I’m really excited to see Dreamgirls. The cast is talented and I’m sure this movie is going to be awesome. @ 1 - ugh, I’m so tired of reading these comments where someone has to go and talk crap about a celebrity when they’re doing a good thing. Ms. Knowles is talented - that is undeniable - and so is everyone else in the cast. What I’m getting at is this - criticize her and anyone else when they do bad. But for now, praise and celebrate her and the other African Americans in this film that have done a great job. And stop talking about people’s hair and wigs - its a cultural norm now for women to wear extensions get over it. or maybe someone has an insecurity?

LOL #1 Beyonce is looking like her mother big time and the movie is not all about her tired ass. She realizes that is someone with a better voice (Jennifer Hudson) is gonna give her some competition. Believe or not Ms. Hudson is gonna outshine this chick I am sorry but that is how I FEEL.I know some people will read this and not agree because they are big fans of B, but it is time she sit her ass down.She could blow but her head is too big now.

@9 MELISUS

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. AND I READ SOMEWHERE WHERE BEY IS NOW STARTING TO TREAT J. HUD AS A THREAT, SLIGHTING HER BACKSTAGE AT THE OPRAH SHOW BY NOT SPEAKING TO HER, YET SPEAKING AND HUGGING EVERYONE ELSE. SHE AND HER PARENTS ARE RUTHLESS WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING BEYONCE ON TOP. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY FEELING THREATENED BY JEN.

I really don’t know how Jamie’s hairline grew so much either. I know some artists use paint or pencils to draw it in (Ludacris does it, as well as others). But Jamie’s joint appears very natural…maybe he was with a hairclub or something lol.

ONE thing i saw J Hud on Tv this morning
And shes in the UK
and she needs to fix them HAIR STYLE there NASTY

But she performed ‘one night only’ which was oustanding
and
Beyonce loooks like her mum AWWWWWWWWWW
she look nice and natural/normal
And When she performed ‘Listen’ on Oprah i was Stunned

I fink both ladies are equally talented and that people should support both equally

There outstanding women
and i dont want just one to get an oscar if they do
i want it to go to the film or soundtrack

@ # 12, we know by your previous post that you dislike Beyonce but don’t make up rumors and lie on the girl. She has not threatned J-hud. She said with her own mouth that the FILM is NOT about DEENA and how this movie is Not her Oscar role. So stop lying on the girl for your own personal dislikes. This post could be positive but when you have insecure people creating drama when it’s none that’s when they get out of hands. As you could see on Oprah Beyonce and Jennifer have much love for each other. And when Jennifer comes out she still won’t be any competition for Beyonce when music is consisdered. They are in two totally different Genres so Jenn will not affect Beyonce’s status. I wish people would stop making this out to be a Jenn vs. Bey movie and just support and enjoy the DAMN movie.

I saw the movie already at its press sneak peak in New York. I don’t know if the rumors are true about Beyonce throwing shade to Jennifer Hudson, because Beyonce is threatened, but if she is threatened she need to be because Jennifer Hudson’s performance SONS everyone else’s with the exception of Eddie Murphy who’s equal.

And there are about two or three others who are better in the film than Beyonce. If Beyonce thought this was going to be all about her, she’s in for a rude awakening.

Friday, November 24, 2006 /

#8 I totally agree. We as African-American people should be proud of the entire cast of Dream Girls, including Beyonce! She is a positive role model. So what, she wears wigs! The majority of Hollywood does now. She looks beautiful despite all the haters! Let’s be positive for a change people. That is part of what is wrong with our culture now! We never support each other and there is so much negativity!

21.

................

Friday, November 24, 2006 /

People who keep making up shit saying that Beyonce thinks this film is all about her. Well watch this so you can shut your ass up she cleary states and corrects the lady interviewing her and States that this FILM is NOT about Deena and that the movie should win a OSCAR NOT DEENA. Hell she’s just happy to be apart of the movie and what young black actress wouldn’t be. Jennifer Hudson looks up to Beyonce, if anything they both learned a little from each other. Beyonce has made it and like she said on this interview if she stopped today she would be so happy with her success. How many other 25 year old can say the same.

What this before judging.

ppl love to make up shyt. anyone who saw the play know that Effe role was the stronger one. So I dont see where the competition between the two come in. The director almost never use beyonce after visiting one of her performance. she’s so powerful on stage. The director has to ask her to tone down. because Deena is suppose to be quite. If deena was played as a strong person in the first part of the movie ppl who saw the play would have complaine that they change the play for beyonce. Jennifer will shine in this movie but in the long run she will not out shine beyonce. dont think hollywood are gonna start giving her movie (Real talk) she does not fit the hollywood profile skinny ass bitches halley won the oscar what have she done latley?. even if jennifer won the oscar and I hope she does beyonce will always get movies over her because she will put ppl in the seats. We should just enjoyed the movie because dreamgirls will get rid of the ghost of soul plane.

I think I’d see Will’s movie over this one. I saw the actual play years ago and I’d like to leave perfection well enough alone. I might have to re-evaluate tho’ cuz I likes me some JHud. I heard Bey slighted JHud to but that’s just what I HEARD.

its funny how beyonce started out saying this was her role of a life time and she was born to play this role and everything and then when j hud starts to get the most shine she begins promoting deena as a supporting role which is what it was made to be in the first place

Beyonce is here to stay bytches so get use to it the sad part is black ppl would support a white artist over beyonce. you have ppl suporting JT,Xtina & qwen stefani when we all know they’re just pimping our culture .Do you haters ever wonder why their was never a succesful slave rebellion in the united states unlke Jamaica & Hati, because of haters like what we see on this board. Niggas always try to tear down their own. Harriet tubman said it best “i freed a lot of slaves .I could free more but they did not know they were slaves”

Jennifer is glowing, she looks great. Bee is looking just like Tina the older she gets. The movie seems like it’s going to be great.

I have to disagree with Malcom. I think after this preformance Jennifer will be a contender for Beyonce in the acting & music world. Peoplel are praising her acting and the girl can sing her ass off.

We all know how you start off regular in Hollywood then evolve to something else. Next year Jennifer could be 120 pounds! Beyonce is the perfect exsample of that. She went from about 140 to 118. If you see her in person she is very small. And definitly no longer thick. She still has a cute figure but not the body she had. (Don’t act like ya’ll remember that she has no knees. LOL)

Kudo’s to #8! Let’s just celebrate the talent of all of the actors/celebrities involved in this soon-2-be award winning film. This is a celebration of talent. Yes, Beyonce is talented and one of the most famous members involved in this project so of course she’s going to draw a lot of attention, and I’m am sure that’s why she was cast for this movie as well. Stop hating and celebrate the talent of these gifted individuals! H-Town Representing!

I read some of the above posts.

#12
WOW!

&, well the way the MOVIE DREAM GIRLS has been ADVERTISED & PROMOTED, back from when it was FIRST being BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC…”INITIALLY” we were led to BELIEVE that BEYONCE is the LEAD ROLE in the movie. & had I not had any prior KNOWLEDGE to the BROADWAY version of DREAM GIRLS I would have believed she had the leading ROLE as well.

I dont know what BEYONCE is saying to the PRESS & MEDIA “CURRENTLY”. But I know when word was just getting out about this movie she was hinting at the PUBLIC that this may just be her OSCAR WINNING ROLE. & she was VERY EXCITED about it. It seems that AFTER the film/trailor- was PREVIEWED (be the CELEBS)and all the RAVE REVIEWS started leaking about J.HUDSONS performance in the movie, BEYONCE begins to accept that this may not be her OSCAR winning ROLE after all.

I dont know what OPRAH show people have seen but the one I saw on TV BEYONCE did not appear to be WARM SPIRITED, & infact appeared to be a little JEALOUS of the attention J. HUDSON was getting from the audience & OPRAH. If BEYONCE wasn’t “jealous–she would not have felt compelled to make mention of her having a acting coach for the movie & telling us she felt that she has done her BEST ACTING WORK in this movie as well. Beyonce made that statement almost in tears. (dont believe me? watch the OPRAH show again & observe her)

#12–I dont know where you got your information, but I DON’T find it hard to believe.

& for the record BEYONCE’s performance was not that GREAT at the end of OPRAH.

I think people are really gonna be surprised with JHud and that other girl…by the way, why don’t I ever see her at any of these press conferences? She must have a small part, but she is the other member in the group. I think JHud might actually outshine B in this movie, especially if this her very first movie and basically still being one of us (not famous) cuz she only did American Idol. But they’re gonna use B cuz they know how much we all love to talk about her! We’ll see, but all the other movies I’ve seen with Beyonce were never that good of acting to me. I think it’s her speaking voice, it can sound a bit deep and monotone sometimes.

tianni, what does Bey speaking on her own experience have to do with jealousy? I will never get why people dislike her so much! Why is everyone trying to make this thing with her and Jennifer into a catfight? people always do that with women! Why can’t they both just be great singers and actors in their own right? You don’t see anyone turning the fact that Eddie and Jamie are both in the movie into a competion do you? It’s so sexist.

Anyway, I’m so glad Bey got rid of that damn big ass hair for awhile. It doesn’t always have to be so “done”! And man if she doesn’t look like Mama Tina here!!!

Thank you JSCENE I appreciate that.

WHAT!!!!!!!! When Bee came out she was rockin darker hair and braids. Then all of a sudden she was blond and dressing better.

J. LO was big then and Beyonce took her whole style. I don’t have a problem with Bee, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Beyonce did not start a blond hair trend. Personally, I think Bee’s hair JUST started looking good in the past couple of years. And it’s hit and miss at best just like her outfits.

J. Lo was just voted the best dressed woman in the WORLD! The woman always looks flawless.

FIRST YOU ILLITERATE, WHERE IN THE HELL IN MY POST DID I SAY BEYONCE THREATENED J. HUD? CAN YOU READ? MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T BE IN SUCH A RUSH TO ATTACK PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES AND READ..IN MY SHORT PARAGRAPH, I NEVER SAID BEYONCE THREATENED J. HUD. SO WHO’S MAKING UP SHIT NOW, DUMB BITCH!

YOU KNOW WHAT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME ON HERE AND TRY AND CALL ME A FUCKIN LIAR, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE THE CONVICTION TO POST YOUR NAME…

AND I’M NOT TRYING TO START RUMORS. I READ THAT ON MEDIATAKEOUT.COM. AND ANYONE CAN GO THERE RIGHT NOW AND READ WHAT I JUST READ. IT’S A BLOG JUST LIKE THIS ONE, SO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT WAS SAID, YOU SHOULD GO TO THAT SITE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. SO SORRY, BOO BOO, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, YOU SHOULD DO LIKE BEYONCE’S DAD DID AND WRITE A LETTER THERE. I HAVE NO REASON TO MAKE UP SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THE CELEBRITIES FEATURED. IT’S COMING FROM YOUR MOUTH SO PERHAPS THAT’S YOUR STYLE. AND EVEN IF I DON’T LIKE A CELEBRITY, DON’T MEAN I WOULD TOTALLY PULL SOMETHING OUT MY ASS AND POST IT. AND I NEVER SAID I DIDN’T LIKE BEYONCE, I WAS JUST GIVING J. HUD HER PROPS, BUT IF I DIDN’T LIKE BEYONCE I WOULD SAY IT WITHOUT BLINKING TWICE.

SO YOU’RE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO STOP MAKING UP STUFF, IF YOU WANT ATTENTION, THEN JUST POST A LITERATE COMMENT AND KEEP IT MOVING BITCH; NO NEED TO TRY AND START A CYBER FIGHT, IT WOULDN’T BE FAIR CAUSE YOU’RE UNARMED, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN.

i.e.: Christina Milian, Ciara, some other girls that I cant think of right now.

And, if u want to get technical, LIL KIM was the FIRST–b4 J-ho b4 Beyonce b4 n e one else.

J-lo came out on in-living color and her ass was rocking blk hair—she STOLE Mariah’s style look-wise, so…nuff said.

LMAO

Friday, November 24, 2006 /

HA!HA!HA!HA! You people are really sad. Especially # 40. LMAO!!!! And you are right it wasn’t Great it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyonce is on top and this movie is going to help her out even more. This is her 5th movie even with her horrible acting so just think of what roles she will get after this movie. Lets she her album is on top of the charts and Irreplaceable is kiling the charts. She has 9 Grammy’s and has accomplished more than any star at the age of 25 so all this negative talk about her is doing nothing but making her even richer and more famous. People love to dis the pretty girl, I remember when Letoya’s album dropped and everyone dissed Bey, saying how Letoya would shine and outsell her and so on, well even with all the hate Beyonce is Plat getting ready to go double plat. album sales increasing week by week, single doing outstanding and Letoya isn’t even on the charts period so keep dissing her b/c all that is doing is making her work harder and move successful. While you guys are typing and dissing, slaving at your 9-5. Jennifer has alot of work to do more than one movie to even get to Beyonce’s level. And singing doesn’t have anything to do with it. It’s plenty of healthy women that sing circles around Bey but are the bigger than her?? Now all the people want to jump on J-huds bandwagon b/c she did her thang in the movie, where were you when American Idol was going on? She still the same woman with the same voice but you let Tasia beat her out. Only praising her b/c she did her thang after this movie most of you will forget about her. If anyone else would have played Deena you would not be praising J-hud like this.

SHE WAS PROBABLY THINKING, WAIT, THIS IS HER FIRST FILM, THEY SHOULDN’T BE GIVING HER THAT ATTENTION. BUT I THINK THAT’S TO HER CREDIT. THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE HAD SEEN A SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE FILM, SO THEY KNEW WHO DESERVED PROPS. ANIKA ROSE ALSO WAS GIVEN PROPS WHEN SHE CAME OUT.

I saw that Oprah show too, and Beyonce was definitely not being her usual self. I hate to say it but you could definitely see the jealousy in her face. Especially when J-hud came out on stage and recieved all that applause, i mean they wouldn’t stop praising her (including Oprah) she had to calm the audience down, Beyonce tried to smile it off but it was SOOO FAKE, and if you dont know a fake smile when you see one , then you need to be slapped.

Jscene, Get a LIFE!!!! Name calling is so not necessary but I’m the illiterate one? I’m soooo sorry that you are insecure. I’m giving props to both ladies, I’m not a negative person so putting them up against one another makes no sense to me at all. And who believes MEDIA TAKEOUT??? Seriously 99.9% of their stories are Fabricated only lifeless people indulge in that mess.

Isn’t Media Takeout the same site that said Ashanti and Kelly Rowland were with child? That Teairra Mari had died in a car crash? Sorry Boo but I’m not gullible and I don’t believe everything I read. I have a life and my life doesn’t consist of bashing another woman to make my life seem any better. I recognize talent and Beyonce may not be a strong actress but the chick straight kills it on stage and has all of you talking and thinking about her daily so she must be doing something right. No point in responding b/c I don’t argue on the internet. I’ve cleary made my point and by you name calling it proved my point and then some.

#48- You asked…

WHY does it always have to be about COMPETITION with BEYONCE?
Because that is the way her PARENTS RAISED her to WIN, to be “THE BEST” from a “little girl” they had her in “BEAUTY PAGEANTS”, COMPETITIONS, CONTESTS. She has mentioned that she has WON TROPHIES it’s in VIDEOS & her childhood pictures. Her MOTHER is QUICK to tell the public about that. Nevermind that the girl never finished HIGH SCHOOL!

When you are RAISED, to be a COMPETETOR, it is what is INSTILLED in your mind & SUBCONSCIOUS—even if she is UN AWARE of it most times. SHE CAN’T HELP IT! It happened during the whole DESTINY’S CHILD FALL OUT, she turned into this OVER OBSESSIVE “YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME” person!(she comes out with “SURVIVOR”, after a DEEP round of DEPRESSION) Top that with your parents constantly in your ears about DO THIS, DO THAT, BE THIS, DO BETTER….from when you are just a LITTLE GIRL?

NATURALLY, you will dislike being in SECOND PLACE (in all aspects of life). And if you can’t see her PAIN & DISSAPOINTMENT coming in SECOND PLACE to JENNIFER HUDSON on that OPRAH WINFREY SHOW…you are BLIND. & I agree with the people on this post that says that she FEELS THREATENED by J. HUDSON’s SUCCESS in this movie & she just does.

*I guess you can’t really blame BEYONCE, but she was obviously RAISED to be a COMPETETOR in her FIELD of entertainment & all she knows is “AIMING FOR THE TOP”. Naturally when BEYONCE does not accomplish that she will display a little jealousy. That is ashame because, it’s so obvious with this DREAM GIRLS MOVIE—& her being a GROWN WOMAN you’d think would accept someone elses SUCCESS rather than her own.

But it is what it is. (I know the STANS will always have something to say, but what I stated is the TRUTH & nothing but). The girl views life through a COMPETETORS window.

Just watched the Oprah clip when J-hud comes out for the first time!

I must admit that when Oprah was doing the intro for her, Bey’s face look kinda jealous, BUT once she came out, it looked like they were perfectly good friends!

I saw NO MORE jealousy…doesnt mean it wasnt there…I just didnt see it.

Malcom,
Just because someone speaks out against beyonce does not mean that they are “black as night” and jealous. People are entitled to their opinions and not all black people like beyonce.

I’m indifferent. It is good to see a black woman break down barriers in both the fashion and music industries, however it is unfortunate to see that the only acceptable black woman to break these barriers is a light-skinned one. Beyonce is that “make white people feel less racist” kind of black person. Her looks are less obtrusive and offensive to whites so regardless of her true talent,she gets hyped up.

Given all the crappy music these days, I can’t knock beyonce. I don’t really think she can sing. I recently downloaded irreplacable and could not get throught it. Her vocals are horrible and I am not surprised that Jennifer Hudson is outshinning her. Due to the hype surrounding beyonce her true talent has been distorted.

All i’m trying to do is refute your argument that evyerone of us who don’t like or are indifferent towards beyonce have enslaved mentalities. In fact, I think quite the opposite. Those who have the guts and mental capacity to not believe the hype surrounding her are of the most progressive kind–they have the ability to judge truly and personally which are charactristics rarely found in today’s society.

# 70 that Jay tape is so old way before he hooked up with Bee, that was from the Luke tape. Mediatake.out needs to get their shit together. We have no idea how long she waited in the car? Have you even been with someone that had to do something and you stayed in the car b/c you didn’t feel like going? It’s no different with her, plus those Hooker heels were probably killing her feet.

All this Beyonce hate makes me like her even more. GO BEE do your thang.

To #56,

Comparing Letoya vs Beyonce to Jennifer vs Beyonce is comparing apples to oranges. Letoya’s vocals pales in comparison to Beyonce’s–there is no competition there. Beyonce is more talented and enjoyable to watch than Letoya.

However, Jennifer vs Beyonce is another story. Vocally, Jennifer is far superior to Beyonce. It’s seems as if it is this fact that you find hard to swallow. I hate to break it to you but beyonce is not the gold standard when it comes to entertainment. That girl “tiffany” in Diary of a mad black woman has better vocals than beyonce.

I will give it to beyonce though, she is a package deal. She is beautiful, she is a medicore singer and actress, she has a fashion line which is quite successful, she has the support of her parents, she is dating a famous rapper, she is loved all over the world. That is awesome!

And Of couse the producers are gonnna wanna bring in the big box office numbers. Before hearing about it from bloggers and evryone else tht saw the movie , I thought beyonce was the main character the posters have her jamie fox and eddie murphie’s name big on it.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID, IT’S RIDICULOUS!

WHO THE HELL GIVES CREDIT TO MEDIATAKEOUT.COM!! THEY ARE INFAMOUS FOR MAKING UP SHIT! IF YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY POST ON THERE, THEN YOU NEED A PRAYER!

SOME OF YOU IDIOTS ON THIS SITE NEED A DAMN LIFE. ALL YOU DO IS HATE HATE HATE ON ANYONE THAT IS SUCCESSFUL, ESPECIALLY BEYONCE. NONE OF US KNOW WHAT SHE IS LIKE IN PERSON SO HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ON THINGS ABOUT HER AS IF YOU KNOW HER (SHE’S BEEN BREAD TO BE COMPETITIVE HER WHOLE LIFE..HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW!)

AND ON THAT INTERVIEW W/OPRAH, SHE DID NOTHING TO WARRANT ALL THIS CRITICISM. YOU FUCKERS ARE NEVER SATISFIED.

AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT GIRL GIVING HERSELF CREDIT FOR THE WORK THAT SHE’S DONE. PEOPLE UPLIFT THEIR OWN ALBUMS ALL TIME (I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM I’VE EVER PUT OUT) BEYONCE IS DOING THE SAME THING WITH THIS MOVIE. SHE’S PROUD OF HERSELF. SHE’S LIKE A BIG KID WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT IT. SHE’S NEVER SAID THAT SHE WAS EXPECTING AN OSCAR NOW HAS SHE BEEN ACTING LIKE SHE’S WANTING ONE OVER J-HUD.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ALL INSIST ON BEING SO HATEFUL TO THIS GIRL. YOU HATERS FEED OFF THE “CRAB IN A BUCKET” MENTALITY.

AND YOU ALL KEEP SAYING SHE’S LOOKING LIKE HER MAMA, AS IF ITS A BAD THING! HELL DONT WE ALL LOOK LIKE ARE PARENTS AT SOME POINT?! SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS.

IM SO GLAD THAT BEYONCE DOES NOT LET YOU LITTLE LOSERS GET TO HER. KEEP HATING AND DOING YOUR JOB B/C ITS ONLY GIVING HER MORE STRENGTH AND MORE DRIVE TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT SHE’S DOING.

NOW THAT IM DONE VENTING,

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS MOVIE. IT’S A WONDERFUL PROJECT. BEAUTIFUL BLACK, TALENTED ACTORS AND NEWCOMERS. I WISH THIS PROJECT MUCH SUCCESS AND I HOPE THAT IT GETS ALL THE AWARDS IT DESERVES.

Please with the “HATERS” comments.

We are all allowed to EXPRESS our INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS about these CELEBS no matter who they are, this is a FREE COUNTRY & BLOG site. Just because YOU dont AGREE on what someone is STATING about a particular CELEBRITY, does not mean that they are HATERS.

Not everyone PRAISES “BEYONCE”. Not all people are her “STANS” !

I feel that BEYONCE has had her time, her following is HUGE & she may always be a success with her STAN/FAN backing. HOWEVER there is room for such UP & COMERS as “JENNIFER HUDSON” to display their SUCCESS in this INDUSTRY!

The STANS need to get a LIFE & stop assuming that people who dont agree with their BEYONCE BELIEFS- are UGLY, or FAT…until you post a picture of “yourself” on this BLOG SITE, dont comment on the way someone else may look. Because you just dont know if there is no pictures up.

It is NOT IMPOSSIBLE for BEYONCE to become SECOND PLACE. She is NOT “THE BEST” the entertainment world has to offer. I think she is a bit OVER RATED & OVER EXPOSED in my opinion, & I am beginning to feel like ALOT of FOLKS are starting to feel as I do.

At the end of the day, Beyonce is still doing what she loves to do, regardless of the criticism. I don’t know if people think their negative comments are going to stop her or what, but if that is what you think, then you are just wasting your time.

It’s obvious that she is used to criticism, because she has been called every name in the book since DC4 split up 7 or 8 years ago. However, she is still going strong and the only people stressing out about what she is doing are the people who don’t like her. Apparently somebody still, because her cd just moved back into the top 10 on Billboard.

Nobody is forcing any of you to pay her any attention, yet you continue to talk about her day after day. Give yourselves a break!

Thank you # 88 so I guess her album is moving up the charts by itself.

People have talked and downed this girl for almost 9 years and it still hasn’t stopped her nor has it had any negative affect on her career if anything it made her stronger.

I love it when their comeback is “I’m tired of this over-exposed chick and so is everyone else” but she manages to be the ONLY female artist selling now so who is tired of her? I’ve also noticed how her Topics get the most attention and it’s not coming from the Stans either, I have come on her just to read comments and most are negative so if you are so tired why post about her?

I’m rooting for everyone in this film. I want another big successful BLACK movie.

You’re right, name calling isn’t necessary but i felt like it. You’re a dumb ass illiterate. You are obviously a Beyonce Stan and you hate any stories that would display her in a bad light. Well, you can kiss my ass, i could care less how this story makes you feel, if you can’t take it, get the fuck off this blog. Don’t go attacking people for stories they have read, if you indeed have a problem with the story, attack the writer. Now, you’ve probably went on the site and read it, now you’re attacking the CREDIBILITY of the story. That’s not my problem. It’s your problem, and like i said, write them there to complain about it. Don’t come on here trying to attack me stupid Bitch.

What about my post means that i’m insecure! Nothing. I was simply relaying a story that i read. And for the record, i believe the story. Everytime someone says something about beyonce that’s perceived negative, people want to say you’re hating on her. You don’t even know me! I have nothing to hate on beyonce for. Bey can sing, but i personally would not want that particular gift. I love my job and i’m paid well for it. I have two college degress, i’ve accomplished alot in my 20 something years on this earth. And if were a spirit preparing to come to earth, and the lord told me to pick between my body/face/hair, or beyonce’s body/face/lacefront, i would choose ME all fuckin day. I personally feel i look better than beyonce. I get hollered at all day long. I even do lingerie modeling on some weekends in the fall, so i’m paid for how i look. I am a very confident girl, no need for hating. Just like beyonce loves herself, so i do! So where’s the insecurity at idiot! Could it be you! I said all those things about myself to make the point of stop claiming everybody’s hating on beyonce…everyone don’t want to look like her. Personally if i had her legs, i’d probably kill myself! You can worship her on your own.

And you sit your ass at that computer talking about whether or not people should believe mediatakeout.com. Well it’s a damn blog, just like this one. On all the blog sites, it’s all gossip, and so if you can sit and comment on this blog and believe this story, then who the fuck are you to sit and tell me which stories i should take seriously and believe. Get the fuck outta here in a hurry bitch!

@ Malcom and LMAO, cosign to the fullest………all these folks are just so quick to jump on the jhud bandwagon(where were y’all when she needed your votes on american idol!!!!),coz they wanna tear/put beyonce down, unfortunately that not gonna happen in the long run, jhud definately got alot of work to do b4 she can establish her self. already there’s contravesy(sp) surrounding her version of “and im telling you”, which doesn’t even come anyway close to jennifer holliday’s version(in any shape or form), word has it, that jennifer holliday version was use to for dreamgirls promo and not jhud version(who at the time was still trying to record a good version of the song), now lets talk about that,coz if that was beyonce, all y’all would have ripped her to shreds!!! even ms jennifer holliday felt her jhud copied her style and didn’t do it much justice(now thats shady). intresting enough with all this hate and crazy lies been said about beyonce,she still prevails, keepig her sanity,still a respectable lady respectable,without saying anything bad about others, yet extremely successful but humble and down to earth(to quote tyra banks,”she has a good spirit”) and whether u like it or not she gonna keep gettin blessed by god,and u definately can’t denial her god given talents(whether it’s her beauty or vocal talents). bottomline beyonce is here to stay for good and thank god for havinh an artist like her.besides jhud(who looked starstruck0 expressed her admiration for beyonce on the oprah show(she said beyonce was her favourite female artist), bee on other hand was well composed,relaxed,calm and happy.she definately gave an outstanding,beautiful,powerful performance of listen, got a standing ovation from the audience,the face expression on jamie fox and oprah was priceless.so y’all need to stop trying to fabricate shit,and creating unneccassary drama.

jennifer hudson - looks nice, definately an upgrade from that dredful wig she had on oprah. personally i think she did an okay job with the song, but isn’t way crisp cream as jennifer holliday version. i think tamyra gray sang it much better than jhud.

jamie fox- look good, glad to see he fixed that hairline

eddie murphy- look alright, i see time hasn’t been so kind to him

If you think back on that season of AMERICAN IDOL when J.HUDSON was featured there was a CALCULATION DEFAULT said to be caused in the VOTING process in her TOWN, I believe it was said to be some type of POWER PROBLEM. But that was the season where that VOTING MISHAP occurred & half of her towns VOTES were not even calculated the NIGHT she was VOTED off.FANTASIA WON that season, I remember being afraid the VOTING MISHAP would happen again leaving FANTASIA in the same seat as J.HUDSON.

So even if we did VOTE or NOT (the J.HUDSON FANS) ask yourself (JUST LIKE WITH THE “GEORGE BUSH VOTES” would it really have COUNTED?

I don’t know what “charts” you guys are reading but her CD is not doing that well. She has been on the charts 11 weeks and he CD is # 5. She was only # 1 for 1 week. She just made # 5 by releaseing irriplacable as a single. She released 3 singles to keep her CD on the charts and that is not good! Check the facts. Dangerously in love went Platinum in 2 weeks. I’m not sure if B’Day is Platinum yet.

And I can hate on Beyonce all I want to she’s sold like a billion records so hell! Whatever I say isn’t gonna stop the STANS from buying her CD. fuck her rich ass then! GO JENNIFER AND ANIKA NONI!!

As long as you feed into what they POST against you they will continue to display their IGNORANCE. As long as you “DISAGREE” on what they believe “BEYONCE is”–you are their ENEMY.

Actually Dream girls is $25 dollars for the premier tickekts. It starts December 15th. I have tickets to take my little sister at the Zigfield Theater in NY. When it opens on the 25th it will be regular price.

For $25 you get reserved seating and a chance to buy the CD before it comes out. They will have tee shirts and other items you can buy about the movie. Also some “keepsakes” they give you for free.

Is it worth $25 to me? No but my sister really wants to go. So it’s one of her xmas presents.

Too expensive regardless. They are 20.00 per seat where I live so, maybe you get a 5 dolloar discount in “THE HOOD”…reserved seats or not– it’s not like it is a LIVE BROADWAY PLAY.

I think it would make as much PROFIT if not MORE had they left the price at the original $10.00 per head. Just because you charge more does not necessarily mean you make more. I think that reserved seating stuff will get complicated & cause major problems in “some theatres” as well as confusion. I like to sit “MID WAY” (not too close or too far back)–I have to pay 20 bucks for a reserved seat that may be WAAAAAAAY up in the FRONT!

It is going to cause problems. WATCH.

you youngins make me laugh. Have any of you actually seen Dreamgirls The play? If so you would know that there really is no lead character. If you want to get technical there are 3 leads. Deena’s, Effies, and Curtis (Jamie). Effies is most rememebered because her role was juicier. She was the b1tch with the loud voice. Thats why she stands out. But make no mistake Jennifer Hudson is not the lead actress at all. Her songs are just more famous.

You made my point. Justin knocked Beyonce off the R&B CHARTS because her album is not all that. And his CD is still out selling hers. Rianna, Mary and Christian A .went Platinum so what are you talking about people don’t buy CDs.

Accoring to the RIAA her CD is not Platinum. And they are the ones who certify all CDs Gold, Platinum or Diamond. I’m not talking shipped Platinum. I mean SOLD Platinum. Check Your Fact Sweetheart. I back up my shit!

http://www.RIAA.com

They have records of ALL albums made after 1958.

THANKS @ TIANNI #111

I HEAR YOUR POINT AND I AGREE…BUT HONESTLY, I REALLY DON’T MIND RESPONDING…I COULD DO THIS ALL DAY! I’M OFF WORK AND I CERTAINLY DON’T MIND CONFRONTING PEOPLE WHO ATTACK MY VIEWPOINT. IT’S NO PROB. I TYPE LIKE 90S SOME WORDS A MINUTE, AND IT’S MY WAY TO CONFRONT THINGS HEAD ON.

BUT I DO GET YOUR POINT. I REALIZE THE STANS ARE HERE AND THEY ARE UNREASONABLE, AND SAY THE DUMBEST BUNCH OF BULL I’VE EVER HEARD. WHEN I RESPOND TO THEM, I’M NOT TRYING TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS, JUST DEFEND MY VIEWPOINT; AND BELIEVE ME, I HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING THAT. BUT YOUR POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN, AND AT TIMES I MIGHT TAKE YOUR ADVICE, BUT NOT TODAY! I CAN GO BACK AND FORTH ALL DAY AND IT’S TOTALLY FINE TO ME. WHEN I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO DO, I’LL GO DO IT. BUT I’M FREE AND RARING TO GO! AND WHEN I’M DONE OR TIRED, IT’S A WRAP.

BUT THANKS SO MUCH FOR LOOKING OUT. I DO HEAR YOU.

hahahaha! I was dying when they showed that clip of Simon Cowell saying on Opraj that J-hud was going to win an oscar, just like that, and the chick who wants the oscar soooo badly was just there! I mean, they could’ve said something too for Beyonce to feel that there is hope for her to win one, but absolutely NOTHING, lol! sorry but that was very sad.

Bey is starting to look more and more like Tina. uh-oh, that isn’t good. anyways, this movie is going to rock, but I just picked like the third magazine of Beyonce wanting an oscar, wut is up w/ that?? they would give her an oscar if she deserves one, but her sounding all desperate isn’t going to work. And I agree that this MOVIE should win an oscar and also that recent Will Smith movie called, “The persuit of happiness” or something like that. I am anxious to see that one too.

I get so sick of people saying people are hating on beyonce. She’s fake, and if her weaves were all that good, we wouldn’t be able to tell it’s a weave or wig. How about some of us don’t wear weaves at all, and just wear our on beautiful hair.

FYI…RIAA does not provide accurate numbers. For true sales figures, you need to know what B’Day sold via Soundscan, which tracks actual sales.

I’ve seen the movie already. It’s great because of the combined black talent and the fact that it told a great story….

Beyonce is good, but it’s definitely Jennifer Hudson’s coming out party. She’s fantastic.

But let’s face it, Beyonce is the draw along with Eddie and Jamie….no one would give a damn about Jennifer Hudson. Maybe AFTER seeing the movie, but she couldn’t have drawn folks to it beforehand, thus the emphasis on an established star.

I am so happy for Jennifer Hudson. She was eliminated much too soon from Idol (I ain’t saying anything new). It seems like Idol did her a big favor. She is starring with Eddie, Jamie. Wow, that’s big. Some stars haven’t even had that opportunity.

sorry to disappoint some of y’all, but Jennifer hudson MIGHT get nominated for an best actress(oscar) ,but she will NOT win it,coz she needs to prove and establish her self some more,they are way more talented actresses that are more deserving than her,simply because they have paid their dues, beyonce has more of a chance of winning best song than jennifer winning best actress. @115, u need have your ears and eyes checked, coz bday is doing way better than most of the the records(especially the female competition).it’s not that hard and complicated people,all about figures and facts, let go through the list, shall we………best first week sale for a female this year(check), already platinum plus way b4 her couterparts that put out their record way b4 her(check),double platinum worldwide(check),she still on the top 20 after 11 weeks,(she back in the top 10,at #9),hmmmmmmmm i where’s janet,christina,letoya at????
See y’all can hate,twist,fabricate shit,bottom line she’s mudering the female music game,and will keep going strong.to quote beyonce,”there plenty people who might not like her,but there are 10x more who likes her and she loves her self”.

WRONG AGAIN! Sound scan is not accurate. CHECK YOUR FACTS PEOPLE!

Taken from the RIAA website:

We are often asked why we don’t just use sales figures from SoundScan. SoundScan measures over-the-counter sales at music retail locations, while the RIAA®’s certification levels are based on unit shipments (minus returns) from manufacturers to a wide range of accounts, including non-retail record clubs, mail order houses, specialty stores, units shipped for Internet fulfillment or direct marketing sales, such as TV-advertised albums. The other difference is that SoundScan’s archive is only a few years old, while the RIAA® has tracked artists’ sales levels for more than 40 years.

what bill board chart are you all looking at?

Friday, November 24, 2006 /

Beyonce is in the top 10 she is in the top 50 at #16

http://www.billboard.com/...er=Top+11-50&g=Albums

She is 2*platium according to billboard but the riaa she is not. The platuim that she is getting on the billboard is for units shipped but she will not be award a platinum award until she has SOLD a million cd’s.

The Process

The certification process begins with an independent sales audit of each title by Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, a highly respected accounting firm that has been auditing title sales for the RIAA® for more than 20 years.

The audit calculates what product has been shipped for sale, net after returns, versus product used for promotional purposes, for the life of the release. When certifying audio and music video releases, the independent auditor is careful to survey the entire music marketplace. An artist’s Gold® or Platinum® award represents sales through retail, record clubs, rackjobbers, and all other ancillary markets that legitimately distribute music. Once a title’s sales has been audited and verified as having reached requisite levels, a formal certification report is issued and sent to the title’s record company.

We are often asked why we don’t just use sales figures from SoundScan. SoundScan measures over-the-counter sales at music retail locations, while the RIAA®’s certification levels are based on unit shipments (minus returns) from manufacturers to a wide range of accounts, including non-retail record clubs, mail order houses, specialty stores, units shipped for Internet fulfillment or direct marketing sales, such as TV-advertised albums. The other difference is that SoundScan’s archive is only a few years old, while the RIAA® has tracked artists’ sales levels for more than 40 years.

Read it for yourself. This is taken directly from Billboard. She’s #9

http://www.billboard.com/...vnu_content_id=1003437915

“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.”

Exactly. Shipped means sent to the store. I could send a CD to the dam store and say I was Platinum. Because they sent that many does not mean she sold that many. And a number on the Billboard chart does not certify any body. Yes they are waiting for the end of the year. To see how many were sold, how many were returned, and how many are STILL IN THE DAM STORE! LMAO

Since RIAA is the ONLY one that can certify a CD (and she is not) that is the one we need to be looking at.

CJ

Friday, November 24, 2006 /

@ #139 Naw, u got it twisted and mixed up(plus no on said anything about soundscan), so let it break it down for you, soundscan basically sales data for singles, albums, and music video products in Canada and the United States for Billboard and other music industry companies. MTV, VH1, and many other North American cable music channels use Nielsen SoundScan data as well.it actaully tracks sales data from the cash regsiter,from various retail, mass merchant, and non-retail (online stores) outlets in Canada and the U.S.The Recording Industry Association of America also tracks sales (or more accurately, shipments less potential returns) on a long-term basis through the RIAA certification system; it has never used either Nielsen SoundScan or the store-calling method
In comparison, RIAA’s system is a 100% sample of shipments, but does not track actual sales in real-time as Nielsen SoundScan does.Contrary to popular belief, Nielsen SoundScan figures are not used in RIAA certification; the RIAA system predates Nielsen SoundScan and includes sales outlets Nielsen misses. Prior to Nielsen SoundScan, RIAA certification was the only audited and verifiable system for tracking music sales in the U.S.; it is still the only system capable of tracking 100% of sales (albeit as shipments less potential returns, not actual sales like Nielsen SoundScan).
bottom line they both hand in hand by billboard.com to determine chart positions and certification, so for FYI #139 RIAA gave bee her platinum certification and her double platinum certiication will be on it’s way shortly……….so stay tunned

151.

damshespretty

Friday, November 24, 2006 /

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.

@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

@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.

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?

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!

@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.”

~*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.

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

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!

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!!!!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

@256

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” !

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Lmao @ 290 saying Beyonce and her llama!! I agree with you they need to sit their asses down. But what I keep hearing people say that I need to address is the fact that Beyonce brings people to the theaters. WTF? Even her stans know she can’t act worth shit, so that is just the studios hoping and wishing not making decisions based on facts or previous history. Did any of her previous movies break any records? I don’t remember any fanfare with the release of Fighting Temptations or Pink Panther. In fact, both of the movies got really bad reviews. So I don’t think that Paramount or whoever the studio is believes she’s that important. Movies are funny, there aren’t really many black stars that are guaranteed box office bonanzas with their name alone like a pre-Katie Tom Cruise or a Brad Pitt. Beyonce just asthetically appeals to white people because her pigment is lighter, so they figure they will throw her up there, so at least they can count a few white people buying a ticket, not blowing out the box office, not actually believing she is going to sell a record number of tickets. If anything the draws to the movie are Eddie Murphy and Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx. Not that heffa.

PS.

Say what you want at some point (and that point, may come sooner that you think if Miss Jennifer is nominated for an Academy Award) Ms. Beyonce’s little Miss Perfect routine is going to crack. And it ain’t gonna be pretty!

Now my thoughts on the REAL topic: They are promoting the hell out of this flick! I don’t think it has that much competition either on Dec 15th, I know that Will Smiths movie is coming out but I can’t think of anything else. Anywho I guess I check it out if i have time.

Jennifer Holliday Says She Created Role In Dreamgirls And Doesnt Want To Be Forgotten

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: 11/22/2006

Jennifer Holliday, the original Dreamgirl, who created the breakout role of Effie White twenty years ago on Broadway, says she’s very disappointed at her lack of involvement in the soon-to-be-released film version of Dreamgirls.

“I’m not going to lie - I did have hopes that I would reprise the role for the screen. What I wasn’t prepared for was not to even be asked to do a cameo of some sort,” Holliday told INSIDE EDITION’s Deborah Norville.

Holliday says the filmmakers use her voice for the hit song, “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going,” to market the movie.

“For six months they used my voice on the trailer,” Holliday told INSIDE EDITION, explaining she doesn’t want people to think she’s angry, but admits the resurgence of interest in the Dreamgirls story is extremely bittersweet for her.

“What the public doesn’t understand is that I actually created my role. I wasn’t a girl-for-hire where someone said, ‘Here’s the script and here’s the songs - your job starts tomorrow. I actually created that role,” Holliday says.

She also said, “Everything from the song “And I Am Telling You” to the end of the second act, I created. Effie was not in the second act at all. I fought for her to be there. I fought for her to come back strong. I fought for her to have more songs.”

Holliday was 21-years-old and an unknown talent when Dreamgirls opened on Broadway and was an immediate hit. She went on to win a Tony Award for Best Actress (Musical) for Dreamgirls, and two Grammy Awards. Shortly thereafter, her record company dropped her, she says, because she didn’t have the right look.

She told INSIDE EDITION, “I had ballooned up to 340 pounds. I had been dropped from my record company, not because of flagging sales, but because of my weight. The record company said, ‘You have a great voice, but it’s about image.’”

At one point, Holliday says, she was so despondent over her lack of a recording career coupled with her weight gain, that she attempted suicide.

“I took an overdose of sleeping pills and, just to show you how bad my career was, I tried to take my life, and nobody even wrote about it. It was like, ‘Okay, I didn’t even get in the paper.’ They didn’t even know who I was,” she says.

Holliday says she’s coming forward now because she feels more optimistic and in control for the first time in years.

“I have suffered with clinical depression so, to some people, I’m a bit of a recluse but I do still sing. It’s just that I’m more comfortable with working and singing than I am just out with people,” she told INSIDE EDITION.

She continues, “I was only a voice for so many years, not a person. But I do feel, for the first time, that I am a person and that I am more than a voice and somehow I do want to move forward. I’ve chosen life, although it’s still quite difficult for me day-to-day, but I do want to live.”

“I want people to know that there is hope. I want people to choose life because I lost a beautiful friend. Phyllis Hyman, who was a beautiful jazz singer, took her life in 1995. Then, in 2000, Susannah McCorkle, a great jazz singer, took her life and I also tried to take mine when I was 30 years old.”

Holliday says she thinks its ironic, that the performer who has the role of Effie in the film version, Jennifer Hudson, has the same first name and the same initials as Holliday. But, she says, someone recently told her that her performance on the 1982 Tony Awards, is on a popular video website and she was thrilled.

“I’m glad about YouTube showing my Tony performance because that way the public can see that I did it first and that this is being copied.”

I happened to catch this interview last night on television. That woman is b-i-t-t-e-r. I understand that Jennifer Holliday is a large part of the Dreamgirls history — how could she not be? But for her to think that she would even be considered for the role of a young Effie White is hysterical. Yes a cameo would have been nice…not sure why she wasn’t given at least that much. But…this isn’t her film. Though Loretta Divine is going to appear in the film. Interestingly enough she is the only original Dreamgirl to not run her mouth about the film — Sheryl Lee Ralph…I’m lookin’ at you.

Holliday did say that she was invited (by the creators of the film) to attend the Hollywood premiere and that she gladly accepted. Hopefully she is capable of celebrating the Dreamgrils legacy — and her part in that — without doing the whole “I did it first” stuff.

Jennifer Hudson was my favorite on American Idol, the week she got voted off I was so pissed ( It kind of was a good thing, because I started to pay attention afterwards to Fantasia)But anyways I’m so glad she finally is getting some shine. I’m not a big Beyonce fan but I like her she got talent, but out side of Goldmember every acting gig has had something to do with singing. I want her to do something outside the box.

Well, I happen to see Beyonce on MTV and she was being
interview, and she said that she really want a Oscar
the interview was about her and the movie Dreamgirl
also about her new CD. Maybe she can out later and said she didn’t want want a Oscar for playing her part after seeing that Jennifer torn it up. And Bey
singing on Oprah the song was sound like I am telling
you that she wanted to sound like Jennifer. I believe that she wanted it to be about her. I still say this
they should have gotten someone with that r& b soul
sound to play Beyonce part. And they didn’t need Bey
name to make the movie sell they could have use Fantasia Jennifer and the other Black chic AI3 the play these parts. And the movie would have been Just as successful. This will have gave these people some
shine and it would have been different and they change
the song to fit Beyonce. I will be watching the movie
Thumb to my people.

Jennifer has a much richer and stronger voice than B. She is more soulful and her voice seems to compliment how she looks. B is more verbrata like when Destiny’s Child sang “no no no…” it was like a chimp monk was singing, but it was cute also her voice sounds like a few hundred other ladies out there. For example Kelly Rowland sounds like her…a lot. If you compare the two you most always love Jennifer! It’s like apples and oranges. They are totally different.
Everyone says that B is so pretty-take out the weave and less makeup and she looks like solange…not cute. Put in the weave and add a few more pounds and you get “The Momma” Tina…who is fab in her own way. I do think they are talented, but too much and too over the top for my taste. I like more understated people who quietly go about their bidnezz..yah aaah sayz bidnezz not business okaaaay(nikki parker) okaaaay. or count crackula(My baby daddy) Beyonce’s head is SWOOOOOLE!

In ‘02 sometime after GOLDMEMBER” or whatever that movie was…Beyonce hired JLO’s publicist and from their Beyonce just started to steel everything from her but JLO doesn’t care becasue she got what she came for.

I agree with JLO being one of the Best Dressed in the world because she dresses according to her SHAPE AND SIZE like MOST women don’t know how to and wears colors that flatter her ALWAYZ. Even if I personally don’t care for what she has on, she always has STYLE

How could she be anything else when she has Mathiew and Tina Knowles’ SELFISH asses around her ALWAYZ telling her how WONDERFUL she is!!!

And to the person who went on and on about her accomplishments, I could BREAK DOWN EACH ONE OF THOSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS like FOX 11 and other sites have but I will leave that hate to them

So much more goes on behind the scenes that people JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND

They (THe KNOWLES’ and Colombia Sony BMG one of THE MOST POWERFUL INFLUENTIAL LABLES TO DATE) have taken a very attractive girl with more talent than average (WHICH WITH THIS CURRENT MARKET, MICKEY MOUSE SOUNDS BETTER THAN MOST OF THE CURRENT ARTIST) and PRESTO you have an international puppet I mean SUPERSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR *gets down on her knees and throws her arms up in the SUPERSTAR pose ;)

This is the most undesirable trait that black women have, and is the one thing that drives me absolutely crazy. Ladies…women…please…STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER!!! Be happy that we have a face of a black woman on top that we can be proud of and can hold her own against her white counterparts. Nobody besides Mary J has a greater presence in music today. Secondly remember that YOU ARE NOT HER AND AREN’T LIVING HER LIFE!!! You do things your way, she does things hers. Stop complaining about her family when alot of you come from broken homes, don’t know who your mother/father is, or never had someone to support your every move. Having support like Bey has IS A BEAUTIFUL THING…why are so many of you trying to turn her positive into her negative???

She would THREATIN to stop paying for EVERYTHING if I got off track in school so now that I am 27, I am so THANKFUL that I will alwayz have my education to fall back on because looks fade and success in the industry, no matter how ON TOP you may be @ any given time, there will ALWAYZ come a time when NO ONE WANTS ANYTHING FROM YOU ANYMORE.

And what I SEE in Beyonce,and her parents is them DESPERATELY trying to keep their daugher on top so that she doesn’t slip into a DEEPER DEPRESSION than when DC4 broke up and possibly NOT recover and become a RECLUSE or worse?! They have not instilled ANY sustinance in that poor beautiful girl and NOW all she is is a MACHINE and she knows NOTHING ELSE!!!

I hate to see it,but I see a REAL MENTAL BREAKDOWN in the future it she continues to let other people control her life….even mommy and daddy!!

*NOTE TO STANS I DID NOT, repeat DID NOT in anyway wish ANY physical harm to Beyonce or anything of the sort… I have just seen it happen TOO many times when people put all of their eggs in 1 basket and have no REAL LIFE!!!

So entertainers just don’t know how to “Turn off the switch” and be a real person because it takes SO FUCKIN’ MUCH to get there, you forget to be a real person.

With that said, GOD BLESS Beyonce and her family and I DO want to see Dreamgirls because I want to support an All black cast in the box office.

You know - on one level I do see the point that you are making. However - as a woman who works in investment banking I know all to well what a lot of women do to other women in order to have a heady degree of success. It doesnt matter what race or socio-economic level one comes from - a lot of women are denied Beyonce’s level of success precisely because of other women. Beyonce may be beautiful and talented, and yes she definitely worked hard, etc.; but what put her at the top was her parents’ ruthlessness in dealing with the other DC girls over the years. The bottom line is that a lot of successful people even in show business come by their success by playing a hard and sometimes nasty game and Ms Knowles is no exception.

With regards to Dreamgirls - it was a fantastic play and I do look forward to the film and especially Jennifer Hudson taking on Jennifer Holliday’s classic, show-stopping song.

I have already seend the movie and even though I am a huge Beyonce fan and she did a great job in this movie, J Hudson is the real star. This is really going to be a ground breaking experience for her. Her past on broadway has really given her some training and she brings it really hard. And her rendition on I am telling You Is wonderful. Hands down Jenifer Hudson is the star.

Is it that serious?

Sunday, November 26, 2006 /

I’ve noticed that the comment section for World Aids day has nowhere near the amount of posts as this. Come on,get your priorities in order.Is it worth the time and energy to ‘net beef over artists that don’t give a damn about what the public says or thinks? Let it go. Besides,the same celebrities are going to do something tomorrow that will cause a collective buzz anyway. Be it Jay-Z’s clothing choices, Beyonce’s hair or makeup, Cassie’s talentless efforts to be a singer, and even Flava Flav’s most recent coon antics.

Yes,this is a gossip site and you are free to voice your opinion,but when you start fighting amongst yourselves that is a clear sign that it’s time to take a deep breath and turn off your computer. I know some of your fingers are sore from all that frenzied pounding on the keyboard.

Support black cinema and be glad that there is a movie that’s not showing Blacks smoking crack,beating their wives,being promiscous,selling drugs,in a jail cell or running down the street sweaty in a dirty tank top waving a glock.

So honestly all you paragraphs yall write have no merit because it’s just opinion NOT fact!!! Anyways Jennifer is going to be amazing in the movie no doubt. Her character is the focus of the movie so of course her role is vital. And she will win an oscar in my opinion. At the same time yall making it seem like she is ending Beyonce’s career when that is absolutely not the case. It’s going to take more than one movie for Jennifer to reach Beyonce status and that’s the truth!! Beyonce aint going nowhere yall and this movie is also going to catapault her career in a big way as well. Good luck to everyone in the movie, I can’t wait to watch it!!! Beyonce you gonna get that oscar as well for Listen, so prepare your speech girl!!!

Kinda makes me believe those rumors about the backstage shadiness from Bey and her parents. Anyways, beyonce definitely looked alittel jealous on Oprah and her smile was so fake. I love the way Anika and J-Hud came out and brought some personality to the stage on Oprah, unlike Beyonce in her very inappropriate dress and her BLAH personality..answeres soundin all practiced. Just callin it by whay I saw, I’m not a Bey hater, love her music.

Hey everybody, Bey is not looking white! I am a lighted-tone female myself and so i can talk. Bey looks light because maybe that is her real complextion. She stop tanning.. People kill me always talking bad about someone. If you don’t like her fine then don’t talk about her. I like everyone in this movie. And by the way for all the people on here who don’t know anything about the Broadway “Dreamgirls” then you should do some research. Deena is the Lead and Effie is too. The story tell how a girl group went from backup singer to a headlining group. then one of the members become unrully (Effie) due to her losing her lead singer position to the prettier, more appealling singer (Deena) then the group kicks Effie out because of her attitude. Deena get all the exposure because of her looks and talent and Effie has to find her carrer by herself. Go to dreamgirls.com to get more info.

It’s a wonderful thing that the movie is getting great press. I’ve been in several Dreamgirls cast. I play the role of James Thunder Earley. It’s a great role such as Effie. Generally unless the actor or singer is horrible whomever is casted will shine. That’s how the show was created. Ofcourse I get down anyway. Eddie is funny. The character of James Thunder I believe he will be great it. Beyonce should’nt worry she’a already a star. If she is worried well that’s her fault. She should have read script. Maybe she would have made another choice. Performers must understand that there are no small parts only small players.It should’nt matter whether Jennifer Hudson stands out. Long as Beyonce knows in her heart that she herself got down and she did her homework.

To Hopeful and all you other Beyonce defenders; I am so sick and tired of you all jumping down folks throats because they don’t like this girl…people have the right for “free will” which means they can like or dislike anyone they choose…. now I agree that there’s no need to be negative in this post and no need to spread things that aren’t true but we all know that Beyonce is a good actress and she knows exactly how to act in front of the camera (especially) when being watched….so don’t be so quick to call people liars unless you have actual facts to prove that their lying about the girl’s intentions. Beyonce is human just like everyone else, and she’s got her flaws too…people just don’t make up stuff about her everybody can’t be lieing…

And for the person who got all defensive about a comment of Jennifer Hudson outshining Beyonce and stating “who is she anyway”… many people do know who she is and know that she can SING her azz off. Now rumor has it that you all’s precious Bey, has someone singing for her and her daddy pays this girl, but since he’s been missing payments the girl is coming out…now whether this has any validity or not I don’t know but you can go to http://www.sandrarose.com for more information on that one.

All I’m saying is…DREAMGIRLS is a must see movie and all blacks, whites, latinos, asians..should go and support this movie. Bey may not be the star of the movie but her role is important nonetheless, just like all of our roles in this life..some of us will outshine the other, but we all have our chance in the spot light just be wise enough to know when it’s time for you move out of the way and let someone else have their moment…..

peace and love to all you bey fans and non-fans….i’m not going to call you haters because i don’t see that at all.

OMG!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HIT THE LINK TO SANDRAROSE.com @ #382 DIVIN’s post above and read the artical on a “Ghostsinger” for a very prominent artist that has gone multiplatinum and has had MUCH sucess within’ the last 5 years and tell me….IS IT Beyonce that the LAWYER is talking about?

Did Mathiew Knowles pull a Milli Vanilli and hire someone to sing on ALL of Beyonce’s albums?

The Lawyer that posted the blog is RIGHT AS HELL when he stated that this would blow the TOP off of the music industry!!!!

They better put Beyonce on a suicide watch if this SHIT hits the FAN!!!

I believe she can sing…but I was SURE fooled by Milli Vanilli back in the day…and the again with C&C music factory a few years later

The artical reads that a “less attractive” person has been singing for her ALL ALONG!!!

It’s probably just a rumor but WHAT IF?…..

Go ahead stans, have your field day on my comment. I’m just askin’ a simple question

Could the majority attempt to do what Beyonce or Jennifer does.My mom is personally afraid of fans. My mom always says a fan can kill you. The word fan comes from the word fanatical. The Beatles stop touring for that reason. You should’nt call each other direspectful names for a stranger that you have’nt had the pleasure to go to dinner with or hvae a 2 minute conversation with.

Heidi

Tuesday, November 28, 2006 /

I think people are just tired of Beyawnce. She’s definitely not the greatest singer/actress out there. She’s very mediocre. She’s a jack of all trades but a master at none. Someone mentioned earlier that she is a package…a marketer’s dream. She aaight in singing (btw, BEYAWNCE WILL NEVER NEVER EVER EVER make a song cry, she’s not capable because she’s always cheating a fucking note. What she does is called verbrato or something. If she isn’t doing that then she’s screaming like a god damned bangee) And She’s mediocre in acting. I really believe in my heart that she’s would not have had the success she’s had if she wasn’t light and bright and easy on the eyes for main stream america. There have been plenty of singing sensations who could sing Beyawnce all the way back to Houston, but because they were dark skinned, and or had “ethnic features”, they didn’t make that cross over appeal. I think Beyawnce made it this far because a large part of it had to do with her looks…not talent.

Now that I’ve said what I had to say, all you Beyawnce fans whipp out your House Of Dereon Designer Knee pads and take your best shot. I swear Tina Knowles has ya’ll on Payroll or something.

To get this out of the way, Beyonce is naturally light, she uses make-up to make herself look darker. J. Hudson is the center of attraction in this movie , and I’m proud that even after the loss of American Idol, she made a mark/name for herself. Both females are talented in their own way…let’s all just support each other.
