Beyonce is talking about her family upbringing and why the Knowles are NOT the Jacksons in the new OK! magazine:
“I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar,” she recalls. “We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.”
I’ma leave that one alone. Check out some of Sasha Fierce’s outtakes from her GIANT magazine photoshoot:
Fiiiierce.
You can also check out her behind the scenes video at Giantmag.com.
More pics when you read the rest…
One of my fave photoshoots of hers so far.
The Randomness:
1. Excuse the earlier tech issues…things were getting optimized. Growing pains…

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:32 PM

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:33 PM

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:34 PM
I understand what Beay meant but being celebrity for most of her life she should know better than to make comments like that because she KNOWS people are going to make a big deal out of it.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:34 PM
I not taking it out of context “upper class” who can we blame for that comment Beyonce or Sasha she still fab though but that comment sounded a lil snooty to me
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:35 PM
She got that right…they are NOT the Jacksons. Never was never will be the icons that the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson are… Period. That takes a whole shit load of talen…

Well, i dont think she should assume that Mr & Mrs Jackson used their kids to get out of a bad situation. That wasnt really nothing for her to say. That comment may strike a cord with a few Jacksons, but it wont cause the world to end or anything.

This is so tight! Viola Davis is the best in the business and Taraji (because of the roles she has played) is underrated. Yes!

No comparison with Joe and Matthew. Joe was abusive, a terrible father figure and controlling; look at the many freaks he’s fathered..

Afternoon Everyone,
This is a great photo shoot and I don’t see anything wrong with her Jackson comment. Only thing I think is a little untrue is the upper class part, maybe upper middle class, but not upper class.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:44 PM
I think she is saying:
“ok, we were not struggling. We were black, together and focused on music so people thought we were the Jacksons. ”
I don’t know if she meant the next comment to apply to the Jacksons. She was probably trying to say her parents were not pushing DC for their own glory but for her own dreams. B is not an orator or the sharpest tool in the box so.. whatever.
Anyway, nothing to see here. Nothing to break a sweat over. But I predict this post will break out with the obligatory lovefest that ensues in a Beyonce post.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:45 PM

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:46 PM
I mean…what are these pictures for? Is it just to promote her image as a wanna be “icon” or what? I really don’t get the point in all the photo shoots cause chick is already every damn wear.
As for her comment, I really don’t know a single thing about her history but, I could tell that she grew up rich. There’s a certain lack of humility about her which I really don’t like. Don’t get me wrong. Is she talented? Yes. Pretty? Yes. Overhyped, yes. IMHO. I would just think with all the media training under her belt she would know not to make a comment about the Jackson’s that way. After all, the Jackson’s have reached the iconic level that Mrs. Carter is working overtime to achieve. Beyonce/Sacha whoever you are, please sit down. You are not God and what God has given you can be taken away at any minute. You are no better than anyone else. Just because your bank account balance may be different than mines, you are still no better than anyone else. I really don’t think this chick should be allowed to speak at all.

My boy just called asking about engagement rings b/c he plans to propose to his chick.
He said was $200 enough and I hung up.
The reason being he has a shitload of money and would never be that cheap with himself.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:46 PM
Not to mention, we have no idea how the interview was going…what questions were asked, the context, tone, etc. Perhaps the interviewer compared her dad to Joe. That’s an insult. Perhaps he compared her upbringing the to the Jacksons…ew, they lived foul!
Good Job B! You can’t please everybody with politically correct replies.
Thanks for replying “Authentically” and not “puzzy footing around the issue.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:47 PM

I think thats what she meant too. Beyonce is not the best speaker, she does not form her words well into sentences. Not making excuses for her but everybody knows the Jackson story, Joe was not father of the year.

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:48 PM
I think people get a little confused as to what upper class means.. a jag + private school = middle class with opportunities. I’m sure Mr.Knowles wasn’t racking in millions at Xerox, neither was momma Tina doing press n curls. However because of her opportunities and hard work she can now classify herself as upper class…the new upper class if in fact thats what she chooses.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:48 PM
Oh no, Bee!!! Daddy Knowles has capitalized on his children’s talents just like Joe Jackson did. You better issue a statement real fast saying your words were contradicted or it just means that snobish-ness I always knew you had has come out.

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:49 PM
But Beyonce’s parents were using her. Matthew quit his job to manage her and the other members of Destinys child full time while Tina worked at the salon. Also, as reported and said by her numerous times, the knowles family had to go live with a family member because raising a family on Tina’s salary wasn’t making ends meet. Beyonce has stated numerous times, that her and her sister noticed things kept getting “smaller”. Beyonce’s parents sacrificied so that she could be the pop-star she is today.
Maybe Matthew didn’t use the same physical tactics that Joe jackson did, but Matthew still used her to have a better life, so did her mother. Just like her sister, Solange…
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:50 PM
Uh, that’s nice what they’ve achieved. Janet achievements were made while in her 20’s, early 30’s. B is….27. So, let’s revist her the NOT AN ICON comment when she’s in her 40’s like Janet.
Tell ya what, I doubt B will be pulling out a titty at the age of 40, to get some attention.
Michael, uhhh, same..his solo accomplishments were made when he was 20/30. Icon status confirmed at age 40.
I love it how yall mad at B. Get off this celebrity gossip site if you don’t want to READ about her.

She’s basically saying that the family already HAD money BEFORE they decided to pursue this. Matthew had his own pharmacitical(sp) supply company and decided to quit and decided to management the group full time, because he sae the potential…Unlike the Jackson 5, where Joe couldnt keep a job and they sleeping 3 or 4 to a room…
Plus Tina had Headliners which was big successful beauty shop in Houston….Beyonce was in pagents and things like (which arent cheap)
I guess she dont want people to feel like her parents used HER for their own personal gain!!!

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:52 PM
See…everytime I start to like Bey she turns around and opens her (rumored stank breath) mouth and says some dumbness.
How can she just blatantly disrespect Katherine and Joe Jackson like that. And she needs to relook at Matthew because if he isn’t Joe Jackson reincarnated then I don’t know who is. The similarities are amazing. If the Jackson’s didn’t have like 8 kids on only had 2, they may have had “more” or a “higher class” lifestyle that Bey is throwing out there.
1. Matthew focuses on the child he believes he has the most talent and sometimes focuses on the other….Can we say Joe and Michael?
2. Affairs…again Matthew and Joe
3. Micro managing every aspect of the childs career…Matthew and Joe
4. Dropping everything (quitting jobs and selling of beauty shops to 100% support their child trying to break into show business) Suprise….Matthew and Joe, oh and this time Tina too.
It was very LOW class and tacky for her to bring the Jackson family into her discussion when trying to prove a point. She needs to learn how to conduct and interview and not put her foot in her mouth. Janet needs to check this biotch for putting Katherine in this. She can trash Joe but not mama Jackson…those would be fighting words.

She’s basically saying that the family already HAD money BEFORE they decided to pursue this. Matthew had his own pharmacitical(sp) supply company and decided to quit and decided to management the group full time, because he sae the potential…Unlike the Jackson 5, where Joe couldnt keep a job and they sleeping 3 or 4 to a room…
Plus Tina had Headliners which was big successful beauty shop in Houston….Beyonce was in pagents and things like (which arent cheap)
I guess she dont want people to feel like her parents used HER for their own personal gain!!![/quote]
TRU TRU…

Crock o shit. The chick went to middle and high school at public schools. These pictures are fierce alright. FIERCELY DRY! Thank you, try again.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:52 PM
Like my precious baby girl Bey is right, we’re NOT the Jacksons, but more like the Cosby’s. We have way more class than the Jacksons and a lot more loot now that Michael is bankrupt.
Be prepared for my baby girl’s world domination. Forget wanting to be like Elvis or Diana Ross, we’re aiming for Christ-like status…the number one artist in the universe!!!
People would see my baby’s image in Popeye’s chicken like the Virgin Mary, Sundays will be renamed Bey-Dazzled day, people would pay millions for my daughters eggs to create a million Beyonce clones and the list goes on…
You have been warned…signing off!

I’m pretty sure that quote was taken out of context.
On another note..I think Joe Jackson pushed his kids because he saw their talent and wanted them to have a better life than he did. He may have went overboard (you know alot of us parents do when it comes to our kids) but he saw their potential and wanted them to take full advantage of it. It did pay off…most of them are living comfortable (albeit they may have issues…but who doesn’t). Each generation wants better (or should) for the next. He just went a little too far.
I think Beyonce’s father is the same. He sees the potential in his daughter and wants her to take full advantage of it. Keep in mind…Beyonce is not always going to be on top. If I were her, I would make as much as I can for as long as I can so that I can live comfortably and work because I want to..not because I have to.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:53 PM
I take my first comment back what she said was whack. She doesn’t know Joe Jackson. We all know he dicisplined his kids too much some would say, but we don’t know why. It could have been to push them to be the best.
Wait hold up, they did sing Christmas carols as Jehovah’s witnesses.
Nevermind.

Let me put Beyonce’s Knowles comment in perspective: Who is more likely to make this comment: “I am upper class.”
1. Beyonce Knowles
2. Sasha and Malia Obama
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:54 PM
*peeks in* Is everything good now? I was going thru YBF withdrawals :(
I think we’re all requesting the same thing from Bey: THINK before you speak. That would solve so many issues for her. No, ur daddy isn’t using u to get out of a bad situation , but u are getting used, pimped, whatever. We know u grew up rich, it shows in your attitude. No humility whatsoever.

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:54 PM
Wow now watch all the stans come in here saying that people are just jealous because her fam had money yadda yadda yadda. Well I grew up in Connecticut, near Greenwich so having money has never been a thing to me. But my parents made sure that dumb ish such as her comments would never come out of my mouth. My parents busted their arses to give us everything we wanted and never lets us forget that at any given point it can all be taken away. Also and not to kick the people that are down by throwing it in their face that we were comfortable middle class and they weren’t. I’m so happy that her fam didn’t have to struggle like others do but those are the type of comments you keep to yourself. No one that doesn’t have money wants to hear about how much you have. If she is compared to the Jacksons she should take it as a compliment because they are icons and will forever be remembered for all that they have accomplished and all that was made a little bit easier for black entertainers that will follow.
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:54 PM
i’m not a big Beyonce fan, but her shots are bad..can’t hate on u, girl. :D

to me Janet OR Madonna really aint all that…neither one can sing….and I honestly feel that Bey will surpass Janet one day..because of the fact that she has REAL singing ability!!!

These are some of the BEST pics she has ever taken. THESE PICS ARE FIERCE as hell. She looks ………AMAZING!
The comment about the Jackson’s was true. Joe abused those boys and we all know it. He was ssing those dollar bills. Mr. Knowles saw their potential and Bey was built for this ish so he pushed her to achieve her goal. Her parents had money so they weren’t hard pressed for cash until they started investing thousands of dollars into DC’s career before they were signed. It costed them mega bucks but it paid off.
BEY is a true ICON!!!!

Okay Beyonce. I really tried. Really.
But what the f do you mean “Get out of a bad situation?” Don’t say that. Because you leave room for people to take it the wrong way. AND FYI: YA MAN WAS DEF IN A BAD SITUATION..matter fact…HE GREW UP IN A BAD SITUATION. So really think before you speak. Now I understand why Jay keeps ya ass walking behind him. You were rich, we respect that, but look what the money has done, ya sis can’t keep her legs closed and ya daddy trys to bone everything that walks so don’t go there.

So many on the short bus today. Yall know yall saw the Jackson movies and remember Rebi cooking dirty greens, Michael playing w/ a pet rat..and one of the other boys couldnt get shoes, but Joe bought their ass a guitar.
UH, Matthew quit his job to MANAGE his girls…Better than allowing RKelly and Irv Gotti to. Remember Aaliyah and Ashanti getting caught up? NUFF SAID
As far as downsizing…that’s called a sacrifice.
Get it together peoples…yall letting B’s badness ruin your Tuesday.

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:56 PM
So if your daddy having a Jag made you upper class, what about those whose parents drove RRs and Bentleys?? I’m just saying, I think the term you were looking for honey was middle class and sorry, those first 2 albums of yours didn’t sound classy in no kind of way anyway, I’ve only now become a fan because finally you’ve toned it down on the 1st few tracks of your new album. Funny, my friends and I always said we thought she was a little too ghetto for us so to see her on here talking about upper class, is just laugh out loud funny.
Finally, upper class people are usually discreet and would notb refer to themselves as such in this public manner!
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:56 PM
First off, I stan for Michael Jackson. I stan so hard for Michael Jackson, there isn’t even a term coined to describe it. I’m fully admitting that. Now, Beyonce? She’s not knocking them. She’s stating that there is a difference. Her father assisted her in building her career from a young age because SHE wanted to do it, and their family was already well-to-do financially beforehand. Nobody pushed her lil’ baby fierce ass onto a stage and said, “Bytch, SING! Or else you gon’ git this belt!” The Jacksons? Not the same. Two parents and NINE children in a 2 room house on a single steelworker’s salary in the 1960’s, who in hard times sent his children to a neighboring field to steal POTATOES for dinner isn’t exactly well-to-do. And let’s not forget the Jackson family is WELL-KNOWN for their father having pushed those children extremely hard, extremely violently, and extremely YOUNG in order to get on up out of Gary, Indiana and make a way for a better life. Don’t believe me? Go catch a VH-1 repeat of The Jacksons: An American Dream miniseries. That’ll tell ya everything you need to know.
She could have worded it differently, sure, but this has been what Beyonce’s been saying, for like YEARS now. Essentially, “I do this for the love of it, and my family is behind me for the love of ME.” Not to live off of her, not to push her and drive her. But because they wanted to give her what she wanted. Is it fair for her not to hide that she grew up in a Huxtable family atmosphere? Maybe, maybe not. But don’t misconstrue her statement cause she’s not denying her family was ‘New Money’. She said the same thing in a dozen other interviews, even after one journalist tried to compare her girl-group-stardom to Diana Ross trying to break out of poverty after going from being Berry Gordy’s secretary to his main star.
They gon’ call this chile’s daddy Papa Joe 2.0 until the cows come home, and for good reason, to a certain extent. But lets not knock her for saying her family situation wasn’t what some think it was. Knock her for busted weaves or tacky dresses…not THIS.
Just my opinion!
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:57 PM
Sooooooo, she thinks Matthew telling her to P Pop her way to fame isn’t using her?????? Ummm, ok….whateva chick…And that pic of you next to the Ramen noodles…Who you trying to fool??? You have no idea wha they are, or how to make them……
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:57 PM
I love Bey and she can do no wrong in my book. Every black person has a different story. Just because she didn’t grow up poor she should not have to hide that fact. I love the Jackson’s but we all saw the movie.

[quote comment="326662"]Not to mention, we have no idea how the interview was going…what questions were asked, the context, tone, etc. Perhaps the interviewer compared her dad to Joe. That’s an insult. Perhaps he compared her upbringing the to the Jacksons…ew, they lived foul!
Good Job B! You can’t please everybody with politically correct replies.
Thanks for replying “Authentically” and not “puzzy footing around the issue.[/quote]
It’s funny how chick gets a free PR spin on all out of pocket comments. She can do no wrong in some folks eyes. Even with a blatant comment like this, people can still spin it to where she comes off sweeter than apple sauce. I wonder how people would be reacting if it were Britney Spears, Brandy or Rhi Rhi making this comment. Hmmm….
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:58 PM
[quote comment="326678"]Uh, that’s nice what they’ve achieved. Janet achievements were made while in her 20’s, early 30’s. B is….27. So, let’s revist her the NOT AN ICON comment when she’s in her 40’s like Janet.
Tell ya what, I doubt B will be pulling out a titty at the age of 40, to get some attention.
Michael, uhhh, same..his solo accomplishments were made when he was 20/30. Icon status confirmed at age 40.
I love it how yall mad at B. Get off this celebrity gossip site if you don’t want to READ about her.
Bye bytches![/quote]
Again, I would like to say that B is a wonderful talent but on the level of the JACKSONS? Just because the Jacksons are icons is not a insult to B. She is great at what she does and I wish her success on her path towards becoming an icon herself in the future.
Well, let me speak for myself. Born in the 80s. Grew up on Michael & Janet. Listened to Jackson 5. The Jacksons were already icons in their 20s. Thriller is still the bestselling album of all time. Michael was young when he made it. They revolutionized dancing and all these young r&b singers today like Usher, Chris Brown, etc are following the path Michael drove through.
I hope people don’t dismiss the achievements of the ICONIC Jackson Family.

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:58 PM
I think the did have a bad situation though because I’ve see the story of how they made it the Matthew quit his Job they were running out of money at one point the parents separated. Matthew moved into an apartment and this was out of Beyonce and Solanges mouth Tina was tired of bringing in all the money towards the end. Now that doesn’t make it the same as the Jacksons story but I didn’t realize he used the kids to get out of a bad situation I just thought he was crazy. She probably shoulda just let the Jacksons out of it and said my parents weren’t using me to get out of a Bad situation. Its always a touchy when you compare your story to someone else’s especially if there story wasn’t necessarily completely positive
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:58 PM

Tue, December 9, 2008 1:59 PM
And let me just add, that Janet and Michael..and hell even the Jackson 5..made it to icon status..sold millions (and prob are still selling records)..so if you want to be an icon..just stay doing what you do best: Perform and take pictures (acting not included, lmao)
Tue, December 9, 2008 1:59 PM
Bey wont be pulling out a titty at the age of 40 because she will be too busy doing Vegas revue shows and not large events like the Superbowl. I am a HUGE Janet fan and Bey is cool but until Bey is around and relevant ala a ICON this shouldn’t even be a discussion.
When she grows with her music and stop trying to appeal to booty poppers and rolling her ass around on the floor doing the Bunnyhop, she’s just another black artist with a big azz and an average voice with a good manager….Matthew who took his play book from none other than Joe Jackson….PEACE

The reason being he has a shitload of money and would never be that cheap with himself.[/quote]

[quote comment="326724"]So if your daddy having a Jag made you upper class, what about those whose parents drove RRs and Bentleys?? I’m just saying, I think the term you were looking for honey was middle class and sorry, those first 2 albums of yours didn’t sound classy in no kind of way anyway, I’ve only now become a fan because finally you’ve toned it down on the 1st few tracks of your new album. Funny, my friends and I always said we thought she was a little too ghetto for us so to see her on here talking about upper class, is just laugh out loud funny.
Finally, upper class people are usually discreet and would notb refer to themselves as such in this public manner![/quote]
That’s because people with money don’t have to announce they have money…it just shows…..
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:00 PM
Ok can someone explain this one to me…PLEASE I’m not tying to funny to all you extra sensitive folks.
No denying her musical abilities, but how can someone just say they want to be an icon and Sha-Zham!!! They’re an icon. Don’t the “people” label that person an icon?!? Did Michael Jackson go on a King of Pop campaign. I’m just asking.
Just like her hubby….Greatest Rapper Alive. I don’t get it….
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:00 PM
[quote comment="326680"][quote comment="326649"]I think she is saying:
“ok, we were not struggling. We were black, together and focused on music so people thought we were the Jacksons. ”
I don’t know if she meant the next comment to apply to the Jacksons. She was probably trying to say her parents were not pushing DC for their own glory but for her own dreams. B is not an orator or the sharpest tool in the box so.. whatever.
Anyway, nothing to see here. Nothing to break a sweat over. But I predict this post will break out with the obligatory lovefest that ensues in a Beyonce post.[/quote]
——————————————————————–
She’s basically saying that the family already HAD money BEFORE they decided to pursue this. Matthew had his own pharmacitical(sp) supply company and decided to quit and decided to management the group full time, because he sae the potential…Unlike the Jackson 5, where Joe couldnt keep a job and they sleeping 3 or 4 to a room…
Plus Tina had Headliners which was big successful beauty shop in Houston….Beyonce was in pagents and things like (which arent cheap)
I guess she dont want people to feel like her parents used HER for their own personal gain!!![/quote]
Where u get ur info from!??! He actually worked for Xerox, didn’t have his own company. And I think Bee did just a few pageants when she was younger and being that her mom is a seamstress I’m sure they didn’t have to dish out an arm and Solange’s leg to participate in one.
I’m just sayin’ :-)

1. Beyonce need not speak out loud.
2. Private school and a Jag doesn’t make you upper class.
3. Upper middle class and *maybe* living outside of your means.
4. What private school wants to take credit for this woman’s diction, grammar, and overall vocabulary???
5. Anyone?
6. We love you Bey, but if it weren’t for the Jacksons, you would be the waitress at Denny’s with the dope body.
7. …whose Mom does hair in the house.
8. It’s OK girl, your Dad used you to make some MORE paper- accept it, and deal.
9. Joe had to get his family out of the pit of Gary hell- and did it with EXTREMELY talented kids- what is your Dad’s excuse if you were upper class?

It’s funny how chick gets a free PR spin on all out of pocket comments. She can do no wrong in some folks eyes.

Yes. But singing talent is not all that it takes. Michael was not that strong of a singer either but that man is the undisputed KING OF POP.. no matter how far he has fallen. B sings better than Janet and Madonna but she is not on their level YET!

I respect your opinion to like who you like. I agree B sings better but Madonna and Janet are icons and it is pretty much a fact across the industry. Like David Bowie or Sting.
Rihanna, Ashanti and Ciara, with all due respect to them are not even on the level of Madonna or Janet. Madonna and Janet have SOLD so many albums. People love them. Achieved a lot of success. Many things can make an icon. For example, Jill Scott is not the best-seller but she will be remembered as one for her talent.
B can still become an icon. She is a wonderful singer. All the best to her in her career. But let us also respect the people that came before.

I somewhat agree, I was about to say somethin similar to that. In my opinion, Janet and Madonna are icons. No doubt. BUT, when it comes down to it, ambition and drive, are NOT to be confused with ability or talent. Janet doesn’t have the strongest vocals, nor does Madonna. Janet has the dance tip down pact of course, and that is where her strength and talent lies. As for Madonna…well dammit she’s Madonna!!!!!
So for those who believe that Beyonce will never be associable with the realms of “icon” status, or the likes of the Jacksons, thats cool. Because for one, their ain’t fiddyleven Knowles’ toe even REACH Jackson status, and although Bee’s talents may not be the same as that of the Jackson’s she is STILL one bad bish when it comes to entertaining. Her voice is phenomenal, and generally, so are her performances.

My parents busted their arses to give us everything we wanted and never lets us forget that at any given point it can all be taken away. Also and not to kick the people that are down by throwing it in their face that we were comfortable middle class and they weren’t. I’m so happy that her fam didn’t have to struggle like others do but those are the type of comments you keep to yourself. No one that doesn’t have money wants to hear about how much you have. If she is compared to the Jacksons she should take it as a compliment because they are icons and will forever be remembered for all that they have accomplished and all that was made a little bit easier for black entertainers that will follow.[/quote]

But what the f do you mean “Get out of a bad situation?” Don’t say that. Because you leave room for people to take it the wrong way. AND FYI: YA MAN WAS DEF IN A BAD SITUATION..matter fact…HE GREW UP IN A BAD SITUATION. So really think before you speak. Now I understand why Jay keeps ya ass walking behind him. You were rich, we respect that, but look what the money has done, ya sis can’t keep her legs closed and ya daddy trys to bone everything that walks so don’t go there.
On the other hand..some of the pics are nice.[/quote]
Look at you quick to judge the girl. If everything you said or did was under a microscope, lets see how much dumbass comments you all would make. Im not sticking up for her but you went outta line with her sister can’t keep her legs closed comment, many ladies on here were/are teen mothers and how do you know she can’t keep her legs closed? For all you know that was Solange’s first, you dont know the situation. I read this site everyday, most comments are amusing but I notice that you have a anger that is very sick. You talk about these celebrities like you are familiar with them. I also peep how you guys talk about the bible and Jesus Christ but have the nerve to judge each and every celebrity on here. I understand it is a gossip site, but take it easy. They are living humans just as you and I, and they make mistakes but its not fair to throw stones at them for those mistakes. Just like Barack Obama, he is prosecuted for every decision he makes by his dislikers, they want him to fail. Barack has a lot of supporters but where I live, a lot of republicians white and black tear him apart because of a statement or a decision he makes. Don’t be like that ya’ll, we as black women, we have to support our kind. We already have few as it is. We already have enough people judging us and putting us down, lets change the way we react to things we have no clue about. Just a suggestion.

My Take on her comments are that she feels her dad didn’t push her to do what she’s doing to put money in his own pockets…which i strongly believe is true! But to say that you grew up “upper class” is a little much. When it’s kids in the projects(like Me) and the hood that buy your music.

Hollywood true story or some crap and it talked about their hard times… I don’t understand these celebs they want everyone to believe that they struggled, but here she is claiming she grew up “upper-class” she didn’t even say “upper-MIDDLE class” dang, I find it hard to believe that someone from the upper-class would speaks the way that she does…nvm

[quote comment="326725"]First off, I stan for Michael Jackson. I stan so hard for Michael Jackson, there isn’t even a term coined to describe it. I’m fully admitting that. Now, Beyonce? She’s not knocking them. She’s stating that there is a difference. Her father assisted her in building her career from a young age because SHE wanted to do it, and their family was already well-to-do financially beforehand. Nobody pushed her lil’ baby fierce ass onto a stage and said, “Bytch, SING! Or else you gon’ git this belt!” The Jacksons? Not the same. Two parents and NINE children in a 2 room house on a single steelworker’s salary in the 1960’s, who in hard times sent his children to a neighboring field to steal POTATOES for dinner isn’t exactly well-to-do. And let’s not forget the Jackson family is WELL-KNOWN for their father having pushed those children extremely hard, extremely violently, and extremely YOUNG in order to get on up out of Gary, Indiana and make a way for a better life. Don’t believe me? Go catch a VH-1 repeat of The Jacksons: An American Dream miniseries. That’ll tell ya everything you need to know.
She could have worded it differently, sure, but this has been what Beyonce’s been saying, for like YEARS now. Essentially, “I do this for the love of it, and my family is behind me for the love of ME.” Not to live off of her, not to push her and drive her. But because they wanted to give her what she wanted. Is it fair for her not to hide that she grew up in a Huxtable family atmosphere? Maybe, maybe not. But don’t misconstrue her statement cause she’s not denying her family was ‘New Money’. She said the same thing in a dozen other interviews, even after one journalist tried to compare her girl-group-stardom to Diana Ross trying to break out of poverty after going from being Berry Gordy’s secretary to his main star.
They gon’ call this chile’s daddy Papa Joe 2.0 until the cows come home, and for good reason, to a certain extent. But lets not knock her for saying her family situation wasn’t what some think it was. Knock her for busted weaves or tacky dresses…not THIS.
Just my opinion![/quote]
Finally, a rationale post. This is exactly what I thought and said. She is not insulting them. Man, I am like you. I STAN for the Jacksons..lol

[quote comment="326676"]But Beyonce’s parents were using her. Matthew quit his job to manage her and the other members of Destinys child full time while Tina worked at the salon. Also, as reported and said by her numerous times, the knowles family had to go live with a family member because raising a family on Tina’s salary wasn’t making ends meet. Beyonce has stated numerous times, that her and her sister noticed things kept getting “smaller”. Beyonce’s parents sacrificied so that she could be the pop-star she is today.
Maybe Matthew didn’t use the same physical tactics that Joe jackson did, but Matthew still used her to have a better life, so did her mother. Just like her sister, Solange…[/quote]
I don’t think he used her for a better life, because they already had a good life…….He made temporary sacrifices yes, by quitting his job, but it’s not like they weren’t already well off to begin with.

[quote comment="326765"]her for[quote comment="326717"]Okay Beyonce. I really tried. Really.
But what the f do you mean “Get out of a bad situation?” Don’t say that. Because you leave room for people to take it the wrong way. AND FYI: YA MAN WAS DEF IN A BAD SITUATION..matter fact…HE GREW UP IN A BAD SITUATION. So really think before you speak. Now I understand why Jay keeps ya ass walking behind him. You were rich, we respect that, but look what the money has done, ya sis can’t keep her legs closed and ya daddy trys to bone everything that walks so don’t go there.
On the other hand..some of the pics are nice.[/quote]
Look at you quick to judge the girl. If everything you said or did was under a microscope, lets see how much dumbass comments you all would make. Im not sticking up for her but you went outta line with her sister can’t keep her legs closed comment, many ladies on here were/are teen mothers and how do you know she can’t keep her legs closed? For all you know that was Solange’s first, you dont know the situation. I read this site everyday, most comments are amusing but I notice that you have a anger that is very sick. You talk about these celebrities like you are familiar with them. I also peep how you guys talk about the bible and Jesus Christ but have the nerve to judge each and every celebrity on here. I understand it is a gossip site, but take it easy. They are living humans just as you and I, and they make mistakes but its not fair to throw stones at them for those mistakes. Just like Barack Obama, he is prosecuted for every decision he makes by his dislikers, they want him to fail. Barack has a lot of supporters but where I live, a lot of republicians white and black tear him apart because of a statement or a decision he makes. Don’t be like that ya’ll, we as black women, we have to support our kind. We already have few as it is. We already have enough people judging us and putting us down, lets change the way we react to things we have no clue about. Just a suggestion.[/quote]
Next time can we break it up a bit. 2-3 paragraphs if you insist on an essay. Thanks!

Well I grew up in Connecticut, near Greenwich so having money has never been a thing to me. But my parents made sure that dumb ish such as her comments would never come out of my mouth. My parents busted their arses to give us everything we wanted and never lets us forget that at any given point it can all be taken away. Also and not to kick the people that are down by throwing it in their face that we were comfortable middle class and they weren’t. I’m so happy that her fam didn’t have to struggle like others do but those are the type of comments you keep to yourself. No one that doesn’t have money wants to hear about how much you have. If she is compared to the Jacksons she should take it as a compliment because they are icons and will forever be remembered for all that they have accomplished and all that was made a little bit easier for black entertainers that will follow.[/quote]

I can kinda imagine what she was trying to say but She could have said it in so many other ways. “I” personally think it was very UNprofessional of her to speak on the Jacksons and make accusations like that. This new “open” Beyonce/Sasha Fierce is starting to backfire on her IMO. It came off like she was saying that she/her family is better in some way. Hopefully she was misquoted.
And… So what your dad had a Jag and you went to private school. Hella Snooty!!!

PS: to the one who asked “Did Michael Jackson go on a King of Pop campaign? I’m just asking.”
Um…much as I love him, yeah, he kinda DID. He put that shyt on ALL his merchandise, flyers, CD releases, T-shirts, into interviewer’s mouths (including Oprah back in the day, who tried to say she wouldn’t be calling him that BY CALLING HIM THAT and then asking him where the nickname came from-slick! LMAO!) and then…er’body started saying it. The brutha wanted a James Brown-esque title so he said, BAM, now I got one. He’s the shiznit from now until eternity in my eyes, but I ain’t calling him nann title.
And I love me some Beyonce, but i ain’t calling her nothing cute and catchy, neither. Unless you count ‘Future Mother of Jigglets’ as cute and catchy.
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:14 PM
Anyway, I am leaving. Like I had predicted. Rationale is rare in a Beyonce post. Too many insults and immaturity from some people that like her and those who don’t. Please get some sense. The average age of posters here has got to be 13 years old.

Stop it Beyonce!!! LMAO.. Who would admit to there family being like the Jackson? Honestly…. I like B but if you want Icon status don’t go downing a family whose already paved the way for you to get there!!! Before the Jackson white america didnt totally accept blacks in the music..It was alright for us to entertain them be we had to make our entrances and exits thru the back door…So think about that the next time you speak on the Jackson family… FYI..I guess Solange didnt get married just because she was pregnant either?!?!?!?!?LOL

COSIGN! She needs to shut up and stop acting like everyone is so beneath her. When we see those candid videos of her as a child dancing and singing in the living room, that was not a damn mansion! Ok, her family was probably middle class, but bringing that up in an interview is not necessary…it sounds pretty damn condescending. She needs to stop acting like her shit don’t stink and realize she’s the cash cow in her father’s eyes. The only thing different between the Jacksons and the Knowles management are the ass whoopings, and it looks like she needs a few for that stupid comment.

Beyonce is very talented and successful, but all the money in the world don’t buy you class. Just think about it, there are many other singers who are successful or even more successful as Beyonce, why aren’t people writing negative things about them to this degree? It’s slick condescending comments and ways about her that makes some people think otherwise. She’s just a gimmick, and I’m not going to be gullible.

[quote comment="326793"][quote comment="326750"]1. Beyonce need not speak out loud.
2. Private school and a Jag doesn’t make you upper class.
3. Upper middle class and *maybe* living outside of your means.
4. What private school wants to take credit for this woman’s diction, grammar, and overall vocabulary???
5. Anyone?
6. We love you Bey, but if it weren’t for the Jacksons, you would be the waitress at Denny’s with the dope body.
7. …whose Mom does hair in the house.
8. It’s OK girl, your Dad used you to make some MORE paper- accept it, and deal.
9. Joe had to get his family out of the pit of Gary hell- and did it with EXTREMELY talented kids- what is your Dad’s excuse if you were upper class?
10. See my screen name.
10a. …which might be changing if this chick keeps talking out loud
10b. We still love you Bey![/quote]
U are such a Fool. If it weren’t for the Jackson’s Bey would be a waitress??? Many people opened the doors for the Jackson’s so wtf are u talking about. Bey has her own talent and last time I checked if your daddy was making 6 figures back in the 90’s and your mama was one of the most popular hair stylist in the area, you practically lived in a MAnsion, u went to a private school, u had a Benz at 16…………Your ass was RICH!!!!!![/quote]
They are just hating ass bitches..They want to get like Beyonce that’s all.
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:35 PM
i see nothing wrong with anything she said. you people don’t know if it was a two part question and she answered both questions. there is NOTHING snooty about that answer. is she lying about the jag? no cause i’ve seen pics of her and her dad taking pics in front of it. is she lying about the private school? um, she attending some private performing arts school that she had to audition to get into. did her parents need her to get away from a bad situation? no, if her parents could afford to buy a jag, own a decent home, a nanny and put her in pageants. she could have been upper middle class, but she’s still right…her parents didn’t need her to make money for them.
funny how natasha didn’t post the article. mathew talked about how he was supportive and if his daughter would have come to him with any of her dreams, he would have supported her. if she wanted to be a doctor, he would have said “work hard, get your medical degree and when you are done, i’ll buy you a hospital.”
i guess i don’t find it snooty because i can relate to the statement she made. no i’m not rich, but i have supportive parents who take care off me and will move heaven and earth to help me make MY dream come true. yes, sometimes they push me to achieve them and enforce discipline, but it doesn’t mean that they are using me to better their situation. i would be mad if my parents worked hard to make my dream come true in a nonabusive way and all people want to do is compare me to someone who abused his children and was stealing their money to better himself.
on another note, i commend her for not sounding so rehearsed now a days and is speaking her mind instead of always being politically correct.
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:35 PM
How do you take the comment out of context? If that’s what she said, the comment was very uncalled. She needs to watch her mouth before she get that ass popped by one of the Jacksons.
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:36 PM
2 different family beyonce came from middle class her life would be just fine without music . Jacksons were poor as fvck and joe see his kids ts keep it as $$$ and a way out of the hood.
Lets keep it real. beyonce maybe one of the first RNB female who didn’t have a sorrow story from the hood or project. this is one of the reason she hated on. when Barack decide to run for president he did face the same shit because he could not trace his roots back to the south on the plantation. thats why ppl use to say he was not black enough.

[quote comment="326748"][quote comment="326680"][quote comment="326649"]I think she is saying:
“ok, we were not struggling. We were black, together and focused on music so people thought we were the Jacksons. ”
I don’t know if she meant the next comment to apply to the Jacksons. She was probably trying to say her parents were not pushing DC for their own glory but for her own dreams. B is not an orator or the sharpest tool in the box so.. whatever.
Anyway, nothing to see here. Nothing to break a sweat over. But I predict this post will break out with the obligatory lovefest that ensues in a Beyonce post.[/quote]
——————————————————————–
She’s basically saying that the family already HAD money BEFORE they decided to pursue this. Matthew had his own pharmacitical(sp) supply company and decided to quit and decided to management the group full time, because he sae the potential…Unlike the Jackson 5, where Joe couldnt keep a job and they sleeping 3 or 4 to a room…
Plus Tina had Headliners which was big successful beauty shop in Houston….Beyonce was in pagents and things like (which arent cheap)
I guess she dont want people to feel like her parents used HER for their own personal gain!!![/quote]
Where u get ur info from!??! He actually worked for Xerox, didn’t have his own company. And I think Bee did just a few pageants when she was younger and being that her mom is a seamstress I’m sure they didn’t have to dish out an arm and Solange’s leg to participate in one.

Tue, December 9, 2008 2:45 PM
Beyonce is a great performer but that’s where it ends. Honestly do we care what come out of her mouth if it isn’t a song. She is a 27 year old woman who wouldn’t even admit she was married, now she needs to sell records so she discusses “What she would like”, WHATEVER! Whether Janet, Michael, Madonna can sing or not they are icons. They’ve evolved over the years and stayed on top. Beyonce is finally getting real taking off the wigs and shit but she has to come a lil better than trying to take a stab at a family hers drastically resembles.
Poppa Knowles may not hit Beyonce but that family clearly has issues and it would be great if she got real for once. I like solange much better. Tina looks like she had too much plastic surgery. Who really knows what goes on with that family really when everything is a “secret”. Beyonce clearly doesn’t know a damn thing about hard life, O wait she married the poster child “From nothing to something”. ***** WE cannot be bothered by Beyonce and her comments. She clearly does not hold good interviews. I hate all her interviews even the one she recently did with Oprah. She seems so fake, rehearsed, too shy. Get a Grip B. You got all that money pay someone to read the words into your earpiece if you need to.
Tue, December 9, 2008 2:45 PM
My main problem is in how she said this. If you grew up upper class, so what. In this day and age where there are over 3 million people out of work and scraping to get by, people don’t really want to hear about how you have so much money. It’s kinda like telling your girl you can’t cover your rent and she firing back with “I just spent $2500 on Christmas shopping”. She is a beautiful woman but, she needs some class. If she grew up so upper class, why the hell is she so hood? Have you listened to hear speak? If that’s where private school gets you, I am glad I didn’t go. She seriously needs some CLASS. Don’t drag someone else’s name thru the mud in order to make yourself look better. Someone please tell this chick to SIT DOWN. As for her being an ICON, she needs more people and better music. I really don’t see my kids, kids running around saying “I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly”. Yes, she is hot RIGHT NOW. But her music is not timeless. 25 years from now, no one will be doing the Sacha Fierce “put a ring on it” dance. Please sit down Beyonce!

I have always been saying that about this chick: “You don’t beg to be an icon, people acknowledge you as such.” Once you start begging, it’s going to be natural that people will start comparing you to your cohorts and find out that this may not be the case, and that you lack humility.

Yeah, I have to co-sign on that one. When Im 60, I shudder to think that I will be at someone’s bar-b-que with a jogging suit and heels singing “My body’s too bootylicious for you babe…” Though I am happy in this interview she was able to string along a couple of sentences that would qualify her for being Smarter that a 5th grader.
Tue, December 9, 2008 3:33 PM
Don’t you all remember this comment from Solange a while back: I think the craziest rumor was that my dad paid my son’s father $1 million to marry me. That was everywhere at one time, and that was really funny. I always joke that I wish we had it like that: “Here, take a million dollars, marry her…”
So unfortunately, her sister sees their financial status a little differently. Not only that, if they were truly “upper class” back then, they wouldn’t have to work and we wouldn’t have to see that House of Death Wrong in stores. Note to Beyonce: Folks with real money (in your terms, “upper class” folks) don’t really work, they just sit back and let their money work for them.
Tue, December 9, 2008 3:37 PM
SMDH!!! She is ONE Idiot!
Just learn to keep your mouth shut! NOBODY comparing FLOPPED Solange and a successful Beyonce not the most successful in her day to the GREATEST Entertainers and Dancers of ALL time. With a Successful boy group and two solo legends Michael and Janet. Who BEYONCE so easily jack their style when thats not even her realm of entertaining more for Chris Usher and Ciara.

Exactly,she should have rephrased her words because it sounds snooty as all hell! I wonder how Janet feels about that comment because I thought they ran in the same circle.
Do you think she looks down on “non-upper class” people? Shit, Jay is from Marcy Projects and there’s no upper class in the hood!
That makes me wonder if Jay wasn’t as famous/paid out the ass would she look at him through the same eyes or turn up her nose to a hood nigga!!

Wrong…there’s a flaw in this argument. Beyonce always hesitated to identify herself as being African-American. She labels herself as Creole and wishes she were Latina. I guess now Barack is going to be president, it’s okay to be African-American huh? At least Barack always embraced being black even though he could have been in denial (raised by white family, abandoned by his father) like Tiger Woods, but he embraces it proudly.

That’s right in the words of Wendy “Look Down”, and “Put that where?”

You can tell Beyonce grew up in the Burbs because there’s one thing that she doesn’t have that the Jackson have plenty of and that’s soul…Beyonce is the most unsoulful black singer that I have ever heard before in my life…that’s why she couldn’t pull off the role of Etta James.

Wow….
now if another celeb said dat ish.. yll would be talkin different… but cuz its “Almighty Beyonce”..yll “undersatnd” wat she means..intresting… very interesting.
Tue, December 9, 2008 3:59 PM
Um so is she implying that Papa Knowles didn’t use any of that money he made on them girls to better his situation???
For god’s sake the man gave up his job b/c he knew he was going to pimp the shit out of them girls and made his wife give up her life too…
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN FRONTING…
And exactly which one of these pics is fiiiierce??? Y’all need to stop jocking so damn hard. Truth needs to be told sometime, and judging by the numbers Cadillac records brought in, I’m right. If someone would’ve told her “stop trying to act and stay in your lane” she wouldn’t have this disappointment on her hands. Not to mention the numbers her album did after the first week, I’d say Ms. Knowles is losing her “Sasha Fierce”

I don’t like the quote that she made about The Jackson Family. When The Jacksons were growing up, it was a lot of racism at the time and they father worked at a steel mill. Their mother couldn’t work because she had a disability and who was going to watch her 10 kids. Beyonce’s parents only had two kids, so of course they wouldn’t have to struggle finacially like The Jacksons who came from such a large family. She shouldn’t judge people. If her upbringing was so great, why her teenage sister get pregnant, so young. Then her parents go have a quick wedding, so it would look like she was married when she was pregnant, but she still was a teenager and she got pregnant before she got married.
Tue, December 9, 2008 4:13 PM
I DONT KNOW WHAT OTHER WAY SHE COULD HAVE MEANT THE COMMENT TO BE TAKEN SO WITH THAT SAID IT WAS A BIT BITCHY AND AS FAR AS THE JACKSONS THERE PARENTS SAW THE SAME TALENT HER PARENTS SAW IN HER AND THEY PUSHED IT THE SAME WAY HER PARENTS DID SO WHATS THE DIFFERENCE.

excuse me but you should check the meaning of creole in the dictionary first! There are so many meanings:
1) A person descended from or culturally related to the original French settlers of the southern United States, especially Louisiana.
2) The French dialect spoken by these people.
3) A person descended from or culturally related to the Spanish and Portuguese settlers of the Gulf States.
often creole A person of mixed Black and European ancestry who speaks a creolized language, especially one based on French or Spanish.
3) A Black slave born in the Americas as opposed to one brought from Africa.
4) creole A creolized language.
Haitian Creole.
adj.
Of, relating to, or characteristic of the Creoles.
creole Cooked with a spicy sauce containing tomatoes, onions, and peppers: shrimp creole; creole cuisine.
I’m black girl , born in the French West Indies, from a black mother and a black father, I speak french and creole , which is our dialect , and we call ourselves CREOLES!
What’s your point now!
People are killing me sometimes, always looking for any tiny details to criticize!!!!!!
are u going to tell me that black people from the west indies are different from black people from AMERICA or LOUISANA! Come on now! We are still BLACK no matter what!

hmmmmmmmmm really Beyonce, Does jay even deal with her being that he grew up poor and being a drug dealer and all. And stans don’t even try to turn this qoute around cause this is the same dragqueen that said i already have 10 grammys and a superstar crap.
Lmao at beyonce she is so boring maybe that’s why she hookup with thug jay-z cause she thouht she would finally have some funin her life not.
Shiit rihanna is a no-talent chick but i guess now she is the realest along with janet,mary,k.cole and them
Beyonce only had one dick in her life she gonna be an old ass lady wishing she lived poor hahahahahah
But jay would still be f-ing these chick on the low
Tue, December 9, 2008 4:39 PM
Beyonce can sometimes come across as vapid or say some quite interesting (stupid) things. I really don’t think she meant any harm, or didn’t really know how to say what she did. What she managed to do was come off smug and elitist. It’s almost like she’s saying, the last thing in the world you want to be is a Jackson or grow up poor. The Jackson’s are a cautionary tale (except Janet, Rebbie, and Tito, they all seem normal), and it’s sad, but someone has to be an example of what not do with fame. The one thing Matthew Knowles did was take Jackson formula and work out some of the kinks (not all, because no one’s family is perfect) to create DC3. If everything was such happy times why did the Knowles’ have to step on the back of four other ladies to make Destiny Child what it was? Latavia, Latoya, Farrah, and poor Michelle sure as hell looked like step children in the public eye. Hell might as well throw poor Michelle in the fold too.
I can see there a lot of young people on this board. I can’t believe how some of you are actually trying to down play the legacy of Jackson 5, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson. Trust just like if there was NO Chuck Berry, Little Richard, James Brown, Dina Ross, and Tina Turner, there would be NO Jackson 5, Michael Jackson or Janet Jackson. Without the Jackson’s blueprint for the record industry, there would be no Beyonce, Usher, Chris Brown, Ciara, Aaliyah, Rhianna or any of those countless boy bands. We can agree Michael and other siblings grew up poor. Not Janet though. She was 3 when the Jacksons moved to California. She had chefs, limos, private zoos, mansions, and celebrity from a very, very early age. How often do you here Janet bragging about that. The “upper class” life, so what she was born into that self proclaimed life and that definitely doesn’t maker her better than the next. The main thing you hear from Janet and Michael both, is how much they missed their childhood. Beyonce should thank her lucky stars she got to experience being normal and being a teenager.

I also think what may have happened was when you are two people in one (beyonce/sasha) maybe sometimes you forget who’s talking you know some people are bipolar or have multiple personalities as a disorder not as a choice I think she needs to come off this alter ego mess before it gets her in trouble just be you Beyonce even if you are boring as hell.

There go one of the Knowles running their mouths again. I say Janet should slap her. How can she speak on stuff she knows nothing about?
I guess she really meant “I was rich already” therefore you know we are better than the Jackson’s.
What she should have said is “Well, none of is talented therefore you can’t compare us to The Jackson’s. Although my sister is trying to ride off my success like Latoya Jackson tried.

She was nowhere near that status when your momma needs to work as a beautician… You grew middle/ (maybe) upper middle class amour. In response to an earlier post, even Sasha and Malia are not financially upper class. Upperclass have billions and the rest of the masses follow from there.

ew! that comment was unneccessary…and i beg to differ. regardless of this classy upbringing, how many fathers quit their already high paying jobs to coach, drill and push a pre-pubescent girl group into the spotlight? they may not have been struggling, but they’d be nowhere near their status today if SOMEONE did not use something to get somewhere. correct me if i’m wrong, but her fam isn’t famous because of mathew’s job at xerox or tina’s hair salon. i do believe its because of the girl group, of which they forced beyonce to the front lines even then. so i believe that the comment is taken just as said. unnecessary, snobby and silly.
Tue, December 9, 2008 5:04 PM
Beyonce fails to realize that both her father and Joe Jackson had a vision. Joe’s vision was to get his family out of poverty by capitalizing on his children’s talents. Mathew’s vision was make his daughter(Beyonce) a superstar by any means necessary even if it meant using and exploiting someone else’s talent. The other girls in Destiny’s Child were Beyonce’s stepping stone to stardom.
Tue, December 9, 2008 5:08 PM
I agree with Beyonce. Her family is quite different from the Jackson’s. While B has sought fit to unnecessarily (and in the most unflaterring way) compare her family to that of the Jackson’s, I can’t ever recall any of the Jackson’s ever doing something like this to any of their counterparts. And believe me, in their heyday, they could have done so and nobody would have blinked an eye. No, as I recall they were always gracious to a fault (all of them were, some a little looney, but always gracious and complimentary).
They may have come from abject poverty, had a father who pushed them way over the limit, and lost their childhoods in the process, but at least they have always been a gracious lot with a touch of class. What is it that the mother from the Joy Luck Club tells her daughter? “You can’t teach class, must be born with it.”
I’m not making excuses for Beyonce as some on this board have. Her image is her business. This reflects poorly on her and her family (I’m a Southerner, what you say and do reflects on the family)- no matter how you cut it. I don’t know if this “voice” she has found is part of the Beyonce/Sasha schtick [if so, she's not coming off Fierce, she's leaning heavily toward rude and nasty] or we are now seeing the real Beyonce who isn’t has scripted now that she’s married. I would suggest that she start focusing on how she can emulate the behavior of Michael and Janet toward their contemporaries – might help her reach their already achieved iconic stature.

[quote comment="326678"]Uh, that’s nice what they’ve achieved. Janet achievements were made while in her 20’s, early 30’s. B is….27. So, let’s revist her the NOT AN ICON comment when she’s in her 40’s like Janet.
Tell ya what, I doubt B will be pulling out a titty at the age of 40, to get some attention.
Michael, uhhh, same..his solo accomplishments were made when he was 20/30. Icon status confirmed at age 40.
I love it how yall mad at B. Get off this celebrity gossip site if you don’t want to READ about her.

anyWHO.
i love B and all but like mostly everyone said
this will be taken out of context
part of me understands what she means
although i wouldn’t describe her childhood lifestyle
as “upper-class”.
however, that comment still rubs me the wrong way.
i guess it does come off a bit snobby.
not to be rude or anything,
but MJ’s icon status was certified with Thriller being
the best selling album in the world. and he was in his 20’s.
i’m not knocking Bey but she still has a way to go.
we know no one’s selling records like that anymore
due to the industry, but she still has a few more
ladders to climb to achieve “ICON Status”
just saying../

This shows you know nothing about Janet Jackson. She is one of the most celebrated female celeberties of all time. Janet has been picking up awards since 1986 and has awards created just for her. Not to mention Humantarian Awards for her work with Aids, America’s Promise and the United Negro College Form. Beyonce is bad chick and so is Janet, don’t knock one just to raise another.
What does Beyonce alleged worth have anything to do with Janet? You’re not making any sense right now.

JANET HAS NEVA DID MANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OF THE THINGS THAT BEYONCE HAS, DONT EVEN HAVE THE AWARDS….
HELL JANET ONLY WORTH 100, MILLL BEYONCE FORBES REPORTS IS WORTH 400 TO 500 MILL ALREADY AT 27…..
TALENT, NO IT WAS ONLY 1 PERSON MICHEAL, CAUSE ANY OF THE OTHERS CANT SING.[/quote]
This shows you know nothing about Janet Jackson. She is one of the most celebrated female celeberties of all time. Janet has been picking up awards since 1986 and has awards created just for her. Not to mention Humantarian Awards for her work with Aids, America’s Promise and the United Negro College Form. Beyonce is bad chick and so is Janet, don’t knock one just to raise another.
What does Beyonce alleged worth have anything to do with Janet? You’re not making any sense right now.[/quote]
EXACTLY!!! What Beyonce has accomplished is no different then what Dianna Ross accomplised back in the day. Beyonce rise to fame mirror Diana Ross. Both were a part of girl groups who thought they could do better and decided to venture on there on… blah blah blah. While I like her music it all starts to sound the same..FYI Janet never lied about writting one of her songs only to have someone else come out and say they wrote it.. Channeling NeYo **Irreplaceable**…Yeah at first she tried to say she wrote it…lol

Joe Jackson is a crazy mofo but if anything Papa Knowles is crazier. A family of 11 living in a two bedroom house is enough to test the sanity of the best of us…Matthew Knowles on the other hand was financially secure/comfortable and decided to exploit his kid to become filthy rich (I’ve seen that vid of him reaming out his 13 year old for going swimming instead of rehearsing!)

Exactly. Michael reached his ICON status without Revlon, Direct TV, American Express and stupid bling bling cell phones. He did it without rolling all around on the floor half naked. Think of the true icons like Aretha, Barbara, Gladys, Patti, Tina…and then add Beyonce. She needs to, again, sit down. She has not created timeless music. She has mad decent music for todays day and age but, it is not timeless. “You must not know bout me” will not be coming out of my kids mouths 20 years from now. Now one will be saying “Pot-nuh let me upgrade yuh”. I’m just sayin…and her movies, forget it. They are not classics. I just don’t understand why this woman is so full of herself.
Tue, December 9, 2008 6:22 PM
I just don’t understand how she feels like she can be that disrespectful to them. I don’t care what the question was. The Jacksons have been a tad scary…….ok, lemme stop playing, very scary over the last few years, but it doesn’t take away all that they have accomplished. Any artist should respect that.
Tue, December 9, 2008 6:30 PM
Bey looks great, but that comment makes her sound stupid. In about 15 years, she’ll probably be seen as an icon but for now she needs to stfu and keep working hard. Janet is not the best singer, but no one can touch her as far as performances and entertainment goes…nevermind the fact that she’s in her 40’s and STILL kills it. The same can be said for Madonna, Tina Turner, etc…
I’m sure she didn’t mean for it to come off like that, but she needs to realize that the Jackson family, as well as other artists from the 80’s/90’s broke barriers in pop/r&b music just for her to be able to do what she does today. If she wants to reach iconic status, maybe she should work on being a little more humble.
Btw, a jag and a private school education does NOT upgrade your socio-economic status to upper class…get a grip Bey.

[quote comment="326765"]her for[quote comment="326717"]Okay Beyonce. I really tried. Really.
But what the f do you mean “Get out of a bad situation?” Don’t say that. Because you leave room for people to take it the wrong way. AND FYI: YA MAN WAS DEF IN A BAD SITUATION..matter fact…HE GREW UP IN A BAD SITUATION. So really think before you speak. Now I understand why Jay keeps ya ass walking behind him. You were rich, we respect that, but look what the money has done, ya sis can’t keep her legs closed and ya daddy trys to bone everything that walks so don’t go there.
On the other hand..some of the pics are nice.[/quote]
Look at you quick to judge the girl. If everything you said or did was under a microscope, lets see how much dumbass comments you all would make. Im not sticking up for her but you went outta line with her sister can’t keep her legs closed comment, many ladies on here were/are teen mothers and how do you know she can’t keep her legs closed? For all you know that was Solange’s first, you dont know the situation. I read this site everyday, most comments are amusing but I notice that you have a anger that is very sick. You talk about these celebrities like you are familiar with them. I also peep how you guys talk about the bible and Jesus Christ but have the nerve to judge each and every celebrity on here. I understand it is a gossip site, but take it easy. They are living humans just as you and I, and they make mistakes but its not fair to throw stones at them for those mistakes. Just like Barack Obama, he is prosecuted for every decision he makes by his dislikers, they want him to fail. Barack has a lot of supporters but where I live, a lot of republicians white and black tear him apart because of a statement or a decision he makes. Don’t be like that ya’ll, we as black women, we have to support our kind. We already have few as it is. We already have enough people judging us and putting us down, lets change the way we react to things we have no clue about. Just a suggestion.[/quote]
I totally agree with you!
Tue, December 9, 2008 6:44 PM
Beyonce, your daddy still used you to his advantage and still is. Janet and Michael were making moves on their own at 27. We can’t say the same for you, now can we? You need to think before you speak because disrespecting someone else’s family to big up your own isn’t the business.
On another note, the pics (minus the video ho table top ass up shot) is hot
Tue, December 9, 2008 6:45 PM
I guess her mom and dad not trying to get their own success is different?!!!! Her Mammy would still be doing hair if it wasn’t for their child stardom!! She’s so dumb it’s ridiculous. She will NEVER reach the Jackson’s level of success. Her sister helped with that downfall!!!
Tue, December 9, 2008 6:45 PM
“Look at you quick to judge the girl. If everything you said or did was under a microscope, lets see how much dumbass comments you all would make.”
I 100% agree with this comment, LOL! Lawd knows the world would think I was crazy as a mofo! But on the other hand, she, of all people, knows that this will happen and for someone who is so careful of what she speaks on, I would think she would be a little more delicate when speaking on a family such as the Jacksons…IMO anyway.
That said, the photo shoot is a hot one! The one thing that keeps me respecting her is that I know she works so hard, she has to for all the stuff she has her hands in and anybody who works for what they have should be respected….
I just think the remark comes off as snobbish! Matty Knowles has made some rather questionable decisions IMO for his daughters to acheive fame, whatever the reason…

[quote comment="326662"]Not to mention, we have no idea how the interview was going…what questions were asked, the context, tone, etc. Perhaps the interviewer compared her dad to Joe. That’s an insult. Perhaps he compared her upbringing the to the Jacksons…ew, they lived foul!
Good Job B! You can’t please everybody with politically correct replies.
Thanks for replying “Authentically” and not “puzzy footing around the issue.[/quote]
I read the interview yesterday online. She wasn’t asked about the Jacksons, nor was her family compared to theirs. She just made the comment when talkin about her family and upbringing which is why it seems snooty to me. And her daddy isn’t a saint. By his own admission he lived foul (sex and coke addict, anyone?). She “puzzy foots” about everyything else including her family’s secrets, so why not leave that Jacksons comment out? I understand you may like her, but you gotta admit that was kind of out of pocket.
Tue, December 9, 2008 7:06 PM
[quote comment="326689"]See…everytime I start to like Bey she turns around and opens her (rumored stank breath) mouth and says some dumbness.
How can she just blatantly disrespect Katherine and Joe Jackson like that. And she needs to relook at Matthew because if he isn’t Joe Jackson reincarnated then I don’t know who is. The similarities are amazing. If the Jackson’s didn’t have like 8 kids on only had 2, they may have had “more” or a “higher class” lifestyle that Bey is throwing out there.
1. Matthew focuses on the child he believes he has the most talent and sometimes focuses on the other….Can we say Joe and Michael?
2. Affairs…again Matthew and Joe
3. Micro managing every aspect of the childs career…Matthew and Joe
4. Dropping everything (quitting jobs and selling of beauty shops to 100% support their child trying to break into show business) Suprise….Matthew and Joe, oh and this time Tina too.
It was very LOW class and tacky for her to bring the Jackson family into her discussion when trying to prove a point. She needs to learn how to conduct and interview and not put her foot in her mouth. Janet needs to check this biotch for putting Katherine in this. She can trash Joe but not mama Jackson…those would be fighting words.[/quote]
Tina didn’t sell her salon. How would they be paying bills if neither parent had an income coming in? They had to “downsize” their lifestyle after Mathew quit his job because Tina didn’t make enough at the salon to keep everything they had.
Tue, December 9, 2008 7:08 PM
man beyonce is most definetely doing her thizzle, but i must admit that comment was edging arrogance and maybe giving her family too much credit… we have all saw the many videos of girl tyme rehearsing days and nights like little slaves as if anybody that age was truly trying to do all that, that young… definetly forced

DEAD! ROTFLMAOLMAO at Dope Body Denny’s Waitress! Just DEAD!!
PS: to the one who asked “Did Michael Jackson go on a King of Pop campaign? I’m just asking.”
Um…much as I love him, yeah, he kinda DID. He put that shyt on ALL his merchandise, flyers, CD releases, T-shirts, into interviewer’s mouths (including Oprah back in the day, who tried to say she wouldn’t be calling him that BY CALLING HIM THAT and then asking him where the nickname came from-slick! LMAO!) and then…er’body started saying it. The brutha wanted a James Brown-esque title so he said, BAM, now I got one. He’s the shiznit from now until eternity in my eyes, but I ain’t calling him nann title.
And I love me some Beyonce, but i ain’t calling her nothing cute and catchy, neither. Unless you count ‘Future Mother of Jigglets’ as cute and catchy.[/quote]
*dead* at “future mother of jigglets”…
And Beyonce’s comment was poorly put. I would hope that is all it was – poor choice of words.
Because if it wasn’t, it is truly rude and graceless. Say what you want about the Jacksons (and lawd knows, you could say nuff… LOL) they were and are an iconic family, in all of their success and tragedy. In that respect, the Knowles most certainly are not the Jacksons.
And don’t blame the interviewer or the context – and I am sure it has been taken out of context. Even if she was asked about being compared to the Jacksons she could have left it at saying that people assume because they are black and work together they are like the Jacksons.
Full stop. Absolutely no need to go further.
Moreover, may I say that Beyonce’s stans really do her a disservice. They are SO unpleasant, vitriolic, shrill, irrational and immature that they actually make me dislike Beyonce a bit… which is not fair to her because she is a good singer and great performer.

Beyonce is an icon in her own mind (and her daddy’s)…if she’s such a legend, why can’t she just go away for awhile, maybe give her hubby the baby he wants so badly, and trust that her fans’ll be waiting for her when she comes back?
True artists (Sade, Anita Baker, D’Angelo, Maxwell) can take 5-10 years off but then they drop an album and it’s like they never ever left!
True artists are also–ahem!–irreplaceable! B. knows that if she took even a two-year hiatus she would come back to “Beyonce Who?”
Tue, December 9, 2008 7:25 PM
Same damn deer in the head light look and folks still think its the hottest pic in the world. Bey should probably stick to being secretive cause the more she opens her mouth is the more she sounds like a stuck up biatch.
Tue, December 9, 2008 7:27 PM
F*ck you Bey. Michael needs to come moon walk all over your stiff ass. You could never be as great as the Jacksons. And yeh your dad didn’t abuse you. . .he just pimped your hoe azz. You’ve been dressing and imitating a Burlesque chick since you were “16″. Sit down somewhere please. so sick of seeing her fake face.

she totally dissed the Jacksons, and the jaguar comment is a bit silly, but she is on the top of the highest paid celeb list, so I guess she can be a little cocky if she wants.
I honestly do not think she is as talented as she thinks she is, and her acting sucks, but she is beautiful and can sing and can somewhat dance.
Honestly, really wish she would go away for a while.
Tue, December 9, 2008 7:32 PM
Since when did driving a Jaguar make you upper class? Can you say pre-owned? Not that I know what her family was driving in the 80’s, but she should have stated more than a car label to prove that she was raised “upper-class” And even if she was so? That doesn’t mean her family is morally superior to those in the lower class.
Beyonce does her entertainment thing, but I have never been impressed by a word that has come out of her mouth while speaking and this is probably why she doesn’t say much in interviews.
And she is dissing Micheal and his fam at that..i’m sure the movie that was made about them was for entertainment purposes and even when they were old enough to make their own decisions many of the Jacksons continued to sing.
Beyonce, don’t make me call you can idiot please, don’t. Be quiet and listen to Daddy.
Tue, December 9, 2008 7:35 PM
upper class — I had a private tutor and my dad drove a rolls royce

I respect your opinion to like who you like. I agree B sings better but Madonna and Janet are icons and it is pretty much a fact across the industry. Like David Bowie or Sting.
Rihanna, Ashanti and Ciara, with all due respect to them are not even on the level of Madonna or Janet. Madonna and Janet have SOLD so many albums. People love them. Achieved a lot of success. Many things can make an icon. For example, Jill Scott is not the best-seller but she will be remembered as one for her talent.
B can still become an icon. She is a wonderful singer. All the best to her in her career. But let us also respect the people that came before.[/quote]
I’m sorry, but Jill Scott isn’t a big enough star to be remembered as an icon

I’m sure I have heard Beyonce make this comment before, it’s not new. She can be silly at times and she isn’t THE most articulate in interviews but for once she kind of has a point. When any black person becomes a star, all the media want to tell you is that they came from a ‘humble’ background, their father was absent and they had to sell drugs to survive. Beyonce is merely pointing out that this is not her story and that there are different representations of black family life. I think she maybe meant middle-class instead of upper class though, as someone rightly pointed out earlier.

Others may not have been as poor as the Jacksons or they may not have been abused, but overall he wanted to GET RICH and FAMOUS just like everybody else in the business INCLUDING THE KNOWLES.
She might not have parents using her to GET OUT of a bad situation, but she definately have parents that have PIMPED her and ARE PIMPING her so they can be in an EVEN BETTER SITUATION.

Do you think she looks down on “non-upper class” people? Shit, Jay is from Marcy Projects and there’s no upper class in the hood!
That makes me wonder if Jay wasn’t as famous/paid out the ass would she look at him through the same eyes or turn up her nose to a hood nigga!!
Beyonce don’t let Sasha take you out of your element.[/quote]
Girl, Beyonce likes hood niggas. That’s why with all her “upper class, private school, my daddy had a jaguar” talk she tries to fake like she’s hood.

If B claims to be so educated why does she sound so stupid and ghetto every time she speaks. She needs some damn speech coaching. Nothing against my down south people (got my roots there) but how can you want to be this great actress when you sound like country ass Beyonce in every role you play? There are people who learn totally different languages and accents to play roles yet you always sound the same. Get off your own nuts. DO BETTER!!!
Tue, December 9, 2008 8:40 PM
I thought she went to a public school? Nevermind.
Matthew Knowles is Joe Jackson, without the beatings, Tina is “Look the other way” Catherine, Beyonce is Michael & Janet and Solange is the other Jacksons. Kelly is the illegitimate daughter Joe has in Vegas LOL
Matthew is also Berry Gordy and Beyonce is Diana Ross and you know the rest LOL

[quote comment="327750"]hmmmmmmmmm really Beyonce, Does jay even deal with her being that he grew up poor and being a drug dealer and all. And stans don’t even try to turn this qoute around cause this is the same dragqueen that said i already have 10 grammys and a superstar crap.
Lmao at beyonce she is so boring maybe that’s why she hookup with thug jay-z cause she thouht she would finally have some funin her life not.
Shiit rihanna is a no-talent chick but i guess now she is the realest along with janet,mary,k.cole and them

Jacksons were poor as fvck and joe see his kids ts keep it as $$$ and a way out of the hood.
Lets keep it real. beyonce maybe one of the first RNB female who didn’t have a sorrow story from the hood or project. this is one of the reason she hated on. when Barack decide to run for president he did face the same shit because he could not trace his roots back to the south on the plantation. thats why ppl use to say he was not black enough.[/quote]
Very true….[/quote]
Wrong…there’s a flaw in this argument. Beyonce always hesitated to identify herself as being African-American. She labels herself as Creole and wishes she were Latina. I guess now Barack is going to be president, it’s okay to be African-American huh? At least Barack always embraced being black even though he could have been in denial (raised by white family, abandoned by his father) like Tiger Woods, but he embraces it proudly.[/quote]
excuse me but you should check the meaning of creole in the dictionary first! There are so many meanings:
1) A person descended from or culturally related to the original French settlers of the southern United States, especially Louisiana.
2) The French dialect spoken by these people.
3) A person descended from or culturally related to the Spanish and Portuguese settlers of the Gulf States.
often creole A person of mixed Black and European ancestry who speaks a creolized language, especially one based on French or Spanish.
3) A Black slave born in the Americas as opposed to one brought from Africa.
4) creole A creolized language.
Haitian Creole.
adj.
Of, relating to, or characteristic of the Creoles.
creole Cooked with a spicy sauce containing tomatoes, onions, and peppers: shrimp creole; creole cuisine.
I’m black girl , born in the French West Indies, from a black mother and a black father, I speak french and creole , which is our dialect , and we call ourselves CREOLES!
What’s your point now!
People are killing me sometimes, always looking for any tiny details to criticize!!!!!!
are u going to tell me that black people from the west indies are different from black people from AMERICA or LOUISANA! Come on now! We are still BLACK no matter what![/quote]
NO EXCUSE YOU!…I know what Creole means, my point was that Beyonce never really identified herself as being black or African-American, as if it’s an insult. Only until recently, when Obama was elected, is when she started to say that she’s African-American. Yes, we’re still black no matter what—tell that to your girl Beyonce![/quote]
NOT TRUE! Beyonce’s always talking about being black and how other black artists paved the way for her and she hopes she can do it for other black women. And when promoting Cadillac Records she was always saying “It’s such a great story from our history that I felt blessed to be apart of it”. She may be alot of things, but ashwamed of being black isn’t one of them.

DEAD! ROTFLMAOLMAO at Dope Body Denny’s Waitress! Just DEAD!!
PS: to the one who asked “Did Michael Jackson go on a King of Pop campaign? I’m just asking.”
Um…much as I love him, yeah, he kinda DID. He put that shyt on ALL his merchandise, flyers, CD releases, T-shirts, into interviewer’s mouths (including Oprah back in the day, who tried to say she wouldn’t be calling him that BY CALLING HIM THAT and then asking him where the nickname came from-slick! LMAO!) and then…er’body started saying it. The brutha wanted a James Brown-esque title so he said, BAM, now I got one. He’s the shiznit from now until eternity in my eyes, but I ain’t calling him nann title.
And I love me some Beyonce, but i ain’t calling her nothing cute and catchy, neither. Unless you count ‘Future Mother of Jigglets’ as cute and catchy.[/quote]
*dead* at “future mother of jigglets”…
And Beyonce’s comment was poorly put. I would hope that is all it was – poor choice of words.
Because if it wasn’t, it is truly rude and graceless. Say what you want about the Jacksons (and lawd knows, you could say nuff… LOL) they were and are an iconic family, in all of their success and tragedy. In that respect, the Knowles most certainly are not the Jacksons.
And don’t blame the interviewer or the context – and I am sure it has been taken out of context. Even if she was asked about being compared to the Jacksons she could have left it at saying that people assume because they are black and work together they are like the Jacksons.
Full stop. Absolutely no need to go further.
Moreover, may I say that Beyonce’s stans really do her a disservice. They are SO unpleasant, vitriolic, shrill, irrational and immature that they actually make me dislike Beyonce a bit… which is not fair to her because she is a good singer and great performer.[/quote]
Actually Elizabeth Taylor was the first one to crown him King of Pop while she presented him with a lifetime achievement award. SHE SAID IT FIRST and then the fans and media got a hold of it. And since he WAS/IS the King BECAUSE of his history then it stuck unlike 95% of the artist now who haven’t done ish crowing themselves.
After the fans/media got it then that’s when he started putting the tag on his merchandise etc. But HE DID NOT CALL himself THAT!!! I know cause I’m an MJ Stan lol He was crowned by the ppl, he earned it, remember that ;)

I like B but if you want Icon status don’t go downing a family whose already paved the way for you to get there!!! Before the Jackson white america didnt totally accept blacks in the music..It was alright for us to entertain them be we had to make our entrances and exits thru the back door…So think about that the next time you speak on the Jackson family… FYI..I guess Solange didnt get married just because she was pregnant either?!?!?!?!?LOL[/quote]
I don’t believe Solo got married because she was preggers. She seems very open (sometimes a little too much) and she said her and Daniel Sr were together since she was 13 and he’d asked her to marry him the Christmas before they got married. And since Juelz was born in late October, that would put his conception in January a month after Daniel’s proposal. I think she was seeking attention with her rebelling and accepting his proposal. She got married as soon as she was 18 at like 4 months which tells me Mathew didn’t want her to get married because if he did, he would’ve signed papers for her to do so before she was 18 and showing like she was on her wedding day.[/quote]
…yeah okay. Solange had a shotgun wedding cause she was knocked up and her folks didn’t want her son to be a bastard, plain and simple.[/quote]

Beyonce is everywhere nowadays, it’s getting a little annoying. Bee sometimes less is more.
Tue, December 9, 2008 9:34 PM
Okay, here I go:
-private school isn’t so private. many give scholarships to athletes so they can compete with the other private schools. others give grants to deserving students.
– many of our finest athletes and scholars used “any means necessary” to escape “bad situations”
-despite the years of being a public person, Beyonce continues to NOT be able to put two kindergarten sentences together. with all of her money, this is truly a disappointment. many retired athletes who want to go into announcing KNOW that they must work on their diction and grammar. it’s time for someone who is growing into the stature that this woman is, to invest in a “coach”, too. otherwise, she sounds like those ignorant/illiterate athletes who make me cringe during live t.v.
-if you don’t have anything nice to say, Beyonce, don’t say anything at all!
-the “upper class” still has drunks, druggies, wife beaters, child abusers, etc. while there can still be love and support in a “bad situation.”
– in the end, Beyonce: GROW THE FCUK UP!!!!!
Tue, December 9, 2008 9:59 PM
OK…I am from Houston. Beyonce and I went to the same elementary and middle schools…NEITHER of which is private. They’re good schools (she was either bused to school or her mom carpooled her, because her “zoned” school is in the ‘hood) but they are NOT private. The only private school she attended (for a short peropd of time) was the MONTESSORI school that my niece now attends. She lived in Third Ward (aka “the ‘hood” – working to upper middle class) until her Dad quit his job and moved into an apartment. Her family didn’t move to Sugar Land (middle to upper middle class) until after SHE started making money. You are not fooling ANYONE, Bee. Own your history.
Tue, December 9, 2008 10:09 PM
My, my, my, how we forget that video and past interviews live forever. When Latavia and LeToya were kicked out of the group, the Knowles, including B, told stories of how her family had to sell their middle class (not upper-class) home and move to a much smaller home in a “working family neighborhood when her parents separated and were on verge of divorce b/c Papa Knowles was using all the money to try to make his daughter a star. . .Now, I do not know about you all, but that sounds very Joe like to me. Just saying…Upperclass wives own salons they are not owner/operators. . .hint-hint, Turning Heads Hair Salon. When did a five figure salary become “upper-class?” Papa Knowles was making five-figures when he left Xerox to become the manager for Destiny’s Childs and as a salesman, I am sure that took a lot of HUSTLE since part of his salary was commissioned-based!!
Girl, please!! B, get over yourself and get your schizo ass, Sasha Fierce, in check! Now, I KNOW why Papa Knowles does not want you to SPEAK in public!!! DAMN, girl!!
Why comment to any type of question that would compare your family or you to the Jacksons? If you do comment, make it all positive? Which one of your crazy cousins, aunts, stepchildren, relatives is your publicist? These questions should have been covered in Girls Group 101 or “Icon” 101. Okay??
You have upset me and Tyra covers this every season on Top Model!! You picked up on Fierce, but missed the PR lessons, I see!!!
Tue, December 9, 2008 10:14 PM
She omitted the fact that her father was sued by the IRS for failing to pay his taxes and her mother left him, but later came back. No house, no car. Mom’s salon kept them afloat. Rollingstone did an interview with her and she admitted to this.
She shouldn’t comment on the Jackson’s because hasn’t lived in their household. She should measure her words carefully.
Tue, December 9, 2008 10:17 PM
I love, love, love me some Beyonce but she is a DAMN lie on this one!!!! I don’t know her complete life story nor do I know her personally, but she is a private school lie! I know for a fact she attended Louie Welch Middle School and the High School for the performing and Visual Arts. Both in regular public ass Houston Independent School District! I’m 2 yrs younger and atteneded both schools right after her. I’ve gotta dig out my old yearbooks on this ish! Everyone loves a rags to riches story and even if her “rags” were not the worst, she shouldn’t completely deny them. Stop frontin B!

I am available for Interviewing 101 if you need me!! B/c you seriously need some help, it is free and 100% confidential. You are worse than Sarah Palin in an interview and that says A LOT!!! It is DEFINTELY NOT a compliment.
Now, I know why you are with Jay-Z, you have no idea about your “real potential” and how to “truly reach ICON status” and not tell everyone you want to be an ICON. Who says that *hit in public? Sorry, I could not resist b/c she constantly disappoints in the PR Dept!!

I remember seeing an interview with Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle a long time ago. Kelly started talking about how hard Matthew worked them and Beyonce straight up shut her down and definately lost her cool defending him. Kelly shut her mouth in a quick hurry…I was embarrassed for her.A pimp is a pimp and a hit dog will holla. She know what her daddy did, so she is just trying to cover up.
Beyonce is lucky she had talent and her dad had the money to sacrifice his job to help them make it big. Her IQ seems low and if she wasn’t singing, she would be doing a bunch of flat wraps, tacky weaves, and hard ass updos-Oh and bedazzling a bunch of fugly outfits alongside Tina.

Yet, if Bey did it first it’d be “She always acts like a whore” or “She’s so classless” or something else. And that’s not creative, it’s nasty. And there were people who did it before Janet (Madonna, anyone?).

excuse me but you should check the meaning of creole in the dictionary first! There are so many meanings:
1) A person descended from or culturally related to the original French settlers of the southern United States, especially Louisiana.
2) The French dialect spoken by these people.
3) A person descended from or culturally related to the Spanish and Portuguese settlers of the Gulf States.
often creole A person of mixed Black and European ancestry who speaks a creolized language, especially one based on French or Spanish.
3) A Black slave born in the Americas as opposed to one brought from Africa.
4) creole A creolized language.
Haitian Creole.
adj.
Of, relating to, or characteristic of the Creoles.
creole Cooked with a spicy sauce containing tomatoes, onions, and peppers: shrimp creole; creole cuisine.
I’m black girl , born in the French West Indies, from a black mother and a black father, I speak french and creole , which is our dialect , and we call ourselves CREOLES!
What’s your point now!
People are killing me sometimes, always looking for any tiny details to criticize!!!!!!
are u going to tell me that black people from the west indies are different from black people from AMERICA or LOUISANA! Come on now! We are still BLACK no matter what![/quote]
NO EXCUSE YOU!…I know what Creole means, my point was that Beyonce never really identified herself as being black or African-American, as if it’s an insult. Only until recently, when Obama was elected, is when she started to say that she’s African-American. Yes, we’re still black no matter what—tell that to your girl Beyonce![/quote]
NOT TRUE! Beyonce’s always talking about being black and how other black artists paved the way for her and she hopes she can do it for other black women. And when promoting Cadillac Records she was always saying “It’s such a great story from our history that I felt blessed to be apart of it”. She may be alot of things, but ashwamed of being black isn’t one of them.[/quote]
Apparently from this condescending comment, she obviously didn’t think about how the Jackson 5 paved the way for her. I’ve never heard her say anything identifying herself as black or African-American until Obama. What about the Latina comment? And this comment about Cadillac Records–post-Obama. She needs a big piece of humble pie being very careful it doesn’t go to her hips…

[quote comment="328358"]My, my, my, how we forget that video and past interviews live forever. When Latavia and LeToya were kicked out of the group, the Knowles, including B, told stories of how her family had to sell their middle class (not upper-class) home and move to a much smaller home in a “working family neighborhood when her parents separated and were on verge of divorce b/c Papa Knowles was using all the money to try to make his daughter a star. . .Now, I do not know about you all, but that sounds very Joe like to me. Just saying…Upperclass wives own salons they are not owner/operators. . .hint-hint, Turning Heads Hair Salon. When did a five figure salary become “upper-class?” Papa Knowles was making five-figures when he left Xerox to become the manager for Destiny’s Childs and as a salesman, I am sure that took a lot of HUSTLE since part of his salary was commissioned-based!!
Girl, please!! B, get over yourself and get your schizo ass, Sasha Fierce, in check! Now, I KNOW why Papa Knowles does not want you to SPEAK in public!!! DAMN, girl!!
Why comment to any type of question that would compare your family or you to the Jacksons? If you do comment, make it all positive? Which one of your crazy cousins, aunts, stepchildren, relatives is your publicist? These questions should have been covered in Girls Group 101 or “Icon” 101. Okay??
You have upset me and Tyra covers this every season on Top Model!! You picked up on Fierce, but missed the PR lessons, I see!!![/quote]
He made 6 figures, not 5. He was an executive at Xerox. And in Houston 6 figures can go a long way (I know because I have folks from there).

[quote comment="328371"]One more thing, Ms. B, you know damn well that African Americans do not say anything negative about the Jacksons in public and especially around the OTHER people!!! We have three sets of Kennedys who are now off limits for any negativity in public: The Jacksons, The Cosbys and The Obamas. Get it together, girl!!!
I am available for Interviewing 101 if you need me!! B/c you seriously need some help, it is free and 100% confidential. You are worse than Sarah Palin in an interview and that says A LOT!!! It is DEFINTELY NOT a compliment.
Now, I know why you are with Jay-Z, you have no idea about your “real potential” and how to “truly reach ICON status” and not tell everyone you want to be an ICON. Who says that *hit in public?
Sorry, I could not resist b/c she constantly disappoints in the PR Dept!![/quote]

Beyonce is lucky she had talent and her dad had the money to sacrifice his job to help them make it big. Her IQ seems low and if she wasn’t singing, she would be doing a bunch of flat wraps, tacky weaves, and hard ass updos-Oh and bedazzling a bunch of fugly outfits alongside Tina.[/quote]
Saw that Destiny’s Child interview…it was quite embarrassing. She shut Kelly up really quick with a hand motion, and sometimes I wonder what really went on in that group when the two L’s got kicked out. Of course they spun it like it was their fault, but I don’t trust this chick.

Mentioning that you were upper class is tacky. That’s like saying that you are classy. If you are think you are classy then you don’t need say it.
I take offense when a star references another in such a manner. Who the hell is she to do that.
BTW, I see people driving around in Jaguar’s in the hood all the time.
She needs to step her foot on a college campus instead of another movie studio and aim for a college education and not an Oscar award.

I am confused about this whole stanning thing. I love me some Common, Nas, Jill, and Lupe, but I would never go through the lengths some of ya’ll do for Beyonce. Tell me exactly what percentage of your bills does she pay for, cuz I am not understanding the whole placing her on a messiah status. Granted, people do not need to call her bitches and take away from her “talent” ( i put that in quotes, because acting should not ever fall under that category)because that is equally immature. BUT, what she said was disrespectful to the legacy of the Jacksons. I don’t care how much this “could have ” been taken out of context, that last quote was a direct insult. In addition, you had all that so-called money, but you still ended up with a former hood ass drug dealer…so please get off your high horse

No, she should be careful about what she says in the media. Why do you feel the need to justify her comments because she lacks common sense and good PR. Her comment above is downright condescending and lacks humility. The Latina comment was off. Why do we need to “try to understand” what she means? She claims she went to private schools but somehow cannot relay her thoughts clearly? NO, Beyonce needs to try again. If it weren’t for the “hood” supporting DC when they first came out, no one else would know who they were and who she is.

Beyonce has stated numerous times, that her and her sister noticed things kept getting “smaller”. Beyonce’s parents sacrificied so that she could be the pop-star she is today.

Not that I know what her family was driving in the 80’s, but she should have stated more than a car label to prove that she was raised “upper-class” And even if she was so? That doesn’t mean her family is morally superior to those in the lower class.
Beyonce does her entertainment thing, but I have never been impressed by a word that has come out of her mouth while speaking and this is probably why she doesn’t say much in interviews.
And she is dissing Micheal and his fam at that..i’m sure the movie that was made about them was for entertainment purposes and even when they were old enough to make their own decisions many of the Jacksons continued to sing.
Beyonce, don’t make me call you can idiot please, don’t. Be quiet and listen to Daddy.[/quote]

and matthew is using all of them because in previous interviews beyonce said that her father over book her at times and she have to say no. she need to shut up at tiems. that was a pretty harsh statement she made. basically shes saying that joe used his children to get paid, like matthew isnt doing that to her and the little money solange do make. oh yeah i forgot about kelly and michelle, cant forget about those cash cows, LOL
Wed, December 10, 2008 12:17 AM
I could care less if she grew up upper, middle, lower, or no-class. I just wish she wouldn’t speak at all. Just take pretty pictures, smile, and don’t speak. She does herself such an injustice when she speaks. No one who has attended private school does such an injustice to the English language like Beyonce. You would think that after all this time in the business she’d sound a little more literate by now.
Wed, December 10, 2008 12:26 AM
Usually upper class children attend the best schools. Right? So why does Beyonce always sound so uneducated? I am just saying…
Wed, December 10, 2008 12:27 AM
She is really as ditsy as she looks in her photos.
Wed, December 10, 2008 12:31 AM
Oh Beyonce stop. Mathew has used you to get out of a bad situation. Tina herself said in a TELEVISED interview that they were headed for divorce because of money issues, they even separated. You dad couldn’t go out and work because he was pre occupied with his piggybank venture. Oh yeah and by the way he exploited the other girls and still continues to do so. Private school does not seem to have taught you some social graces. You do not talk ill of others – especially if you do not know what was happening 100%.
Wed, December 10, 2008 1:00 AM
Southern Queen Dee, six figures still does not come close to making you upper class regardless of living in Houston, TX or small town, MS. The mere fact that mommy and daddy had to go to work everyday shows that, Beyonce’s childhood was like the rest of “main street” America: her parents were working class Americans working their way toward the ultimate American Dream when they realized their cute little shy daughter could hold a note and decided to cash in on it…
You can call it what you like, but the fact that they created a family brand means they (Papa, Mama, sister, and nephew) are cashing in! I would guess that the interviewer was implying that correlation to the same perception of the Jacksons, (Osmonds, Simpsons, Spears, etc.) and not her family’s socioeconomic status.
At least Joe’s kids started playing music and singing b/c they knew he would beat that “butt” if they were outside of the home finding trouble in the neighborhood. I can respect that route to fame more than having my pre-teen daughter and her friends spending their summers and school breaks jogging in heels and singing vs being normal pre-teen girls worried about what the little boys think about them, to keep my home and “jaguar.”
Remember, Papa Knowles’ teen-age daughter was on stage with booty, stomach and legs exposed singing about No,No,No; Say My Name: Bootylicious and Pay My Bills; which are all songs I like, but the material was too mature for Destiny;s Child and myself at the time.
In regards to Jay-Z, he is just another example of Beyonce and Papa Knowles’ inability to be creative and get her to the top w/o stepping on others or having a guaranteed insurance plan in the street credit “bank” that is the cash show known as Jay-Z. Ironically and like hers, Jay-Z’s fame and fortune came with the support and loyalty of “working” and “hustling” everyday people who did not grow up, “upper class” b/c their mom owned and operated a hair salon and their dads had a decent-paying job at Xerox.
Have you ever seen “upper class” parents personally booking their children to sing at local talent searches hoping to get their big break? Please do not mention the Star Search wardrobe choice? No! You may see them make a phone call to get Dallas Austin or some other hired help to meet their no talent-having mistress in a studio to entertain for a few min while they are spending time with the fam. . .Sorry, Kim from the RHWOTATL, I could not resist the analogy!! Too funny!!
The point is, she needs help with interviews, grammar and being in touch with “real” people who are not on her payroll to help her reach her aspiring goals. The mere fact that she announced her goal to reach “Icon” status displays the lack of common sense and business sense in her “camp.”
Again, we do not disrespect the people who opened the doors for us throughout our history and allow us to stand on their backs to open wider doors for generations to come.
Any girl group star should be careful to remain humble as Patti LaBelle is the only one off the top of my mind who maintained fabulousness after the girl group days ended. Can anyone say, Diana Ross? Karma is a “serious matter…” Rihanna may only be the beginning of the end of “B” season!!!
Historically, icons can take years off between albums/projects and come back bigger than before they left. I do believe Michael and Janet have proven that phenomenom (spelling??) throughout their long careers. Has Beyonce taken a full year off yet from anything media and entertainment, related. No, I do not think so.
She is a great entertainer and a very talented singer. However, she has to learn how to interview and connect to her audience in order to be a Queen like her role model, Tina!! Otherwise, she is just treading water untill we move on to the next great singer, songwriter, actress and entertainer. . . .who may be a direct descendant of the Jacksons! Ha! Ha!!
Wed, December 10, 2008 1:02 AM
I am sure she wasn’t being disrespectful to the Jacksons. I am a huge fan of B Knowles/Sasha FIERCE-Carter.
She is another African American star that I am extremely proud of… Her family was living THE DREAM…. before sacrificing to help make her dreams come true. AGAIN something to be thankful for and I am sure she is. She should be proud of her family and what they accomplished while she was growing up. Since she is well on her way to becoming an ICON but has always shown HUMILITY in the interviews that I’ve witnessed. It is logical to assume that like in most cases the interviewer used an excerpt from the interview out of context for SHOCK VALUE oh yeah and to sell magazines….

Oh girl you got me lolling so hard!

Jacksons were poor as fvck and joe see his kids ts keep it as $$$ and a way out of the hood.
Lets keep it real. beyonce maybe one of the first RNB female who didn’t have a sorrow story from the hood or project. this is one of the reason she hated on. when Barack decide to run for president he did face the same shit because he could not trace his roots back to the south on the plantation. thats why ppl use to say he was not black enough.[/quote]
Very true….[/quote]
Wrong…there’s a flaw in this argument. Beyonce always hesitated to identify herself as being African-American. She labels herself as Creole and wishes she were Latina. I guess now Barack is going to be president, it’s okay to be African-American huh? At least Barack always embraced being black even though he could have been in denial (raised by white family, abandoned by his father) like Tiger Woods, but he embraces it proudly.[/quote]
excuse me but you should check the meaning of creole in the dictionary first! There are so many meanings:
1) A person descended from or culturally related to the original French settlers of the southern United States, especially Louisiana.
2) The French dialect spoken by these people.
3) A person descended from or culturally related to the Spanish and Portuguese settlers of the Gulf States.
often creole A person of mixed Black and European ancestry who speaks a creolized language, especially one based on French or Spanish.
3) A Black slave born in the Americas as opposed to one brought from Africa.
4) creole A creolized language.
Haitian Creole.
adj.
Of, relating to, or characteristic of the Creoles.
creole Cooked with a spicy sauce containing tomatoes, onions, and peppers: shrimp creole; creole cuisine.
I’m black girl , born in the French West Indies, from a black mother and a black father, I speak french and creole , which is our dialect , and we call ourselves CREOLES!
What’s your point now!
People are killing me sometimes, always looking for any tiny details to criticize!!!!!!
are u going to tell me that black people from the west indies are different from black people from AMERICA or LOUISANA! Come on now! We are still BLACK no matter what![/quote]
NO EXCUSE YOU!…I know what Creole means, my point was that Beyonce never really identified herself as being black or African-American, as if it’s an insult. Only until recently, when Obama was elected, is when she started to say that she’s African-American. Yes, we’re still black no matter what—tell that to your girl Beyonce![/quote]
NOT TRUE! Beyonce’s always talking about being black and how other black artists paved the way for her and she hopes she can do it for other black women. And when promoting Cadillac Records she was always saying “It’s such a great story from our history that I felt blessed to be apart of it”. She may be alot of things, but ashwamed of being black isn’t one of them.[/quote]
Apparently from this condescending comment, she obviously didn’t think about how the Jackson 5 paved the way for her. I’ve never heard her say anything identifying herself as black or African-American until Obama. What about the Latina comment? And this comment about Cadillac Records–post-Obama. She needs a big piece of humble pie being very careful it doesn’t go to her hips…[/quote]
Girl, bye! You need more peopl on this one. That latina comment was said because she was talking about how beautiful their culture and countries were. Should she have worded it differently (as she should have done with this Jacksons comment)? Yeah. But don’t try to say she’s only wanting to rep her black culture because our upcoming President is black. Her track record goes against that. See through your dislike of her and see the facts, please.[/quote]
No, she should be careful about what she says in the media. Why do you feel the need to justify her comments because she lacks common sense and good PR. Her comment above is downright condescending and lacks humility. The Latina comment was off. Why do we need to “try to understand” what she means? She claims she went to private schools but somehow cannot relay her thoughts clearly? NO, Beyonce needs to try again. If it weren’t for the “hood” supporting DC when they first came out, no one else would know who they were and who she is.[/quote]
I clearly said she should’ve worded what she said better because it comes off snooty. Obviously you haven’t seen ANY of my other comments because you’d know I’m not trying to justify a damn thing about her Jackson comment. And I’m not trying to understand her other comments. All I’m saying is it isn’t like she claimed I’m creole, not black like Tiger Woods did with his “caublasian” BS or bleached her skin like Michael or just plain said “I’m not black” like Tracy Bingham. You trying to say she’s only repping her being black because of Barack is laughable and I spoke on it. You don’t have to like her or her comments to know that what you’re claiming is a stretch. She seems proud to be black to me because not one interview goes by where she doesn’t address being black.

[quote comment="328486"]Southern Queen Dee, six figures still does not come close to making you upper class regardless of living in Houston, TX or small town, MS. The mere fact that mommy and daddy had to go to work everyday shows that, Beyonce’s childhood was like the rest of “main street” America: her parents were working class Americans working their way toward the ultimate American Dream when they realized their cute little shy daughter could hold a note and decided to cash in on it…
You can call it what you like, but the fact that they created a family brand means they (Papa, Mama, sister, and nephew) are cashing in! I would guess that the interviewer was implying that correlation to the same perception of the Jacksons, (Osmonds, Simpsons, Spears, etc.) and not her family’s socioeconomic status.
At least Joe’s kids started playing music and singing b/c they knew he would beat that “butt” if they were outside of the home finding trouble in the neighborhood. I can respect that route to fame more than having my pre-teen daughter and her friends spending their summers and school breaks jogging in heels and singing vs being normal pre-teen girls worried about what the little boys think about them, to keep my home and “jaguar.”
Remember, Papa Knowles’ teen-age daughter was on stage with booty, stomach and legs exposed singing about No,No,No; Say My Name: Bootylicious and Pay My Bills; which are all songs I like, but the material was too mature for Destiny;s Child and myself at the time.
In regards to Jay-Z, he is just another example of Beyonce and Papa Knowles’ inability to be creative and get her to the top w/o stepping on others or having a guaranteed insurance plan in the street credit “bank” that is the cash show known as Jay-Z. Ironically and like hers, Jay-Z’s fame and fortune came with the support and loyalty of “working” and “hustling” everyday people who did not grow up, “upper class” b/c their mom owned and operated a hair salon and their dads had a decent-paying job at Xerox.
Have you ever seen “upper class” parents personally booking their children to sing at local talent searches hoping to get their big break? Please do not mention the Star Search wardrobe choice?
No! You may see them make a phone call to get Dallas Austin or some other hired help to meet their no talent-having mistress in a studio to entertain for a few min while they are spending time with the fam. . .Sorry, Kim from the RHWOTATL, I could not resist the analogy!! Too funny!!
The point is, she needs help with interviews, grammar and being in touch with “real” people who are not on her payroll to help her reach her aspiring goals. The mere fact that she announced her goal to reach “Icon” status displays the lack of common sense and business sense in her “camp.”
Again, we do not disrespect the people who opened the doors for us throughout our history and allow us to stand on their backs to open wider doors for generations to come.
Any girl group star should be careful to remain humble as Patti LaBelle is the only one off the top of my mind who maintained fabulousness after the girl
