Whitney Houston (can sing, can't act) Exhale would have been better if another actress played her part. I would even rather have seen Robin Givens or anybody else play that role.

Janet Jackson (can't sing, can act) From Good Times to Poetic Justice, I think she's a great actress and a very good dancer.

Now Chi, what's up with this anti-Halle thing? Halle can do anything!! From business exec to round-the-way girl to a serious crackhead. Not many actresses have that wide range of talent.

Oh, and Pam Grier has come a long way since the blaxploitation era but she could use some acting lessons.

Let's not forget Aaliyah in Romeo Must Die. Of course, Beyonce takes the cake with her pitiful attempt in Carmen, but I don't want to sound redundant...

Others I think who lack acting talent:

Any member of TLC

Any cast member of Dif'rent Strokes

Taye Diggs



Professor 07-23-2001 01:31 PM

I'm sooooo glad Janet Jackson was added to the list.

Tyra Banks is no great beauty. She looks good but I have seen better looking women. And what about this dark skined young lady from Africa (I think) with the natural cut. She does not even have good features but is in every fashion show and magazine even Jet.

I don't like Diana Ross. She should stop singing.

I agree 100% about Will Smith.

No one has mentioned Keith Sweat! I am sorry, HE CANNOT SING!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Lil' Romeo...UGGHHH!! WHY? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Comedian Flex...he sucked at comedy, now he is scary as an actor. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Shemar Moore...I am still wondering why he won't get that tooth fixed!?! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Golden Brooks from Girlfriends and Linc's...Is it me or does she need to eat? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Also "Lynn" (don't know her name. It's Asia something or other) from girlfriends...How did she get an acting job??? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif


Virtuous Woman 07-23-2001 01:36 PM

Whitney Houston, DMX, Beyonce, and Usher should all stick to their music and leave acting alone.

Mya, Lil Romeo, and Michelle from Destiny's Child should maybe try acting because music isn't their forte.

I love this topic!

Whoever said Cleo was so right! I hate that chic and her sometimes Jamaican accent and her sometimes ghetto one!

112-I hate them. I love their songs but that one dude, I don't know his name needs to stop screaming and think he can ad-lib on every song

Britany Spears-gets on my damn nerves!

Pink-What's her purpose?

Whitney Houtson- she can't act and now because of her recent "crack addiction" her singing is suspect also!

Ron Isley-now I'm not saying that he can't sing because I'm a big Isley Bros fan but taht new song, Contagious, it's to the dogs! I'm tired of the hip-hoperas!


dstbrat 07-23-2001 04:18 PM

ok yall are trippin
leave 112 alone, they are my boys!
and janet's acting is horrific her best work was in good times and the 'again' video (poetic justice was painful)
now on the mtv tip, monica was pitiful in 'love story' that was scary. i was really rooting for her to do a good job, but she let me down in a bad way
let's see who can go way back, remember sherry carter on video soul? she was awful. i loved donnie, but she had to go!

I am really loving this topic, because I see alot of my thoughts echoed in the responses, and all this time I thought it was just me. Here's my short list, for now

1.Tyrese-they should have left him on the bus.

2.The Brat-Her acting is horrific

3. Jennifer Lopez-Nuf said

4. R-Jay- He needs to get a trade or something. He just irks me with his wanna be thug little self.

5. Who ever said Trick Daddy and crew I agree 100%.

6. The ENTIRE cast of Girlfriends

7. Britney Spears-Janet she will never be.

8. Silk the Shocker-Spare me please stop acting if that what he wants to call it.

9. The little boy with the big ears on the Smart Guy

Amen!!!!! Amen!!!! Amen!!!!! But wait....Janet, I love Janet (except Poetic Justice). Does anyone remember the Different Strokes episode where Willis had the band and they wanted Kimberly to sing but Willis wanted Charlene to sing? Anyway, since Mr. D was funding the group, his idea was to have all three sing....Ebony and Ivory! Funny, sad, and horendous all at the same time!

O-yea...Spyder Games is the bleep!!

1. Ray Jay- He has got to be one of the most annoying people on TV.

2. That dude from 112- He just irks me. Makes me wanna smack 'im upside the head.

3. Lil' Romeo- I'm just amazed at what money can do for someone with NO talent.

4. J-Lo- Sounds like someone singing in the shower

5. That dude that hangs w/ Busta Rhymes- I don't know who he is or what he does; but for some reason whenever we see Busta, we see this guy.

6. Julia Roberts- She aint all that.

7. EDDIE GRIFFIN- LAWD!!! He is SO unfunny. His stand-up act was funny the first time I saw it in 1993 and seriously does he have to end EVERY routine with his Michael Jackson bit?

I have to say, I thought I was the only one who got hooked on Spyder Games and Undressed, when CLEARLY they have the worst wannabe (cuz they clearly are NOT) actors and actresses on the tube.

I can't believe no one has named this one, though: Will Smith. Yes, he's smart, but honestly, I don't see him winning any Oscars any time soon. I'm not saying he hasn't been in some good movies, I'm just sayin', I don't see him winning any Oscars any time soon.

The goldtoothed southern rapper camp: Lil Wayne and their crew, Master P and his crew, Trick Daddy and his crew. I'm not sayin' they don't have catchy songs, I'm just saying they are rappers, NOT lyricists. Anybody can rap and rhyme. Give me some lyrics.

That's all I can think of right now.

But, you took it back to name all of those people that are just oh so HATED!
Especially that Jessie fool.
Why in Gods green earth did they let that crazy man on television.
Belly was the worst movie in the world, I think rappers should stay away from movie scripts "back away and put it down...slowly".
Beyonce should back away from the scripts and put them down...fast.
Wow, someone else said Mc Brains, lmao
remmeber Oochie Coohie, do you?
I think that Brandy is the black version of Britney Spears except that she can't dance. At least Britney can dance!!!
At least Britney sells soft drinks!
I still think she is a horrible singer, just like her black sister Brandy.

blueberi1920 07-24-2001 01:28 AM

I love janet Jackson, but I have to agree she just can't sing, she's always whispering but I still listen to her music

J-LO needs to go. everytime I hear her or see her I just say "Uugh go away" she should've just been a dancer

Lil romeo- no explanation needed.

Ja Rule- I'm just wondering what he's trying to be a rapper or a singer, when I know I'll let you know if he belongs on this list.
98 degrees, they like Lil' Romeo just came in when some similar was around, no real talent just riding on someone else's coattails

NELLY I can't stand him, and he's everywhere too. He had the nerve to help his talented friends (St. Lunatics) get a contract too.

Foxy Brown - eeewww!

Talentless, perhaps, but I did like MC Brains' song Oochie Coochie. But he is from Cleveland, so I'm biased, lol. He had another song I liked, too. Can't think of it right now, though.

If I'm not mistaken Damone Dash is the President of Rockafella Records. If he not the president, he does hold an executive position with the company.
