ok, why was I watching the TRL making the tour(Destiny Child, Nelly, 3LW, Dream, Eve, Jessica Simpson, etc) and I'm watching it and enjoying it..until they show me the host of the TRL tour.....IT'S SOLANGE!Beyonce's sister! HELL...NO!

She's just smiling telling the camera how honored she is to introduce everyone, why is a 15-16 year old introducing big acts? Man her daddy is pimp I tell ya! lol!


QTE

The TRL version of Bootylicious goes, and I quote...
"I don't think they ready for that jelly for them boys"

I don't know how much more ghetto you can possibly get, but I know I wasn't ready for the jelly, so doubt "them boys" are.

Have you all seen the Target Commercial advertising their new release? Love http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gifestiny or something? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Anybody planning to see the TRL tour?

I am sorry, but who in the world is Solange?

She is a splitting image of Beyonce. What's the scoop about her?

NEvermind

She is Beyonce's little sister. She has been a dancer for Beyonce and dem and she filled in when Kelly got hurt taking over Kelly's singing duties. She is supposedly putting out an album on her daddy's label Music World Music. He has put them kids to work fo sho! (did someone in a previous post call him a pimp?)

I called him pimp girl! Cause I think he is pimpin his children. I'm sorry, but let kids be kids! I also think Ms.Norwood pimped her kids also. I remember when she said in a VIBE article bragging about how she could sell her kids to anybody(Brandy and Ray-J mama)


QTE

Oh Lawd, please help my Soror! um um um

Okay, so I'm 19 and I watch the Disney Channel. ANYWAY... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

I was watching and there was a commercial advertising a new show coming on this fall called "The Proud Family." Solange Knowles sings the theme song, with help of course, from DC. They showed them in the studio, and what shocked me is that Solange sounds about a million times better than Beyoncé!! Not great, mind you, but better that Beyoncé. I don't know if it was just me, but I was like.. dayum! Anybody else seen this?

Ms. Norwood is a soror?

RETRACTED STATEMENTS
 

Had to bring this thread to the top....

I am hereby retracting MOST of my hatin' comments about Beyonce. I went out a got her CD yesterday and quite frankly, girlfriend truly is putting it down! The CD is excellent. Baby Boy and Crazy in Love are my JAMS. She has a duet with Luther Vandross on there that took me back.

The only comment that I cannot retract is about her weave. I realize that she wears a weave to avoid the constant styling stress to her natural hair. Her natural hair is really quite nice. I just wish she would stay away from the "horse-hair" weave look.

Other than that, I have to say that this is one hard-working, determined sister. She's been that way since she was a young girl and at her age, her determination and drive has paid off. This sista is paid. Plus, she really can sing and write her own music.

So, enough said...I can't believe the day has come when I can actually say this, but I have to give credit where it's due.

Re: RETRACTED STATEMENTS
 

I have to agree with you 100%.....I really like her CD as well. one of my FAV songs is *Speechless* Homegirl has some SERIOUS skills. I also LOVE the tribute to her daddy!!!! I never hated on her before, cause I always thought she could blow. I really didn't care too much for her attitude when they were going through the DC drama........But honestly,,,I feel that Destiny's child would not be where they're at without Beyonce'. I was just Disappointed when I found out she was with Jay Z....I thought she had more class than that, but that’s just my HO

Re: RETRACTED STATEMENTS
 

I have to agree with what you said. Beyonce is one HARD working woman. BTW, today is her 22nd birthday.

Re: RETRACTED STATEMENTS
 

As usual, Prayerfull you are on point (don't you hate it sometimes when other people are right and you don't want to admit it! :p)..I have been feeling like this lately also. I must retract some of my Beyonce-hating comments (notice, I said "SOME", LOL), as I have always believed that she is talented and can sing (she still hasn't proved to me that she can act though), and her public speaking skills have improved also (but they need further improvement)...BUT, as Prayerfull stated, she needs to find a better weave haristyle...b/c the ones she wears now are SO NOT kickin' it!!!! It's like she tries to look white (I saw her on the cover of Star or some tabloid mag in the store while I was waiting in line, and boy, did she look almost white!) and clearly she is not...

I like Beyonce but it looks like she really struggles with her weight and you all know she'd balloon up if she didn't have the money for a personal trainer.

-Rudey

What makes you say that Rudey? I think she does a great job maintaining her weight. and wouldn't we all be little if we could afford a personal trainer to keep us in check?! ;)

I have to give it to Beyonce too, because she's doing it all: she's writing her own music, singing it, performing it (she does a great job dancing, unlike ASHANTI!), she's acting, in commercials, etc. She's doing everything and I am proud of her. And I am feeling Baby Boy too! That song is NICE!

Holla...

Sorry..
 

but I'm still not feel that child.!!!:rolleyes:

I still think there is something very very fake about her. I can't put my finger on it. I'm just not there with her. I've never doughted her singing or writing ability, but the rest...I don't know..she just rubs me the wrong way.

HATER!!! lol J/K to treblk.

Re: her weight. Beyonce was always curvy. I like her better now b/c she looks like she is EATING!!!

REALLY diggin' her new CD..

I'll be that nikki:D But I have heard her CD and yes it's nice..it just won't make it to my collection.

Re: Sorry..
 

Echo that!

Well.....
 

Im not a Beyonce fan either, but I LOVE her CD!! She is very talented and I have to give credit where its due.

So, here it is...Kudos to Beyonce!! There...it wont happen again.

The only thing about her CD is its mostly about JayZ. Who wants to hear that. I mean the same with him, all he raps about nowadays is her. I mean, WE KNOW yall are together, but dayum!

Other than that....its cool!

Q

Have you all been reading about Beyonce lately in the magazines, ..... well if you haven't they are making all of these shocking comparisons between her and J.Ho from the hairstyles, fingernail polish down to the shoes and measurements. basically saying beyonce is trying to be like j.ho :eek:

Magazines are also talking about (not much though) Ashanti and how she is modeling off of Janet Jackson....

I did see the similarities though. :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, I'd have her walking bow-legged if I had the chance, but she's still gaining a couple pounds there.

-Rudey
--There's nothing wrong with it, I suppose.

All I'm sayin' is why are they swingin' from JLo's bra straps??? First Mariah is jealous, and now Beyonce wants to be like her? :rolleyes: GIVE ME A BREAK. Now, I'm not a Beyonce fan, but come on now, cut the games. Everybody don't wanna be Jenny from the block. That is so starting to get on my nerves. I wish she would retire and be gone. POOF!

Yes, I've read the same thing in Us magazine. Every once in a while they do an article on how Beyonce is morphing into J. Lo. The last one mentioned that Ashanti was doing the same.

Ok, I dont see how B is turning into Jennifer (I cant STAND J. Lo, that's so stupid, lol). One can sing, the other cant. End of comparison.. lol

Re: Well.....
 

EXACTLY: I don't understand WHY they don't just come out and say it already! :rolleyes:

Edited to add: I thought the magazines were trying to point out how J.Lo was trying to morph Ben into Puffy? Some magazine did a side-by-side pictorial to show the transformation.

Re: Re: Well.....
 

LOL. I would love to see that. But Ben-Lo is becoming more tan by the day.
:p

Let me put it this way about her CD.
 

I lost my Beyonce CD at the gym and I am in NO hurry to replace it. I only liked the first three songs. My aunt gave it to me because she is a fan, but disappointed by Beyonce's effort. I am a DC fan and love their music, but Beyonce's CD will just have to stay out my collection. I might down load the first three song to burn on my workout disc.

OFF THE CHAIN!

ACTUALLY BEYONCE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S IN THE BEST SHAPE SINCE HER CAREER. SHE GAINED A FEW POUNDS WHEN THAT JELLY SONG CAME OUT. BUT IF YOU WATCHED THE VMAs HER GUT IS SUPER TIGHT. SHE LOOKS LIKE A WOMAN NOW, NOT BONEY LIKE WHEN THE FIRST CAME OUT AND SHE GOT RID OF THAT JELLY. SHE LOOKS DAMN GOOD FOR REAL.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

oohh the horror of the image!!!! make it stop:eek: :eek: !!!

Re: Let me put it this way about her CD.
 

DID YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE ALBUM???? I MEAN LISTEN TO WHAT SHE'S SAYING. I LIKE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THAT SONG WITH OUTCAST. NUMBER 6 IS REALLY INSPIRING. 7 IS FOR ALL THOSE GUYS WHO CANT WAIT. I THINK ALL THE WOMEN ON THIS FORUM WHO ARE REALLY IN LOVE SHOULD LISTEN TO 12 IT'S SOOOO BEAUTIFUL. THE CHORUS SAYS

I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU
YOU SET ME FREE
I CANT DO THIS THING CALLED LIFE WITHOUT YOU HERE WITH ME
'CAUSE I'M DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE WITH YOU
I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU
JUST KEEP LOVING ME
THE WAY YOU LOVE YOU'RE LOVING ME

I AM IN LOVE AND IT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY BABY

THE SONG TO HER DADDY IS REALLY GOOD TOO.


I AINT GOIN FRONT I HAVE A BURNED COPY AND UNTIL RECENTLY I INTENDED ON BUYING THE CD. BUT THE ENTIRE JAMAICA IS BOYCOTTING HER AND JAY Z AND SINCE I AM JAMAICAN YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.....

YEP, I listened
 

Hey stop yelling at me:p. I am happy that you like the CD. I did listen to the whole CD and personally I just did not like it.

Re: Re: Let me put it this way about her CD.
 

I think I know what you are talking about.

I heard about what happened and I think there should have been a rumble because he was messing with Sean Pauls livelyhood. You just dont do things like that. Even if it wasnt music that they were talking about......still it was wrong for him to do that because the song that B and Sean Paul did together had nothing to do with JayZ. Bottom line: HE WAS WRONG!! IT WAS PETTY!!! GET OVA IT!!!

And BOO on her for not fighting back and telling him to back off. That was none of his business. :mad:

Q

If that aint what you talking about then....dont mind me. :p

Re: Re: Let me put it this way about her CD.
 

I know ...I know
I was in a Caribbean chat room when i heard about the boycott....I was also thinking of buying the album...cant do that now...but what they did to Sean Paul was messed up...mi naah go fi dat a tal...BUN FIRE FI JAY-Z.

educate me on what's going on between sean paul and jigga...

Apparently Jay-Z refused to share the stage with Sean Paul at the VMA's. He wanted to be the only artis performing with Beyonce' at the awards. See the article in the Innnn the news... thread here on AKA Ave.. It is about half way down page 10.
