Beyonce.
But you just told the whole world how ignorant you are with the “midnight bitches” comment. Talk about slavery. You are still one. It appears that you haven’t realized that slavery has ended and you are not a “house nigger” anymore.
It appears that you have been brainwashed by Massah to hate your darker race, and that you still consider anything that is not the color of at least a “brown paper bag” ugly and inferior.
It seems as you may be one of those black people that’s quick to holler racism, but you, by referring to certain black women as “midnight bitches”, are worse than any racist for condoning COLORISM. If you don’t know what colorism is, be smart and look it up.
Boy, no wonder we get no respect from other races.
Self Hate. Tsk, black people, will we ever learn?

I think Beyonce probaly is a little jealous of Jennifer Hudson, I saw the oprah show and Jen did get a LOOOOOOOG Standing ovatation, but Beyonce is use to it being all about her!!, She is BEYONCE’ for crying out loud. Its never been called “Destiny’s Child”, its been called “Beyonce’s Child”. So she might feel a little nervous. Thats life though.
I also think that Jennifer got a huge standing ovation cause she is from Chicago and the show is taped in Chicago!

Listen, everyone seems to always want to jump on the Beyonce’s bandwagon like she is just this “Miss Do No Wrong” princess. Even if she did say this movie is not about her character, there hasinformation posted on other sites that she and her parents snubbed Jennifer Hudson on Oprah. And according to that information, it all has to do with this new found recognition and celebration of the talents of Miss Hudson. So it’s not about people making things up in that regard. If we simply take just a short trip down memory lane to when Letoya Luckett and Latavia Roberson left Destiny’s Child, oh I forgot, were kicked out of the group because they no longer wanted Daddy Knowles to control their interests in group, the info on how Miss Hudson was treated by them is not far fetched. See it was politically correct when the remaining members of DC (Michelle, Kelly & Beyonce) told the world that they mutually decided to break up. Anyone who followed the group from when the first came out, could clearly see that Beyonce was promoted above the other girls. And I guess that’s the benefits of having Mommy & Daddy Knowles running things behind the scene. It was not about fairness, if so, Letoya & Latavia would never have left. Farrah Franklin, who came in as a replacement with Michelle Williams left very quickly as well. More than likely, she saw what Letoya & Latavia saw and was probably let go the way they were. Shortly after we didn’t her anymore, Beyonce said in a group interview on MTV that Farrah wasn’t feeling well and could not be with group on this particular day. A clear lie that was told. Truth be told, she was already out of the group. Then it wasn’t even a week later before Bey announced in another group appearance on MTV, that it was a business decision by the “group” so-called, that Farrah would no longer be a part of the group and they would move forward as a three member group. Michelle Williams was savior to this group. I read comment after comment of people criticizing her on this site no what it is about her, but had it not been for her, DC could have ended a long ago after other girls left. So you see with all of the “goings on” in the Destiny’s Child history book, I still contend that the group ended because Bey’s star shines brighter than Kelly’s and Michelle’s. She got where she needed to get via the shoulders of the other girls (old and new) in the group, she didn’t need them anymore. I mean look at their solo careers. Kelly’s album only went GOLD (mainly due to her duo with Nelly at the time). Her album was poorly promoted by Daddy Knowles and staff. Similarly Michelle’s two gospel albums were all but noticed due to that same lack of promotion by Daddy Knowles & staff. And just earlier this year, it was reported that Kelly was working on her album to be out this year at some point, but miraculously got pushed back for release some time in 2007. Wow, we wonder why? The Knowles clan didn’t want any competition to Bey’s album that’s why. Therefore, it’s not about creating this Jennifer vs. Beyonce thing, it only about stating the obvious. In one or two of the promotion photos for the movie, there’s a shot of Bey and Jennifer on either side of Jamie Foxx…..all I need to say about that is this: if looks could kill, then Jennifer would be lying on the floor in a puddle of blood from the stare she was getting from Bey Knowles. I personally feel that both ladies are very talented, so there’s room for all. Only difference is, Jennifer seems geniunely graceful. She doesn’t come off as fake. This is what people are seeing in her and it comes out in her performance. She doesn’t have to be a diva about hers. So I repeat once again, all of this information circulating about the KNOWLES clan is not so far fetched. I digress.

I understand that the movie stars Beyonce, and it seems that the studio is banking on Jennifer. What’s going on with Anika. She completes the trio, that is called DREAMGIRLS

First of all, I just wanna say that I am really looking forward to seeing the movie and I am happy that Jennifer Hudson is finally getting her just due. This movie is not all about the constantly glorified Beyonce. After the hype over this movie dies down and the Oscars are over, I would really like to see Beyonce take a long, long break, even though it is probably wishful thinking on my part. Both she and her llama need to sit their overrated, overexposed, greedy tails down somewhere before Sister Fate sits them down. They are so busy trying to do everything that hasn’t been done before and trying to be everywhere at the same time and it is just pathetic. They both act like they think they are God. You can call me a hater or whatever, but I really do not care. They need to sit down.

TIANNI “HER ALBUM SALES ARE PLATINUM” IS NOT AN OPINION ALL WE HAVE TO DO IT CHECK
ALL YOU SAID…THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE FOR YOU. “BEYONCE CAN DO NOTHING RITE. SHE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL EVIL” RITE?

whatever….
Beyonce is the “draw,” the other girls do not have the level of her celebrity to bring the crowd to the movie. I am not a “stan” but the facts are clear, they had to cast “a well-known”…and I know she can’t act, I have seen all of her movies!

I hate to say it, but i’m more interested in seeing Will’s new movie this x-mas. Dreamgirls just seems like Hollywood is trying “whiten” it up. It seems like a big waste to me if all young people go by this movie instead of the ORIGINAL play, it would really be sad.
As far as all the beyonce issues, She is BAIT for all the people who only go see movies because their favorite singer/rapper is in it. I tyr to give every artist to show their true talent in acting, but she has had plenty of tries and I am not impressed with her acting.

same sh*t… all the time.
i am proud of JHud but a lot of you are too hyped. you cant be happy for one person’s success without putting down another.
what you’re all forgetting is…Effie is suppose to outshine Deena. no, beyonce isnt going to get as much recognition for the role of Deena… not because she didnt do an amazing job…. but because Jennifer’s character has more depth and more pain. “Dreamgirls” is ALL ABOUT EFFIE. Deena was NEVER the STAR of “Dreamgirls” but she is still the leading lady. thats just how it was written.
so dont put Beyonce down like she’s being overshadowed because she wasnt talented enough. that isnt true.
the way i see it is… people are hoping that if JHud gets all the glory you wont have to see Beyonce anymore and you’re so wrong. she’s not going anywhere lol. she’s a competitor.. if she comes in second its only gonna make her work harder to be number one.
at the end of the day jennifer still has a lot of work to do before she reaches beyonce’s level of superstardom. and you havent even seen the movie to critique her acting skills.
its extremely hard for anyone to reach beyonce’s status.. and its upsetting that black people {especially black women} have a difficult time praising other black women for their success.
im no beyonce “stan” but it seems a lot of people are throwing out that word to hide their own envy or insecurities. i notice that people who dislike beyonce are always quick to respond to a post with her in it.
beyonce isnt perfect. she cant always look the best, act the best, sing the best, or dance the best because shes human. you preach this to her “stans” but you cant go a day without nit-picking at every little thing she does.
that makes you full of hypocrisy.. because how is it ok for you to dislike everything she does.. but its not ok for someone to love everything she does? people have opinions. its true that some people think she can do no wrong but its really not your place to change their opinion. its like some of you hope she fails or falls from the top. i would never wish for her to fail at anything.
there are 5 incredibly talented black people all working together and all you guys want to do is drown yourself in the [illeged] drama.
i mean im not surprised… but its a damn shame.
