Beyonce has improved , I never doubted beyonce acting skills and I always hate when people say she can’t act or she will never be able to act . Everyones capable of acting and improving themselves especially when you have the money , also to add if beyonce was going to stop acting she would have done it a long time ago (lol) like fighting temptations but seriously Beyonce is a hard worker and she can only go up because down is just not an option also beyonce she doesn’t have that far to go down .

Don’t people know beyonce is not the star of the damn movie. She’s not even in it that long. They using her 2 hype it up so ppl wud c it. Damn ppl give it a rest. If u don’t like her acting fine don’t c the damn movie. If u don’t like her singing don’t buy or download the album. Y waste time hating on someone?

OK first of all this clip was two minutes and ftfty seven seconds and she sang through most of it so how could u determine if she could act or not? Yes we all know that she could sing and I love Beyonce but I really do think that she should give the singing movies a rest and honesty for people to say that she will never when an Oscar, you will look mighty stupid if she does. Im definetley goin to see the movie and I think she will do good. And how could her dad pay critics to say that she did good? C’mon people I’m only 12 and I have more sense! People put too much emphasis on things……….. it’s just a movie.

If Beyonce cared about black actresses she wouldn’t steal roles that they could play! She should know how hard it is for black women in hollywood so she should have the dignity to let a talented actress shine, but no she’s too SELFISH for that!

Someone needs to tell this girl that she cannot do everything! I bet she will end up like Jennifer Lopez who was once upon a time the “It girl” in Hwood but is now B-listed!

beyonce still sounds like beyonce.

etta’s voice has this raw and deep soul that beyonce obviously can’t imitate.

not so excited about the movie anymore…but i’ll still go see it.

I like the double of him by the shower wall and the one where he pulls and show his boxers.

I like the double of him by the shower wall and the one where he pulls and show his boxers a bit.

“rolling stones and beatles who stole all the black music” Your a racist moron JSCENE!

Me no likey stans is a loser!

I like Beyonce because she works hard.

The Academy owes Jeffrey Wright so many Oscars. He is the best. He transforms himself in all of his roles. I actually that he was a “true” latino in the movie Shaft. I did not know it was him until the credits rolled. Dang, he’s good.

backup haters, she has a right to act in the movie. She’s the executive producer she signs the cheques. as Gabriel Unions says, ” She love beyonce because her cheque was cleared” She’s also the executive producer for Obsessed

I’m sure with great actors like Jeffery Wright and others in this movie, THEY are the ones actually “carrying” it. Beyonce is just along for the ride acting wise just as she was in Dreamgirls. However, I do believe she sang the hell out of this particular song.

Are those the only roles Beyonce can do? Ones where she is portraying a famous singer? Where is the versatility?

@^^^^^^^^^^^^^^When OBSESSED comes out in febuary, thats when versatility comes

damn look at my girl beyonce aka etta James she did a wonderful job I can’t wait to see this movie I am so freakin excited I love BEYONCE DO U HATERZ FALL BAQ she can too Act n I love hea movies n I will mos def go n see it & support Any n errthang she do regardless of what yall haterz gotta to say n she iz workin dat suit n she rockin dat ponytail. BEYONCE NUMBA 1 FAN 4 LIFE

That waz a nice clip she can definetly sing …. n her acting skills surely are improving … i think that she is a gotta n i love that about her !!

Do ur thing bee!!!

Just because you sign a check don’t mean you can do the job, anyway I will give bey her what 4th, 5th, 6th chance, I lost count.

Can’t act nuff said. And she sure in the hell won’t be nominated for an Oscar.

Do that………………………….. MRS. CARTER!!!!!!!

How much is it to post? Since my post often end up in collections.

IMO she sung this song much better than she did At last! i felt the emotion in this, like my man( if i had one ) really was leaving me!!

151, that last sentence is a revolving door, it reads like a smack in the face, unless you are saying shes just getting her feet wet.

I LOVE U BEYONCE GISSELLE KNOWLES CARTER!!!!!!!!!!!

Beyonce should do porn with that juicy camel toe. I’d watch it.

#162 I thought he was puerto rican in Shaft, I was like dang I need to get me one those he had it going it on in the movie.

NOPE! SHE STILL CANT ACT- SHE DEF SANG WITH EMOTION BUT ACTING? What did she do? She will NEVER be able to act- she doesnt have life experience or talent to pull it off! Keep on singing- stop trying to buy up all the damn film roles!

DRY

DRY

Well, the singing was great as usual. Her acting is improving, but she needs to dig a bit deeper. But I am still looking to see the rest of the film.

MOMO U R SO… RIGHT!!! I will boycott and pickett etc… if she ever gets nominated with this no talent that she has! BTW Bey stans! She payed for the role! She is exec producer- bought the movie so… there u have it- why she is playing Etta!

“`The BET J Awards are on now“`

Me No Likey Stans is telling the truth. I will not say that Beyonce does not care about black actresses, but I will say that she like many others on this board are ignorant to the struggle of black actresses. How would singers like it if just anyone could come along when they felt like it and sang a song without an respect for their craft. I love Beyonce, but we need to understand why black women are grossly under represented in Hollywood. Why? We keep giving parts to the same two black women, and then wonder why there’s little or no star power. This role should have gone to an unknown. Now, you want to talk about how white actors keeping star power within certain circles..okay. Nikki Blanki (excuse the spelling) was an unknown, and she acted in Hair. Then, she began to get other acting jobs, but she started as an unknown. If we continue to allow Beyonce, and other people who are already famous to play every role designed for black women, well, how will unknown black women who are true to their craft make a living?

She CAN NOT act and she sound terrible doing that song. She should stick to ‘Put A Ring On It’.

Beyonce is incredible……. I cannot wait to see this movie.
She works sooo hard….get that money girl. Even if she doesnt win an award its truly not even about that(sells awards money and fame)Those things dont validate who you are …material things have no value towards honor…and her fans truly honor her work….and thats priceless. And I hope thats more of value to B then anything

@178..boycott…pickett…ru that lame?? do you really have nothing esle to do with your life…or is there nothing esle more important going in and around the world that you cant get involve in besides lettin the world know your a Beyonce hater or that you maybe obssessed with seeing her fall?
Why do some people choose to be loosers and hate on the winners??

Well if that don’t validate anything then her dad would not have expected her to sell 750k-1m first week sells. Also, Beyonce is normally the first one to say how many records she has sold, how many awards she has and so on.. Her stans always come with how many covers she has been what Forbes list she has been on and such. Beyonce is very materialistic maybe you are one of her fans who don’t care about that.

She is always getting better!

Beyonce is a singer and I cannot recall her claiming to be an actress. The producers know that she has more box office appeal than many other lesser known, but probably better, black actresses i.e folks will pay to see Beyone - that’s why she got the part. Its not all show - there is also the matter of business. If great acting was the one and only concern , then Merril Streep would have been a better choice . Good to see a black woman stepping up and getting her share instead of sitting in the backgound complaining.

For her to be convincing she needs to do a non-singing role and get intense acting lessons, this sh** is nothing, anybody can play Etta. This movie isn’t soley about Etta they way i’ts hyped up to be, it’s no “Lady Sings the Blues” that’s for sure!!

NEXT!!

She’ll never win an Oscar, I mean stans still haven’t learned their lesson, ummmDreamgirls anyone LOL, ummm she was supposed to beat B’days sales opening week…ummmmmmm womp womp womp LOL…same thing, go on and hold your breath waiting for beyonce to win an oscae bwahahahaaaaaaa! no way people. The Oscar is a serious serious award..JHUD was much better than beyonce can ever dream to be in Dreamgirls. Jennifer, no matter how much she portrayed the angry black woman, she was believable.. Beyonce is seriously not believable as an actress..she is very fake and comes across like she it “acting” on screen, its supposed to be natural and you are supposed to believe the character is authentic, beyonce looks like beyonce in a wig playing etta james, you never get lost in her performance, she just doesn’t have the chops. Matthew Knowles can’t buy her an icon status and surely can’t buy her an oscar. She’ll never win one simply because of this juevenille campaign she’s been going on talking about winning an oscar before 30, no serious actor who knows a dime’s worth about the movie business would ever utter such foolishness…its the kiss of death to her chances of ever winning. To top it off, she can’t act, womp womp womp. Sit down beyonce, just watch Gabby get the nomination! LOL

#93…I loved your comment…everything you said was sooo true…

Beyonce sucks as an actress, what else is new.

the movie is no good, beyonce is really not even close to being a serious actor, she needs to just leave that to the pro’s. she is marginally talented as a singer, and not even great at that. she really only got this part because they figured she could probably get some a$$ in the seats at the theaters. stupid stans will line up to see it and praise an unworthy performance by this overrated ditzy broad. no thanks yawnce, you are no type of actor. go away.

@ MoMo # 71….I honestly agree 100% because you’ve really made valid points. Beyonce plays it safe with the roles that involves her singing. This movie is about Etta but I hear ‘Beyonce’ all up and thru it. The sole purpose of playing a role is for the audience to actually believe you are that character that you’re portraying. I shouldn’t look at the screen and ’see’ Beyonce, I should see ‘Etta’ for that is the character she is trying to portray. And yeah if Whoopi, Angela, Diana, hell even Jenny from the block didn’t get one of them Oscars, the reality of it is Beyonce is dam sure not deserving of one even if she does a good job. She should just get a pat on the back and call it a day. So in other words she needs some epsom salt for that big ass head of hers cause its kinda on swoll. And the truth shall set you free…

She is obsessed with trying to prove to the world that she is the best at everything. She is really a jack of all trades and a master of none, this is her downfall, Beyonce is not a Good actress, not a great actress, not even an okay actress, the truth hurts but the truth is Diana Ross was a damn good actress, beyonce is so sub par it isn’t even funny. Being overly dramatic and crying at the drop of a dime, being a stereotypical drug addict singer is not going to cut it. She’s not doing anything that hasn’t already been done, and done better by others! this chick is just a manufactured idiot whose family gasses up her head to believe that she should be an ICON and an OSCAR winner, even though she isn’t worthy of it. I hope she retires soon because she is an embarrassment to black people. Begging to sing at the inauguration, begging to be an icon, begging for an oscar, this is how you can tell she’s not qualified for any of these lofty awards and accomplishments, Greatness does not need to self-promote. The people will bestow upon you status of an ICON without you trying to force them too, the oscar committe will bestow an oscar upon you if and when you prove yourself worthy. How DUMB of beyonce to say she wants an Oscar before 30…what if you don’t do a role worthy of one??? YOU still believe you should have one based on your age and ambition vs. it being based on your acting ability??? She is on DUMD @ss that should be kept from speaking in public. Home Schooled??? Yes it actually shows. Such a loser, beyonce.

i really don’t like her acting. sometimes you need to stick to what you know.

If beyonce wants to show that she can act, she needs to take roles other than her being a singer !!

Beyonce backlash is coming, she was built up to be much bigger than she really is and now people are tearing her down little by little. She is horrible in movies and this is no different. She really should stop trying to force feed the public her awful acting. I will not go see this movie because it is the same ol’ same ol’. Beyonce is a tacky, uneducated woman with no depth and no talent in the acting department. Her dad, if he truly was in her corner and not only in it for money would sit her down and tell her the truth. Her acting sucks. Holding a press conference when you have zero talent in acting is pointless. It won’t get you an Oscar, just wait for those nominations to be released, you have to be the biggest fool if you think Beyonce’s name will be on the list. I mean seriously people. Hollywood does not just give away Oscars to black people because someone says they were good in a movie (and beyonce was not good) it’s much more political. Beyonce is not causing the stir that JHUD caused and this movie will not garner half the attention that Dreamgirls did, its a wrap for Beyonce’s acting career. She is terrible.

You people are so funny…just cracking me up

FLAWLESS!! DANG BEYONCE IS PHENOMENAL.

Beyonce is the WORST singer turned actress. She is so bad I am LMAO @ that clip, just God AWFUL LMAO

Beyonce is just living out her dreams.

Check me out at http://mywordsnotyours.wordpress.com/

I’m trying to get my on blog too.

bey need to sit down, you stans are giving her praise for singing a damn song? puhlease, that’s not acting, thats just beyonce trying to damn hard to get an oscar when she can’t even act. sit down sasha you are a hot mess lol

Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce, lawd this girl will not accept the fact that acting is not for everyone. Singing and crying does not make one an actor. I am sure Etta was ROTFLMAO @ that clip, it really is not good.

HI HATERS! LMFAO. Haven’t seen the movie but STILL talking shit, lol. I’ll say one thing, y’all are some dedicated MoFo’s.

GET IT BEE!

Is this shizit a comedy??? because I am LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
looks very low budget, def. not oscar worthy and bey in that lopsided wig is just pure comedy LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

uhhhhhhhhh no thanks. hot garbage warmed over twice. beyonce is atrocious as an actor. Please spare us, and just quit while you’re ahead Ms. Knowles!! lol
No matter how much hype they try to drum up for this movie, it will be a flop and it damn sure isn’t any oscar worthy performances coming from beyonce.. maybe Gab Union or Adrienne Brody, but damn sure not beyonce, hells no lol

the suit she’s wearing looks like she’s headed to a job interview and the ponytail is just so freakin’ tired. Sheesh! Will this heffa get some real acing lessons or just stay from in front of the camera? How does she think she will get an oscar when she can’t even successfully pull off “Sasha Firerce” crap convincingly? This chick has a long way to go before anyone ever considers her a serious actress. Oscar? I don’t think so.

*acting* lessons

The movie was made by Sony BMG, that is Beyonce’s record company, that makes it easier for her to get roles. Also her new movie obsessed is produced by her father, who else would he put in the movie? She can sing but she is not that great of an actress. I know you stans love her, but actors don’t win Ocars for improving, they win for being amazing period. I’m sure Beyonce improved, but she is at the end of the movie, why would she get an oscar, even supporting actors have a bigger air time. I feel this would be like DreamGirls, they play her best scenes and they hype her up, and i get dissappointed. I will wait for more reviews, before I fully decide. Watching movies are quite expensive these days.

Where’s the real JSCENE & BEYONCEAINTALLTHAT?

I have never seen anything like this…this woman gets worse and worse with each performance ina movie…i mean the objective is to get better, you’re headed in the wrong direction beyonce… i would not be surprised if audiences throw tomatoes at the screen,,, she is really one of the worst wanna-be actresses, just really bad. don’t quit your day job sasha fierce!

Carmen- singing
Gold Member- singing
Fighting Temptations-singing
Pink Panther- singing
Dream Girls- Singing
Cadillac Records- singing

When her singing role ratio over powers her actual acting role. Then ill take her seriously. It seems forced but excueted okay. Give these big roles to REAL TALENT who ACTUALLY went to school and acted for YEARS! They deserve the part!

Bey, I love u girl, but acting is just not for you. Please stop it, you are making a fool of yourself. First you are running around with a split personality trying to be something you’re not, now you are trying to pretend your way into Oscarville. Just because JHUD got one, and she was barely known, does not mean you are destined to get one just because you’ve been in the singing game for 12 years. The difference is that JHUD can actually hold her own and it was a part that was made for her. She became Effie, you did not become Dena, just like you have not become Etta or anyone else you’ve played. You are always just beyonce in a wig. Girl, just stop it, you can’t have an Oscar just because you want one before you turn 30. Plus, isn’t it too late anyway? Gabby said you two have been friends since you were teens. It’s a bit late to get an Oscar before 30 because you know Gabby is like 36 so that means if you two were friends since teens, then you must be well into your thirties as well.
Just stick to singing and come out with your real age because everyone can see you are NOT 27, but we still love you, girl those laugh lines and beginning of crows feet by the eyes are telling your age. Just sing Bey, but leave acting alone because you are making yourself look really bad.

signed,

A Big Fan who doesn’t want to see you make a fool of yourself!
And lose the clownish blonde wig! Etta’s wig was not quite like that!

Personality………..I hate beyonce because i think that she is a fraud and she two faced. I am a die hard fan of wright and union. so i decided to go see it. through the first hour i was impressed with all the acting, but i thought to myself ummmmmmm but where is that wow performance, and then the door opened and her comes BEYAWNCEE in a etta james wig. she laid on the bed with a sassy attitude and went into the bathroom and sung her ass off. i was NOT impressed at all. i was thinking here comes another beyonce movie. This is noooooooooo beyonce movie and I have to say beyonce is officially and actor, nay actress. not giving spoilers but she shocked the hell out of me. i was so proud of beyonce because she pulled it off. Go see the movie…..you will be suprised.

She sounds good singing the song, but her voice does Etta James no justice to be honest and if you know anything about Etta’s voice she had a very deep undertone voice and Beyonce has a more high pitched voice. Not to say Beyonce didn’t sound great, but her part was portraying Etta. Anyways people movie making now is all about business. The sad part about casting black actresses is that they are not bringing in enough money unless it’s like Queen Latifah. The movie business has gone down hill. BEyonce was chosen for this part simply because her camp funded some of this movie and because of her name. HEr acting coach should be fired because part of going into character is losing your actual Accent and she never succeeds in doing so which is why people don’t take her acting seriously. Her body language sucks too. Look at Halle in Dorothy Dandridge, Jamie in Ray, or Angela Bassett in Tina Turner. Those people transformed to a point where you forgot who they actually were in real life. Look at Jeffrey Wright who can do almost any character whether it be black, hispanic, nerdy, or mean. This movie was about money people.

I WILL WATCH THIS SH!T ON BOOTLEG. BUT I KNOW I WILL LISTEN TO THE CADILLAC RECORDS SOUNDTRACK BEFORE I LISTEN TO THE CRAP THAT IS “I AM…SASHA FIERCE!”

I AM NOT IMPRESSED ILL GIVE HER A LAST CHANCE CUZ THATS A TWO MINUTES CLIP

THE JSCENE WITH THE AVATAR PLEASE STOP THAT IMPOSTER WHY YOU DO THAT YOU BETTER STOP

Love Adrian Brody. Hopefully the movie won’t suck with Beyonce’s terrible acting skills.

@ #197 I CO-SIGN 100 PERCENT!!! I can’t see her lasting 20 plus years like Janet, and Janet didn’t bite or steal or copy or any of that, she is what an Icon is all about, hard work, determanation!!

camel face wants babies and shell do anything for the camel
she will be forced to slow down soon enough
take a nap beee
zzzz
trying to become jay z is not a good look, and diva is not another version of hustler,
who told u that?
take ur sasha fake lying wanna be street ass back to the burbs where u came from
notice how ’sasha’ speaks ebonics, dosnt that offend anyone its pretty offensive in my eyes to play such a stereotypical role and trying to sell it as street,,,shame on beyonce for promoting false images

and people work years and years at acting she makes 2 movies and a album in a year
overworking dosnt make u a icon and winning awards like someone mentioned dosnt make a icon
u want a oscar before your 30 well too bad,
just cause your name is beyonce and your use to getting whatever u want cause your a spoiled brat, I guess she will have to start to work a little harder as she gets older and can’t get by on her looks and being jay z girlfriend

She 1 bad singer in a good way….but 1 bad actress in a bad way
