The Golden Globe Awards, Next The Oscars

[AKA2D '91]

A few minutes ago (at the hairdresser's), someone mentioned that if B was gonna appear on Oprah, she was to perform "Listen". This is all rumor, but I would not be surprised if it is true.

She can't read music? Writing words/lyrics has nothing to do with being able to read notes etc. She may not be able to read a music sheet, but I'm sure she can READ words that turn into lyrics. LOL

That rumor must have been valid because she did perform "Listen" when she was on Oprah two weeks ago.

Yeah. That was the rebroadcast. We wondered why Jennifer didn't perform and thought maybe it had something to do with waiting until the GG or the Oscars to do so. But, the rumor seems like it would accurate.

You didn't misunderstand - we just may not agree. The award is suppossed to be for creating the best original song not for singing it - otherwise it would be named best performance of a song. Look at how the other nominees are listed. The girl can't read or write music so why are they fronting on the credits? They might have been able to get away with it if they listed her as a contributor to the lyrics only. I just get tired of all these young "singers" who cant' be bothered to learn their craft. James Brown death reminded me how short the artist of today really are compared to generations past (now his personal life was a mess but he was a musician).

Nooooo. I was posting about you saying Prince "outting" Beyonce because she could not read music, therefore questioning her writing ability.

[SummerChild]

Stardust, what about those that play by ear but don't read music? Does anyone know if Beyonce plays instruments?

I don't know. It seems to me that one can pick up any cd and see someone on their talking about songwriter and I bet that many of those folk don't *read* music. Isn't part of the song that is written the *words*? Maybe she wrote the words.

Who knows,

ETA: She cried? Poor thing. How horrible to have the whole world see you lose your composure. That must have been hard.

ETAA: I just heard Jennifer Hudson's rendition of that Jennifer Holliday song. She ripped it! It just seems like all the best talent comes out of the Chi. LOL. Ok, shameless plug.

Ya'll know that Bianca, or BeBe or Beyonce', or whatever her name is, is a whack singer. She falls into the same category as does, a Janet Jackson. Non-singing, no talent, just the look and the attitude, now, Ms. Hudson on the other hand did the damn thang, and, Ms. Noni Juice wasn't bad either.

Now I am no Beyonce fan, but the girl can sing pretty well. Every time I've heard her sing live (Oprah, etc) she tore it up!

Is she a patch on Jennifer Hudson? Nope- not only can JHud SANG but she can emote- which Beyonce can't do- I never get a lot of emotion out of her songs.

Beyonce was lip synching on Oprah, but she can sing.

The Golden Globe winners USUALLY win the Oscar, or are at least favorites to win.

I disagree. B-day had me trippin' for awhile. I remember hearing Resentment and just ballin'.....I got so pissed, I felt that song so hard....then I realized "I've never been cheated on, wth am I so emotional for????"

Watching Dreamgirls, I cried at "And I Am Telling You" and I cried at "Listen." But I like "Listen" better when Beyonce sings it than when "Deena" sings it. It was good in the movie, but off the chain on Oprah. There was a HUGE difference.

I'm just happy Jennifer Hudson won!

Beyonce is a very talented singer. Her song writing sucks, but she can really sing.
