Who gives a rat’s ass if rihanna writes three song son her album beyonce writes or co-writes the majority of her songs so why is it such a big deal if rihanna writes three woopty doo!!!

P.S : NOT A HATER PLZ KEEP THAT IN MIND

WHY do people keep comparing Rihanna and Fefe!!!! Like there can only be one BLACK Pop/Rock artist! Because if it wasnt about race then FEFE would be copying Avril, like get REAL! I Like Rihanna i DONT like FEFE so obviously there music and style is different FEFE is Graphic tee’s and jeans Rihanna is far more glamourous than that, and FEFE was straight ROCK!

BRIAN or whatever DEFINTALY has something against Rihanna, that comment wasnt needed in my opinion, Just somethig else to spark up in this post.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS RIHANA IS WORKING ON A ALBUM WHICH IS GREAT AND I WISH HER MUCH SUCCESS, AND BEYONCE HAS A MOVIE COMING OUT, AND HOPE JANET GETS BETTER.

IDK WHY BUT IVE NEVER BEEN A HATER OF ANYONE!

Can’t wait to see Cadillac Records. Go head Bey!

I wonder what Rihanna has in store for us for her next album

And Janet’s got me wondering now. I hope it is just that she’s pregnant and nothing too serious. Wish her well.

#76
all i have to say is one word HATER

why does it say Long Term on everything?

Does Beyonce know that she looks nothing like Etta. I thought actors in a period piece were suppose to look like the person they are playing. Beyonce looks like Beyonce in a blond wig. I understand what she is trying to do but if she wanted an Oscar she should have gained 25 pounds Etta was a chunky chain smoking heroin addict, Beyonce looks like sh’s ready for the red carpet and where are the thick, funny shaped, black eyebrows? Haven’t seen the trailer yet but this isn’t looking good.

you all need to stop hating on Rihanna, she’s doing her thing!

well ima go c the etta james movie i agree beyonce cnt act but i loved dream girls and i am huge beyonce fan so yup im wit it…..
As far as RiRi im not gon lie i loved the old rihanna but Good Girl Gon Bad was my shit to im a fan of her music and her overall style but i must say her personality seems fake i think her gggb image was handed to her cuz her sweet island girl thing wsnt sellin so the whole bad girl thing i jus dnt honestly think its her i mean i have a habbit of reading the cd covers and she dnt write shit so how much of her personality could really be shinnin threw in the music but them is jus my thoughts
lets stop compearin b and riri they 2 different artist who to me have nada in common besides jay z…i mean every beyonce cd sounds diff from survivor 2 bday so her switch up her sound dsnt surprise me i mean she has to be relevent with 2day so much love to RIRI and B they both gon do they thing in 09′ im sure
OH yeah and janet get well!!!!

I looooove Beyonce I really do, I’m even hoping she can prove me wrong, but I feel they should have looked for someone else to play Etta James honestly. If you’ve seen Etta from back in the day, she was a lot bigger than Beyonce. I just don’t think B’s size is realistic at all for this role. And I don’t think my comment is superficial because, would they get a skinny black guy to play Biggie in his movie?

Awww, Janet, get well soon mami! I hope she’s okay.

I might see Cadillac cars, only to see cute Adrien Brody, but because beyonce fat ass can’t act, i wont waste my money in the theatre, i’ll get it bootleg. Any movie beyonce is in, she can’t act; ive given her plenty of chances watching her movies, but she just cannot act….She won’t get my $10.00 this go around. Any movie she’s in, it brings the movie down, even though all the actors around her are excellent.

I’m excited about Rhi’s new project. Taking chances is part of the game, but i usually say if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. But Rhi has the ability to make something so catchy and fun, that’s what i love about her music. So i’m excited to hear what she brings this time around.

well said #1, fefe had her chance…i’ll be seeing cadillac records at the movies-who hoo BEYONCE

Okay, so who is fefe? Lol. Forget that motown movie, I wanna see that movie with Beyonce and Idris.[lets see if she can pull that off]! Singing is in her nature so her playing a singer is soo much easier. Rhianna is ok. I must admit i do like her songs.[ R&B, Reggae that is]. But for her to just go straight up punk rock aint fair.. But she can pull it off, i just wont be feeling it. Oh and janet. Who cares. Dont she already got a 22 year old daughter. SMH..

Beyonce’s movie sounds like its going to be good, looking @ the soundtrack cover. I just hope her acting got better. I love Bey

Rihanna has four albums and a re-release in 3 years? If you so called have a safe and secure place as an artist in the music industry, then why can’t you afford to sit down for @least a year, actually experience new things, get to a higher level, musically, in your life, and then come out with good music so your album doesn’t sound rushed?? Oh well, just my thinking….

Get well Janet…..she’s such a performer.

Rihanna is not going to sit down because its her time to shine. Beyonce time has come and gone a few times lol

Note to Beyonce!

PLEASE STOP!
Beyonce you could not act to save your life when you were playing a totally fictional character named Dina Jones. Now how do you expect to play a TRUE Icon like Etta James????

Beyonce has proven that she can’t act on the same stage of Academy Awards winners and now she has the nerve to try and “ACT” with Jeffery Wright and Adrien Brody?????

Beyonce you have proven you LOVE to dress up in costumes but you sure can’t act!
I can’t wait to see read the reviews of her wooden attempts at portraying Etta James.

Thank God Rihanna is dropping something new because I need to hear from a true STAR!

Beyonce give it up this is not going to be a good year for you.

NEXT!

cadillac records: not looking forward to it
rihanna: the ultimate poser. i love when ppl say “she’s just trying to do her”. no she’s just trying to be whoever her label and fans want her to be b/c if this image truly was her, she would’ve been a bad chick from the beginning, she would’ve been listening to rock when she was in barbados (she herself said she never liked rock b4 but in one year, she became the symbol of rock edginess. give me a break).

Beyonce will be the only reason I go to see Cadillac Records.
Rihanna can write lyrics??? Huh?? I wish this young chick get her identity and quite trying and imitating Beyonce.
Rihanna does not have the talent, looks, personality, money or husband that Beyonce has so she need to just give it up and just do her.

No matter how many times people say Beyonce cant act, she will continue to do so. And I commend her for doing so. A person gets better with time. With time any person off the street can learn how to read a script and give some emotion. Acting isnt that hard to do, so I think she will eventually learn.

And she by far isnt the worst music artist turned actor. I can name countless who are worse than her. One example….is Ice Cube. He plays the same person with the same emotion (angry) in every movie. Yet he still does movies and gets roles.

Ashanti’s acting is worst than Beyonce’s as well.

can’t we just try being happy for rihanna once without tinging everything with negativity. If Fefe wanted to sing, she’d be at it. Elvis co-opted ideas and it worked, because he was good at it. Maybe instead of roving around drunk and dipping it low with Christina Milian, Fefe could record a track or two.

i wonder what’s going on with janet…hope she’s alright.

off topic- post that new ciara video…lol.

Let’s not lie - I know what you mean.

And how can Britney be compared to Rihanna? Are people forgetting how many records Britney has sold and still is selling. Let us not get confused with hype and real talent.Britney may not be able to sing, but people believe in her wayyyy more than they ever have for Rihanna. Rihanna will never get REAL album sales because she is a puppet. Whatever you have to say about Britney, she has stayed pop and true to herself.

There is a difference between being a performer and a star. A performer will make music and stay true to themselves. A star will do anything to stay in the spotlight, even if it means selling their soul. We all know Rihanna is a star, not a performer.

sorry #93, even Ashanti acts better than Beyonce. At least Ashanti can get a role playing someone other than an act from the 60’s! Beyonce looks pretty playing dress up and in her poor little eyes, that is probably all it takes to be a legend! This girl really think she gonna get an oscar!
As for Rihanna, her style is not even her own. Fuck FEfe! Who was more edgy and different than Kelis?
Ri-ri came out as a tanned west-indian chick, now she is a pale faced rocker chick! don’t believe the hype!

This 4th album can make rihannas career betta or break it off piece by piece. She betta come hard 4real. If not…oh well.

so many beyonce haters out there. WOW! they just lub bey too much. admit it

ok so it’s better to ask then not….
who is FEFE?
lmao I know I know sounds bad!

beyonce stans are still jealous of rihanna. beyonce is in the studio trying to make good girl gone bad. she working with damn near everybody rihanna worked with. not a good look

its good that rihanna is writing three songs for her next album. atleast she ain’t taking credit for writing and producing something she didn’t. like that other chick

OMG Rihanna…….I’m tired of this punk-rock “Good Girl Gone Bad” wear black ALL the damn time look! Do something DIFFERENT! I liked the reggae Rihanna A LOT better. This stuff she doing now is just an image. She’s coming out with the albums TOO FAST! Dang girl,sit down a minute,reinvent yourself,WRITE more songs and not just THREE! That’s how you make the money by writing your songs then you won’t have to pay more people. TAKE VOCAL LESSONS,so your performances can be better! I’m starting to think more and more that this girl is just an image and a puppet.

@ #97
No!!!
I was right when I said Ashanti is a worst actor than Beyonce. First of all none of her roles are memorable. And whenever she is doing dialogue in a movie it always seems like she is reading a teleprompter.

Beyonce wants an Oscar. Is it bad to have dreams or goals. Honestly, if she never wins one, I think her status as a “legend” is already set music wise. And she knows that. She knows she has pretty much accomplished everything there is to accomplish in music, so why not move on to a different venue. You know…try her hand at different things. Yes, she has expressed her want for an Oscar, but she has also said that an Oscar isnt her sole purpose for jumping into acting.

Barbra Streisand has made a career out of doing musicals and musical format television specials. Diana has played a singer or played a character that sings in a movie multiple times. So whats wrong with Beyonce doing the same?

I liked Rihanna’s reggae/island feel type of music better. I understand that an artist has 2 grow & evolve, but i hope she’s staying true to who she really is cause if all these good girl gone bad image is manufactured, then i feel sorry 4 her, she’ll be lying 2 herself & she’ll suffer in the end.

If Beyonce was just taking credit for songs she didnt write I dont think she would have been the first black woman to win ASCAP songwriter of the year a couple years back.

HATERS TRY AGAIN!!!

The only producer Beyonce is working with that Rihanna has worked with is The Dream and Timbaland. (Which those are two people everyone works with).

On this new album Beyonce will be working with Pharrell, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Freemasons, Sean Garrett, and Bryan-Michael Cox. None of which Rihanna has worked with.

HATERS TRY AGAIN!!!!

Beyonce is finished. She is a washed up wanna be Diana Ross. This bish need to stay home and cook for CaMEL face because she looks a damn fool trying to act like Etta James. Etta is not Ms. Perfect. She comes from a background where she did drugs and was put through hell in this business. How can Beyonce possibly pull that off? She has no depth as an actor, shist, she couldn;t even pull off that role as Dena in DG…She looks like she is on her last leg as far as trying to get that Oscar! All these horrible movies she’s doing is going to put her career further off track. People are already sick of her. She needs to have a seat as a old ass married woman now, go spit out some kids unless camels pepsi bottle ain’t working right. I mean she been with him for years and still no baby…and I don’t believe its because she wasn’t trying. He can’t knock her big ass up!!

Lol!! Wow!
How is Beyonce tryna copy Rihanna?? Beyonce is a veteran in the game!!! No matter wat B do her shit gon sale cuz she been in da game long enough 2 know wat it takes 2 sale a album wit a group or on her own..come on now. But like I said Rihanna g2 come hard n stop playin dress up so much. Half of the audience hate her half of em like her [[Mainly bcuz of her style]] but makin a album n truly bein a artist takes alot more than a bangin hairstyle n edgy clothes. I cant wait 2 see wat Rihanna does tho 4real.

I can’t wait for this film. I’m interested in seeing and hearing Beyonce as Etta James.

Look I need everybody to calm the hell down. Give Rihanna a chance to find out who she is. Every girl raised in the Caribbean sings with a reggae or calypso vibe… they can’t help that. After living in the US and travelling all over the world do u really expect Rihanna to stay the same??? Let me tell you… that changes.
She is not Beyonce, but she probably is influenced by her as are millions of chicks all over the damn place. She is not Britney…who the hell wants to be Britney anywayz. She is not Fefe… CL is the only place where Fefe is even discussed. But look at Ciara’s new video and Michelle’s new hair cut… they realize that Rihanna’s look is getting her a lot of attention and they want some. That’s how the industry works.
As far as her voice, she is not a classical singer, didn’t grow up in church singing like almost every African American singer claims. She does not have a traditional voice. She was just in her country singing Mariah Carey songs like millions of girls in the Caribbean, and wishing to be a superstar here in America. Lucky for her, something about her draws people to her and her music. Let the girl be. She may not be the hottest thing here… but she is hot everywhere else in the world. Even in India.
Americans can be so damn hateful… no wonder this country is crumbling.

Some of you guys are so ignorant going by unfounded rumors. Janet has vertigo and one of the main symptoms is constant nausea and vomiting. What would you like her to do? Perform while she’s sick? Then y’all would complain she put on a weak show. Some people will complain and bash about anything and everything. And as far as her retiring, let her do her thing. I dont hear many people complaining about Tina Turner and telling her to sit down and it’s because her music is very rock inspired and rock fans always support their own no matter how old their get. But leave it to R&B and Hip Hop fans to bash an artist as soon as they hit their 30s telling them to hang it up. Only in those 2 genres I’ve noticed people can be so fickle and bandwagoning telling someone they need to retire. As long as that person still has a passion for their work, there’s nothing wrong with them continuing to do what they love. Besides, no one’s holding a gun to your heads making y’all listen to them since you think their so played out, so please shut the hell up with that tired nonsense.

so so so so so so so so tired of rihanna… i love my black sister though.. do ur thing…

I thought that FEFE comment in the intro about Rihanna was a low blow. I am not going to see that movie with Bey I’m not a fan of Etta James like that besides the only song I know by her is At Last which Christina A. sung well IMO. I like the fact that Rihanna is trying to write her songs too. Like someone else said 3 songs aren’t a lot but its a start. She has done a lot in 3yrs. I am looking foward to her new album as well. She does not have to be classified in one type of musical genre. I think so many people hate the fact that she is a hard worker and like someone else said she doesn’t have her parents there defending her when people talk about her. She can defend herself. She continue to post up at the top spot. ~Live YOUR Life~

LOVE ME SOME RIHANNA!!!!! HAPPY TO SEE SHE IS TAPPING INTO HER DIVERSE MUSICAL TALENTS. I AM NOT SOLD ON BEYONCE PORTRAYING ETTA JAMES. NOT TO BE NEGATIVE, BUT BEYONCE CANT HOLD A CANDLE TO ETTA VOCALLY. FAITH EVANS WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE FOR THE PART.

WHY IS BEYONCE PLAYING ETTA JAMES? SHE DON’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HER!

@69

You still in here trying to make a point? (Bye HATER)

I think Beyonce need to step out them musical movies because that seem like that only thing she really can do. I know she coming out with a thriller but you know homeboy is going to hold the WHOLE movie down. To me she need to stick with singing and dancing and just say the little bit she say in the commerical. As far a ri-ri do your thang girl get that money and brush them hater off. Janet you better get your ass back on that damn stage lol

RI RI IS DO-DO

CL can ya’ll put up a link of If I were a Boy by BC Jean. That’s the original writer of the song and performer.

I thought Beyonce did a decent job playing Deena. She wasn’t supposed to be the star in that movie…anyone who has seen the play knows that the movie is about Effie….not Deena. I also liked her role in Carmen…playing Etta could be a chance for to show her growth as an actress. see the movie before you say she can’t do it.
In case folks forgot, Halle was playing similar pretty girl roles (Boomerang, Strictly Business) before she showed her range in Losing Isaiah …and as for her looking like Etta….Denzel looks nothing like Malcom X but did a hell of a job playing him. and does anyone really think Angela Basset looks like Tina Turner?
Beyonce is a bad chick…one I would be proud to have my daughters look up to as a role model. Stay on her hustle, keep her bizness to herself, and loves her family…and when she performs……..You know you are in the presence of a true Superstar. Why the hate? Bey aint checking for Rihanna….she was the highest paid pop star…making over 80 million last year. There wasn’t even another black face on the list…She is on the list with rock royalty…The Police, Genesis, Madonna…these are icons…folks who been in the business almost as long as Ms Knowles been alive…come on yall….recognize the star power…all the other chicks in the game should take a page from the Beyonce handbook on how to build the brand….

you all need to realize that the reason rihanna came out with music of the sun and the reggae influence is because she was from Barbados. People automatically assumed that when you are from the islands you should be in the genre of reggae music, or soca. Hence the record label concentrating on making her first album represent her island roots. Maybe the girl really wanted to go in another direction. Not because you are from the islands mean you have to be pigeon holed into one type or style of music. I doubt she has forgotten where she is from. Sometimes she still collaborate with some of the reggae artists but those songs are not being played in the US market just in the islands. To be an artist that succeeds, you have to reach a wide audience. She has succeeded in doing so with the type of music she is putting out now. The girl is in control of her future and she should decide which direction or path she wishes to take. I for one wish her the best .

for alena, you must be white, because britney spears wouldn’t have a career if she didn’t bite from janet, the choreography, the music all replicate janet….and she’s so freaked out on drugs…thats her publicity right, there she has a horribly engineered voice on record….she lost her kids, been in rehab…have u heard any of this from rihanna?….think before you comment…..britney is trailer park trash….is that where u live too?

It’s funny that people are deciding not to see this movie just because Beyonce is in it. That’s some strong hate dude. I mean the movie has been the talk for awhile now it’s not just her Gabrielle Union, Cedric The Entertainer, Mos Def, Adrien Brody… I mean a bunch of great artists are gonna be in it. Don’t be childish yall. Help CELEBRATE black music as it gets its fair publicity with the recent boom of “motown-esque” biopics.

Janet really gave a great show in Los Angeles September 17th at the Staples Center. And it was a very packed show. She still has it … I wish her a speedy recovery so she can share her talent with her fans once again. I know she works hard and it can be a lot of stress on the body. Its even harder as you get older.

As for Ri Ri, I hope she does well. I’m glad she is going to pen some of her own material. I know its not a lot, but its a start in show her confidence as a song writer.

As for Cadillac Records, seems like it may cool. Hopefully the screenplay is very well written.Seems like a good cast.

First off Rihanna and Beyonce are 2 different types of artist.. I like Rihanna and Beyonce..

Rihanna is sorta unique she is not going to go too rock because she may lose her fan base i believe her next album will be pop with a little rock influence.. I feel she is just in the business to make hits not really express total creativity.. But what she is doing is making her money so she better use this bad girl image up before ppl get tired of it and move on to the next star..

Beyonce is not unique but she is a great performer and mediocore actress.. cadillac records will do okay in the box office.. I do believe that rihanna is more appeling now than beyonce is but thats life there will always be some one younger, cuter, dress nicer etc than u.

Janet better be in Houston OCT 21…..that’s all I’m saying

They really wish RIhanna was white dont they? The pic says it all….

riri vs beyonce..Riri is doing her thing right now but somehow i have a feeling she is going to fade away.. white folks may like her right now but trust me these white people will be the same who will spit her out fast..They will always be true to their own kind.. classic example britney..the chick was crazy, put out a crapy single but it did well because white people love this girl and aint nothing that is going to stop them.. i do not have a problem with taking her career into a different direction but she must not concentrate in one area because us black also buy her music contrary to popular belief and when shit hits the fan it is going to be difficult to turn back..Some how i feel like people are using her as the business and not her doing the business and that is dangerous..Beee on the hand has not changed much and is sticking to what she knows which a lot of people are finding boring when comparing to riri..the dif is that bebe is handling the business and not the business handling her…Beyonce does not concentrate in one are and makes music that all people will like and will last…for exmple distubia.. was nice for a couple of days but now i cannot stand it but i can still listen to crazy in love even today..the problem with making one week hits is that people will love them today but tommorrow they hate them and move onto the next…People who have control over the business know this unlike people who are the business and that for me is the main diff…On rir’s new album one person said she better nail it for everyone or else her short lived career is gone..The girl was nearly broke and that should say something…I like her but somehow i feel she is having to much fun being used and confusing it for success…
