Oh LORD! Stop with the Fefe Dobson sympathy card. Dayum I sick of hearing it. Fefe is more Kelis if anything. If the fans ain’t feeling it then the label ain’t loving it. It ian’t Rihanna’s fault.

I want to see Cadilac Records when it comes out on DVD. Seems like it might be pretty good. I bet the music is nice.

Janet Janet Janet…hhhmmmmm

SO GLAD THEY FINALLY STARTIN TO PROMOTE THE CADILLAC RECORDS MOVIE, HOPEFULLY IT COMES OUT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!

RIHANNA AND HER ROCK ALBUM-GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

NANET-I LOVE YOU, WISH I COULD SEE ONE OF YOUR SHOWS..

excuse the typos, I am working over here!

AND DELUDED AS SANDRA ROSE!!!

Damn Janet…what’s wrong? She shouldn’t have did the tour if she now has a case of VERTIGO (?) anyways, hope you get better Ms. Jackson!!!

Rihanna, I wish her success with her next album, I’m a fan of her style and SOME of her dance tracks so yea, she going in the right direction…Disturbia should’ve been the first single for the new album tho…I’m still playing on my Ipod.

Cad-records…I’ll wait for the DVD too. Time’s are tight and I Don’t have money to spend on a film I haven’t even seen a trailer for, let alone anything else.

I will not see this movie in the theaters, Cadillac Records that is, but I will watch once it hits the cable circuit! As for Rihanna, everyone knows who’s style she jacked! They (the record company) feels that she does the “being a black chick who does punk music” better than FEFE does. Same thing happened to Amerie. She came out with the short shorts in her first video. looking very easy breezy beautiful cover girl…remember she was with Columbia…wait she still is..anyway, fastforward some years later, and Beyonce comes out with her solo CD and her first video has her with the easy breezy look, walking outside in short shorts. Clearly these record execs make mistakes, but they do not make them twice!!!

All I am saying is give them some credit sometimes…they are the ones making the bigger paychecks anyway!

And for the record I like Fefe and I think she is talented but there are a lot of talented artists that don’t get any shine. Life ain’t fair!

What do you suggest Janet do, show up at the concert sick and then pass out; the fans will get over it. I didn’t think RiRi last CD was all that R&Bish. The movie really doesn’t look like it will be that good, her co-stars are not even that popular and I don’t even know the black guy.

The ONLY thing I can imagine Janet being is…pregnant perhaps?? She’s been wanting to have kids for a while now, and she isn’t getting any younger. The timing isn’t the best, however. This tour was supposed to have been really good. Even at 42 she can still tear it down!!!!!

@4, who u talkin about?

Rihanna works hard. She’s not the greatest singer, but she knows how to make great POP records, that’s why them white folks buy her music. Kinda like a black Britney, minus all the drama.

——–I don’t think I’ll be seeing “Cadillac Recods”, I’m sick to death of the whole Moto-
——–wn era 60’s music.

——–Its the same storyline everytime an artists is about to release a new album.
——–they talk about growth & how this album is gonna be so much different from the
——–last. It’s complete bullshyt. I’m sure Rihanna’s next album will be trash as well.

The Black guy is Jeffery Wright he has been in a lot of movies - Lackawana Blues, Shaft with Samuel L Jackson, Miracle at St. Anna, he is Colin Powell in the W., he was Martin Luther King, Jr, in one of the most recent movies. He is a very good actor. He doesn’t get his due but he is very good at what he does.

Definitely will placing an order for the Cadillac soundtrack.

Rihanna: She needs to sit her azz DOWN somewhere and get some vocal and dance lessons . Enough of her constant Fefe Dobson ripping offs

Oh rihanna, you must be sooo proud of yourself! Three tracks! Way to be unique :p.

YEA WATEVER @ ONCE AGAIN!!!!

BEYONCE DID’NT COPY NO DAMN AMERIE…. ANYBODY CAN WEAR SOME SHORT SHORTS….. GET REAL…. THATS THE MOST LAME THING I HAVE EVER HEARD…

Janet: wish her speedy recovery

@14

THANK YOU!!!!!! I didn’t know Amerie had exclusive rights to wear short shorts. The things some of these haters come up with are so damn ridiculous

lol I don’t think I will be interested in Cadillac Records film. Although I love Adrien Brody and Jefferey Wright as actors. Oh yeah I hope Bey’s acting improved

Rihanna not a fan but admire the girl’s tenacious attitude.

Well I hope my girl Janet can continue the tour it will be upsetting to hear that she has to cancel all tour dates.

……….Can’t wait for the movie. And not jus becuz beyonce is in it…but it has an all
star cast. Well Im lyin…it’s becuz of beyonce. I jus miss her talent. Hope she
does well in the movie. Everyone says she did.

………..I’m kinda excited about riri’s new album…but she will have to BRING IT becuz
Umbrella was huge.

………..And yeah Im thinkin JJ is preggers.

I agree with #9 and#1. This is a music business and Rihanna’s doing her thing, Cant argue with that. this whole Fefe thing is old, i dont here her coming out with a statement complainin, heck, I ddnt know who she was until CL made a post about her with Christina Milian. She could tap a lot of genres and make it work IMO. Breakin dishes, live your life, tide is high, disturbia, sos whatever. I dunno

when’s beyonces film out in the UK. It would b good to see her do an Alicia keys in Smokin Aces type thing something not associated to just 60’s black music but that may b her niche. *i dunno

Get well soon JJ. I hope she gets better, this illness doesnt sound too good at all.

and the saga continues…..

I’m psyched about Rih’s new cd. It will be hot if she goes through with the techno/rock sound.

Cadillac Records is not looking that interesting to me. Maybe it will look better when the trailer comes out…

*****I will NOT be seeing Caddy Records and I stans for Bee but nope

*******Rihanna I guess I see she is going to stick with the GGGB formula she has
********nothing else to tap into?

*****JJ get well

llll will be going to see Cadillac Records.. The movie will be hot, and for those of you hating on Bee.. Cut it out.. At least you will be thoroughly entertained.. You don’t go see movies BECAUSE of the popularity of the people.. That is so dumb.. You go to be INSPIRIED, or to SEE A STORY BE TOLD….

GET IT BEE.. ADRIAN BRODY OSCAR WINNER. JEFFREY WRIGHT- OSCAR NOMINEE

……….@ SIGH, I kinda agree…all motown movies seem to have the same story line,
………..but since I love BEYONCE, I’ll go see it. And also becuz there are alot of
……….good actors in the movie.

……….BTW…The cover looks neat. That really caught my eye.

………..And as many ppl that said Beyonce needs to sit down….ummm I like rir, but
……….she come out with an album every year since 2005. And like I said’ she will
……… have to bring it.

I want another REAL Rihanna album, I still dont understand how she went from raggae to rock in a period of 3 years, but if this whole rock vibe is who she really is she needs to stick with it, and not switch over again in a few years.

Beyonce seems to be insisting on getting an oscar cuz normally such BORING movies do get nominated…get over it hun!!

Rihanna is too ambitious. She’s going to write 3 whole songs !!?!!
OMG!!
She’s unstoppable with her talent. 3 entire songs Rih Rih!!

Never heard of Jeffrey Wright? What’s he been in before?

Looks like an interesting film.

I almost did not recognize Jeffrey Wright, he is a damn good actor, Love him.
Damn J.J. hope u feel better !!

CADILLAC RECORDS..HMMM LIKE THE NAME LOL..Looove me some OlSkool Cadi’s…..Beyonce…i miss her…i cant believe it…lol..

Rihanna…wow…lol…I liked her reggae carribean sound alot better before the so called “BAD GIRL” image….but if the white folks love it…make that money then. Pimpem..lol…Because most rock singers dont sing anyway they yell shout and scream. The world knows it and it seems Miss RiRi is findin this out as well. That to sing music like R&B you actually have to have a SINGING VOICE which comes form the soul and heart to make true, real and GOOD R&B music. Having looks alone&dressing high fashion is not enough for real R&B music fans…….

IMAGE OVER TALENT IS HOW THE INDUSTRY IS OPERATING RIGH NOW…so yeah…
Rock On Miss Sunshine.

Janet=LMAO plz give it a rest chile.

And why won’t Rihanna just gives a break??
Can’t she just go somewhere for like 15 years and then maybe comeback with that album…cuz we ain’t ready for her at ALL…..all over the tv, all over the radio & all over the internet….just SHOOT ME

……………..BTW, Did anyone see Beyonce on the cover of ESSENCE..WOW
…………….that woman is beautiful.

…………….BEYONCE IS BACK…YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

how do you study a look? lol
Rihanna’s album was horrible by the way, so she needs to do something quick fast to keep herself popular and make Jay-z happy.
Beyonce needed to gain some more weight to be etta james.
Very overrated people these two

@25, I gotta slight feeling she will go back to her original sound somewhere down the line.

It’s strange how everyone saw her as a one hit wonder back in ‘05 with Pon De Replay (which was a hot song, dont pretend ya didnt like it!!!), and then kept coming back with even bigger hits. SOS and Unfaithful in ‘06, then Umbrella and the Ne-Yo duet last year, and this year Take A Bow and Disturbia. The girl’s a hitmaker.

I think that Beyonce is only being considered for these movies because she is a singer, this new movie is just a repeat of Dreamgirls and she weren’t the lead. I think she should stick to singing, that’s her job.

JANET! just tell us what it is, bc all of this just backs up the pregnancy rumors. I love her but IM never missing work for HER tour, geez.

****Speak on it Corey I love Rihanna when she firsdt came out reagge and all but then
*******she flipped the script and that’s when I couldn’t get with her anymore.
******I enjoyed some of her singles but that is all. She is doing her thing tho

As much as I stan over Beyonce (y’all should already know) I am not excited at all about the movie. Hell yes I’m going to see it but I’m not hype at all. Dreamgirls was whack as hell, I tried watching it a second time and I was near death. Hopefully this is a lot better than that. However, I am excited about her movie with Idris, now THAT is something to look forward too.

Rihanna..please. I honestly don’t see why people are so into her. I know y’all are just thinking because I am a Beyonce fan is the reason why I don’t like Rihanna which is completely FALSE. I actually DID like Rihanna but she is gradually changing. I used to think she was this soft, genuine person, but now she’s giving this rude, hardcore Im-so-hot girl look and I don’t like it. She started off with reggae and look where she is now. Trying to appeal to the white crowd. It is good to be different but I think she’s over exaggerating. She knows damn well this is not who she really is..it comes acrss as FAKE to me. BTW..I thought this was like her 2cnd album. I guess not.

well you know what I TAKE BACK A LIL OF WHAT I SAID…THERE ARE SOME ROCK SINGERS THAT ACTUALLY CAN SING…But with that genre of music having a voice isnt really accountable ..

****@ 32 yes I saw the cover photoshopped and all but I loves me some BEE

*****I can’t wait for that cd

Cadillac Records looks interesting. Adrien Brody is a pretty good actor. “The Pianist” was the shit.

Rihanna is pushing out these albums pretty quickly. 4 albums in 5 years plus a re-release of one of them. I guess…whatever to keep you relevant. I agree with others….I miss the reggae Rihanna a little bit.

Janet just keep real with us and admit you arent selling tickets like you use to and your to embrassed to show up to 20,000 seat arenas with on 3,000 people in attendance. Who you trying to fool?

rihanna know them songs she writing either won’t make the album…or they won’t allow her to release them…let’s keep it real..rihanna is only a canvas to her stylist..
MOVING RIGHT ALONG…i heard janet was pregnant

It is a WRAP for Janet Jackson and the Entire Jackson’s Family including our beloved, Michael.

KIA CARTER…THE MUSIC BUIS RIGH NOW IS TRYING TO CHANGE ALL OF OUR SISTERS INTO WHITE….ITS NO0o0oO DIFFERENT THEN BACK THEN…

Most Black women werent allowed to rock there own hair which is why most black singers back in the day rocked STR8 HAIRED WIGS OR RELAXERS TO LOOK MORE WHITE. The Media uses most BLACKS for there talent or ability to draw in an audience which speaks DOLLAR SIGNS. SOO
BASICALLY all Rihanna is doing is being a puppet, and thinking about MONEY.

and having a predominately WHITE AUDIENCE is where all the money will come in at because they feel most BLACKS BOOTLEG music which unfortunately, most do.

There are some ignorant folks on ths blog…. GO ON IMDB.COM there is a list of famous actors starring in Cadillac Records not just BEYONCE…don’t be fooled by the the poster. I hope Bey actings have improved she a matured in the business I believe her music & movies will do very well
_ Rih I sure hope this has taken some SINGING LESSONS she needs some VOCAL TRAINING cause her performance live are HORRIBLE !!!! Nobody wants to listen to another album of her disgusting goat hurdling voice. the only major hit she ever had was Umbrella
-Janet I wish her all the best,it’s time for her to hang it up now.. go make kids & get married again!!!… she needs to retire already !

Get well soon Janet!!! I had tickets for the show in Atlanta on the 5th but the show was postponed until the 19th. Yeah, I was a little sad I didnt get to see her Sunday, but I’d rather see her at her best than to have her giving a half-assed show. Hopefully she will be feeling much better in a couple of weeks

Can’t wait for Cadillac Records to hit the screen! I am so excited for this new era! Loves it! The album cover looks great!

Oh yeah, Beyonce looks fabulous as Etta James!

My thing is this…Janet, if you are pregnant then that is good. But stop your foolishness and cancel the damn tour. I am a huge Janet fan and I was suppose to see the show in Detroit but then she cancelled it. It was rescheduled for Oct 28th but if she cancels that one too then I am going to have to be done with her. I paid $145 my ticket and I could for sure use that money for something else. So far 7 shows have been cancelled! Ridiculous!!!!!!!

cnt wait 4 the movie-BEEN WAITIN 4EVER!, Beyonce finna b n her album/movie promoting mode again (rmbd bday & dreamgirls?) GO HEAD BEYONCE — I LUV HER!, Janet baby, I am hopin u pregnant (its sadd people aint gettin 2 see the show) BECAUSE IT IS FANTASTIC (I saw n Diego) BUT I wnt u 2 hav a baby, haha GET BETTR LOVE — Rihanna?!? ummmmmm, I luv her, but I jst hate how people act like she soooo great & :changin the scene:she aint doin nuthin Kelis, Fefe, Kelly (list goes on) did…she jst got tht accent & it makes her a lil dfrnt, BUT watever, go 4 it girl, the white people luv ya & thts all u need-MILEY CIRUS (hint hint) hahahaha…

janet is at home getting rest like she should have been instead of trying to please us fans because your health comes first.she was seen throwing up at the greensboro arena.but she will be ready to go this saturday so watch out haterz because god will show out thru janet that he always has the last say so be careful how you talk negative about jj.

as for beyonce i hear you mrs carter

Damn its amazin how ppl can see the whole movie only by the soundtrack CD cover, wow you folks didnt even see the trailer, the promotion and all and you’re already talking bad, I mean, please, this movie is going to be interesting, it’s based on real facts and those actors are very good, Adrien Brody won an oscar for the pianist, Beyoncé is the shit y’all know that and Im sure she killed that Etta James role, if you’re not excited to see Beyoncé playing a (crackhead) drug addict, well, I am. Im so sure the same ppl are going to take their asses in the theatres to see it SMH, we’ll be all there when it will get the oscars and golden globe nominations, wait you’ll see, I cant wait.
Concerning Rihanna, I wont lie, she ha good music, I just cant stand her ass as an artist and live performer,

I guess Beyonce thinks this movie will get her that Oscar that she desperately wants. Please. What makes her think she is so deserving of one. She can’t act. She will never be in the same league as Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep or Angela Bassett. She is hired because her fan base can help sell tickets. It is simple as that. She needs to get over herself and just stick to making music.

Rihanna is the current “it girl” of the moment. This image over talent thing in the music industry is getting insane.

I think Janet Jackson is pregnant.

Rhianna is more true to black artitist. One of the great things about black artisist was our diversity and now everyone tries to look and sound alike. All the videos are the exact same. She bust out of that box and now everyone whether you so call stans ( I call you psychos) want to believe it or not everyone is trying to look more edgy like her. She is an example of what a black artisist use to be like. NO she is not the best singer, but, she is just trying to be her.

Now all of sudden Beyonce is trying to be edgy and trying to look to me like Rhianna.

bey looks like faith in that pic……..i HOPE janet is pregnant

Beyonce’s acting is just too robotic to me. Maybe she needs Sasha when she’s in the movies.

i miss Rihanna’s reggae too. But I kinda like the rock too. THe song with Maroon 5 was bangin.

I was saying she has good music but artiscally speaking, I have the feeling that this girl is a huge joke and fake, she is not a bad girl, even though she always gives a mean look to the paparazis, she is just a marketing product, her real vocation is modeling, she is pretty and got a good stylist PERIOD
I feel you too Brian on Fefe

Janet I hope she gets well and she is pregnant, seriously, I hate to talk about the personal things but damn, ITS ABOUT TIME she is 42, and JD should marry her now!

I can respect Rihanna for hustling by herself, she doesnt have her father or alot of people around her to shelter her. Rihanna is playing her cards right, she has great style, personality, and interesting songs…..she may not sing well or perform live but she has reached heights for only being in the industry for 3 yrs. Kiesha, Ashanti, Ciara, and Christina are still trying to get to where Rihanna is and they have been out a longer time. I respect that she is writing her own music, 3 songs isnt much but its a start…..at least she is not telling people she wrote songs that she didnt write and taking credit for it and winning writing awards for someone elses work. Rihanna has time to be great.
Im not a huge fan but I reconize that she has potential, and white people love her especially in Europe…..we all know that blacks are not buying music that much!

I’m not even going to waste my time reading these comments, all I’m going to read is a bunch of rants by a bunch of women who are insanely jealous of Rhianna.

I wonder if janet really got a rib removed and if thats why shes ill or if she preg…beyonce has to bring it, this is her last chance to claim the actress card. yeah okay ri sigh.

RIHANNA IS NOT A BLACK BRITNEY. rihanna is a poser. Britney is an icon and Legend and will clearly smash rihanna in a second. Look at “womanizer” it came out today and its number one ALL READY. britney albums always sells even Blackout had no promotion but sold more than GGB and GGBR together. I’m sick and tired of hearing rihanna being the black britney spears. Britney actually has talent she a better dancer,performer, and seems more real than rihanna. Lets not forget she can actually write and sing her own songs. AND THE VMAS 2007 Doesn’t COUNT. Britney was used, she’s the only reason why people watch VMA. rihanna was even lucky she got to open the show. anyway statistics would show that rihanna is not even close to The PRINCESS OF POP Level. so lets stop this assumption now. riri copied fefe face it why is this girl still relevant. Oh yeah sex sells.

*****@ Kenny
*********Beyonce talent has keep her where is she and not her FATHER. That killls *******me when people say things like that. She is on the stage performing not her ********dad and that what keeps people interested in her. I think it is great that she
********has a strong family unit keep her grounded. Rihanna is doing her thing she
********realized that what she was doing wasn’t working and switched it up.
*********Now if she can only get her vocals better she would be a huge star.

THANK YOU CONCRETELOOP FOR POSTING A COMPLETE FAKE RIHANNA INTERVIEW THAT CAME FROM WIKIPEDIA
RIHANNA DID NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION ON HER NEW ALBUM OTHER THAN SHE BE WORKING WITH BRYAN TEDDER FROM ONE REPUBLIC AND SINEAD O’CONNOR THE GIRL WHO SANG NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU BACK IN THE 90′S
SHE DID NOT GIVE ANY MORE INFORMATION

@41 8Baller

Who you fooling? Janet was having a packed house everynight and two sold out shows before she got sick…..so I advise you to get your facts straight before you start spewing your “hatorade.”

Janet, get well soon…and show them how you do it!!

go beeeeeey, i’ll be seeing that movie.
rihanna needs to sit her non talented ass down. she makes me sick
get well janet

@Dame

I kept my comment generic because I didnt want to mention names because this will turn into B vs R and thats stupid. Beyonce isnt the only one with her daddy around, Ashanti and Ciara’s parents are involved in their careers…My point was to say that she doesnt have that support around her like Beyonce, Ashanti, or Ciara…..Rihanna’s family lives in Barbados so she is doing this career thing by herself. They all get on stages by themselves thats common sense but Rihanna doesnt have family heavily involved in her career…..so even though she is not the best she is trying. Stop defending Beyonce nobody was or is putting her down, chill out!

@Alena
Britney kills it! Britney may lip sync but her dance moves and performances are on point. Rihanna and Brit are in two different lanes, why cant people just accept that.

@Dame
If her vocals were on point she would have not problem, but until then…….
I just need more energy from her on stage, if she doesnt sing live I atl east need her to dance her ass off.

@64

Take off your stan hat and have a seat.
Yeah, Janet sold out two concerts, but it has also been reported that more than a couple cities she was suppose to go to within the next couple of weeks werent selling. The show that was suppose to happen in Philadelphia was below expectations as far as ticket sells.
And now that the concert dates for those other venues that arent selling are coming up, she all of sudden gets ill???
PLEASE!!!
Like I said, who she trying to fool?

WTF?!? RIHANNA WILL NEVA BE BRITNEY. LEARN IT PEOPLE!!

@ Kenny

Point taken and Rihanna is doing her thing

@Kenny

Yall she can’t sing but people drawn to her I even have a few singles. On stage is not good at all maybe her next cd she will step her game up.

Beyonce old tired ass is really trying to redeem her ass from that awful Dreamgirls performance. Too bad, Jhud stole her thunder. SMDH. She looks like she’s about 45 in that wig, and not because she’s playing Etta James, but because her ass is just Dusty OLD. lol

Rihanna is killin’ Beyonce…outsold her and looking hot and fierce and YOUNG and stylish. Beyonce sit your old dusty ass down! Join Janet Jackson in the has been hall of fame. You been rode hard and put away wet by the camel and you look tired bish..so >>>>

#53 YOU DO REALISE THAT ANGELA BASSETT, AS GREAT AN ACTRESS(ACTOR) SHE IS, DOES NOT HAVE AN OSCAR! THAT IS ONE OF THE REASON WHY I FELT THE “GAVE” JENNIFER HUDSON THE OSCAR, I REALLY DIDN’T FEEL AS IF ANY OF THE CAST OF DREAMGIRLS DESERVED AN OSCAR FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES. WELL I TAKE THAT BACK, I FELT LIKE IF ANY OF THEM WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN AWARD IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EDDIE MURPHEY OR JAMIE FOXX.

LET ME SEE NOW, RIHANNA IS WORKING ON #4 BEYONCE IS DOING #3, AND PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY SAYING BEYONCE NEED TO SIT DOWN, WHERE IS THE LOGIC?

I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS MISTAKEN RIHANNA FOR PRINCE LATELY?

I hope Jeffry Wright gets his just due. He is a fabulous actor….he is rarely the same character twice unlike some of our Hollywood heavy hitters. Marvelous actor….

I think Bee may step up her game a lil, this movie will be interesting

Brody is great at what he does also….

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…
