I think Rhi and Chris look good together if they are dating….young love young love.

tell em Matty

Daddy Knowles is right! Aretha was trippin! And I thought that people referred to Tina Turner as the “Queen of Rock and Roll”??? Aretha is just mad that Tina is older than her and looks 100 times better. She really needs to get a hobby. I respect her don’t get me wrong but bashing Bey over something so minor, and in PUBLIC is a bit diva-ish don’t you think??

Wayne got indicted and Tip will be in court on the 19th? I think….wow at the rap game right now. Not a good look.

*Lil Wayne please get it together..Do it for New Orleans at least.
*Chris Brown and Rhi Rhi union doesnt sound too far fetched.
*I personally think Da Queen Of Soul Aretha had way more hits than Tina but I dont Think The Bey Grammy Intro was a personal attack on Aretha.

oh shut up matthew

-Rihanna n Chris need 2 stop playin around!!!!!
We all no they’re a couple!!!!!
Cute couple at dat!!!!!

-Mattew Knowles knows he always comes 2 his daughter’s rescue when she needs him the most…
Y COULDN’T HE DO DIS 4 KELLY????

-Poor Weezy F. Baby
Maybe he’ll “lay low” on the DRUGS!!!! SIKE…
LOL

TIANNA said: “Who knows - this girl has been linked to everybody by now…”

GIRL, YOU A FOOL WIT IT, LMAO!

rihanna and chris brown are kind cute together, with their matching tats.
oh no. i was sooo expecting the daddy knowles comeback.
lil wayne look like he has a little bitchassness in him. not a great time to be going to the pen.

I mean she has! Not tryna say she a skank or anything but, she has been linked with too many folks and she ain’t even 21 yet. She seems like she’s just a touchy person and the media plays off of it.

Who we got - Jay Z, Omarion, Josh Hartnett, Chris…I know I’m missing people…

SHIA LEBOUF (sp)

Rihanna and Chris Brown, I knew it would eventually happen…it’s not gonna last tho, expect that. Beyonce’s dad didn’t have to release a statement, the comment was meant to incite drama, for all we know if Aretha wants to point fingers, point to the writers of the show!!! Lil Wayne- Next…

lol @ Tiana, yea she not even 21 yet and I do think you are missing a few names, but She still a hit maker and trend setter.

did i tell you to go to sleep, just wait for me to get my belt! OHHHHH

@ TINA4RMN.OEAST

WTH?

Rihanna and Chris look good 2gether. So its whateva with them.

Bey wasn’t personally attacking Aretha, but the way Daddy Knowles aka Big Red is talking seems like he is.

Lil Wayne need to head straight to rehab no stops along the way.

AND ARETHA CLAIMS THAT SHE IS SOOOOO HUMBLE. HA!! WHAT A JOKE. TINA IS THE QUEEN!!! YOU DO SEE HER ACTING LIKE AN ARROGANT 5-YEAR OLD.

Tianna - Shia Lebouf (sp?) I knew she was young but I didn’t realize that she’s not even 21! But ur right the media does like to blow things outta porportion just cause ur u chillen wit someone doesn’t mean ur f****n! : )

Wow Chris and Rhi look tight….like Spandex!!!!
He’s doing big thangs!!!!…Literally!!!!

Daddy Knowles just wanted to be on TV…Thats why he responded to an irrelevent statement.
I dont know where Aretha came from but she needs to go back to hibernation. No one can touch her…..She’s still safe.

These Rappers have been on that dumb ass status as of late. I dont know what they are smoking but it is very detrimental to their already low mentality.
Weezy was on everyone CD last year….How he find time to get his ass in trouble, and for something soooo stupid.
Since you are a CASH MONEY MILLIONAIRE and STUNT LIKE YOUR DADDY, why didnt you just hire someone to carry that shit!!!!
Cmon rich rappers(sarcastically)!!!

Ciara looked like Bow Wow’s mama when they were dating this is cute…Go Rhi Rhi and Chris….I think she still may be to mature for him

Sarah Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan. Historical women who have performed on this very stage. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being on this stage, but I knew I needed all the right elements. Like the beat of Donna Summer, the spirit of Mahalia Jackson, the jazz of Ella or Nancy. Lena Horne, Anita Baker, Diana Ross. Gladys, Janet, and the beautiful melodies of Whitney. The legacy they have bestowed are simply irreplaceable. But there is one legend who has the essence of all of these things. The glamour. The soul. The passion. The strength. The talent. Ladies and gentlemen, stand on your feet and give it up for the queen.

I dont see how any one can read that and not see where Aretha is coming from. You are not telling me any of you wouldnt be offended If you were in Aretha shoes and sitting in the front row when someone basically says you are good but Tina has it all. I mean i didnt see the need for her to put anybody name in there other than Tina. Tina legacy is enough where she could have made a great speech. Beyonce just does too much and really need to take a break.

comments are still messed up…maybe it’s just me? but they’re still cut off

i like Chris Brown & Rihanna together. shes just a year older than him.. me and Chris are about the same age… i dont see why people are tripping off of them.
2 young people who are skilled.
i dont see this aretha beyonce` thing ending well.. has miss jones thirsty ass
jumped on this so called scandal yet? she just waits to hate on
beyonce`!
Wayne… ?? i dunno. …i just….dunno.

That would be cute if they were a couple.

I think it was okay that Aretha said something, but no disrespect to Mr. Knowles, but he does need to shut up and not respond to Ms. Franklin, because then it will be some sh%^ between to grown a#! people

And Lil’ Wayne needs to get it together or become more discreet for himself, if not for his career

riri and chris…i dont give a shyt…she always switching it up anyway

daddy knowles…you betta tell em!

wayne…

My guess is, she’s giving him the goods.

two

@21 thats absolutley ridiculous why should beyonce refuse from stating how she feels. the same way that pple can have theier idols why shouldnt she. After she is human, Beyonce wheter she does liitle or much as the right to state how she feels in front of or beyond aretha,s back. As far as am concern Aretha is the one creating the drama she dont have to be going around talking crap like this and let the girl and her performance be.And for the record am sure Beyonce aint the only one who feels that way , I bet u r going to say oh cares…Oh but Aretha the big ass cry baby Does!!!!!

riri better watch out before she get sniped out by one of those crazy chris brown fans lol

Jordin looks really nice actually in that picture, best I’ve seen her.

Oh and aint nothing with a girl excersing her options and Rihanna has the right to do that and if she chooses to be with 5 , 10 different man its her hole and she can use it as she pleases

@28 If it is ok for Beyonce to say what she feels then it is ok for Aretha to say what she feels.

I find it funny how fast they wanna throw weezy & tip under tha jail….but, that nasty azz pedophile (sp) Robert (piss on ‘lil girls) Kelly is free 2 be…….shiiiiiiiit is crazy…..tip was crazy stoopid wrong 4 dem dumb azz guns & weezy do got a weed problem, but DAMN…..let kelz nasty azz walk around, like he’s done nothing….AMAZING!

MOVING ON > > > > > > > > in other news:

I love RiRi & Chris 2gether = 2 cuties….sexy

Ummmm,
as far as Beyonce…..her late azz is irritating as hell these days….aretha know she’s the true queen of soul…..why get offended over something so small, especially when she’s so big…..Oops! I meant especially when she’s got a big name for herself…..a big errrthing……..awww damn, ya’ll know what I mean. Even though Beyonce makes my Fu’kin head hurt…..I don’t hink it was wrong or disrespectful….be breezy Ms. Franklin…..we know who you is & we understand your place in music history!

Rihanna and Chris look cute together but yea she really has been linked to like everybody and I luv Aretha but she needs to stop Tina is a Queen too, she’s the Queen of Rock & Roll and its not like Beyonce confused their titles she just said “Queen” so Im not mad at her daddy defending her she didn’t mess up this time so she doesn’t deserve the critizism and as for lil’ wayne he needs to get together… like NOW!!!!!

oh yea & daddy Knowles can kick rocks….I’m so damn tired of them Knowles!

yall picked the WORST photo of Wayne lol. Lookin like a black glo-worm LOL

Chris and Ri Ri look really cute together. I’m pretty sure its just a rumor, but they’re still cute together.

girl dont let me come up there with my gun. I told you to stay the HELL OF THE COMPUTER AFTER CURFEW!!! OHHHHHH

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS CHRIS BROWN JUST LOOKS AWKWARD THESE DAYS…I FEEL LIKE HES IN THAT AWKWARD STAGE OF HIS LIFE. CUTE KID…JUST LOOKS UNCOMFORTABLE ALL THE TIME TO ME.

I think the point that Aretha was trying to make that it was her night she was being honoured for some serious accomplishments she has achieved and she had every right to correct Beyonce on that, next time Beyonce makes a live comment maybe she should think twice or at least do a little research actually pretend to know something about what is going on at the particular event that she performing on and as her dad and manager it is his job to keep her well informed so it is both of their faults for being ignorant.

If Weezie has been arrested three times in the last two years for drug charges, why isn’t he doing major prison time right now? He’s really ignorant, but obviously has not been given any consequences to make hime even wnat to change his ways. Something’s not right.

#19

Thats what happened dumb ass, but they told on Wayne. Wayne a punk and a wack rapper but yall ladies are reaaaaally bougie and think yall better than everybody else with the HOE ass comments yall be makin here. “He/She needs to stop it, im tired of sein him/her” and bum ass shit like dat.

Beyonce needs to fight her own damn battles instead of having Daddy do it for her. I am so sick and tired of these Knowles who seem incapable of doing exactly what everyone wants them to do and that is GO AWAY.
LOL at 35. Black glow worm. ROTFLMAO

so am i the only one who sees this whole “chris & rihanna” thing as a publicity ploy?? them taking all these pics together, her wearing his jacket, yet no real pda. i ain’t falling for it. not till i see some more concrete proof, lol. 2 celebs can be friends and not f*cking, ya know?

so “dating”, no…being ‘cut buddies’ is another story

I’m no Beyonce fan, but Lord, if this girl ain’t always being stigmatized for doing things that aren’t even important or bad. I never thought I’d say this one day but I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with Matthew Knowles. Aretha is a Queen in her own right but she’s not the only one so she needs to GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!! My GOSH!!! Some of these celebs are the most ridiculous people in the world. Tina Turner is a FREAKING QUEEN TOO! That girl been there and done that, she won and accomplished everything an artist dreams to, just like Aretha, so why can’t she be called a Queen? Aretha needs to sit down, she played herself. I swear, Beyonce didn’t do ANYTHING wrong, you can be tired of her hogging the spotlight, but don’t attack her over bullshit like this.

Chris and Rihanna, let’s be real, they both need to boost their sales. Anyone can see this is a publicity stunt!

@ 39

Please, so if Aretha got a special honor that night no one else deserves any recognition. No one else is suppose to shine. Get a clue the grammys is for EVERYONE the entire show was NOT dedicated to Aretha. If Aretha felt the way you’re suggesting then she really needs to check her damn ego cause the night/show as a whole was not about her. The Beatles also got a special honor should they be mad at Beyonce as well? I’m just asking because by your logic they should and it makes no damn sense. I agree 100% with Matthew, the only reason he’s speaking is because he was contacted to get a statement from Beyonce about what Aretha said but as you can see from his response he declded not to even bother her with the foolishness.I love Aretha but she’s really on her own braw strap to have even said anything about the performance. The girl finally gets to perform with her idol the artist SHE considers the QUEEN and she had go and try to ruin it for her. Aretha if you consider yourself a queen ACT LIKE IT.

I think Chris and Rhianna make the cutest little couple, if it’s not just a rumor or for publicty.

Wayne Wayne Wayne everybody was saying you were up next to be the next big rap supa dupa star( I totally disagree but whateva) but you keep slipping up. I don’t know if your using drugs recreationally or if it’s a full blown addiction but I do hope you beat it.

Whether they’re dating or are just very close friends, they look cute together. I give it a month or two.

Aretha, please sit your big ass behind down. Bee wasn’t disrespecting you at all. I respect you and I sincerely bow down to you for what you have done in the past, but why you haven’t done shit in years and look like a damn marshmellow and THEN even start shit with a classless comment like that. You ain’t the only legend up in there, honey. You ain’t the only legend who can shine, honey. Go to the damn gym and start makin’ good music again, before you start feelin’ all hurt.

Matthew needs to sit his behind down too. He should’ve shown the world that shit wasn’t a big deal by NOT commenting on such uselessness. THAT would’ve been classy. But then again, instead of bringing that shit up out of the blue, he COULD’ve been asked about it by a reporter. Regardless, he should’ve just brushed his shoulders off and kept it moving. No need to be hurt over such a stupid comment.

Lil Payne… Get the fuck outta here. While others are tryna save hip hop’s image, and show the world it’s the ‘voice of the voiceless’, bitches like Payne fucking it up again. SMFH

Oh Chris and Rihanna… there they are Mr. and Ms America, I never seen so much hype over a 2 year old and a 4 year old. lol but their cute.

Wayne please put the peices back together for us.

The whole Grammy thing is still pointless to me. I don’t think Beyonce met to pick on anyone ( I doubt if she has listen to more than one song of the people she listed) but I get where Aretha is coming from. When you work hard to not only to get a name for yourself but to pave the way for others it kind of ticks you off when the one you pave the road for gives the “Queen” title to someone else. Just like years from now if someone called Beyonce “The queen of hip hop and R&B soul” (or whatever it is) I’m sure Mary would be in the audience frowning. But the difference is that Beyonce didn’t specify the title so that is where Aretha got ahead of herself. But for real, both of these women came from an era of diva’s and catfights and having a title (espcially as big as being the queen over all of the soul) was the shit back then. And now a title is all the Arethas, Dianas and whoever else have to hold on to, so acknowledge that, not out of pity but R-E-S-P-E-C-T. They will always be important but as music declines and move on, they won’t always be remembered and the truth makes her sensitive. If I was Bee I would have said Queen of Rock and Roll like duh.

As for father knowles if he TRUELY felt like it was nothing, he wouldn’t have said anything about, silence is the real killer…… please teach that to Bee.

I caught some of the NAACP award last night and when Tyler Perry introduced Aretha, he said “the real queen of soul” and he said something else too. That didn’t bother me, what bother me was the fact it took two men to help her up the steps and onto the stage and of course, she should have dress more appropriately for the occasion and for her body type.

What Lil Wayne doing seriously, drug and weapons?? You’d think these guys would learn not to mess around with this type of ish, and they have children aswell its not setting a good example…

Hmm good point Daddy Knowles, I wonder what Aretha is thinking now to that statement lol…

Rihanna and Chris - I dont really care about them two wannabe couples…

The two kids…. I don’t BELIEVE in them. Its a damn front… jeez Rhianna..date who you want.. do WHAT you want..

Matthew sounds quite..snippy..

a lot of yall on here are kids an very disrespectful WHAT RERE WAS SAYIN IS HOW BEE DID HER INTRO LIKE SHE WAS NOTHING BUT TINA IS BETTER THEN ALL DONT GET ME WRONG TINA MY GIRL BUT SHES NOT BETTER THEN RERE ………OK TINA DID NOT WRITE NONE OF HER MUSIC SHE JUST PERFORM.. IKE WROTE HER MUSIC.BUT RERE WROTE HER MUSIC PERFORM HER MUSIC AN GOT A LOT OF GRAMMYS FOR THAT. SHE HAS PERFORM FOR KINGS & QUEENS AN BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.AN SHES THE ONLY ONE THE MAIN STREAM HAS REFURED TO AS THE QUEEN.. ALL THE TIME SHE HAS BEEN OUT LONGER THEN TINA ..SEE TINA WOULD NOT BE NOTHING IF IT WAS NOT FOR IKE . JUST LIKE BEE WOULD NOT BE NOTHING WITHOUT DC4 AN DC4 AGAIN,DC3 OR DADDY. BUT RERE HELD HER OWN ALL THESE YEARS WITH A BABY AT A YOUNG AGE WITHOUT A MAN…………….I READ HER BOOK…………AN SOME OF YALL TALKIN BOUT HOW FAT SHE IS NOW I KNOW MUSIC HAS CHANGED FOR THE WORST ……..NOW TINA HAS BEEN AROUND THE WORLD AN ALL BUT THEY DONT CALL THE QUEEN WHEN THEY SAY HER NAME THEY SAY TINA TURNER……..YALL ALL NEED TO READ THAT INTRO AGAIN AN YALL SEE WHY SHE SAID THAT…….AN WHO EVER THAT WAS WHO SAID BEE IS SAD THAT IS SO TRUE I CAN SEE PAST THE FAKE SMILE TO….AN DADDY KNOWLES SHUTUP U JUST ADDED FUEL TO THE FIRE…………..RIHANNA &CHRIS DO LOOK CUTE MIGHT BE FAKE MIGHT NOT BE BUT CUTE

personally, i think chris brown is kinda ugly.

Whether young or if he was older, Chris Brown doesn’t do a thing for me, but they are both fresh, talented people, so more power to them! Aretha, SIT DOWN!!! I guess Lil Wayne thought he was invincible, huh?

I’m wondering if anybody actually took the time and read Aretha’s comments? Cause cearly she stated that she did not think it was a diss at her!!!!!!!!!!!! So why the hell is everybody talking about Aretha talking bad about Beyonce. People need to take their time and read.

1.Chris Brown is Sexy and Rihanna is NOT good for him..C’mon Chris.
2.Mathew, you tell ‘em, that trick needs to worry about her wright instead of Beyonce’s thoughts.
3. Lil’ Wayne is a mess, HORRIBLE example for his younng fans, he needs to be locked up in Jail for life.

*weight

Miss Aretha needs to get over herself!
I love her to bits but the incident with Bee is just plain petty..
Daddy Knowles - you the man! Stand up for your family. Some men of today might just learn a thing or 2 from u!

I loooooooooove Chris Brown. So so humble. He was in South Africa a few of months back and was so down to earth. We loved him here. Rihanna is perfect for him. She needs to stick to guys in her age group!

Lil Wayne…WHATEVA! Always proving the ‘non african-american’ population right..That black men are good for nothing xcept for being crime statistics GROW UP!

in that photo of jordin chris and rihanna. jordin looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty

Rihanna was linked to Omarion at one point along with Josh,Shia,Jayz and some others and chick is only 19. Good luck Chris Brown!

Daddy Knowles is making more out of this than is necessary. SMH

pffff , rihanna will never date with chris brown coz he is under age . and she call him her “little brother”

Are you guys retarded??? All of the pictures are so obviously photoshopped! Remember the pics of Maricah Carey at the beach recently? they were photoshopped like crazy and people fell for them regarless. In the second pic, look at Rihanna’s jawline, it’s like thin and long, when rihanna has a small face and her jawline does not go that far! In the first one look at how the image is fuzzed…these two are not dating they are trying to make it look like it but these pics are not real!

Ifully understand the “Queen of Soul” perspective. Yes, the writer of Beyonce’s speech should have known better. But so should have Beyonce and her manager/Daddy. Just about every female black icon of jazz, soul, R&B, etc music was mentioned, except for Aretha. It could have been an oversight on the part of the writers and of Beyonce. But I believe Beyonce has some influence over what gigs she takes and to some extent what she says. In this case, I just don’t get how she could have rehearsed this, and rehearse she did, and it not dawn on her that she mentioned just about everyone but the Queen of Soul. All Ri ri is asking for is a little respect, just a little bit. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

being “linked” to people is very speculative. it creates what has been said on here. Rhianna is being called and assumed so many nasty names because of a bullshit media system.

Remember the days when being a teen idol meant you couldn’t date publicly because of fear of losing fans. Well it seems we are still the dumb ignorant public to a bunch of publicists and handlers who think kids, teeny boppers and some immature adults will stop buying Chris Brown & Rhianna’s records if we think they are dating and “unavailable”.
Everyone fucks everyone they are linked to and we lap it up specualting like hungry gossip hounds. The girl is 19 and we turned her into a vamp who can take Jay Z who is 30 0dd yers old to a teenage who is now dting Chris Brown a 18 year old. and eveyone else in between. No wonder our kids are fucked up. They watch tv and listen to this bullshit.

As for Aretha Frankiln. Don’t be too over sensitive darling. If you earned your title and your credentials nothing anyone says matters. maybe you think you are losing it. I mean personally I don’t invest in your “celebrity” I think you look unhealthy and have let yourself go. It cannot be good for you to be that size and weight and it would be such a tragedy if your health failed because many people would utter the words…..

“I knew it” and “I told you so”.

Step your game up and get a trainer. White people have Barbera Streisand, can we have a healthy glamourous international icon too please!!??

Rhianna also was in Dallas Texas recently when Chris Brown was in concert. This was a month ago. She was seen out and about with Chris in Dallas and wearing his jacket. The radio stations in Dallas were all talking about it on K-104. She was even seen at his hotel.

i say lock Wayne up!! Overrated waste of space.

Matthew’s right, but he of all people shouldnt be talkin egos. Speak for himself with his annoying persona.

MR. KNOWLES ALWAYS TRYIN TO SAVE BEYONCE LWT HER SAVE HER SELF.

POOR LIL WAYNE, BUT I STILL LOVE YOU.

@18 so true! go dady knows! that’s wat a maneger and a man handles the damn thang!

I agree Beyonce ’s dad needs to let his daughter handle her own public affairs.
She’s a big girl

LOL, Matthew will never let his daughter speak.Matthew didn’t even have to respond to someone else’s problem, now who looks childish now?Matthew needs a day job I guess Career Builder isn’t helping.

Aretha should be not worried what Beyonce thinks……40 years of great music, music that has empowered women and stood the test of time, Tina is an icon also and deserves love after all she has overcame…..But that statement came from someone who sanged Bugga Boo , Billls, bills, bills & Bootylicious…..I wouldn’t be offended what so ever….and Daddy Knowles needs to shut the hell up, by making that statement has added more bullshit…..Let your daughter fight her own battles…she’s a grown women……

sorry I meant 17 pretty yount thang

Rihanna and Chris make a cute couple but I still think that he looks a little immature for her, but hey looks can be deceiving.

Im glad Matthew said something, cuz it is indeed ridiculous! As a legend Aretha shouldnt result to such petty things. It really wasnt that serious.

areatha is just jelous that tina is older than her and still look great and can still move with those 4 inch heels on. those comment were unnecessary as was natalie coles comments about amy winehouse. yes she did deserve every award she got cause she a bad girl. she just needs to get her shit together but she still talented. aretha can still sing but she need a trainer, nutritionest and a stylist to cover up them big a arm looking like turkey necks.
