Boy George slams Janet Jackson for recording with a reportedly homophobic artist...

"Outrageous Janet should know better

By Boy George

THE very naughty Janet Jackson (go to bed with no dessert!) has sent the American gay action group OutRage into a tizzy because she has recorded a duet with reggae singer Beenie Man.
Some years back, Beenie sat at the top of the reggae charts for 16 weeks with a song called Boom Bye Bye about gunning down homosexuals, which proves that the “wind and grind” fraternity are homophobic to the extreme. When Beenie Man and Shabba Ranks appeared on the now defunct music show The Word, they were united in their hatred of gays. Shabba ruined his career by saying: “All gays should be crucified.” Forgetting, perhaps, that listening to his musie was pain enough. Hosting The Word was Mark Lamarr, who recently assured me that Beenie had become righteous – meaning he has fully embraced his Rastafarian religion and sings of love for Jah, his god, and not songs about killing poofs.
Shabba repented after his record sales plummeted and disappeared into the abyss, despite publicly apoligising. Beenie, as far as I know, showed no remorse but grew his hair and picked up an acoustic guitar. Not good enough, is it? It’s a bit like Saddam Insane saying: “These missiles are actually oversized Havana cigar cases.” OutRage are calling on Janet’s fans to bin her records in the same way that Donna Summer was hounded out of the pop scene in the Seventies for allegedly saying: “Aids is God’s punishment of gays.” She denies the statement to this day. Of course, I must go back to Sir Elton John’s ill-advised duet with Eminem. Then, ageing rocker Neil Young said that if a “fag” served him a meal in restaurant, he’d spit in it and send it back.
I once caught Glen Campbell dissing my sexuality on Breakfast TV but it didn’t stop me loving his ditty, Wichita Lineman. I just felt a bit sad because how can you work in the music industry without bumping into a poof or two? For a start, many stylists, make-up artists and dancers are homosexual. Janet Jackson might owe much of her fame and style to the team of queer stylists and warpaint-mongers, and should know better.
However, I’ve met her and she is, I assure you, a twit of the highest order. She exudes a fake sincerity that makes my skin crawl. One can have more respect for a proper redneck because they are raised on hatred and bigotry, but a musician who embraces ignorance has no excuse. Perhaps Janet and her mate Beenie could give the proceeds of the record to an Aids food chain. After all, it’s the African nation that is suffering the biggest Aids crisis."

Doubt that's true.

I remember hearing a pin drop in the Boy George camp when fellow countryman Elton John dueted with candyboy Eminem.

As are many recording artists.

Why doesn't Boy "attention seeker and has-been" George target Mya and The Neptunes etc who too have worked with the Bennie Man? I think maybe Boy has issues with janet for some reason (she probably didn't even know who he was LOL).

Sorry,but I absolutely Hate Boy George. I think he is a real Moron. As far as anybody putting down Gay people and making harsh remarks they are LOSERS! I wasn't aware that Shabba Ranks,Donna Summer or Neil Young made these remarks. What is their problem? What absolute Jackasses! Boy George absolutely Needs to Get a Life cause his singing career Sucks and he's OVER! He was Jealous of George Michael who in my opinion sweeps the floor with Boy!

JNoel come on with the obvious. Boy George was totally in love and having a relationship with his drummer Jon Moss. Aaron nothing George said about Prince was funny. I like George's singing,but his comments and personality sometimes Stink! If Janet wants to sing with a Homephobic artist that's on her. O.k. George is sticking up and all, but Janet is o.k. as a performer at least in my book.

Only reason Janet probably was associated with the homophobe is to detract from
her own covert sexuality.

Only reason Boy George makes Prince comments is because he'd give anything to
get him to bend(over).

Janet got on this Song&Video upfront because She didn't see Shaggy blowing up&she didn't want to be caught Sleeping just in case Beenie Man blew up?Beenie Man has alot of Names on His Album but the Record is Flat&Sounds like Record Company Pimping to Make Him seem Hip&Down.as for Janet:She is trying to appeal to any&Everybody.

Dora it was on VH-1 about Culture Club behind the music. Seriously if Prince uses Toilet paper I hope he uses a Bidet and maybe the moistened wipes and only the Softest Tissue. Stop laughing at me already will ya?
