If you hated Beyoncé before...
 
To piggyback off the "I-Hate-Beyoncé" turn the "Janet" thread was taking... read this interview Sister 2 Sister conducted with Farrah Franklin shortly after her "departure" from DC. Tell me what you think. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

The interview sounds totally believeable to me. That is a shame she had to ednure that craziness. She should say goodbye to the bad rubbish!

They are just sad! I hope Farrah (or, shall I say Destiny) does well. Has anyone heard anything more about the other girls' new group?

vanda 03-16-2001 11:44 AM

Destiny's Child will be on Queen Latifah today to discuss all the bad blood and publicity between the members. I wonder if it's a rerun. Has anyone seen this show?

WenD08 03-16-2001 12:02 PM

playing Devil's Advocate for a second, after reading the article, shouldn't the anger be directed at Mr. and Mrs. Knowles vs. Beyonce?
they seem very "stage mom"-like. now i am irritated with the remaining members based on the VIBE interview but i feel like the Knowles are the real problem.

I was thinking the same thing! They seem to be the root of most of the evil in that group. Telling someone to tan? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif I had heard that and thought it was rumor. I'm very upset to see it in print (S2S and Vibe)



AKAtude 03-16-2001 02:24 PM

Maybe the Knowles are the biggest part of the problem, Beyonce has a mind and a mouth of her own. If she sees her parents aren't treating people right, she should say something about it. I know they are her parents and all, but she could help make things better if she wanted to.

Remember in the interview Farrah said they claimed to be vocally stronger after she left? Seems they wouldn't keep adding members who couldn't sing... they stated that the only reason they added Farrah is because she favored LaTavia. Also, there was an MTV special called "The Road Back Home" or something like that.. and LeToya was always a singer. However, Kelly seemed to be the lead singer at the time.

Aren't they coming out with an album? I guess they're not that tone deaf, huh?

I just have to say, although Beyonce's attitude is STANK, her body is on point.

CulturedPearl 03-16-2001 04:37 PM

I read that article a while back and if what she says is true, then that "group" truly has issues. However, at least they are letting Beyonce's children sing. I was surprised to hear Michelle sing on the "Survivor" single and on the Janet Jackson MTVicon special. Hopefully we'll hear more of the other members who actually have pretty good voices. And just to play devil's advocate again, can you really blame Michelle for just going with the flow? The group is mad successful. Why would you jeopardize that? I'm not saying it's right but I can't be mad at her for riding the wave for as long as she can because we all know it's going to end soon when Beyonce decides she doesn't need them anymore. Just my $.08 worth.

You must have not seen those thunder thighs before! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif I saw her performing on a show wearing a short skirt and I was surprised she let herself be seen in public like that! I hope she has toned up since then.

I have "noticed" her thighs b4 but they have been looking more toned lately.

Okay, okay....maybe it's just her stomach that's on point.

Ooh, y'all done did it now...I just have to respond. Being from/in Houston, these tired radio stations are always hyping those girls like they are God'd gift to music...I firmly believe Queen Beyonce can NOT sing, AND I am glad the other girls are starting to be heard(even though Michelle doesn't sound very good on "Survivor"). I read that article in S2S back in December, and what Farrah said made so much sense...I just don't understand why Beyonce's parents have to act like the stage parents from hell...but oh well, their day is coming...God don't like ugly!!!!

Have you guys heard there new song? I think the name of it is "I'm a Survivor." When I first heard the lyrics, I wondered if she/they were sending a "cute" little message to the other members of the group. She says stuff like she's a survior and that she's going to make it. She also says that she won't put "whoever" down. She won't talk about this person on the internet, the radio, the magizines etc.... She also says that she's much stronger and richer. If you haven't heard it, check it out.

Has anyone seen the episode of MTV's "Cribs" when the house of Destiny's Child was featured. Notice - the house belongs to Beyonce and her parents!!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif I mean the other two members have their own bedrooms, but so what???? When the fit hit the shan (y'all know what I mean), those two will either have to find a "crib" of their own or move back in with their parents. What a doggone shame!

Nope! That's not on point either! even though her stomach isn't totally flabby, she has a small jiggly pouch that gives the impression that she's had a child or something. Anyone in here with children know how you get the baby pouch. I'm not saying she has , it just looks like it. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

The Queen Demon (Beyonce') claims that she has no hard feelings about the latter members, but you should read her interview, and Back-Up Singer #1 (Kelly) is just as bad. Michelle just seemed clueless-she agreed to everything the original members said, and she was like why should I complain if I'm getting paid...can you say brainwashed/suck-up/kiss-a$$???

I know that the pay is good, but I will never let anyone put me down to bring up another member of a so-called group. Group means more than one, not just Beyonce'!

Well here's another reason to hate Ms. Beyonce. Check out this article from Entertainment Weekly:...

Quote:

Recently L'Oreal decided that Destiny's Child singer Beyoncé Knowles, 19, was worth it -- worth a big bucks, five year endorsement contract, that is, following in the footsteps of such stars as Andie McDowell, Heather Locklear, and Jennifer Lopez.


WHO: Beyoncé

WHAT: L'Oreal

HER WORDS: The ads haven't come out yet, but Beyoncé can't stop saying L'Oreal's name. ''This is the icing on the cake,'' she told the Houston Chronicle. ''I can't wait to open a magazine and see myself in L'Oreal!'' You can bet those ads will be everywhere come May, when the new Destiny's Child album, ''Survivor,'' hits stores.

WHAT THE PROS SAY: ''Beyoncé speaks to young women, and her look is very hip and trendy,'' says Julia Chance, beauty editor of Honey magazine. ''If L'Oreal's goal is to reach a younger audience, they'll try to work with her existing look.'' But with Destiny's Child getting more airtime than President Bush these days, are we going to be burnt on Beyoncé? ''I don't think people are tired of her, because she's about to morph into a new direction, which will keep people interested,'' says Chance. ''She's got a solo album and an acting career in the works. And in this industry, all press is good press.''

BETTER SINGER OR SELLER?: Beyoncé can do no wrong. She's golden -- unless L'Oreal dyes her hair bright orange or Child's other two singers, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, announce they've got ''creative differences'' with her.
As if we weren't already sick of her, NOW she's gonna be in magazine ads all over the place! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Classy_Diva5 03-19-2001 02:53 PM

Did anyone catch Queen Latifah on Friday? The Demons were on the show, and (for once), the background singers got a chance to sing. To me, Kelly sounded terrible, but I think that Michelle has a very pretty voice.

The Mama Demon Tina Knowles was there as well, talking about how she designs the clothes for her daugher and the other two members of the group-Beyonce' was quiet the whole time her mother spoke (for once).

I remember a while back, Tina said that she didn't want them dressing like hoochies, but look at the stuff that they wear now! I used to like their image, but some of these outfits have been risque' (the Demons will be making 20 this year)...

this girl will be playing the starring role in an mtv hip-hop version of carmen jones. she will star opposite mekhi pfifer and the movie will be narrarated by da brat. i smell STANK! if any of you caught the queen latifah show or the mtv icons special, you would have noticed that beyonce (now, that is just as ghetto as kelandria and tanetria) does not speak well. she needs to go to finishing school. i don't know if anyone else caught it, but she kept making this wierd noise on the mtv special that i guess was supposed to be a giggle. this movie is sure to be A HOT MESS!!

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind

Carmen Jones is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE movies. I've honestly seen it more than 25 times!!! Now to have Beyonce' starring as Carmen, I agree, it's sure to be SUMTHIN". And yes, Miss Girl needs a little polish!!!!!
