hey, ive gone after britney for her hillbilly trash look...and im going to go after beyonce for her ghetto trash look...

you dont have to agree with my opinion. but to throw in my position as a moderator of this site, when it has absolutly nothing to do with my views on this thread is completely inappropriate.

So she sang and danced on 9/11 whats the problem? That was 5 years ago. She is an entertainer not a politician. Is everyone in the country supposed to stop living there lives and mourn every year on this day? Bills still need to get paid. The View? Who watches that show and why? Beyonce is far from so-called 'HOOD'. RES talented? LMAO! She is no singing trash and can't hold a candle to Ms.Knowles. Say what you want about ole girl but the FACT is she has been hangin in there for atleast 10 years now. So many have come and gone since then. She must be doing something right.

sosgemini said:

but I think what you're missing is that most don't find Beyonce "hood" or "ghetto". Its just more "country".

I'd have to give her some more love...(lawdy help me) BUT beyonce does have her own little style and is TRYING even though she fails sometimes.

I swear I'm such a flip flopper cuz I know next week I'mma be callin' her a ghetto weaved out heffa or something..

lawd.

Beyonce's accent isn't the problem. The problem is her poor diction and inability to enunciate words properly. It's quite obvious that there was never an emphasis on education in her household. The emphasis has and will continue to be on her looks.

Her parents have been whoring her out for profit since she was a young lad...dancing around in stillettos and provocative clothing since she was 12.

umm, who is denying the woman her right to be an talentless entertainer? im just saying it was totally inappropriate to have her on the show right after a very touching and somber tribute to 9/11...and im giving just as much blame to the producers of the show as i am joe jackson and his daughter.

btw: yes...b'janet has been around for a long time...so were New Kids On The Block and Paula Abdul...does that really equate talent though?

Rhondab said:

ill conceed that folks dont hear ghetto when she speaks...but i do...danielle from America's Top Model sounded country...Beyonce sounds ghetto to me...

sosgemini said:

Nothing inapproriate about it...I just thought as a moderator you would be above going into cultural territory you obviously know little about...For starters aint nothing "ghetto" about Beyonce...If anything she's bougie as hell...And she takes herself way too seriously....But she's hardly hoochie material....

Usually, when topics like this get discussed, it's the moderators job to make sure that the thread doesn't get trampled in such uninformed and culturally misguided talk.....And again, you know I have nothing against you...Actually, you have been one of the better moderators on Prince.org.....Just had to make that point...Nothing personal homie (I hope that wasn't too ghetto for u...LOL)...We still cool....

murph said:

meehh?? i think you have a huge misperspeciton of what the mods here do. there is no site rules dictating that we "snip" or moderate threads when folks are uninformed...

if that were the case the entire freaken website would have to be shut down.

and for the record, i'll conceed that beyonce isnt ghetto...

she speaks as if she is unintelligent.

is that better?

ugh this thread is ridiculous...
I dont see how anybody gets ghetto or hood from Beyonce or the way she talks...like every1 else said...I hear country or more some1 whos trying 2 restrain from sounding country...and Beyonce is definately not ghetto trash or has a ghetto trash look or w/e u said...she didnt even grow up in the ghetto
anyway...I saw Beyonce on Ellen and she actually seemed like she was more on the reserved side...
and what was the actual point of this thread?Im not tryna be smart...Im dead serious...was it "Beyonce has no talent"~ "Beyonce is ghetto trash"~"the View sucks"~"We have lost respect 4 9/11"...

Maybe SOS is referring to "SASHA"

sosgemini said:

Well no...Because unless she's confusing her verbs with her nouns I don't know what "speaking unintelligent" means...I think she's a country girl with a country diction...But I guess I was little put off my you labeling her "ghetto"...I don't see it...And if she was, so what? There are some smart folks that have come from the 'hood (yours truly...) And not having command of the KING's English doesn't make you lower than the next person raised in the suburbs...All this to say, your post was a bit culturally misinformed...I would rather if you just bash her music....

murph said:

I agree...I wasnt raised in the greatest neighborhood in Philly but I do not consider myself ghetto trash nor do I consider the way I speak "unintelligent"~and as of right now I live in the suburbs and I still get offended when someone is labeled something like that.And even if I spent my whole life in the suburbs its still offensive...I wanna know exactly how the way Beyonce speaks comes off as "unintelligent"...

Some people associate poor grammar with people from the ghetto. Not saying it's right.

PleasurePrinciple said:

why are you getting so pissy over this thread? you know im joking around here...if you dont like that im making fun of b'janet dont read the damn thread...

you want a serious discussion about race/education/society go create a thread in p&r.

i created this thread to be funny and some of y'all are acting like your beyonce's cousin and taking the shit all personal.

man.

murph said:

but its not just the music that is worthy of bashing...the woman has 9 grammies...has sold over 50 million records and is probably the most popular female artist around yet when she speaks she comes across like a thirteen year old...

its fascinating for me because ive never paid the girl no attention...this was honestly the first time i've heard the girl speak...and i was shocked at how ummmm, lacking she was in brains department...

PleasurePrinciple said:

who here is equating how you speak with how beyonce speaks? i figured there was something personal going on due to your responces...i think your taking this discussion way to serious.

sosgemini said:

It's the same with Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, Oprah or any other celebrity threads. If you don't like a particular celebrity, or goof on their silly behavior, some here take it as a personal offence. I don't care what any one thinks, if I think a celebrity deserves it, I'll bury him/her as much as I want. It's an internet message board, so take it easy folks. Damn.

sosgemini said:

no,u may think that u came off as funny or "just jokin aorund" but u didnt...like I said u came off as bitter... dont be mad cuz I saw thru it.

PleasurePrinciple said:

hey, so your a mindreader ehh?

so tell me what im thinking now?

sosgemini said:

"hmmm I seemed 2 have offended some people so lets just say I was joking"

PleasurePrinciple said:

nope...i was thinking this;

does pleasureprinciple need a hug?

here ya go:

Any show that asks that bitch to come on at any time and perform "music" is inapropriate.

vainandy said:

Dayum!

sosgemini said:

I don't think that's right. Just because she has poor diction or doesn't speak perfect english, doesn't mean she isn't bright. It just means she doesn't "sound" smart. She'd probably have to have some kind of academic discussion for u to see whether or not she is dumb (don't see that ever happening tho. It'd just be weird). Bad first impression for u I guess. I know there have been plenty of cases where I heard someone speak and I thought they were idiots, when in fact they were very wise individuals.

Yes Beyonce is country as hell, but she doesn't sound dumb to me.

Ok..I do feel what you're saying. REALLY I DO! I don't think that the way a person speaks has anything to do with true intelligence but I don't thinks SASHA is the smartest cookie in the cookie jar or I should I say, I don't think she's a deep thinker per se. I don't think she's dumb but I wouldn't expect a deep conversation on world politics. The chyle donated JEANS.... lawd...
