I'm still not sure how I felt about the show. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/confused/aeh.gif There were some parts that I liked, and then there were some parts where I was like WTF. I agree that from what I have seen from Beyonce that she should not have had a hard time playing that kind of role, you know the vamp!! http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/evil/fork_off.gif

For the show as a whole, I'm still shaking my head because I am not really sure. But one thing I do know for sure, that Mekhi(sp)Phifer is FIONE!!!! http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/love/love.gif

Holla - 2001
KL

I watched the entire hip hopera and I must say I was quite surprised. I personally thought it was going to be about as good as hot trash and I expected the worse, but it wasnt half bad considering it was only about a hour and fifteen minutes. Ill make my criticism short and to the point:

1. The story line moved to fast in the beginning, there was not enough character development

2. I believe that the key to any movie is for the audience to be drawn into the story, I dont feel that it was accomplished given the limited time and the script.

3. The acting could have been better but its MTV so I cant expect to much

4. I could have done without seeing so much of Joy's behind.

With that aside I think Beyonce did a good job as Carmen, it could have been better but then again so could the script.

MICHELLE FINALLY SPEAKS! I read the interview in the latest Jet and Michelle does all the talking but you can tell she was coached on what to say.

Did anyone catch them on Saturday Night Live? I missed it but my friend said they were in a skit making fun of themselves. There were jokingly describing their roles in the group and Beyonce said something to the effect of her dad running everything and Michelle said something like, "and I'm just here." It was suppose to be a joke but it sounded pretty accurate to me.

On a five-star scale, I give it two stars. With all the hype surrounding it, I thought it was "must-see tv". I will not be tuning in for the re-runs. I do think Beyonce has some potential. I just wasn't feel the movie overall.

Michelle never sings an entire verse on anything on the album! Seems Beyoncé shares the spotlight a little bit, but only with Kelly. Michelle usually just gets a little bridge to sing. However, there's one song called "Can't Help Myself" that they cut from the album. Michelle sings the entire lead. You can find it on Napster or any other mp3 search thing, I'm pretty sure.

Yes, I think the album is garbage! The lyrics, beats, all of that are terrible! And I do think that Kelly kisses Beyonce's behind and so does Michelle, they all can sing but goodness! It seems that one a goup hits superstardom, then they put out terrible albums because they can do that and it'll sell, like 112, Puffy, DMX, and many others. What I say about Destiny's Child, it was good while it lasted, let's all just listen to our writing's on the wall and think about how well they used to be.

In the spirit of "NON-HATING"
Destiny Child (Beyonce's) Fans; I guess you all are in for a treat, they (she) seem to be EVERYWHERE...Beyonce was featured in the People Magazine's 50 of the World's Most Beautiful People Issue, the group will be on the cover on the next issue of Rolling Stone. All I have to say is that "I hope that they are doing MAJOR saving & investing" I would hate for them to meet the same fate as Former "Teen-Sensations" have...Don't yall remember Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, New Kids on the Block, The Boy's, The Jets.....Need I go on??

Has anyone ever thought about writing the group (NO Hate Mail :0) but really telling the group the concerns of their fans and putting to them some intelligent questions. As far as Michelle not talking (poor thang) some questions I feel she shouldn't answer anyway since she wasn't around when some of the group's major landmarks occured. I am feelin' the voice, I wonder why she didn't stay with United Harmony. Kelly does support Beyonce a lot, however I don't think she feels obligated to do so....I think that's just her personality...I mean she verbally rooted on United Harmony more than Beyonce. And as far as Beyonce not rooting on her bandmates that isn't true, she's always talking about how blessed the group is to have Michelle.

By the way I loved the album and I am a 100% fan.....and since I brought it up maybe I will send a letter to Destiny's Child citing some of the feelings of their fans. I tell you all if any response is given...though I doubt it with their schedule.

has anyone seen beyonce's feria commercial? it looks as if all that hair is hers, so why does she wear weave?

looks as if....LOOKS being the operative word http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

I had to share this....

It looks like were not the only ones to notice Beyonce's spotlight hogging. Today I was playing with my mom and my 4 year old niece, we were dancing and singing, etc. Then she told us..

"OK GET BACK! I'll be Beyonce and yall be the other two." LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

LMAO!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I don't know what anybody else thinks, but as far as I am concerned Beyonce has already gone solo. Kelly and Michelle better get on down to Jobs and Benefits and start looking. ALSO, in an essence Kelly and Michelle are homeless. They better grow up and start looking out for themselves. I'm not a big DC fan, but when I see what I consider talent I give credit where credit is due. One thing I now for sure is that MTV is the master at creating stars out of those who are necessarily stars, but products that can be marketed. And I think that is what is happening to DC and Nelly (I know I will get disputes on that observation). I also know that all is fair in the entertainment industry, but those plumber pants are sickening. It looks like her ass should stank. Foregive me for the vulgar language. But just as hard it was for me to say it is just as hard for me to loom at it. ewwww.

On a more "positive note", DC has donated $500,000 to their "home" church in H-town to build a recreation facility called DC3 or something to that effect.

I heard this on the radio this morning.
