Janet Jackson is about to be all up in Beyonce’s face:

Beyonce Knowles has infuriated Janet Jackson – by suggesting her family is lower class. The former Destiny’s Child singer said in a recent interview, “I grew up upper class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like The Jacksons.

“But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.” Knowles’ comments were not welcome – and Janet now plans to confront her R&B rival.

A source tells the National Enquirer magazine, “Beyonce’s remark came out of left field and really stung Janet. She blew up. “Yes, Janet and the Jackson family came from Gary, Indiana, and there was a time they barely squeaked by. But Janet has many loving memories and is incensed that Beyonce would make a crack like that.

“Janet wanted to know why Beyonce had to mention her family. They’re not friends and barely know each other. She feels Beyonce went out of her way to tell the world she’s from the upper class and the Jacksons were like a bunch of dirty gutter rats. “Janet is proud of her family and how they came from nothing and became superstars.

“Not only is Janet telling everyone who will listen that Beyonce has a lot of growing up to do and that she needs to stop trying to impress everyone, she’s planning to confront Beyonce herself and read her the riot act.”

We sense a cat fight coming on: 2 semi-burly divas going toe to toe, now that’s entertainment. But seriously, Sasha was out of line with all that snobbery. Let’s hope it’s not just a war of words though, both of these chicks seem to be lacking somewhat in the intelligence department.

    Why am I not suprised by B’s comment. Janet has every right to be offended, especially since since B did NOT have to single the Jackson Family out. Say what you want to the means that the family took to make it in the industry, but you can’t help but be inspired by their shear determination and incredible work ethic.

    Rihanna has already knocked her down a few pages. Why do you think Beyawnsay is talking salty?

    Look at rappers who used to be on top, when they start falling off they start talking ish about up and coming rappers.

    Beyawnsays old-face ***** needs to shut her face and stop stealing from other people. Janet didn’t become an icon stealing, she was original and was a trendsetter just like Rihanna. That is why Beyawnsay has so many subliminal messages in her music and interviews now.

    Pay attention people. Beyawnsay has finally hit a brick wall and looks old and tired in the face. Her true age is catching up to her. Look at those age lines compared to Janet’s baby face.

    Beyawnsay has always been jealous and insecure of other female artists thats why she sits on her butt pads all day studying everybody ’s craft and always gotta re-create to prove she can do something better. That’s not what Divas do.

    Janet should just ignore the tired ***** and let her crash and burn watching Rihanna succeed because that is eating her and her stans up inside.

    janet has every right to be irritated…beyonce didnt have to step on the jackson’s neck to prove that her family was not poor. we all know the story, beyonce’s dad used to make 6 figures until he QUIT his job to manage them, and they were living off of tina knowles beauty shop money (she owned a shop)…so they were upper-middle cl*****, then broke like everyhone else when her dad became obsessed with destiny’s child

    12/29/08, 10:59:am

    Beyonce Knowles seems to have forgotten, her mother indicated that they had to move out of their home and get an apartment when Matthew Knowles quit his job as an executive working with the Xerox company and that they had separated for a while because all the financial responsiblities were given to her. Matthew Knowles wanted to concentrate on Desitny’s child. The Knowles did use Beyonce, how are they making their living? Beyonce needs to read between her own lines and remember that interview how mom gave and that the media refers to from time to time when repeating her biography.

    12/29/08, 11:00:am

    I am not surprised that Bey would make this type of comment. But she is a little incorrect in her statements. I remember reading that Bey’s father lost his job at one point and her parents separated for a brief period. Shyte in their home was not exactly the Crosbys.

    The Jackson’s parents stuck together and raised their kids through all the ups and downs. Black families endure and move forward!

    Janet should let old Bey have it for steppin out of line. Bey needs to slow her role with the bullshyte. Her fans need to remind her who made Sasha Fierce *****!

    This comment explains why she married Jay-Z. It seems she is all about money. Well, Bey needs to understand money is not always about cl*****. Cl***** is a combiniation of education, common sense, self-respect, morales & values, and intelligence!

    This is boring, I do not know about you lot but I grew up listening, watching and dancing to Janet Jackson, and I forever heard about how the Jacksons were POOR, living in a one room wooden house and Daddy Jackson used to beat Michael and that was why he was so *****ed up in the head?

    Kudos for Beyonce for stipulating she had a good upbringing, not everyone has to be poor, with a bit of hard work a MAN can provide PROPERLY for his family.

    Go watch a Jackson movie there are plenty online, and I bet they start off with A POOR STRUGGLING BEGGINING.

    The Jacksons have always claimed there are poor, it is just the jealously over Beyonce why Janet is so mad.

    YES AGREED, NO JANET THERE WOULD BE NO BEYONCE, BUT LETS FACE IT, JANET CAN’T SELL A PACKET OF TOFFEES, AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE A CHEAP ARGUMENT WITH BEYONCE (OVER THE TRUTH) MIGHT JUST GIVE HER SOME PUBLICITY…AND IT IS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN AN OLD WOMEN GETTING A WHITE BOY TO PULL OUT HER *****IES ON STAGE!!

    Beyonce is not a cl*****y lady

    12/29/08, 11:01:am

    MsLadee shut the hell up! Bey has a bad influence on Jay. Don’t switch it around.

    Beyonce is a liar and she will always be. I’m disgusted from her arrogant character.
    She tells the whole world that she wrote all the songs by herself but at the end perezhilton cought her and that she just changes one word, so she gets the credit for writing the songs.

    Interesting comment. Especially since I just read the article in Elle magazine where Tina made a comment that she has a big family and Beyonce seen addiction first hand. Referring to Beyonce’s preparation for CR. Perhaps, she was really talking about papa Knowles.

LOL I DO remember Beyonce making those comments but as far as what Janet said, idk. I am on Janet’s side, i respect her MORE for having to come from nothing and later, sit there with 400,000,000 in her bank account and have a brother who has set records that no one will EVER break –yea a little family from the GHETTO did that…Also, if you ask me i think Matthew was using them, what parent does all that he did and doesn’t expect anything out of it personally?

    Then again, you can’t fault Bey because that’s how her family raised her up to act – as if she’s better than everybody else.

    Yeah, Janet, you need to go handle her ***** REAL quick.

    When I looked at UNSUNG over the weekend and I saw the episode on the ‘DeBarge Family’ I was blown away by all the ‘other’ ***** that the family was going through. But what made me laugh was when Jermaine Jackson and Baby Face talked about them “raiding the vendor machines and getting ***** out of there for free and Baby Face said that “The were ghetto. If you said the wrong thing to one of them, you had ALL OF THEM to contend with.”

    Beyonce know who to say that ***** about and who not to. I agree with the other poster: “she should know what to say and what not to say at this point.”

You all know Jo jackson was effed up and the whole situation was horrible. Plastic surgery and ish. She probably only wanted to stress there was *****ody beatin people up and ish in order to make it! I wouldn’t want to be compared to them either…Jo Jackson was way too much! and look at them all now…yeah nothing to say. Somebody need to commit Michael!

    Not that I am conceding the statement is true, but it doesn’t just say that the Jacksons were poor. It says that Joe Jackson used his children as a way out of poverty and Matthew Knowles didn’t. Joe Jackson was p*****ionate about music and I think that was his driving motivation. Matthew did the exact same thing. It doesn’t matter how much money they had beforehand. Both fathers dedicated their lives completely to making their children successful. There is no differance.

I DON’T READ THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER BUT I KNOW SHE DID AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DAILY NEWS WHERE SAID TALKED ABOUT HOW SHE GREW UP AND STUFF LIKE THAT AND TALKED BAD ABOUT THE JACKSONS. THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS IS A VERY ACCURATE AND CREDIBLE SOURCE OF INFO AND BEYONCE REALLY THINKS SHE’S FROM NYC SO SHE ALWAYS GIVES THEM AN INTERVIEW. tHE ONLY REASON BEYONCE GOT THAT JAGUAR FROM HER BROKE DAD WAS BECAUSE HE WASN’T PAYING THE OTHER DC MEMBERS AT THE TIME. BEYONCE’S WHOLE INTERVIEWED PROVED THE STORY OF THE OTHER DC MEMBERS TO BE CORRECT. SHE FORGOT TO MENTION HER DAD’S DRUG AND PROSTITUTE ADDICTION. THAT’S ANOTHER REASON THEY WERE IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES AND FORCED TO MOVE TO AN APT. FOR SUCH AN “UPPER CL*****” GIRL HER PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION DID NOTHING FOR HER IGNORANCE AND SPEECH IMPEDIMENT. PICK UP A BOOK BEYONCE. THEY NEED TO LET HER PUBLICIST WRITE FOR HER AGAIN.

    Open up your eyes there are other sites where people leave comments regarding their thoughts on that lame show. I had arguments with people who were white (and surprisingly some black men) that reveled/enjoyed in a show like that because according to them it showcased every stereotype about a black family. I did not defend HER LAME A** FAMILY because that’s impossible, but I did defend the Black family that predominantly exists in America and made it clear that not all black people are like that. So, yes I have the right to hate that show and everything it stands for because I have to constantly politic the truth and defend everything it tears down.

If Janet is *****ed it’s obvious it’s because shes jeolouse of B. but she has no need to be, Janet is a Icon and needs to hang up the mic, if her core audience isn’t buying her music anymore.

    They did not have the same backround and that beyonces point. If she had a real problem with poor people i doubt she would have married J. Who also was poor coming up.

    TRUTH BE TOLD….WE HAVE BEEN CLOWNING ON THE JACKSON’S FOR YEARS. THEIR FAMILY HAS BECOME A JOKE….AND WE ALL KNOW IT. IM 40 AND GREW UP LISTENING TO THE JACKSON’S AND NOW WE KNOW JOE DID A NUMBER ON HIS KIDS!!!!! THEY ARE ALL F*CKED UP IN THE HEAD WITH MAJOR IDENTITY CRISIS. JOE USED THOSE KIDS AS A “MEAL TICKET”.

    BEYONCE’S COMMENTS, ONCE AGAIN, ARE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND YOU HATER’S ARE JUST RUNNING WITH IT! WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION WAS???????? TO ME IT SEEMS SHE WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT HER PARENTS DIDN’T NEED TO USE HER OR THE GROUP TO RISE TO FORTUNE. HER PARENTS ALREADY HAD MONEY. IT MAY HAD COME OUT THE WRONG WAY BUT WHAT SHE SAID WAS THE TRUTH. THE JACKSON FIVE WAS POOR AND STRUGGLING AND JOE PUSHED THOSE KIDS BECAUSE HE SAW DOLLAR SIGNS.

    The article was in Elle magazine this month. When I read it I had to read it again, and was appalled. I wondered if anyone else had read the entire article. My question is, if both ladies are NOW rich, what difference does it make who had what “Back in the day”. If anything your experiences make you who you are, and if you had to struggle more, then the more inspirational your life and message becomes, (meaning I think Beyonce is fluff, and ghetto, regardless of what kind of car they drove or what school she went to. Whose songs have more of a Ghetto message, Janet or B? By the time janet was old enough to pay attention the Jackson 5 had already been sucessful, so technically she was not the one “pimped out”)be thankful for where you are now, not what you “supposedly” came from….

    If you look at the footage of DC back in the day; then take a closer look at the B’s vibe with Kelly and Michelle; you’ll come to one conclusion. . .Beyonce is a *****.

    Now I’m not trying to go out on Jay’s wifey or say because she’s a *****ing ***** she’s any less talented or beautiful; but it is what it is. That’s why Kelly had to go to London to blossom because under Beyonce she would remain bullied and overshadowed . . . because Kelly is a sweetie and Beyonce is a *****.

    It’ll all come out eventually . . . but I already peeped game a while ago.

    First of all, Beyonce has no interviewing tactics. She can barely make a complete sentence without using the slang “Umm”. Ok people take it how you want Beyonce is not that intelligent whereby she can make comparisons or better yet speak without putting her foot in her mouth or better yet looking absolutely clueless about how to answer questions. This is where her family fills in the gaps, they are the backbone behind beyonce’s success. However, when it comes to performing, she has that down pact, look at her gross. So, basically we don’t see Beyonce all over everything saying “OMG she’s the best speaker ever”. No! So as for her way of trying to clarify what makes her family different from the Jacksons’ she should have kept her mouth shut out of respect to the other members in the Jackson family who we don’t know at all. I don’t doubt Beyonce’s talent exist, like so many other artists, if you don’t have a strong backing or finance, no matter how talented you may be, it will be more difficult to reach certain platforms in the entertainment business. Still, I say that no matter how high you go you can fall just as hard if you don’t watch how you treat people and what you say can always comeback and bite you in the rear end!

    I WON’T BE SURPRISED IN YEARS TO COME THERE WILL BE A MOVIE ABOUT THE KNOWLES FAMILY. SOME HIGHLIGHT:

    KELLY WILL FINALLY BE EXPOSED AS BEYONCE’S HALF SISTER.

    MATHEW’S DRUG AND PROSTITUTION ADDICTION WILL BE PUBLICIZED.

    THE BAD CONTRACT MADE FOR THE OTHER 2 DC MEMBERS WILL BE PUBLICIZED.

    PAPA KNOWLES TELLING BEYONCE ABOUT THE OTHER 2 DC MEMEBERS BEING JEALOUS OF HER.

    TINA AND MATHEW TELLING FARRAH SHE MUST CUT HER HAIR, WEAR DARK EYE CONTACTS, AND TAN ONCE A WEEK.

    MICHELLE BEING TOLD TO LOSE WEIGHT BECAUSE SHE’S TOO THICK. OH YEH AND THAT KENITRA IS TOO GHETTO.

    SOLANGE BEING PULLED OUT OF PUBLICLY EYE AND BEING CALLED A DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY NAME.

    BEYONCE WATCHING OTHER FEMALE ENTERTAINERS FOOTAGE AND STEALING THEIR MOVES.

    BEYONCE AND MATHEW FINDING WAYS TO SABOTAGE REAL WRITERS AND PAY THEM TO CREDIT BEYONCE AS THE SONG WRITER.

    ETC……….THAT WOULD BE A A GOOD MOVIE. THEY ARE JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE THAN THE JACKSONS. *****ODY KNOWS IF BEYONCE WAS GETTING BEAT BY MATHEW. MATHEW PIMPED HER OUT THE SAME WAY, BUT PIMPED HER BEAUTY AND HALF NAKED BODY FIRST.

    Let’s take a look at her pregnant teenaged sister, she seems really upper cl***** to me. Then lets look at the way they speak, even now Beyonces’ speaking voice irritates me, like someone “trying” to sound proper, splitting verbs and adding an “r” to everthing to overcompensate for dropping too many “r’s” when she normally speaks….ok I am off my soapbox for today

    12/29/08, 11:59:am

    Lady Architect-u aint NEVA lied!! I too wonder how long it will be before a tell-all book comes out, confirming the very things you mentioned: how B stole everyone’s limelight in DC, how Matthew is actually Kelly’s Daddy. However, I used to work with some folks from Houston who made a good point: after Latoya & Latavia were dropped from DC and sued for millions, Matthew probably made everyone in DC sign confidentiality clauses, banning them from ever going public with the real sh– that went down. He threw a couple mil behind his words to keep folks quiet. I think B is talented but not nearly as much as the media makes her out to be. She has the right look and can shake her *****-THAT’S how she became a star. Her voice is great but that’s not why she made it big. If you watch DC’s videos, over time, the camera would only focus on Beyonce. The original group as a whole had other shapely girls in it and Matthew dropped them to give B the limelight. Its VERY obvious and well-planned. I also HATE to hear her speak because she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I’m not surprised by anything negative that she says. I love B’s music but her personality sucks. Janet is gettin’ gangsta as she gets older and I don’t doubt that she’ll confront B. But she’s too cl*****y to do it in public.

    I can’t see Janet confronting her because she’s too cl*****y for that but I wouldn’t be surprised if she comes out with a single referring to Bey. And another thing, if it is true that Beyawnce said it, the appropriate comment should have been “The only comparison is that we have the same p*****ion and drive for music!”. Something to that effect. It shouldn’t have come out that way because regardless, The Jackson 5 and Janet were tight performers, still loved and respected by many fans. In a interview you don’t have to answer any questions you don’t want to answer. So, I think she opened the door for some backlashing from fans alike. It seems the real her is seeping out and people are starting to see the fake humility.

    The Jacksons laid down one of the most influential blueprints for popular music as we know it today. Whether it be the Jackson 5, Michael’s m*****ive appeal as solo artist, or Janet’s incomparable success as a solo artist, Beyonce will never be as groundbreaking or cutting edge as the Jackson family. So she could try to compare the her family to the Jacksons but I seriously doubt her and Solange will leave a lasting impression. Maybe Matthew should have beat their ***** a little more…LOL!

    Ok Ok as Beyonce Rep let me rephrase what she said:

    What Ms. Knowles met to say was that, unlike most entertainers who grew up rags to riches (like the Jacksons) She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her dad worked for a bank and her mom was a well established hair dresser that owned her own shop. And lets not front like Joe Jackson did not use them kids, yall all know he did, she aint expose nothing about the jacksons that we didnt already know. You people think Beyonce is the devil when in fact she is a really sweet girl. She has no Rags to Riches story to tell unlike Jay Z and we should be happy about that..

    B made the comments about the Jackson family in a recent issue of Giant Magazine (the one with all of those silly “Sasha Fierce” pictures). They stand by their story which means that they probably have B on tape.

    This ish does not surprise me one bit because Beyonce and the whole Knowle clan (minus Solange)appear to be very s*****by and phony.

    Beyonce does not have a clever bone in her body or in that pea size brain of hers. It sounds to me like she was really stuck on the question and just started rambling on.

    How dare she even speak about Janet or the Jacksons?? Who gives her that right?? They have more talent in their entire family then Beyonce has in her lil pinky toe. She should learn her place and know that respect has to be given to the ARTIST before you.

    Janet is an OG and will always be a legend. Hell she paved the way for all these so call DIVA’s in the industry. She was the one with all the dancers, c*****ography and funky ***** costumes.

    Beyonce needs to humble her country ***** and realize that she is not the greatest talent in the world and will be replaced soon enough by the next hot YOUNG thing to hit the industry.

    Sasha Whack??

    Oh and upper cl*****?? So the fact that daddy was a perv, a crack head and abusive that still makes her better than the Jacksons. The fact that her mother and father pimped her ***** out to the industry and to Jay Z eventually so they could be RICH. The same parents who ignore the ish out of Solange because they know that Beyonce is their meal ticket?? Come on.. what universe does this ***** live in??

    Again…Sasha Whack??

    As for the Jackson movie. If Jermaine was the driving force behind it he is justified because he had to live the life. That movie was the life of the Jackson’s as Jermaine saw it. R

    egardless people can make comments and show concern but to actually speak on it like you were a witness to it is just crazy. Beyonce had no right plain and simple. Just because her and her fake ***** family want to appear one way in society’s eyes and hide the fact of who they really are, does not give her the right to speak upon anyone elses family and use them as an example to put herself on an even higher pedestal than what she is already on.

    She sucks!!

    12/29/08, 12:33:pm

    I am personally a big fan of Beyonce’s music. I think she is very very talented and is one of the few young artists out now that can actually sing. But the only conclusion I can draw from this is that she’s just not that smart. I have always thought she didn’t have good interviewing skills and she always sounds like she’s trying to sound smart but it’s just not working. She probably didn’t mean what she said in a malicious way but her lack of ability to convey her true intentions with intelligent words just isn’t there. She speaks horribly and I wish she would get some speech therapy and go to charm school. They need to prep her better for the public.

    I think B is the one p*****ing judgement, we are simply voicing our opinions on that. She may have attended private school at some point, but I know she went to a public school for most of her education. I think it was when Matthew was on crack..I guess I consider them middle cl*****, call it what it is. A Jaguar or any car cannot define your cl***** in society, ask any drug dealer… Her reference to that shows just how ignorant she is. ask her to name drop the private school she went to, or the neighborhood she lived in, not the car her daddy drove.

    “Bey’s barley at 10 years and look at all she has accomplished from top record sales to endorcements to movies to grammys to being dubbed a Icon by quote on quote white people standards..”

    No one said Beyonce was not talented but her endorcements for movies are just becasue she is Beyonce. She CAN’T act. She can definately perform but is she the greatest singer out?? NOPE.

    If Lauren Hill was in the game Sasha Fierce would be non existant. If Amerie had a better agent & longer songs :D she would be direct competition. When Jennifer Hudson gets back to work she will sound better and sing Beyonce under the table.

    See Beyonce has a great marketing team, agent and Jay Z. That is why she is succesful. Her employees are working overtime to make her the star that she is and yes they have done a good job. But you can’t hide a lizard and its’ scales no matter how much weave, make up and fitting gowns you put on it.

    Unlike B, Janet Jackson never had to announce to the world that she wants to be an “icon.” Janet’s talent and status as an “icon” speaks for herself. B doesn’t want it with the Jacksons because like it or not, they are still a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment business. They have the status that B longs to achieve.

    Because you are a marionette does not mean you are NOT dumb Brook Lynn. For instance, the right side of the brain is what formulates thought within its own concept. The left side of the brain just takes in information and regurgitates it. For instance, if you tell me everything to do and I know how to execute, I can do that to a T and perfect it. But, for me to make my own knowledgable and senseless decisions, would be impossible. There are things called puppet shows that generate money…

    @ WAKE UP EARLY
    You are stupid okay. She said it in a magazine Elle to be exact. Your are just a real ***** kisser. Beyonce is not giving you any money for kissing her *****. Beyonce seems to have forgotten, Her daddy did pimp her. She always explained that she missed out on her childhood and she has been working since she has been 12. That’s sounds like pimping to me. As a father he should not have wanted her to work so hard but he should have wanted her to be a child. When you grow up sheltered you tend to get wild later on in life and that is what is going on now with her now. So you need to shut up. I grew up a very shelter life, My dad’s a minister and I grew up a very sick child. As far as there money. I grew up and live in California. Beyonce’s parents had Houston, Texas money not california money. Let them try bringing that same little money to California. She would not have had a upper cl***** life style, she would have had a A’ight life style. The cost of living is totally different like three times as much to live in california verus living in Texas, so stop frontin okay. Now when you can take your money and move anywhere then you are upper cl*****, you grew up well beyonce, well but definetly not upper cl*****. Your parents would not have been able to compete, with her funky salon because she wouldnt have been doing my hair, with her no talent having *****, she couldn’t do hair then and she can’t do hair now.

    It is a disgrace to belittle Keyshia in this manner.

    She has a gifted vocals and song writing ability from God. He didn’t dismiss her as trash. Keyshia beat the odds and she has been lifted from the despair of being born to a drug addicted parent. She did not chose her parents. She didn’t chose her destiny. God did.

    Stop judging, and being envious. Keyshia could of followed the same path that her mother did, but god had a plan for her.

    The place where you reside or came from does not stop you from reaching your destiny.

    It is sickening how black people Tear her down, because of a past she had no control over. Keyshia always carries herself with cl*****. It is someone’s character who defines who they are.

    Ghetto is a derrogatory term used to belittle someone.

    Keyshia show is about her. Yes her family has verbal altercations but that is life. Keyshia has donated to charity on her show, sought counseling for her family, reached out to youths to warn them about sex, asked the pastor to speak to her family and pray with them. None of that is ever discussed only the negativity.

    I guess it is easier for some to tear someone down instead of congratulating them on their success.

    It looks like from the word ‘go’ Bey was encouraged by her father to do whatever was necessary to move up the ladder – including knocking people off to get there, if necessary, and she’s pretty much done just that. Five years into it she’s become one of the baddest in the business but still finds it hard not to speak ill of her peers…sad, ’cause she doesn’t even realize she doesn’t have to talk trash or play dirty (stealing music ideas from other artist) to get the attn she craves.

    This overrated, copy and paste, FRAUD clearly has lost her mind. She will NEVER be the icon Janet is. For someone to be so “upper-cl*****”, she is the most low-rent pop superstar I have ever seen. She gets by on her looks, shaking her *****, and STEALING everyone else’s stuff. And Matthew Knowles has NOTHING on Joe Jackson. Joe was able to keep the Jacksons together for a long time, meanwhile, DC couldn’t keep members longer than 2 days.

    Janet came from poverty, but she has cl***** and grace. Beyonce has neither. Janet knows how to give interviews without sounding like she went to school on the lil slow bus for LD kids. Janet was an original and Beyonce doesn’t have an original bone in her body. And people sought after Janet, while Beyonce is like an ambulance chaser begging people to hire her. So tell me, where did all of this upper-cl***** status help her? All it did was help her to buy her way into fame. The Jackson’s had to work extremely hard to get to where they are. I’m sorry but there is NO comparison. Beyonce is in the same category as Paris Hilton as far as I’m concerned.

    That is terrible if Beyonce said those comments.

    Why snub her nose at the jacksons. We are all aware that her mother had her successful salon and her father was a CEO. No one needed a refresher course along with some nasty comments about the Jacksons.

    If she thinks that her father didn’t use her talent to get to the top she is delusional. He quit his job to manager her, so what does that say.

    Joe jackson was cruel and abusive but he did the same thing Mathew Knowles did. Saw that his children were talented and made sure they received the exposure to get a record deal, the same as Mathew Knowles.

    I think people tend to snub their noses at people like Mary J blige and Keyshia cole because they grew up poor. That may be Beyonce’s reason for making these uneccessary comments.

    Beyonce can’t be picture perfect no matter how hard she tries, so she should refrain from any more of these antics or she will lose fans, have to hire extra security, and have to make a public apology like the others for putting their foot in their mouth.

    next, beyonce is so prim, proper and STAGED.. i know mathhew instructed her on what to say during the interview.. so it probably wasnt that. the comment was probably taken out of context. just when she said the comment about spanish people and wanting to be spanish.. and that got blown out of proportion.

    Durn mature and durn easy B. may have been, but she did on one occasion indulge her inner adolescent diva, which led to what is now known as “the slap.” Beyoncé, then 15 or 16, was making a promotional appearance at a Houston record store. As Tina tried to talk to her, Beyoncé started singing right in her mother’s face, movin’ and groovin’ and letting that voice of hers rip, so Tina, who had never spanked her girls, hauled off and slapped her daughter flush on the cheek. Thwack! The slap reverberated.

    “My husband came up and said, ‘Tina! She’s got the No. 1 record on the radio!’ I said, ‘I don’t care!’ I was terrified. I had seen people take your child and turn them into something you didn’t want them to be,” Tina says. “I taught my girls to pick up their own suitcases. Pretty is as pretty does. Like my mother said, ‘You got to be cute on
    the inside.’ ”

    Tina worried, however, that her daughter would never forgive her for the slap. “But Beyoncé apologized,” she says. “She said she understood why I had done that. And she has never done anything like that again.”

    Bey is an Icon just like Janet and that is hyprocracy to say that Bey will be an Icon when she stops shaking her butt cuz isnt thats what Janet is known for too? that and excessive boobidge

    I recall you said Keyshia was ghetto, uneducated and had bad teeth.

    That is a mean spirited attack on a woman who didn’t do anything to you.

    Her family is dysfuntional addicts like a lot of people. Some familiy members argue and don’t get along. It is a part of life. I don’t reacall anybody speaking our against the Osbournes when all their children were addicted to drugs.

    It just shows how some black people will always disparage and belittle others to feel important.

    Maybe you would of felt better if Keyshia became a single welfare mother living in Oakland waiting on someone Social Services line for WIC, Medicaid and Food stamps.

    I co-sign, for all of her success Janet seems to be an extremely humble and grounded woman. You never hear her say anything bad about anyone or talk ***** in any of her interviews. You never hear stories about her being a ***** or a diva.

    I just find it funny for Beyonce to infer Joe Jackson pimped his kids out, when her own damn father does the same thing to her. That chick Farrah that got kicked out of DC basically said the whole Knowles family was a bunch of *****holes, and they made her go tanning because Beyonce had to be the “light skinned” one in the group. That family doesn’t fool me for a second.

That is her parents money. I know alot of people that grew up like Janet(including myself). That made us stronger and wiser. We are doing very well for ourselves. We are professionals. Yes, if our family needed something we would do our best to help them. For someone that grew up with such a plush background, she has no cl***** and is not very articulate. She better be careful because you never know when it can be taken away. She better chk the demographics of her fans. Those people that she is insulting are the ones that are making her rich.

    1. The quote is in the December issue of Elle.
    *If it were not true it would be off the shelves like her B’day cd when she jacked those songs and had to settle in court.

    2. They used to try to sneak in the club in Houston, everybody from there knows that. She isn’t too far removed from doing things normal girls did.

    3. She used to date a guy named Lyndell…everybody in Texas and Louisiana knows that.

    4. She’s lying about being Creole and “growing up on the bayou” What part of Louisiana & what bayou? Creole is a culture not a race and they need to stop trying to sell that story to people.

    5. Why do they only have one photo of their grandmother. Not hating but if they were all that close and wrapped up in the culture and she was such a fashion maven & gorgeous where are the other photos? They keep marketing that same photo selling that fake Creole legacy. Cooking gumbo & eating Popeye’s chicken does not make you Creole.

    6. She needs to keep that on the low that she went to private school because she obviously learned nothing. No tact, manner, uses poor grammar and is far from being ladylike.

    7. Wearing a bun and studs does not make you cl*****y. That chick is a glorified hussy, lol.

    8. If she keeps throwing rocks and putting her hand behind her back its bound to catch up with her.

    Didn’t your girl just announce to the world that she “wants to be an icon?” This was just last month! Even SHE knows that she’s not there yet! She is NOT an icon. I think that you’re the only one who hasn’t recognized that yet.

    As far as the bootie shaking comment, PLEASE! Janet did not establish a career off of booty shaking. Janet ripped the stage with her unbelievable dancing and c*****ography and that is what made her a star. Control hit in 1987 when Janet was “plump” so she certainly was NOT half naked a$$ shaking in her videos. She didn’t start showing skin until the Janet album came out in 1993 but even then you wouldn’t expect that from MOST of Janet’s videos and performances. But with B….well you get it.

    My point is that NO ONE in the business is known for all that a## shaking and rolling around and screaming on the floor during performances and in videos–that’s B’s trademark and that’s how she got famous. What’s sad is that even with all of that overdone, exaggerated, melodrama she STILL hasn’t reached Janet’s iconic status and if she keeps going the way that she is going, she won’t.

Beyonce will never be an Icon because she is not original, everything she does is taken from someone else.

Beyonce’s vocal abilities arent even on point, she yells and screams all the time and if you notice when ever she sings there is an echo in the background to make her sound stronger. Beyonce is not an Icon, she is a seat filler for the time being and we are being fooled into believing she is selling alot of records but she is not, its all smoke and mirrors.

I had arguments with people who were white (and surprisingly some black men) that reveled/enjoyed in a show like that because according to them it showcased every stereotype about a black family. I did not defend HER LAME A** FAMILY because that’s impossible, but I did defend the Black family that predominantly exists in America and made it clear that not all black people are like that. So, yes I have the right to hate that show and everything it stands for because I have to constantly politic the truth and defend everything it tears down.

    I don’t usually comment on these things I just enjoy reading what ya’ll have to say, but since that fake Benawncy is messing with my girl J I had to chime in…

    To all of the Benawncy stans… she is a fake a fraud and sounds like a deaf special needs child when she speaks. She sucked in Dreamgirls (go J Hud!) and every other movie that she has been in. Question? Why are all of her movies ones in which she plays the same role? Poor chick with little cl*****, that sings her way to mediocrity? MMMMM? Does art imitate life or what! At least J Hud was a regular person in Sex and the City. Anyone could have played that role: black , white, asian, latina.

    I read the Elle article and I could not believe the *ish her parents said about the DC girls shakin their tails on stage and then reading the Bible on the bus. You thank God heard them prayers!?! They are sadly mistaken! God was NOT pleased!

    That is why the dummy said what she said… the apple don’t fall too far from the rotten trees! Please read this article to know what this family is all about. I am all about movin’ on up and keeping your kids into a positive mindset, but we are all a couple of paychecks from the hood, black, white , asina or latino. Didn’t *****ody in the hood want that stank Benawncy back then.

    @Boo– you are absolutely correct. Janet did not have the opportunities thrown at her that B does. Back then the media didn’t pimp as much and they sure won’t looking for little colored girls like Janet to over expose. (BTW… didn’t B look awful white in some of those pics in Dreamgirls?) Janet is an icon, she did not set out to be one; she just is… Her love for the art is what made her the icon she is. (That cash didn’t hurt either) Even my momma still loves “Control”!

    @ Lady Architect… I can’t wait ’til that movie comes out. That will be the *ish! Cause why would Kelly’s momma “sell” , I mean give over custody to them fools like that. Didn’t she want to have some input on the $ her child was getting? SMDH on Kelly’s momma.

Beyonce is not an Icon, she is a seat filler for the time being and we are being fooled into believing she is selling alot of records but she is not, its all smoke and mirrors. Her Manager Matthew books her for magazine covers, appearances, and so on people are not coming to her for these things.

    @ Kenny

    Funny u say this cuz I have heard Janet sing live and trust honey she cant lite a candle to Beyonce in the vocal dept. I am not that young sweetheart but I recognize talent when I see it a Bey has talent, aside from booty shaking she writes, produce, acts, and owns businesses. she c*****graphs and even writes for other artist like Neyo. Janet has a higher standard beacuse of the length of time she been in the biz, and like I said 1,000 times I am extremely proud of Janet Success or any talented black woman for that fact, Beyonce is doing the damn thing to sing and dance and never lip synch like janet is amazing. Janet is a far better dancer than she is a singer. Now u do me a favor and fine 1 concert or show where janet didnt lip synch to her own music and tell me how great ya girl sounds live… thank u much

    Can you believe that stupid statement? Janet has been in the game for 28 almost 29 years….lets she where Beyonce is 20 years from now! No one wants to hear Single Ladies, Freekum Dress, Kitty Kat, and so on 20 years from now because her songs are kiddie and they are only jingles for the present era. If Beyonce started performing fully clothed, no gyrating, she would lose fans because that what the ghetto and trannys like.

    Beyonce on Lauryn Hill:

    Beyonce Knowles of former R&B band “Destiny’s Child,” says she will never “lose herself” like Lauryn Hill. She is determined to keep her feet on the ground and deal with the pressures of fame.

    The “Bootylicious” star describes the former Fugees singer’s story as “tragic.” According to her recent interview, she believes the singer has been unable to cope and deal with the demands of fame.

    “[Lauryn Hill's] story is the most tragic. I mean, her record was genius. But drama and demands and the pressure and all of the people giving you so much
    access to so many things can be too much. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me but I know I’m more than a singer and I have so many other things in my life to keep me focused.

    Stupid, slow people can’t articule positive things about themselves w/o bringing up negative things about others.

    Lauryn Hill would have sang her under a table. Beyonce would have to be butt naked with “public” hair extensions rolling around to get somebody to listen to her if she and L. Boogie were singing at the same time.

    *Ok, but Beyonce recently tried to clean up the statement she made about almost having a nervous breakdown during B-day’s controversies & almost failure hence getting played by a real journalist.

    Dysfunctional does not mean necessarily mean drugs. A dysfunctional family consists of verbal abuse, physical abuse, emotional unavailable parents, addictions to food, alchohol and drugs.

    That is a lot. I know your family must be dysfunctional as well becuse your constant belittling. A person full of bitterness, and animosity like yourself has a dysfunction that started from their upbringing.

    You should clean up your owm back yard before you point fingers at someone elses.

    Keyshia started that show with her first album and the show was an instant success. She does not even like the drama and chaos that her family displays. She is embar*****ed. I disagree that she is exploiting them.

    I didn’t say she represents black families. It certainly isn’t mine. She wanted to show her fans where she came from, how she survived, and where she is headed. Keyshia is doing a good job despite, her family and their shortcomings.

    She is making contribuitions and speaking to the youths about the pitfalls out there that can stifle her success. Her good deeds take a back seat when it comes to others who want to cast stones. Keyshia has helped some of her family members to better themselves.
    Her teeth should be of no concern to you. She got her teeth fixed anyway.You should find a new source for your loathing. It’s pathetic.

    Just because we all “know she’s dumb” doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it and laugh at her. It would be in her best interest not to read this, what can she do?
    If the statement was taken out of context, all she needed to do was issue a statement to that effect. In her mind, she may see things differently than what they were.
    Perhaps old Matthew should have taken lessons from Joe and pimped a bit harder with Solange. She could have taken the high road and at least been the “SMART, ugly sister”, instead of the BITTER, ugly sister”.

    I agree vocally Beyonce is stronger than Janet but lets not go far and say Beyonce is a writer. If Beyonce wrote her own songs her name would be the first writer in the credit section instead of always being the 3rd or 4th writer. Many unknown artist has taken Beyonce to court because she stole their songs and added 1 word to it to get writing credit. Beyonce acts because she pays her way into the movies its not on real acting merits. Beyonce owns her own buiness because its a tax write off and its side money, do you think she really controls the business? NO, she doesnt have a say so. Believe it or not but Beyonce doesnt always sing live , they all do it because they perform so hard. I recently watched Beyonce concert on TV and I noticed that she was lip synching too! They just record a live track for the concert to make them sound live and then they come in when they need to to speak with the audience. Beyonce is not GOD, she uses a track as well. Also when she performed at Rockerfeller Center for the tree lighting event she DID NOT sing Ave Marie live, it was a pre recorded track

She’s just tryna do everything and put herself out there all the time. And in about 1/2 of those movies you mentioned sucked (or at least her acting did)

    May I dissect this comment u posted?

    1. Overexpose: when someone is working hard as a entertainer why is it overexposure? its not like she has a 9 to 5 job to go to, her job is to be in the limelight and stay an A lister she not like Paris Hilton and Kim K who are famous for nothing feel me?

    and

    2. Half her movies suck? hahahaha and Janet was a Academy award winning actress in Nutty professor, oh oh and give her an emmy as Justice in poetic Justice, when she cursed Tupac out it sound like my son was cussing very very unnatrual

    I have all of Janets albums. Also, Beyonce cant even pack in a full house in Europe, she has to perform smaller venues so the tickets sale out faster. Dont be fooled, Beyonce is not that much on top, the machine is fooling us. Also Beyonce only sold 70k in Europe, only Americans are checkin for Beyonce. Beyonce is not gaining new fans, its her old ones keeping her on top and the old ones are starting to fall off. I bet any amount of money, if Beyonce releases a new album in 09 it will flop because people are starting to get tired of her. Beyonce is overexposed so she has no choice but to take a long break. Beyonce will only be known for shaking her ***** and performing hard other than that its a wrap

Thats the thing about Janet her dance moves were always on point, but Beyonce you have to be a stripper to do those moves and she does the same dance moves over and over.

    1. song writing is song writing it doesnt matter if ya name is 1st of 10th if u put input into it then u r a writer, that is not an easy task to accomplish for most.

    2. She has much input into the Deron business, and yes it may be a tax write off but since when that was cosidered stupid to do? that is a smart move

    3. Paid her way to the acting industry? possible but just think of Janet she was great great friends with John singleton and BAM she stars in Poetic Justice, her and Eddie was Great friends too then BAM she co stars in Nutty professor. sounds fishy if u ask me

    4. Beyonce was trained in her early life to sing and run across a football field courtesy of Matthew Knowles which is the reason why her vocals are so damn strong. I went to 4 Bey concerts and it was live everysingle time boo

In the left corner wearing the cat burgler ensemble and slightly less than 20lbs of hair is The Rhythm nation, concert stripteasing, midget loving, Daddy don’t hit me no more Janet Jackson.

    1. It does matter if your the 1st writer because that means you wrote the song, if you 3rd or 4th yes you gave input but we all know she only adds ooh and ahhh’s. Beyonce has received writing accolades for adding one word to a song, this is a deal that she has with sony so her resume is more impressive.

    2. How do you know she has much input in Dereon? OKay I will give her credit for saying “I want that shirt in red instead of black”, I hope you dont think she sews or in the weekly business with them. Just because her name is on something doesnt means she controls the company. In the industry there are manufacturing companies that license your designs and creates them for you at a percentage , she barely has say so. Also, if she does have say so that is sad because the line is horrible….so I wouldnt brag that she controls the business.

    3. Yes, Beyonce paid her way into making movies. Beyonce’s dad was heavily involved with the Dreamgirls movie, Beyonce is the producer (Paid) of Cadillac Records, Beyonce produced (paid) Obsessed. Why do you think she is getting movie roles? Its not because she can act. Also, Yes Janet know John Singleton but was she is Higher Learning? Was she in Four Brothers? NO, so just because she knows John Singleton means nothing. John is not like that, he will not cast someone just because.

    4. Yes Beyonce’s dad did make them run miles in high heels, but Beyonce is not GOD she is getting older and she needs a little help performing. I dont care how much training she has had you cannot spin, gyrate, swing your hair, and strip while singing……Please watch her concert on Direct TV, she is singing then she moves the mic down and the track is still rolling. Beyonce’s slower songs are live becasue she doesnt have to move. Also, When she fell down the stairs while singing Ring the Alaarm, her vocal track was still rolling as she was falling.

    Really, Sasha Fierce is comming out like that? Let’s be real. Just because you went to private school doesn’t make you uppercl*****. the knowles were a middle cl***** fam. with a working cl***** mentality. An uppercl***** fam wouldn’t of let there daughter get knocked up @ 17 and have a shotgun marriage. Uppercl***** people ensure their kids go to college no matter what they want to do with their career. And if she was uppercl***** that comment wouldn’t of came out like that.

    Beyonce, keep to singing and stay out of cl***** discussions, The truth is the jacksons especially Janet made it possible for you to have a career. Janet was the first black female pop artist to make it big. Janet has sold over 100 million albums in her career. Mike has over 500 million. Sasha and solange have long way to go before they can start looking down their nose at people.

    She didn’t just offend Janet. She offended the whole jackson family, including Joe and Katharine. The jacksons had real talent and joe knew it. If they couldn’t sing, and if they didn’t have true talent they would still be in Indiana. If Beyonce was wack She would still be in Houston probably doing hair in her mother’s salon.

    The bottom line is the parents of Beyonce and the Jacksons knew their children were talented and were instrumental in them signing record deals and gaining worldwide recognition. Their parents have reaped the rewards of their childrens ’s labor.

    Their social status before they got discovered has nothing to do with their talents. I would be incensed if I was randy, tito, jermaine, michael, jackie and the rest of the clan. Money isn’t everything. I find her comments very insulting and offensive.

    If it were not for the Jacksons, Beyonce would not have a stage to shake her half dressed tail on. This is what happens when you do not respect those who paved the way before you. Even if her comments were merited, the Jacksons are not the first family to improve their financial situation through their children’s talent. And I don’t care what sort of executive her father was…at the end of the day the paper was made solely on Destiny’s Child and Beyonce’s career! SMDH!

    I have it and I really like it, but for beyonce to be such a superstar I expected a little more from her. I consider myself a fan of hers since the first destiny’s child album but it seems like she started giving us crap when she put out B’Day: A few good hitmakers, but not that many songs. I think B’Day only had like 10 songs and Sasha Fierce has what like 11 or 12? Honestly the new album didn’t need to be a double disc. All she had to do was put all her songs on one disc and divide Beyonce’ from the alter-ego on the back of the cd cover. We would have still gotten the point. In essence, from the songs that she did give me, I like most of them….

    @ Toxicity

    Your the one thinking that is a representation of all black families. Only ignorant people label everyone the same becasue of race. Some people do descend from Addicts. They just refuse to discuss it and carry the pain inside. It makes no sense to run from your past. Keyshia is doing the best she can with her family. Showing her life on t.v. might give some lost soul encouragement not to give up on your dreams. Negative people look for the worst. I try to be optimisic when it comes to life. People have flaws. No one is perfect. She is not phony and not ashamed of who she is and her past. She could of cut all ties with them and let them fend for themselves, like a lot of people do who found fame and fortune.

    Instead she chose to buy her sister a home, put her nieces in private school and accept her birth mother back in her life after she was abandoned. It is nice to see that Keyshia is not full of bitterness and wants the best for her family.

    That is not me being self righteous. That is me being optimisic and not full of negative criticism.

    I like Beyonce but i don’t like the phony persona. Her comments show that same negative mean spirited attitude to tear someone down to make herself look good. Her life is not picture perfect like they way she presents it.

    I was not comparing Janet to Beyonce as far as their marketing. Re-read what I said then comment.

    Janet’s marketing team (J.Dupri)should hang it up because Janet is as successful as she is gonna get. The issue here is Beyonce needs to think before she speaks. Janet and her (bey) are on two different levels and from two different times. When Janet was relevant her marketing team was on point. They did what they had to and that is why Janet is who she is.

    Once again Beyonce has given me yet another reason to put her and Sasha on ice. She is feeling herself too much. She may have come from a family with means but just like Janet, she had to work hard to get to where she is. Beyonce’s father pimped her then and continues to pimp her out now. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a hustle and whether or not you did that hustle with a silver spoon in your mouth or food stamps in your hand doesn’t matter. Her comments and lack of diction continue show that you can grow up uppercl***** and still have none. Sasha/Beyonce/Mrs. Carter, your time is up.

    Check this, you should love your Family ALWAYS regardless of what they do, but truth be told Janet’s family was F-ed the heck up!!!! Everyone knows that. And its known that Poppa Jackson did not make it as an artist and lived through his children.

    It is what it is, tha truth.

    When Beyonce said she came from upper cl***** that does not mean she thought the Jacksons were gutter rats, she is just saying her family would have been straight even if she didn’t make it big. If the Jackson 5 didn’t make it, theyd still be scrapin a scroungin. Mo fo’s need to stop overracting.

    I read the interview before this mess popped off and I never though she was takin a jab at the Jacksons, cause anyone with a functioning brain knows they are DISFUNCTIONAL, and that’s cool alot of people are.

    The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

    Ok, first beyonce said:by suggesting her family is lower cl*****. The former Destiny’s Child singer said in a recent interview, “I grew up upper cl*****. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people *****ume we’re like The Jacksons.

    Which she was saying she grew up like them, just like micheal made money for her family, beyonce made money for hers, and then she was like the only diffrence is that, beyonces parents were’nt pushing her to get out of financial situations like micheals father did. Yall tripping all beyonce was saying is that they grew up the same way, just her parents are diffrent, and how they treated them were diffrent, Yall tripping hard

    Like boh of their fathers sacrificed their life for their children because they believed in them, she is not a jackson because janet’s father always make sure EVERY BODY in his family has the same cut! now michael was the one but every body was involved! or you can clearly see that BEYONCE’S father could care less about Solange! wether people think she is less talented or not, she clealy did not have the same chances as her sister! Her dad is her pimp! upper cl***** or not!

    12/29/08, 15:24:pm

    This is ridiculous. I remember this interview…First of all Beyonce did not say anything negative about the Jacksons…That’s completely false. The interviewer compared Beyonce’s relationship to her Dad to that of the Jacksons’…Beyonce stated she was a major fan of the Jacksons and she adored Michael Jackson! The only thing she stated was in issue to the “Disipline” factor. She stated she did not want to speak about something she did not know…but her Dad never “whooped” her. That was a difference there. Those other comments about “gutter rats” and “lower cl*****” did not come from Beyonce….Folks really need to stop trippin. Beyonce seems very down to earth and geniune…She could really have her nose in the air if she wanted too..but she doesn’t…yet folks still want to hate on her. Just Jealous!! Keep doing what you do Mrs. Sean Carter, black folks gonna hate regardless!!!

    Fake is fake, real is real and dumb is dumb. I feel like this, the chick always wanna say no comment when they ask her ish about her personal life and her inner circle. Well she should have said no comment to that question. The best response would have been I don’t want to comment on anyone elses family nor do I wish to have my family compared to anyone elses.

Again I feel Beyonce is talented but she is definately overrated. As for you and your business aspirations I wish you luck and the best.

    and people wonder why i don’t like this girl, first of all, your father did use you, and he is still using you to this very day. beyonce’s little flame is starting to wane, and that’s why she’s been running her mouth so much lately, it’s called desperation. Janet is already an icon, and on her way to becoming a legend. she is the triple threat beyonce so wants to be. she’s a singer, dancer, and she can ACT! so instead of talking out the side of your weave, you need to learn from her, and yes her family is all screwed up, but you don’t hear her talking crap about other people. Sasha/beyonce needs to be knocked off her high horse, and i believe that day is coming sooner than she realizes. oh and believe me if beyonce didn’t say that, her father would be all over the person who wrote it in the first place.

    12/29/08, 16:10:pm

    So let’s get this straight….Beyonce grew up upper-cl***** and attended private school and she still sounds “country” and grammatically incorrect as hell. Even though Beyonce is a good singer (and I’ll use that term “good” sparingly), she talks “country” and is by no means ELOQUENT. Someone who is upper-cl*****, speaks WELL and presents herself with cl*****. Also, Beyonce’s country, limited-vocabulary behind sounds the same in every movie she’s been in (not a good look for an up and coming actress).

I think alot of people have problems w/ her because she didn’t come from poverty but upper middle cl*****. I hope this was a misquote.

    Africaine

    12/29/08, 16:33:pm

    Only trashy people like Beyoncé confuse cl***** and money. Real cl***** has to do with demeanor and nothing to do with private schools and jaguar. Real cl***** means that you do not need to tell people you are upper cl***** much less insult someone else while doing so. Judging solely from the way that her and her sister sometimes speak the English language I do not think “upper cl*****” is the right description for her. Since she’s so “french” she’ll know what arriviste and nouveau riche means!

    Bey was out of line – but what else is new. Someone said Mr. Jackson worked those boys for his good – well people see the same thing in Bey’s dad. That’s why she felt the need to justify his behavior. But she shouldn’t have used the Jackson’s as an example. She really does need to stop trying to impress EVERYONE.

    Razzell Dazzell

    12/29/08, 16:37:pm

    WOW! BEYONCE HAS REALLY BEEN BESIDE HERSELF LATELY. NOT GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION DOES THAT TO PEOPLE. (SHE PROFESSED THIS HERSELF, SHE CALLED HERSELF A “B”). SHE USED TO BE SO SWEET, KIND HEARTED AND WARM…OR WAS IT ALL A FRONT.
    SO WHAT HER FATHER DROVE A JAGUAR, AND SHE WAS CONSIDERED UPPER CL*****, HER FAMILY WASN’T EXEMPT FROM ANY HARDSHIPS MANY FAMILIES GO THROUGH. HER PARENTS STILL SEPERATED FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS (POSSIBLE CHEATING INVOLVED). HER MOTHER WORKED (AS MANY LOWER, MIDDLE AND UPPER CL***** FAMILES DO) THEY STILL HAD TO SCALE BACK BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL STRAIN (SO MUCH FOR UPPER MIDDLE CL*****), AND SHE STILL HAD A SISTER WHO SUCCOMBED TO WHAT PEOPLE REGARD AS LOWER CL*****–TEENAGE PREGNANCY (EVERY CL***** IS AFFECTED BY TEEN AGE PREGNANCY, BUT GUESS IT’S OKAY BECAUSE SHE UBBER RICH). IF SOLANGE GOT PREGNANT AT 16, SHE’S PROBABLY BEEN HAVING SEX SINCE SHE WAS 13 OR 14, PERHAPS CLAIMING SUCH A CLOSE KNIT FAMILY AND NOT KNOWING YOUR KID SISTER IS SEXUALLY ACTIVE AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE ISN’T THE SMARTEST MOVE. I CAN’T STAND WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO PORTRAY ONE THING WHEN THEY ARE SO TRANSLUCENT.
    SO YOU TELL ME, HOW DISFUNCTIONAL OR HOW MUCH OF AN ANOMOLY IS BEYONCE FAMILY? >REHTORICAL< YOU ARE NOT AN ANOMOLY. DON’T THROW STONES WHEN YOU LIVE IN A GL***** HOUSE. WHILE I DON’T AGREE WITH THE JACKSONS UPBRINGING, JOSEPH WAS TRYING TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THOSE CHILDREN, JUST AS MATTHEW TRIED TO DO. THEY BOTH COME FROM UNCONVENTIAL BACKGROUNDS, THEY BOTH WANTED TO BE ICONIC, THEY BOTH HAD DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND THEY BOTH ARE, SO WHY SO MUCH HOSTILITY. BEYONCE, LET’S BE REAL HERE, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO SAID YOU ADMIRE JANET AND MICHAEL, SO LET’S NOT ACT HOLYER THAN THOU, IT’S JUST NOT CL*****Y.
    SPEAKING OF CL*****Y, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT BEYONCE LIKES TO CLAIM SHE IS SUCH A LADY AND SO CL*****Y, I HAVE TO QUESTION HOW CL*****Y OF A LADY ARE SHE REALLY IS. HELL, SHE’S MARRIED TO A GUY WHOSE BEEN UP IN SO MANY FEMALES I’M SURE HE LOST COUNT. OH MY BAD, SHE WASN’T RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS WHEN HE WAS SELLING DRUGS TO THE “LOWER CL*****” PEOPLE, NOW THAT HE’S BIG MONEY, HE DOEN’T FALL UNDER THAT CATEGORY. SHE PRANCES AROUND SCANTILY CLOTHED, VERY SEXUAL LY DRIVEN AND SPEAKS LIKE SHE IS FROM THE SLUMS OF WHO LOSS I FIND, SO LET’S JUST STOP THE SHARADE RIGHT NOW MS. B.
    CL*****Y LADIES ARE ARTICULATE, COMP*****IONATE, AND DON’T SEEK ATTENTION FOR SELF ESTEEM. THEY OOZE CONFIDENCE, AND DON’T NEED REINFORCEMENT FROM OTHERS. MORE THAN LIKELY THEY ARE AKA’S WITH A BEAUTIFUL MIX OF MY SISTERS IN SERVICE DELTA’S, BUT THOSE SHE IS NIETHER.
    BEYONCE, JUST A WORD OF ADVICE, TAKE A BREAK FROM MAKING MUSIC AND “ACTING” AND I USE THAT TERM LOOSELY, AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL, OR AT LEAST BY A TUTOR OR PROFESSOR WITH ALL THAT “HIGH CL*****” MONEY. DEFINITELY NEW MONEY—TERRIBLE!
    I LIKED BEYONCE, BUT SHE REALLY IS FADING LIKE A DISTANT MEMORY. KEEP UP THESE ANTICS AND MATTHEW CAN STARTING DIGGING HER PROFESSIONAL GRAVE!

    All of the following entertainers were accused of being talentless and using their *****-shaking to achieve fame:

    Dorothy Danridge
    Tina Turner
    Janet Jackson
    Lena Horne

    pretty good company. Not that serious. Beyonce is a YOUNG black woman trying to achieve her dreams, she wants to be an icon, good for her. Every time she walks out the door someone is sticking a microphone and a camera in her face. She is more media savvy than the average. Should she want to be a forgotten failure? Aim low so people will like you? Well her country talking and ***** shaking has taken her farther than most, and I’m sure she won’t die broke or unknown.

    Beyonce was out of line period with what she said. She could have at least covered it by stating how her family, as well as the Jackson’s, made it to success. Who cares if they were beneath her in past times? The broad doesn’t realize that maybe all her fans don’t drive Jags and live “upper-cl*****” but still supporting her stuck-up *****. The Jackson’s obviously had influence over her if she COPIED Michael’s dance moves in the “Bootylicious” video; and we all know she copies others as well; back on subject though. She needs to sit down and think before she speaks. I enjoy her music, but she’s starting to step on toes with her remarks and attitude. We already know her sister doesn’t have any damn sense so I guess her ignorance is coming out as well. In both cases they were used by their parents, even if Matthew Knowles was successful before, he has more money now..doesn’t he?

    Points well taken. Beyonce can sing she is a true talent. she can dance as well and she is pretty. That is the reason why she has so many fans who adore her as well as haters.

    I tried to make the same point to the Keyshia Cole haters.

    people who are full of envy, and bitterness, because they have not been successful in their own lives. They would prefer to see a woman like Beyonce, broke in Houston on looking for governement Aid to support herself and her illegitimate children.

    If she did make those comments she was out of line.

If she really did say this I’m hoping she will clean it up because people who buy her CD’s aren’t well off so surley she wouldn’t be looking down on her fans. But I gotta say… Why do people have to be “haters” just because they don’t like Bey. I like her she’s cool but I can’t really be taking up for someone I don’t know. Either you love be or you hate her. That dosen’t make you any less of a person because you don’t like her music,movies,clothes ect. She’s doing her thing..yada yada yada.

    Beyonce made it/is making it because of the efforts of Janet, Aretha, Eartha, Diana, etc., and those who preceeded her. There is no way her parents could have even dreamed of their daughters making it that way without the efforts of those who preceeded.

    Janet was at the forefront of Black culture making itself known amongst white America. Remember all the shows Janet appeared on as a child? If it wasn’t for the white folks purchasing her raggedy albums and tacky products, Beyonce wouldn’t be making it. If she only appealled to Black folks, as we are only 12 percent of the population, she would not have the riches she has . . .

    And with all the money she has, she still can’t put her own ***** on some kind of a diet. I am so sick

    bottom line, the ***** is dumb, period. she proves it every time she opens her mouth, and she proved it again with this interview. Britney Spears’ psycho ***** is a bigger star than beyonce 10 times over, and even she has enough sense not to come out of her face against Janet. if beyonce was indeed misquoted or misunderstood, then she better put out a statement and clarify exactly what she meant. that’s the only way she can prove that she actually has a brain in her head.

    Considering most black children are born to single mothers than yes, it is a privledge for black kids to grow up with two parents. Its not like its the norm.

    I don’t think Beyonce meant any harm (she seems a bit clueless like that at times), but i’m not so bothered by the upper cl*****/lower cl***** portion of her comment.

    i’m more or less irked that she was like ‘my daddy wasn’t like jo jackson. we HAD money, so i was being pimped out like Janet, Michael and dem’.

    like, HELLO!!!!!

    you WERE pimped out. you’re STILL being pimped out.

    Beyonce is seen here or there taking vacations, but she has worked non-stop since day 1. why?

    ‘can’t miss no money’, says daddy knoweles.

    beyonce is beautiful, i’m not so much a fan of her singing, but she does a great job at what she does. however, the poor girl is overexposed.

    we can’t go a year without her being in some crap movie with a crap role, and now she’s giving us crap albums!

    why???

    because daddy is STILL pimping you out. when ya pimpin’, you don’t take the time to really create art. you just jump at anything with dollar signs.

    i don’t think Beyonce is greedy, i think that she just too many people cracking the whip to keep the machine going.

    so all and all, i think she needs to take a look at that before she says ANYTHING about ANYBODY.

    i hope that the report of Janet wanting to confront her isn’t true, because i can just see janet ‘frontin’ her at a Vanity Fair party or something big where everyone will be there and Beyonce will be crushed because i’m sure she pays a lot of homage to Janet (and Michael).

    JANET IS WHAT BEYONCE IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO BE. AN ICON. A LIVING LEGEND. WHETHER SHE CURRENTLY SELLS OR NOT.

    JANET HAS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS, AND PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT HER. 20 YEARS FROM NOW, *****ODY WILL BE TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE.

It is just as shameful being so insulting & complain about the Black women of this America when you do absolutely nothing to help the downward spiral or do you it’s always easier to belittle others when you don’t do a dam thing yourself. I am a project product my father was there & so were thousand of other project families we weren’t rich but we had both parents and we were blessed w/common sense, morals & the will power to want to do better. Your outlook on the black female may be accurate in some cases but you need to find another way to vent because you are unhappy about the way the world precieves you & other Black women. If you can’t offer a solution to the problem then you need to stop commenting on the problem. YOU yourself are just a bigger hinderance as the Black men/women of which you speak of so disparingly…….

    ok, clearly alot of you just saw “the Jacksons” movie for the first time this past weekend. The Jacksons’ beginnings before fame is well known and legendary. it’s no secret; never has been. *****ody’s denying that. but for this girl to say that her father is not like joe jackson shows her ignorance. matthew knowles may not have beaten his kids, but his business practices are exactly like joe jackson’s was, and that whole mess with the original destiny’s child members proves that. and her family was not upper cl*****. as i recall, when her parents split up back in the day, her daddy was bankrupt, and her mother had to move into an apartment and work in a beauty salon. so her parents WERE using her ‘to get out of a bad situation’. their situation is no longer bad, but they’re still using her. Janet, and her brothers, broke away from their father’s control and took their careers in their own hands when they came of age. beyonce is still under her father’s control, and she’s being used by her father as a means to an end. so that ‘upper cl*****’ remark was WAY out of line. *****ody’s saying that The Jacksons weren’t poor; everyone already knew that. but beyonce needs to learn the meaning of the word ‘tact’. a remark like that not only offends The Jackson family, but it offends anyone who is struggling to live and survive every day, which includes alot of her fans.

    I agree. Kigali is just yelling at the mirror. While she may have had 2 parents they both failed to teach her to love herself and her race. She is incapable of finding or keeping a man her parents had to arrange her marriage. She lives in poverty, rides the bus and uses the universities computer. She claims she is the only black woman at her university therefore I doubt if it really exist. her only form of entertainment is lashing out at people she doesn’t know or like.

    12/29/08, 18:50:pm

    I read her interview and the journalist said to her “How do you feel when people compare your father and joe jackson together?” she was trying to show that it was no comparison because they didnt have the rags to riches story nor was she beaten to sing. It wasnt a forced career it was an option. With that being said BOSSIP should check their sources before they run with it. She didnt diss the Jacksons because if you noticed she has always looked up to them. She has done several tributes to Micheal. She just doesnt want people to think her dad was mean or beat them. I think that it is so sad that we as African American hate on our own kind. She is not conceited or stuck up she just is who she is. People including Blacks have this vision of whats black enough. She is not hood or ghetto. She has become very successful and I just wish we would stop *****g each other and congratulate each other for our successes!!

    when beyonce first went solo, Diana Ross couldn’t stop talking about how much she loved her all the time in interviews. but then ‘Dreamgirls’ came out. after that, Diana never said one word about beyonce again, she even joked that she wouldn’t see ‘dreamgirls’ “without her lawyers present”. then when Diana was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors, she personally chose Ciara (of all people!) to do her tribute. anyone who knows anything about Diana Ross knows that this was clearly a snub from her. plus, aretha franklin already told this girl about herself earlier this year.

    Considering most black children are born to single mothers than yes, it is a privledge for black kids to grow up with two parents

    ——————————————————————————————————

    What a load of hog wash. When janet was born in the 60’s it was frowned upon to be born out of wedlock. It was not the norm to be raised by a single mother. You just make up things as you go along. Anything that justifies your hatred for black women. You have no right to judge. You are no paragon of virtues. You are mean spirited, rude disruptive, callous, condescending, foul mouthed and the list goes on. You have no right to belittle anyone. If you are so concerned with the plight of black women and their children , why not join an organization for women and children to empower them and lift them up. The only thing you can do is tear others down with negative, vile words. you are no solution, you are part of the problem.

    what you should do is seek therapy for your dysfunction. It must be miserable to carry such bitterness inside you and the only way to vent is on a message blog.

    I think Beyonce took a katty swipe a Janet with doing herself up to look like Janet for one of the sasha fierce promo pics.

    I think Beyonce did that, knowing from Janet’s 106 & park interview that she was under Janet’s skin.
    Beyonce is being immature and disrepectful, given Janet and Tina laid the foundation for the type of entertainer she is today.

    Beyonce needs to show as much respect for Janet as she does for Tina.

    Janet needs to stop acting like her music career is over and Beyonce is her achilles hill. Janet is a great actress and she needs to take a card from Will Smith. FOCUS ON ACTING AND MAKE RECORDS AT YOUR LEISURE.

    I think, once Janet channels her creative energy towards her other talents, her creative musical chord will reappear.

    Both musical families have skeletons that show that at the end of the day, they are just as human as the rest of us no matter what cl***** they consider themselves in.

    Janet has never, nor will she ever, act like beyonce is any type of ‘achilles’ heel’ to her in any way, shape, form, or fashion. Janet is not threatened by beyonce, and she has never even hinted at the fact that she might be. as a matter of fact, it’s obvious that Janet pays beyonce no mind. beyonce can never be an ‘achilles’ heel’ to Janet, only in the delusional minds of her stans. quite the opposite, in fact. Janet has already accomplished what beyonce is still trying to accomplish. if anything, Janet is beyonce’s ‘achilles heel’, because she’s the one that always has Janet name in her mouth, and when she’s not doing that, she’s jacking something from Janet’s blueprint.

Janet was the highest paid artist of all time at one point. Is this chick serious!? If you’re so high cl***** (which she located as going to private school… not college… or actually graduating) then why are you married to gutter grimy marcy projects Jay-Z and why do you stay talking about the hood in “your” songs.

    i wouldn’t say Jay Z is grimmy, or that the fact that he was from the hood makes him a bad person.

    i think TJ is just saying that it’s a contradiction for Beyonce to make the comment but she’s f*ckin’ an ex-pipe dealer and tried hard to gain her own street cred.

    you wonder if her publicist is even in the room when she says things like that.

    like i said earlier, i don’t think she intentionally meant to be catty, i think she just talks and doesn’t stop to think that fans and haters alike take everything you say or do seriously. that’s why entertainers have publicist, because they may not always be thinking.

    These comments could be taken out of context. The media is known for twisting words. If she did say those words It is inappropriate. She should of said she has no knowledge of Janets background and moved on.

    The media loves to start a war of words amongst entertainers. They pit Brandi and Monica against one another. Whitney and Mariah, and they will keep doing it.

    If Beyonce did say it then shame on her. Finances don’t define who you are. A person can carry themselves with cl***** and grace, be kind to others, and conduct themselves in a dignified manner, with no money in the bank. These attributes don’t cost a thing.

    Thumbing your nose at others because of where they came from only makes you look small and cl*****less indeed. It is about who you are inside. Character is what is important. A person with good character is priceless.

    the many black people don’t parti*****te in the census, so those statistics are flawed, that is why one statistic states 70% of black children are born to single mothers but the same bureau also states of the 65% of black households with children 45% have 2 parent homes, you can tweak a stat to prove whatever you want. They also don’t account for women who marry the father later down the line, never marry but are in committed relationships with the father or stepfathers present in the homes. you can’t believe everything you read.

    I don’t think you should be ashamed of public transportation, but you speak about women in poverty like it is something nasty. You speak about the bad attitudes of black women and you display that same attitude on a regular. I seems like you don’t appreciate the picture I painted of you, why is it because it is fraudulent or factual. is it because I have used tidbits of information to form an opinion of you that is less than stellar. You may see it as attitude but I see it as survival. Black women are attacked constantly, by men, the police, the government, the media and other black women who are shamed by the way we are portrayed so they lash out at women who look like them (kigali) our abrasiveness is a defense tactic, we can’t even read gossip at work without being attacked by you.

    See Black American Women don’t like people to talk about us, our momma’s, our children or our men and if you do expect the claws to come out. Now I don’t hate you, you are just a product of propaganda. you have adopted an european value system, and standard of beauty, and you are trying to apply it to us, doesn’t work. Do you think someone benefits from the statistics about the state of the black community? if so, who? You can be guaranteed it is not the black community.

    overcoming adversity is a black thing, that’s what we do, every step we have made, there were a bunch of naysayers. In spite of it all 80% of us graduate from high school, while other races are declining ours are increasing. now you can focus on all that is wrong with the black community, but I am only interested with what is right with the black community. Now you can throw all the stats at me you can come up with and there are two factors affecting the black community. Drugs and Racism. If a black man with a record had the same opportunity as a white man with a record there would be a change not only in employment, but repeat felons, also and increase in marriage. If our streets were not flooded with government funded drugs, there would not be so many HIV cases, foster children, or single parents. Deal with that first, then we can talk about what type of weave is acceptable and under which cir*****stances it is okay for a black woman to be angry or gain weight.

    I usually try my best to stand by the person being trashed for making dumb comments because people get misunderstood and misquoted and folks on the internet are harsh. But Beyonce has gotten beside herself. When Janet was her age she was doing much better than Bey is doing and DID NOT endorse EVERYTHING that came her way or ruffle ANYONES feathers. If Britney hadn’t been such a mess Beyonce wouldn’t have stood a chance. She’s having trouble holding her own now and her only competition is RiRi. Janet has been shutting *****es down and thriving since 82 longer if you count acting.

    Her daddy’s money couldn’t by her any cl*****? Everyone is so quick to examine the Jackson’s *****. Let’s talk about kid sisters teen pregnancy.

    If she came from money then why the ***** is she so damn money hungry?Janet came from two poor hard working parents and it made her a hard worker not a money hungry *****. Damn, this chick sure is easy to get sick of.

Real cl***** is someone like Alicia Keys who doesn’t have to strut around on stage half naked shaking her ***** in order to sell albums and sell out arenas. There are homeless people who have more cl***** in one finger than Beyonce does in her whole body.

    Janet’s family had money since the age of two. So she too grew up with money. Maids and family drivers. But I wonder why she NEVER brags about it. Hmmm?

    Beyonce was just a child and kids have NO IDEA what parents really go through day to day. Career wise or financially. So she has no idea what they were using her for. I recall a interview where Solange said things were so bad that their parents weren’t together and her dad WAS NOT WORKING. He put so much work and time into their precious Bey it cost him his job and almost a marriage. So if he was jobless I’d say Beyonce Gisele Knowles WAS a way out.

    Beyonce if you don’t want folks in your business or picking you and your family apart with a fine tooth comb think about what you say before you say it. And watch out when you point the finger at that Jackson family because they have a fan base like no other. Doubt it if you want to.

    @ Hmph
    Also remember that after all Janet and the Jacksons did for MTV MTV through her under the bus after the super bowl incident. I will never forget that. Nothing happened to Justin he was there golden boy.

    I was very disappointed that the black music community as a whole didn’t stand up for Janet. Had this happened in Marvin Gaye’s era you would have seen an organizing against the racist abusive messogynistic manner in which Janet was handled. In this Beyonce era you got her doing duets with him and ish. If you didn’t already know who has the real cl***** Alicia won’t go anywhere near Justin.

    Shani thank you.

    It surprised me Oprah would say that. In my eyes she is an entertainer.

    Anyone who is familiar with Jay-Z Beyonce Britney the Kardshians or the Hiltons should know everything you said about wealth and success is 100% true.

    12/29/08, 20:54:pm

    I’m not attacking Janet but she did plan that skit with Justin. She could of said no I feel uncomfortable with someone palming my breast. you can show your sensual side without the groping. That may be part of the reason why so many did not come to her defense. They should of refrained from that kind of behavior anyway on a superbowl sunday with kids watching.

    Hmph...

    12/29/08, 20:57:pm

    tj TELL IT.

    The only folks that really stood up were R.Kelly and Jamie Foxx. And a few little know comedians. I still would like to slap Spike Lee just a little bit.

    She was banned for four years. Yet SexyBack was played ALL DAY the day it was released. I don’t remember if it was every hour or half hour but it was played ALL DAMN DAY!!!! Bet mtv and vh1 are all the same damn people. Why was she just barely good enough for bet but no where to be found on mtv or vh1? And the damn host had the nerve to say ‘it’s been a while’ when she was on trl in 2008. Come the ***** on!

    12/29/08, 21:05:pm

    Shani thats true and I agree. I think it was just a damn bad decision.

    The fact is the treatment AFTER was lop sided. It was like he wasn’t even there. TJ is right black folks ESPECIALLY celebrities have No “lets stick togetherness.”
    If is wasn’t 2004 she would have had more support.

    About the kids watching don’t make me laugh. People just agree with friends family and co-workers because as parents it was the right thing to do. No one told people to tivo it or look it up a million times online. Or sign up for direct tv. Which reports show a major increase of Direct tv subscribers since the event. I’d rather my daughter see a boob than a violent football game or a damn Nickelodeon cartoon.

    She is a entertainer that was hired to entertain and that is what she did.

    Well BOSSIP!! I see some inconsistencies in this story..First of all Janet and Beyonce do know each other..Its a known fact that Jayz and Jd are very good friends and their are many occasions where Janet and Beyonce have been photographed together with their man…Beyonce attended and performed for Janet!!@ Mtv’s Icon celebrating Janet years ago and stated that Janet was a big influence..this was a private invitation only event that i attended that was later televised..and i doubt if Beyonce is that stupid or arrogant to diss Janet like that..Beyonce is an ok entertainer but Janet is and always will be an Icon!..Much Respect to Joe and Katherine Jackson they both had the premier black family in entertainment but even more they gave birth to the NUMBER ONE SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME..Michael Jackson…and the number two selling female artist (behind Mariah Carey) of all time..Janet Jackson co owns a bank as well as many business investments i.e real estate and even Fatburger stores IF SHE decided not to sing another damn song in her life she doesnt financially have to..and she has nothing to prove anymore she’s already proven herself..there is a time and season for everyone and even if Janets season has p*****ed she should be respected for the plain facts that exist..Beyonce is still proving herself she has not even hit iconic status and may never hit it!!

    @ hmph

    I’m not surprised at Oprah for saying those things. Her attitude is popular amongst wealthy people. “Look at me I’m succesful because I have 2 degrees and went to college”. Handling a basketball is nothing and you are dumb because you didn’t finish college.

    Oh B.S you are suppose to utilize the tools that was given to you. If you can go to the NBA and earn 20 mil a season good for you. It sure beats being in the system, in jail or on the corner, or working menial jobs to get by. the same goes for singing, dancing or whatever career that brings you success.

    Education is important but some people have talents that will earn them millions of dollars, and they don’t need 8 years of college to do so. It doesn’t make them less of a person.

    No matter what you do, there are others who will cut you down with words and label you worthless because of insecurity within themselves.

My brothers and sister went there with BeYacky and we was poor as hell. Every hood has a Catholic School…Biggie went to Catholic School. Next…her crackhead daddy would rent that Jag out for crack. And her momma is well-known alcoholic freak. Sounds like a bad situation to me! If she was so upper cl***** why was she singing for free at Community Centers in the hood at the beginning of her illustrious career? And why didn’t she go to a boarding school if they had so much money? She ain’t no different than the rest of the h-town hoez that bop on s*****as…she’s just doin it on another level. Am i the only one who thinks she wants to be white? her daddy pimped her, kelly, latavia, letoya, and michelle. latavia and letoya were smart enough to bail early. i’m sick of this hoe!!!!!

Do you have any idea what Control was to the industry Janet invented a genre. Rhythm Nation.. Janet… the Velvet Rope. All outsold beyonce by tens of millions. Do I need to talk about tours. Janet tours were the biggest thing the industry has ever seen. Even recently Janet’s film with Tyler Perry was actually Janet’s film this etta james crap bey was in wasn’t about Bey and neither was the fighting temptations. Also why does bey have to sing in every film? cause she can’t freaking act.
    Let’s not even talk about being a sex symbol. Janet paved the way period on so many fronts I can’t even believe anyone would go so far out of pocket like this. Janet is kind respectable beautiful and legendary. She does not deserve this at all.

    I hear what you are saying Shani. But i wish that more entertainers did get some kind of education. at least get your diploma.

    there are a few entertainers who went to and did college.

    f*cks, even crazy a*s Kanye tried to expand his small mind (great artist, as*hole person).

    Diddy’s arrogant a*s went to college for a minute and i’m sure there are more who attended and/or graduated (but i’m not gonna sit back and give a list).

    i dunno. i think education helps.

    i know you have people who can make money because of talent and don’t need and education so to speak, but f*ck us women can make mad money as strippers and high cl***** prostitutes. at the end of the day, the lights aren’t shining, and the paparazzi stop following you.

    then what are you going to do?

    especially athletes, unless they invest very well. you can’t bounce a ball after a certain age (speaking figuratively). not everyone retires and become a commentator on ESPN.

    a lot of those guys have to get a real job. and a lot of them are too stupid to work at McDonalds…and that’s bad.

    Come on now. Really? People look into things way too much. I haven’t listened to the alleged interview, but I doubt it was like she just called them out. I’m sure there was a question of comparison between two succesful families. Compare and contrast, if you will and she just answered. What was she “supposed” to say? “Yes, we were just like them”? No! That would be a lie. Her family was not just like the Jacksons. Or at least not what the media allows us to see. The Jacksons did make a movie about their lives. Did any of them say the movie was inaccurate? Did any of them say Joe did not beat them? Did any of them say they were not poor? It’s not calling anyone out or saying I am better than though. It is just clearly stating the fact that she grew up in a stable home {financially well off without the physical abuse} and her family became successful on a dream. Would anyone have been upset if Janet had said, “No we didn’t grow up like the Knowles. My family was not finacially stable and our dad did use his hands on us from time to time.” It’s just stating facts. Now am I right or am I right? Think about it.

    12/29/08, 22:09:pm

    Enough said. Based on her interviews I suspect her cognitive skills are that of a junior high school student. Studies have demonstrated that one’s verbal skills are about two grade levels above one’s reading and writing skills. Beyonce lacks tact, diplomacy, and intellectual capacity (she put her foot in her mouth when referring to Jennifer Hudson’s weight gain for Dreamgirls and the obvious jealousy over Jennifer’s acting and artistic abilities and critical acclaim). I cannot stand the shrieking that she calls singing. She is no triple threat (sing, dance,act) except to herself whenever she is asked to respond in an intelligent way, just like a 13 year old or Sarah Palin.

    R @ W Take a look at Michelle’s comment.

    Also, you left out the part about not using her to get them out of a bad situation. The Jackson love what they do. And no one outside of latoya has really complained and even she took it back. Whoever mentioned that we don’t know that for fact that Matthew Knowles was always financially secure hit the nail on the head. Beyonce was a child she might not have know she was being used to save the family. No, none of the Jacksons argued the abuse or made for tv movie. So, you are some what right. But who is Bey to *****yze them? If they had no desire at all Katherine would not let Jopseph pressure them. I’ve heard both Janet and Jermaine say they were thankful for the way their parents raised them. MJ and La toya are always looking for a pity party. And look why…If you were Mike and you were accused of such behavior you too would blame you upbringing. If you were accused of going crazy like Latoya you would blame your father. It’s easy to blame someone else. Hell, 7 out of nine ain’t bad.
    As for your comparison…Janet wouldn’t have even entertained the idea of answering a question like that. She could learn some interview tips from Ms.Jackson.

    “How was she suppose to answer?”
    She has people to prep her for ***** JUST LIKE THIS.

    How about “Well I’m not sure. In some ways maybe in others maybe not”
    How about “I don’t know enough to answer to get into that.”
    I’ve seen her along with other celebs change the subject or my favorite celebrity move just give the wrong answer completely. LOL!

    Exactly. How does the Jag fit into not being abused? These comments are not fueled by people disagreeing that the Jacksons started out poor or that their dad beat them. It’s the unnecessary bragging and uppishness Beyonce spewed.

    She could have answered several, WISER ways. She could have refused to answer all together. She could have agreed but pointed out positives.

    “Yes, we are two hardworking and successful African American show-biz families.” Next question please.

    FACINGREALITY

    12/29/08, 23:40:pm

    Matthew Knowles, Beyoncé’s father and Rowland’s legal guardian, decided to help the girls reach their dreams of becoming singers. He quit (WAS FIRED!) his six figure salary job as aN equipment salesman at Xerox to manage the group.

    This decision by Mathew eventually affected the whole family. Their income had been cut in half, causing the family to move into two different apartments (BECAUSE HE WAS CHEATING AND BROKE). When the group was signed to Columbia in 1996, it gave the entire family a second chance at making things work (AFTER HE PIMPED OUT HIS DAUGHTER).

    As a teenager, Knowles attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston (POOR KIDS GO HERE W/TALENT), where she showed her musical talents. She later went to Alief Elsik High School,(BUT DID NOT GRADUATE).

    Now I don’t know what Beyonce remembers but I live in Houston and her father may tell the Xerox story to his advantage but he didn’t QUIT a six figure job but was asked to leave because he was too busy trying to pimp out his daughter and word had it he was a drug addict and womanizer. They LOST THEIR HOUSE – CARS, ETC., and had to literally start over as TINA was unable to meet all of the financial responsibilities with her income. They moved into TWO apartments – one for Matthew and one for Tina because they separated because of Matthew inability to take care of his family and his womanizing. Neither Knowles daughter GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL!

    Bey need to recognize that we here in HOUSTON know her STORY FOR REAL AND HER DAD PIMPED HER OUT – STILL DOES!

    Pimpin’ is pimpin’.

    do i personally knock it???

    well, he (matthew) isn’t depriving Beyonce or Solonge of their earnings. so everyone is happy.

    no biggie.

    like with Miley Cyrus. she keeping her family a float (billy ray hasn’t sold anything since Achy Breaky Heart) but when her 16th birthday rolls around, she gets the hand-me-down car…..that SHE bought for her mother from the Hannah Montana money.

    so Miley gets the left overs and mom goes and buys another brand new car…with Miley’s money.

    that’s when pimpin’ is bad.

    or like Britney who was pimped since she was a kid. Mama too busy to watch her herself, so she sent another woman out on the road with her child. a girl at that.

    Britney builds estates for her mother. hooks her dad up with restaurants, pays off their debts. cool. no problem.

    but when they saw her starting to go down the wrong path. everybody caught ghost….until there was a threat.

    britney go *****ed and started putting out restraining orders and cutting off monies.

    b*tch shaves her head, NOW all of sudden they want to be there because some other dude had his hands on her money.

    when her family and her record label saw that she still sold a half a million albums of Blackout, Blacked out and crazy, they knew she could still be pimped.

    and now daddy is there as conservator. helping his baby….yeah f*cking right.

    she just came out of the nut house and lost her kids a year ago, but now she’s getting ready to start a tour???

    and he takes her to court to up his pay?!?!?

    if that ain’t pimpin’, i don’t know what is.

    and that’s the bad kind of pimpin’.

    it’s bad when your own parents f*ck you in the a*s with no grease.

    out of all the sh*t i say about beyonce, i can say Matthew doesn’t appear to be f*ckin’ beyonce over.

    are you getting it now

    12/30/08, 01:31:am

    The actually Elle Magazine interview

    ““I grew up upper-cl*****,” she says. “Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people *****ume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”

    In fact, the only way she knew mean streets at all was because her father and manager, Mathew Knowles, then a sales executive at Xerox, took B., her younger sister, Solange, and some friends on a field trip to the Bottoms, a rough section of Houston. “He had my kids talking to the homeless people there,” Tina says. “I told him, ‘Mathew, that could have been dangerous.’ He said, ‘I want them to feel their songs, not just sing them.’ ”

    Encouraged to write her own songs by her father, whom she laughingly says “read too many Berry Gordy books and wanted me to keep the control in the family,” B. had little firsthand experience to draw from, given her cosseted life. What did she know about cheatin’, lyin’, no-good men, that staple of female songcraft? The Knowleses were an upstanding Christian family who attended church regularly, and after services they went to restaurants and amusement parks. A wild time for the kids meant swinging on bed sheets they tied to the upstairs banisters at home.”

    You know it’s hard to hate Beyonce because she is successful and to say anything about her is wrong. But the only reason this ***** is who she is because of corporate pimping and endorsements. Yes she is The Queen of the Game but the Game is wack. Beyonce couldn’t last 2 minutes in the era the Jackson reigned.

    The only thing that gave Beyonce street cred was Kandy and Tiny writing songs for Destiny’s child, her s***** is all talent show grade and contrived.

    Beyonce will see her day just like Janet, Mariah and even Whitney (perfect black barbie). Black people are disposable in the game, and once “they” have had enough of her that are going to chew up her and spit her out.

    “But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”

    Oh really? Well maybe it wasn’t to get out of a bad situation but it was surely to get into a better one. I have ALWAYS felt that Beyonce was just being pimped out by her dad. Not that she doesn’t actually have talent, but he just throws her in everybody’s face land sells her like she is a product. It’s like she wasn’t born she was manufactured and serves to us through every possible avenue. she was always given the spotlight even when she was in a group. Whether you think she was the best looking or most talented of the group or not is besides the point, there was no equality. I never know if an emotion Beyonce displays is genuine or just apart of the act. I mean she cried at the exact same point in her concert at several different cities..so how could it have been heartfelt? It was just a part of the show. And talk about unoriginal, she may as well have invented it. It is understandable to draw inspiration from those before you and to remake cl*****ics, but when that is basically ALL you do it’s not attractive. And when you wear the exact same outfit hair and have a very similar background that another female artist did years before you..that’s straight up swagger jacking. I like Beyonce. I think she is a great entertainer and very pretty but I am a fan not a STAN and I recognize what’s real and what’s not. This is how I feel base don things I see with my own two eyes and nothing can change it. Her comment was out of line regardless of what the reason was. Yes someone compared her fam and the Jackson’s but you mean tell me she couldn’t have found something better to say than that, whether it be true or not? It’s about a certain level of respect you should have for other artists ESPECIALLY the immensely talented Jackson family who make your family look like the Flintstones Beyonce. Give me a break.

    The reporter told Beyonce that everyone compares her family to the Jacksons so Beonce Disagreed.

    Janet must have grew up better than her brothers cause we all know the older one’s are *****ed up.
    So stop tryna get attention you barren old hag!

    Instead of Knowles getting better with age, she’s becoming more and more Britneyish. I’ve lost interest….She’s lost it. (did she ever really have it?)

    Go to Elle.com. The quote is in there. Beyonce should not have gone there. Point blank. B, give props to Janet for what she has accomplished and try keeping up with Ri.

    I like both artists, but Janet has that extra edge to her in originality, what Beyonce has to remember if there is any truth in that statement if it were not for Janet she and load of other artists would not be her. And anyone who has to advertise their wealth or status can not have that much cl***** at all, if it came to judging at first cl***** I would always think Janet exudes much more cl***** than Beyonce ever will…

    The Truth

    12/30/08, 07:24:am

    Janet is the original. The Jacksons are the original. Beyonce is just a second rate copycat. So is Usher and Chris Brown. I look at Chris Brown and he copies all of Michael J’s moves – 25 years later. The Jacksons came from nothing and made a name for themselves. Like any family they are dysfunctional, but they set out the road map. Everyone else is walking on THEIR road.

    If Beyonce is so upper cl*****, why does she still talk so damn country? For all that “Upper cl*****” upbringing she damn sure didn’t get an upper cl***** education. She needs a reality check. Only insecure people put others down while elevating themselves. Pathetic.

    You know I hate to come back here and repeat but I really can’t believe this. I just got back to work (from afar) and this is the talk of our IM’s.

    HOW DARE SHE.

    Although I must say I’m hearing some conflicting reports as to context. Still either way. U show respect to Ms. Jackson always and no matter what.

    And as one of my co-workers pointed out. Beyonce disrespected Whitney Houston awhile back saying she wanted to reach out and get Whitney together or something. How dare you speak a word to Whitney Houston. Go sit down somewhere. Bey you talk to Rhi Rhi and Solange leave the legends alone. That’s all I got to say about it from here on in.

Come on if she is really as sweet as she makes herself out to be how comes she has screwed so many people over and can come out with things like this and think it’s completely fine????

    “I called Jay-Z gutter and grimy and Marcy Projects because he openly refers to himself as such. I was not calling him names. however I do hold a special hatred for drug dealers who brag about it to our children. Anyone married to someone like that should not be talking about cl*****. Especially not dancing the way she does in videos half naked with him relaying her knowledge of the streets. SHE’S a buffoon. And so are her STANS.”

    @Kigali you finally said something that makes sense LOL! Children are indeed investments. As much time, energy, and above all LOVE….my children better exceed my expectation. Positive + Positive= Positive, so put positivity into your children. It is my opinion they both did what they thought was best for their family, that doesn’t make it right, but hey, you live and learn. Learn being the operative word. I’m sure if Joseph had to manage his grandchildren he would do it differently, unlike Matthew, who probably believes his method is tried and true and there is non heuristic in terms of his theory on the best way to manage children. The Knowles’ success comes on the strength and appeal of Beyonce, not Matthew Knowles being the best manager ever… that accolade goes to Clive Davis. No doubt business skills probably benefited Destiny’s Child, but it’s obvious he still has lessons to learn—including prepping for interviews, public speaking, humbleness etc. (Public speaking for the whole family)

    “Thats a false dichotomy. It isnt a choice between an absent father and one addicted to drugs. There are lots of men out there that arent drug addicts that are willing fathers. Black females just have to chose them.”

    Kigali, your straw man tactics really show the workings behind your mindframe. You digress from my point of which I am speaking. But this is common with people who avoid main points and pick and choose what they want to address. Obviously, there are other men out there who are not drug addicts. My question to you was in reference to having a family and the father turns out being a drug addict-maybe not from the beginning, but it could be a gradual process as with some cases. You address my question by stating someone should choose another man? Wouldnt that be the workings of the “typical black female” you always speak of? Going from man to man? You sound like someone who knows a LOT about nothing and attributes all situations to your own limited judgement, which is also hypocritical at best.

Right or worng?

    I agree that being upper-middle cl***** and attending private school doesn’t equate to good English. I even agree that music “icons” shouldn’t be looked at as education role-models, BUT:
    “…Every time she walks out the door someone is sticking a microphone and a camera in her face.” All the more reason why she should hire a dialect coach and brush up on her grammar and speech overall. If she was indeed talking about her “upper middle-cl*****” background, and referencing the Jacksons in her creole t*****, that’s what we in the education world call IRONY – LMAO.

    12/30/08, 16:32:pm

    Beyonce may have gone to private school but she still has bad grammar and when she speaks she sounds like she’s the one from indiana ( no offense ). Janet has good grammar and was the original black tripple threat.

    Beyonce needs to sit down.

    I’m not a fan of either of them but Beyonce is just out of line for that dumb comment.. and WTF is upper-cl*****.. just because they had a house and a *****ign car? I know people on welfare with jaguar’s that don’t mean *****. At best, they were lower-middle cl*****.. I’ll have to see some tax returns to believe this story! I blame Tina anyway they think they’re so cl*****y with all that glitter and crystal and bedazzling.. it’s gettign ridiculous.

    I think everyone is making a big deal out of nonething. All she is trying to say (if she even said it) was her family already had money and her parents were not depended on her money unlike papa Joe. Janet can’t get mad about that because it’s true.

    12/30/08, 21:05:pm

    First of all Joe Jackson (although he went overboard) was pushing his children toward success. Many parents do. We all know that Beyonce is not the brightest bulb, but can she really not see that her parents PIMPED her out. C’mon now. She’s been walking around half-naked since she hit the scene. How old was Janet before anyone even saw her belly button? It didn’t happen on Joe Jackson’s watch. I can’t say the same for Matt and Tina Knowles!

    Nisha

    12/30/08, 22:44:pm

    I don’t see why she had to bring the Jacksons into it. Her statement itself is dumb but she could have gotten across whatever point she was trying to make without mentioning another family.

    Now on to her comment, she seems to think that having money equates to not being used or that having money automatically means a parent isn’t a pushy, overbearing stage parent. Beyonce’s dad certainly did push her, HARD and her parents benefited as much from her success as Joe Jackson and all the other celebrity parents have benefited from their children’s success.

    Beyonce is one of those celebrities who just shouldn’t speak. She makes some catchy songs and has had successful albums and I give her credit for that but she just always comes off as unlikeable, unpleasant, and unintelligent. She’s better off performing and keeping her mouth closed otherwise.

    blackgirl

    12/30/08, 23:08:pm

    When are black folks going to understand that money does not equal cl*****. Beyonce has more money than ill ever make but that does not equal cl*****. Your daddy has you shaking your tail in the camera, you dont talk intelligent, and you married jayz(who I love but I would not call him cl*****y..rich..not cl*****y) and your sister up and got pregnant which is not what people *****ociate cl***** with. You are not cl*****y just by saying it but you do have alot of money. Get it straight B..that’s all im saying.

    I like and admire both Janet and Beyonce, if there is any truth in that statement…. Then my opinion of Beyonce has gone right down… A person with real cl***** does not have to tell everybody about their status or wealth… A real cl*****y person is low key, and if I had to go of first impressions then I would say Janet has had more of an education and demonstrates more cl***** than Beyonce, you can tell she speaks better and remains humble at all times….

    Whenever Beyonce speaks, she sounds like a 9th grader. Maybe she ought to get some education with all of that money.

    Besides, she can’t ever hope to come close to the level of fame and popularity that the Jacksons as a whole have had.

    I really like Beyonce but she has went just a little to far,dishing the jacksons like that,when you don’t even know them,you wasn’t with them in Gary Indiana when they had to struggle just to make ends meet.
    I personally admire the Jacksons for their gifts to the art of music and dance.I certianly admire Janet for coming out on her own and not relying on the sucess of her Brothers.but she set her own standards,paid her own way,and did it with out her brothers and her father coering her,and she sold more records then Bey,had more sold out cocerts then Bey,and stared in more movies then Bey,and she never brags about herself or try and put other artist down just to try an lift her self up.
    Cl***** Ms Bey is not base on your gross income,nor where you were raised,and not your beauty or talent,but it’s base on your ability to rise above the trails of life,beat out the odds of you ever making it,and treating other artist and other people with respect and dignity,and that is something the Jacksons has aways done.
    My queston to you Ms Bey is who really has the cl*****? Hmmmmm!

    You know that at the age of thirty-six, I have come to realize that objects and people that appear to be happy and full–really are not.

    Janet Jackson and her family have paved the way for many Americans, black and white and all that in-between–who and what gives the right to anyone to fix their mouth to say anything about another person’s family.

    I put it this way as nicely as I can. Rumors are rumors and truth is truth. None spoke about Matthew Knowles alleged *****e habit and w*****s. The media and papers did that! None spoke about Tina Knowles’s reporting in media take.com (http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/4279-tacky_tina_knowles_i_am_not_black.html) that she was not black–she was French and Cherokee Indian and then another interview it is stated she is Creole. The case we have here is that Janet Jackson has something Beyonce does not and therefore she has to attack that woman’s family. I think it is low down and bull#@*!

    Beyonce needs to apoligize for her comments.. If she has any cl***** that is what she will do.

    I like her but I am very disappointed with her. She had no right to say what she said. No one has the right to judge anyone and since she grew up so well off she sounds like a snub. We as Africian Americans should stick together and comments like hers as just what white America likes to hear. They don’t have to tear us down we do such a great job on our own. Please Bey make a very public apology to the Jackson family……. We should be proud that a family take theie talents and lift therselves up. Also times were very differnt in the 60 ’s & 70’s. Joe got his family out of a bad situation and I don’t hear any of his family complaining.
