I dunno, he can barely speak clearly...

This is exactly who I got on to post about. Everytime it's "ten minutes to the hour, every hour", I pray that Sway isn't doing the news so that he won't embarrass himself. Po' baby.

Ya'll are so right about Sway!! I feel so bad for him because he can't talk and his interviews suck!! Now, as much as I love 106th and Park, why can't AJ read?

I agree with everyone's posts so far, but this one is MY personal choice. Free can get annoying as hell sometimes, but AJ is just so......UUGGGHHHHH!!! Its like he never does anything that isn't scripted, and he doesn't even do that stuff well!!!

And I can't stand tattoo-boy on MTV2......Sway may have potential, but he really needs to work on it.

LOL. Why? ALL she did was sing.

I think that Halle did well in Losing Isaiah.

Just because a movie is a box office FLOP does not or should not take away from the acting merits of an individual. Conversely, if a movie does well, that does not mean the acting was terrific.

let me get my objections out of the way first:

i move that n'sync, halle, carson and brandy be taken off the list. in my opinion they are good at what they do

now, these folks need to take it to the house:
the entire cast of saved by the bell
downtown julie brown, wubba wubba wubba?
jessie camp, the first mtv vj contest winner
free AND aj, non-reading, talking over each other, butt kissing no-talents
nelly and the lunitics, how you gon make an entire career from nursary rhymes and sit-com jingles? and what the hell does ei mean?
o-town, a made for tv boy band?
jennifer, i refuse to call her j-lo giving her anymore fake street cred- since when does having a big butt and a black boyfriend make you talented? i am so tired of the mainstream embracing african-american qualities in people who are not
bobby brown, was not the king of new edition how can he be the king of r and b?
the cast of belly, dmx did rad his lines while nas sounded like he was sight reading his
i could go on...

I agree with DSTbrat. N'Sync needs to be immediately off the list. I think people don't give them a fair chance.

LEAVE N'SYNC ALONE!!! Cause this is one soror that be feelin some "Dirty Pop", "This I Promise You", "Bye,Bye" and their other COUNTLESS Hits...to many to name

However you may add ABC (Another Bad Creation)...remember them? That name fit them perfectly.

RAY-J - One question: how can you be a thug and Brandy's brother all at once? If your mom wouldn't even let her wear a half-top, why in the world would she let you smoke, drink, and curse? ** In my most ghetto and unclassy voice, neck rolling and all** Come on now, you ain't even hardly fooling nobody

NELLY - I am tired of that man singing all of his songs to me, I thought he was a rapper

The Entire Cast of the Film Belly - That has to be the worst acting I have ever seen. Why does DMX sound like he is rapping all of his lines?

TYRESE in Baby Boy - Honey, you can carry a tune, but trust me, you will never win an Oscar

LIL ROMEO - Self-explanatory

MISS LAURA on ComicView - She is not the least bit funny during her standup. And why is she always back in the kitchen, but I never see any signs that she's been cokking? No food, steam, dirty dishes, Nothin. What is her purpose?

Just wanted to stick up for Brandy- her last cd was bangin! Dislike her for her FAKE @&& personality if you have to, but the girl does have some singing talent- note, I said SINGING. She can not act at all! It's painful to watch, she actually hurts my eyes.

The rest of your list is COMPLETELY on point.

SeriousAKA · #39 07-23-2001, 10:17 AM

dstbrat....do you mean Saved By The Bell with Zach, Lisa and Screech or Saved By the Bell - The New Class? Saved By The Bell was my favorite show!!!!

Why am I watching Passions right now? The blind priest who can fight evil can't even do a wedding convincingly!!!

lovele1978 · #40 07-23-2001, 10:19 AM

Brandy - the girl can sing, it's her acting that is suspect
Jah Rule - i think the industry ran out of thugs and he was a studio creation. If your gonna be a rapper then rap, but PLEASE stop trying to sing!
Ms. Cleo - the 1-900 wannabe Jamaican tarot card reader... GETS ON MY LAST NERVE!! That is the worst accent I have ever heard and it really offends me!!

AJ from 106 and Park - serves absolutely no puropose whatsoever!! He has no personality.
Lil Romeo - Tell your father that not everything is genetic.

That's all for now, but I am sure that I will think of some more

BlueReign · #41 07-23-2001, 10:51 AM

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 · #43 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.

Dionne Warick

.

I agree 100% about Will Smith.

No one has mentioned Keith Sweat! I am sorry, HE CANNOT SING!!

Lil' Romeo...UGGHHH!! WHY?

Comedian Flex...he sucked at comedy, now he is scary as an actor.

Shemar Moore...I am still wondering why he won't get that tooth fixed!?!

Golden Brooks from Girlfriends and Linc's...Is it me or does she need to eat?

Also "Lynn" (don't know her name. It's Asia something or other) from girlfriends...How did she get an acting job???

Virtuous Woman · #45 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.
