i think some of you are trying to force your perspective on others and its rather silly...just accept that others have differing viewpoints and agree to disagree...

i. think. beyonces. image. is. slutty.

just like i think janet's is...and just like i think madonna's has been. big woo. you disagree. get over it. my lord, its like some of you are in need of bitch fighting here on the org to let out life aggressions or something...well, its tiring...it really is...so keep getting your panties in a bunch over this thread...cause in the end, i still think beyonce sells a slutty image to sell records...

and janet's done it...and madonna's done it...and shakira's done it...and many other's before...and even some men have done it...big woo!!!

And you gleaned all this out of Beyonce from the lyrics to "Survivor" and "Bills, Bills, Bills, Bills?" Just take the "L," man. You're reading way too much into it and your bias is making you unreasonable.

sosgemini said:

And I'm saying the chick is conservative compared to her peers...I'm saying someone doing the booty up doesn't mean they are perpetuating a "slutty" image or wearing the kind of outfit your posted (WTF???)..I'm saying you stepped over the line with this one...No panties bunched up...You are a moderator, right? Come better than that...You are helping to run a site here...Be a bit more responsible in what you say...That's all I'm saying...But beyond all that, your statement is just flawed and clueless...

Hey, I resent that!


















I never mentioned "Survivor".

Ha ha ha!!!

No, you just look silly with this lame argument to disguise an evident bias against Beyonce.

If Beyonce was in concert performing some phallic motion with a flag pole -- like what Madonna did with the Puerto Rico flag -- then I can see your point. Anything that would be considered abnormally erotic or raunchy, I can agree with.

But that picture you showed is virtually a standard outfit a lot of female recording acts wear in concert -- and it's certainly tamer than anything Madonna, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Shakira have worn. Hell, Britney was wearing more provocative stuff than that at 17. I've seen Toni Braxton in clothes racier than that. Tina Turner has worn stuff like that. You can name quite a few female acts who have worn an outfit like that in concert.

And keep in mind, we're on a Web site decidated to PRINCE, a person who has done and worn much more raunchy stuff in concert than Beyonce has ever worn or done and makes her music sound G-rated. Really, did you get this squeamish when you saw photos of Vanity and Sheila E. wearing stuff like this (or much more revealing) 20 years ago?

Take the "L" on this one, because it's pretty evident where you're coming from. And while you're at it, maybe you want to look at your avatar and tell us why the woman in it is not considered "perpetuating the image of a slut."

I still don't get why there is a "W" or an "L" at stake here.

Moonbeam said:

Well, it should have nothing to do with u...

But it has everything to do with the slut comment...lol....That's a major L that has nothing to do with u...(And that's some old slang talk Moonbeam...Don't take it seriously homie...)

I agree -- what Beyonce wore in that photo is pretty much standard fare what most pop/soul acts wear in a concert. Not only that, that shot looked like one that was part of a choreographed dance routine, because the other background dancers were wearing similar outfits.

I'm sorry, but not every recording act wears an unironed T-shirt, blue jeans and Chuck Taylors as a standard outfit. It's something Beyonce and her dancers were wearing in a dance routine -- it's not like she was out in a mall wearing Vanity 6-style lingerie.

And once again; THIS IS A MODERATOR ON A WEB SITE DEDICATED TO PRINCE! A man who once wore a pair of pants with the ass cheeks cut out and replaced with some plastic cover over his behind!

It's an expression that while you certainly are entitled to your opinion, your reasoning for that opinion is based on questionable, unfounded and emotional thinking.

sosgemini said:

This, mind you, from a moderator whose avatar has a picture of a woman in a Santa Claus-style bikini being held by a man.



Which one are you in the photo? It's evident you or someone you know has her panties in a literal bunch, based on that photo!

Its a reference to the folks who said that she's making a complete ass of her self. And no, I don't think she does,,,,I think she knows EXACTLY what she's doing.

Puhleeze. It is a picture of her PERFORMING. You're reaching. I could easily bring up a pic of a near 50 year old Madonna performing in a fucking LEOTARD. You tell me which is more inappropriate?


The fact is that the people who are labeling her a slut are white (mostly) and their problem is that a Black woman DARED to be alluring and sexy and CONFIDENT-oh what a crime. You cannot justify calling her that. Nothing in personal life is scandalous (that we know of). She is in a monagamous relationship (as far as we know). She never had a reputation for being a whore....Madonna's name is practially synonomous with casual sex. Madonna isn't Bob Dylan either and Kylie's music is nothing more that over-sexed bubble-pop.

What was Beyonce supposed to wear on stage? an Aunt Jemima dress and apron? Madonna's not a slut though- she's fucked every man in Los Angeles-twice. Why is Beyonce any more offensive to you or any other orgers than the white women I've named who are actually slutty and nasty and oversexed and offensive? No one has answered that question. Cause the only true answer would be "Because I'm a bigot."

Kylie's music since 1994 for the most part has had a lot more sophistication than anything Beyonce is capable of.

alwayslate said:

You can find pictures of a 60-year-old Debbie Harry wearing what I would call age-inappropriate clothes at award shows:



Mind you, this woman could be old enough to be Beyonce's grandmother and she's wearing clothes in a red-carpet setting that is comparable to the outfit Beyonce is wearing for a choreographed concert skit.

Not only is this a moderator on a Web site dedicated to Prince, but he or she HAS AN AVATAR OF A WOMAN POSING IN A SANTA CLAUS BIKINI BEING GRABBED BY A MAN! Talk about seeing a piece of wood in someone else's eye and missing the 2-by-4 on your back ...

1) you kids are making this stuff way to personal...


2) making accusations of racism is totally inappropriate and unneccessary and against this sites rules...
