What makes me so angry though is that she'll probably win Best Original Song for that mediocre excuse for a song "Listen" just based on the film's momentum.

I seriously hope someone else comes along with a better song.

^No comment for you.

Also... people need to stop this made up thing that Beyonce hates gay people.

Knowles also makes it clear that her strict religious upbringing never made her turn against gay men and women, despite the church's opinion that homosexuals are abhorrent to God.

She explains: "I was raised by my uncle who passed away with AIDS a couple of years ago. He was my mother's best friend.

"He brought me to school every day. He helped me buy my prom dress. He made my clothes with my mother. He was like my nanny. He was my favourite person in the whole world.

"I never mixed Christianity with how I felt (about him). I am about faith and spirituality more so than religion, doing right by others and not judging."

The singer insists she'd have no problems if a son of hers was to come to her with a gay confession: "(I'd say) I love him for the person he is with no expectations back."

^Just to let YOU know....

I am huge Mariah Carey fan, but it's a JOKE to insinuate that she is still the best vocalist in the game, because she isn't.

As a matter of fact, it was reported that on the Emancipation of Mimi (even tho I LOVE this CD!), producers had to use the computer tricks and things to blend her vocals together because she couldn't hit the notes anymore. And this is clearly true, seeing as she struggles to perform live, especially when singing We Belong Together.

Christina Aguilera and Beyonce BOTH are better vocalists than Mariah right now. But it doesn't change Mariah's legacy as one of the greatest of ALL time.

Re: The star of Dreamgirls is Beyonce.........according to Beyonce......

Have u ever seen her live? -- and not on TV. From what I have witnessed she has no problem hitting the same old notes.

I strongly disagree with your opinion that Christina and Beyonce are better vocalist than Mariah.

Many people that have been to Mariah's most recent tour have stated that she lipped about 80% of the material.

On that, I'd have to agree with you, Miss Bitter.

Amen. She's been lip synching to tracks "live" for the last 10 years.

Beyoncé Denies Rumors of Jennifer Hudson Feud
MONDAY DECEMBER 04, 2006 01:00PM EST
By Amy Longsdorf and Stephen M. Silverman

You can put those rumors of a feud on the set of Dreamgirls to rest. Beyoncé Knowles says that she and her costar Jennifer Hudson, of American Idol fame, didn't have bad blood while filming the movie.

"I knew that the character that I played wasn't the star," Knowles, 25, told reporters on Saturday about knowing full well that her Diana Ross-esque role of Deena Jones was less meaty than Hudson's part as Effie White – a part that is already getting Hudson Oscar buzz. "She wasn't the underdog. She didn't have the struggle and the pain and the dramatic scenes that Effie had, and I was fine with that."

Taking the role was about proving herself as an actress. "I'm already a star. I already have nine Grammys. Everyone knows I can sing," Knowles said. "I did this because I wanted people to know that I can act and I can play someone so different from myself."

So, what about the rumors of jealousy towards Hudson? "It's really unfortunate that everyone is saying I'm jealous of Jennifer. It hurts my heart because it's so clichéd. … They're saying that I'm mad when I knew going into this that I was playing Deena," said Knowles. "Because I'm a star they just automatically assume that I'm not humble enough to sit down and take a back seat, which I am."

But the R&B star did admit that she would have liked to have sung Effie's song, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," a showstopper that, in large part, helped get Jennifer Holliday a Tony Award for best actress for the original 1981 Broadway version of Dreamgirls.

"I mean," said Knowles, "I wish I could've gained 20 pounds and played Effie."

Asked if she'd really have packed on the weight for the part, Knowles said, "Yes. I absolutely would have, but Bill (Condon, the movie's writer-director) didn't even believe that I could be Deena. So imagine if I would've said, 'Bill, I want to be Effie.' "

And Knowles has high praise for Hudson's portrayal of Effie. "Jennifer Hudson had such a pressure, first of all, never being in a film and never have done an album and still having to live up to those expectations," said Knowles. "She did incredible."

Re: The star of Dreamgirls is Beyonce.........according to Beyonce......

beyonce is sweet, can actually sing and is majorly successful. she's probably gonna be the only person in history to have a number one single, album and movie simultaneously when "dreamgirls" comes out yet she's despised...now, bitches like paris hilton and madonna are known to be major bitches, they can't sing or barely sing, can't sell an album to save their lives or in madonna's case can no longer sell albums yet they're worshipped by the fags on here...i smell a racial double standard. sadly mostly from the black men on this site...we're certainly well known for tearing down our own when they get "too succesful". bullshit slave mentality.

i'm biracial and yet it's clear as day to me anyway...sad you all can't see it.

Nope. Sorry. I hate Paris, Madge AND Beyonce. And it has nothing to do with race.

Chill out Rosie O'Donnell.

Damn.

I don't get how it's "racial" when people are "tearing down" light skinned, blonde weaved Beyonce and BUILDING UP curvy, brown skinned Jennifer Hudson?

Stop. Think. THEN start whining... I still love you.

listen nipple boy...jennifer hudson is a nobody...the more apt comparison is between the treatment of those who've "made it"...the stupid bitches like lindsay lohan, paris, madonna etc. vs beyonce here...those who are marginal talents and yet are worshipped while beyonce who can sing is torn down. you telling me that a beyonce doesn't have to tip toe around her fans more so than these other bitches...if she did half the shit they did she'd be over. i mean look at the viciousness in this thread towards a girl who everyone knows is a sweet girl but you all imagine she is really evil inside, as if you all can read minds...all beyonce is guilty of is being a success and not showing her twat publicly.

now i'm done whining. and like whitney "crack is wack" houston said, i'll always love you too.

Yes. Jennifer is a "nobody" that has outshined a "star". Jennifer is a "nobody" that will possibly win an Oscar while the "star" is counting her one Grammy she'll win for B'Day by default.

Next!
