Solange On Beyonce Janet Jackson Controversy
Solange Knowles, has reportedly added her two cents to the rumored feud reportedly simmering between her older sister Beyonce and R&B singing legend Janet Jackson.
Janet is reportedly livid with the “Crazy In Love” star after disparaging remarks she made in reference to the Jackson clan made their way onto the pages of Elle Magazine’s January issue.
“Beyonce ain’t scared of Janet,” the flopping singer allegedly said over dinner with friends last weekend. “All my sister did was tell the truth… she wasn’t trying to hurt nobody.”

I love Beyonce’, but “he who restrains his lips is wise (Proverbs 10:19)” I believe that she didn’t have to make an insulting comment, as such. As for Solange, she’s just pure “lipstick on a pig (or pitbull)!”

As for Solange she don’t know what the hell she’s talking about, better yet take some vocal lessons because you can’t sing a lick you are just a shadow. And for B you are only a good entertainer not a great entertainer because for as your singer goes you need some lessons yourself. A microphone can make anybody sound good even me and I know I can’t sing. And for Ms. Janet, Ms nasty you go girl, do the dam thing.

Neither one of them is Jessye Norman, Kathleen Battle,or even Nancy Wilson (still beautiful now, but back in the day, neither B or J could hold a candle – or a microphone to her). Apparently ass-shaking and breast baring is way more profitable than having real talent. Would Ella Fitzgerald sing “Bootylicious”?
BTW – I ain’t no old fogey either, but there is a discernable difference between being a “performer” or an “entertainer”, and a real singer.
They are both beautiful sistas, and need to stop this BS, and enjoy the gobs of money that they make, and feel blessed.

Both Beyonce and Solange need to #1 fire their management for not properly equipping them as far as their interviewing skills. They have been around for about ten years that is plenty of time for interviewing prep. #2 they need to demand a refund for their parents from the private school they went to. But maybe its not their fault that their not savvy or have an extensive vocabulary because Bush Jr grew up in Texas went to real private schools AND went to Yale and he still appears to be unintelligent and sophomoric. INTELLIGENT TEXANS WHERE ARE YOU I KNOW YOU RE OUT THERE STAND UP!

First of all, Beyonce gets on my nerves. I knew with all of the success that she has had, she would get the “Big Head”; furthermore, I thought Micheal Jackson was her favorite entertainer. The fact that, she said what she said about Janet and the Jackson family was totally wrong. For her to say that she loves Micheal Jackson, and then ignoritantly insult the Jackson family is, her showing her true colors. Face it, she is fake and will always be fake unless she changes her attitude; and that by the way can only come with having a ‘real’ relationship with The Lord and knowing how “real” christians are suppose to act. I know for a fact that christians are not perfect because I’m one, but still that doesn’t mean that you say things that are not right and don’t take responsibility for your ‘own’ actions. To me, and I’m not trying to judge her; but to me she never striked me as an intelligent person. I’m not taking as far as book wise, but character wise, and knowing what to say to people and how to say it. In other words, being a ”real” woman and showing dignity, respect, class, and having tact. Not feeling like you have to be and dress half naked to be something that you’re not suppose to be.

You should read the full article before you dissect things. The interviewer asked her questions about her family (dad). It was similar to “did her parents (father) push her into the music industry and take away her childhood, like the Jacksons. She has never given a public comment about any one; therefore, the reporter tried to bait her. Now, I see why she is so careful about what she says in interviews not to be perfect, but for things like this that are taken the wrong way. If the Jacksons are so concerned about how the public views them (and I love Janet), they should have never agreed for a movie to be made, hell or books. By the way, La Toya and La Tavia left the group and Beyonce was devastated (read the articles). Every time you hold your breath for someone to fail. God will make sure they do not. LOL

Beyonce, go away for a while. You were hot when you were a team as “Destiny’s Child”. But then again, was it really destiny that you would end up being the only one remaining out of everyone in the whole group ? You are on your own now, but I think everyone has just about had enough of you. Some claim you are a “Triple Threat”, my question is in what ? You can’t act at all and the only reason you are even cast is because of your so-called career and of course your wigs and the fact that you are light skinned and considered a celebrity. Those ppor little girls who look up to you and your music. What message are you really sending out to them, especially the way you dress and your gyrating sexual moves. And then you are trying to tell the whole world that your message is to try and empower women! In just exactly what way Beyonce ? In empowering them to use their bodies sexually or in a sexual manner to get ahead or make money like you do? Seriously, take a break and go and give your folks some grand children or something. I think people now are looking for something fresh, something with class, and something timeless.A breath of fresh air, because you have suffocated us enough. Everyone comes and goes and you won’t be the last one. Or just change your attitude and come up with something totally different. And tell your Zombie looking sister, she needs to wise up. No idea who she thinks she is but she needs a career of her own, and should stop piggybacking or maybe concentrate on being a real mom.
Cheers…

That comment about the jacksons was not polite.
Janet jackson is a mega icon and will always be.
Im not a fan of beyonce but so what if she went to private school and she lives upper class, what does that mean? There are million and millions of people who are upper class big deal. I understand someone having success and fame but you don’t talk down about others. She may not have meant to hurt anyone, but it was still uncalled for. Solange’s remark was uncalled for as well. Solange go to college, please do your self and the unites states a favor and find a new career. You can’t sing or dance if your life depended on it. Your personality is all wrong to top it off, your fiesty and your obnoxious.

Despite their problems, the bottom line is that the Jackson family commands more respect in the industry than the Knowles ever will. I think we can all recognize this as fact. Those comments were out of line and these women need to be put in their place. I think Beyoncé and her sister Solange demonstrated that they have no class. Money can’t buy that. Janet came out with a style fresh and new that can’t be duplicated. Do I even have to talk about her famous brother (May he rest in peace)? All Beyoncé does is steal concepts and ideas from other artists.

Well see the problem is Beyonce you have maintained a private image. You never speak badly of people. I think you would have to be in the Jackson’s family to understand what they went through. Just because it may seem that Joe used his children to get out of a bad situation doesnt mean that is what happened. Since you never really give a comment about things people were shocked to hear you say this. You are very talented. But yet every family has problems. I believe its not what you said its how you said it. What god giveth he can take it away. I think you owe the Jacksons an apology. Why? Because is someone of your stature made this comment about your family especially with your dad having the affair it would hurt you. You were wrong but yet that comment reflects who you really are and not the image you display.

You all really need to look at the big picture- what pop / rap/ and r&b women and now men don’t have to show some skin and dance sexy. They all do- unless these people wouldn’t pay attn. Did you forget about the Superbowl or Janet posing w/ a man’s hand’s on her boobs- they’re entertainers! They make money because we support them. Light skin / or dark why does that matter- be proud our pop and r&b princesses are black. If your not proud of that look at yourself b/c we all have to look appealing to be on TV and music- it sells- get over it. The modeling,sports industry, commercials do it too! Why be so rude about a comment – if you gone talk that shit behind the keyboard make sure you bad engough to back that shit up in person- quit bloggin’ about others and look at you cashflow and life- and see where you stand- DUMB FUCKS!

I think that Beyonce is just Simple! The poor child should only be allowed to sing and that’s it any thing regarding interviews and public relations she should only give out prepared statements. It is obvious to me that she is not the brightest and has a tendency to look like a deer in head lights when she is interviewed so I think for future reference her PEOPLE should keep her public speaking engagements at 0. As for Solange she is treated like a red head step child by her parents her own mother is only seen with Beyonce never with her and for the family to own a clothing line Solange is seen in public quite often looking a HOT MESS!! So from all of us who know the real Jackson Legacy…Sorry Ms. Jackson..For Real.

If it wasn’t for women like Mrs. Jackson you wouldn’t have a career. There is no contest between you and the real black women in the music business, ms. beyonce you can’t stand toe to toe with them, you know everything you have has been a business deal, you didn’t actual earn the popularity it was brought.
