Poor carousel. I never said that Beyonce was the best SINGER ever.Personally, I prefer Jill Scott and Teena Marie as vocalists/singers. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Beyonce is a great entertainer with TALENT. You act as if she is someone who can't sing live, dance or make good music. To let you tell it, Beyonce is just someone who can't do anything. You sound ignorant AND immature. Just because I don't put Janet on a pedestal and defend Bey doesn't mean that I don't listen to great vocalists. You know shit about what I listen to. Btw, how the fuck did you come to the conclusion that I listen to Rhianna, Ciara and people like that? I respect their success; however, I am not a fan of their music and have never purchased anything by either one.
BTW, I basically defend Beyonce to piss off morons like you who say that she is untalented, and act AS IF she doesn't deserve her success. Don't get me wrong, I AM a FAN of Beyonce and her music. You and people like you would rather this woman not get credit for all of her hard work in the music business. You throw out the LAME excuse that she takes credit for songs that she hasn't written. LOL, so do a lot of people in the industry, including your favorite artist. Some of you rant that she dresses like a ho on stage and in her videos. That's ironic coming from someone whose favorite artist acts like a 'ho' on stage by simulating oral sex. Can you imagine what you stans would say IF Beyonce did some shit like that? Stop with the HYCOPRISY of calling Bey a 'ho', when your favorite artist has done and SANG about more 'whorish' things that Beyonce will ever do or sing about. A person covered head to toe in leather riding/humping a man on stage and simulating oral sex is much more 'whorish' than a woman dancing around in a short dress slinging her legs around. LET'S GET REAL!
Why blame Beyonce for what the fucking media says about her? She isn't FORCING them to give her accolades. You know how fickle these bastards are, they will turn on her at any given time. Look what they did to Michael. Look what they did to Janet. It seems that you and other stans WANT that to happen to Beyonce. How fucking pathetic is that? To WISH that a person fail. If I don't like a certain artist, I don't wish them to fail. I personally just don't buy their product.
You and others bitch about the Grammies that Bey has received. She didn't give HERSELF the Grammies. Damn, I am still pissed that Michael didn't get all the Grammies that he deserved. However, I am not going to be a pissy, immature, prick/cunt and go around saying that Beyonce doesn't deserve HER Grammies just because the Grammy bastards didn't give Michael what HE deserved. I don't think half the people who get these awards deserve them; but I am not going to deny what Beyonce or anyone else has won. All of the shit in the world won't take away from the fact that Beyone IS talented and deserves all of her success. I have NEVER said that she deserves to be in the league with Michael Jackson, because she is NOT in his league and never will be. You act like Beyonce has put herself in the league with Michael. She has never done that to my knowledge. You like to twist people's words to fit your little agenda and you sound like a moronic stan when you do. You can defend your favorite artist all you want, just stop sounding like overwrought teenager who doesn't know the fuck what you are talking about. Next. [Edited 12/20/11 1:43am] | |

Carousel, You are a very sick person. Where in my post did I say that Michael Jackson stole songwriting credits? I would never say that about a man who has written, soley by himself, some of the greatest songs ever written. Michael IS a songwriter who has written many,many songs by himself. When I compared Beyonce to others, who you claim to take songwriting credits for themselves, I was speaking of people like Janet, Madonna etc. who take credit for songs that they didn't write. Your dumb ass knows that I was not speaking of Michael. I see that discussing things with you is akin to arguing with a two-year old. You are either immature or just plain too stupid to read and comprehend things without twisting them into your little fantasy. I am beginning to feel sorry for you. Initially, I thought that you were just a stan who defended your favorite artist, Janet. However, I see that you are mentally unstable and are unable to discuss anything rationally without going into a temper tantrum and completely twisting and manipulating what others say in disagreement with you. Not only are you a very sick person, you are a LIAR. | |

Little girl, if you knew anything about me, then you would KNOW that Michael Jackson is my favorite artist, not Beyonce. I defend Beyonce to imbeciles like you who like to talk shit and don't know what you are speaking of. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Beyonce; however, my fandom of her will never even come close to that of Michael. I am not only a fan of Michael's music, I am a fan of HIM, the mn.
Again, you are an immature moron who likes to twist and manipulate things to fit your agenda. You are a very sick person miss carousel and the sad thing is you don't even realize how sick you are. Run along little one. Seriously, I worry about your mental status because you truly need help. Are you sure that you are not a part of the media? You seem to twist and manipulate what a person says the same way that they do. Girl, stop lying and stick to defending your favorite artist, Janet. | |

LOL
Are you serious? If you were a MJ fan you would not be saying half the ridiculous shit you say on Beyonce as you do. You imply the girl deserves to have 16 GRAMMIES which is a hell of alot more than artists INCLUDING MICHAEL JACKSON that have exactly made classic, influential and grounbreaking music written all of their music and some who have played instruments and you insist her accolades her deserving when she makes mediocre music BUT ur a MJ fan LOL... you foolishly imply that she deserves to get a legedary awards BUT THEN you have the fucking audacity to say your a MJ fan and expect for somebody to take that shit seriously??? This coming from the same person that says Beyonce is a GREAT dancer and makes GREAT music but you LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON??? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT LOL
And your logic on how you define "hardwork" is off.. you think constantly being in the spotlight means an artist is working hard when that is all about marketing but you forget its the quality over the quanitity not about how many albums an artist comes out with which is why an artist like MJ took breaks in between albums because he was a perfectionist he wasnt hungry to be in the spotlight but to create unlike Beyonce who cares about celebrity and status and not about really creating. According to your logic artists such as Jill Scott or Monae, Musiq dont work hard at their craft because their not constantly exposed in the mainstream light when in reality they take their time to exactly create something and not shoot things out the ass hoping something sticks to maintain popularity unlike Beyonce....
Examples of artists who WORKED THEIR ASSES of are Prince, MJ, James Brown etc... you have no grasp of what you are talking about smh
Aint nobody putting words in your mouth.. your dumbass typed that shit (And I even quoted what your senile ass said)out and now your mad because you were loud and wrong. And I know you aint calling nobody little nothing as much elementary shit you have typed and how immature you have been acting..
Chile please sit your pathetic, dumb, stupid, senile, mad, bitter, beysus lunatic stan ass down somewhere in a corner.. and stop typing because the more you type the more you make yourself sound more and more wacky
Im waiting for some more entertainment bring the fuckery on Free2Be LOL

At first it was fun to disagree/debate with a half-witted imbecile like carousel. However, the more she posts it is obvious that she really quite lacking in intelligence and very sad. She can't even comprehend what she is saying herself and certainly doesn't have the intelligence to read and do rational thinking on another person's post. I knew that she was a little "off" but, I didn't know how much until she completely changed, twisted and manipulated my words to say that I posted negative things about Michael. To see a so-called Michael Jackson fan do that kind of thing is even worse than a hater asserting the same thing.
Because I defend Beyonce, the poor, pathetic creature known as carousel takes offense. It would be more interesting if this creature would just disagree with me. Yet, she takes the cowardly way out, as most people do who don't have the skills to debate a subject, and begins the manipulations. The irony is that this heifer twists and manipulates what others say and has the nerve to say that she is a MJ fan. ANYONE with a brain knows that what she is doing is the same thing that the media did to Michael-twisted his words to fit their agenda. How can anyone take this creature carousel seriously when is doing the same thing to a Michael Jackson fan as what the media and public did to Michael? I am willing to bet that she is too much of a coward to go back and re-read my posts. There is no way in hell that this heifer will come back and say>"Free, did NOT say anything or even imply anything negative about Michael." The saddest part of all is that all of carousel's raving and ranting is ONLY because I DARED to disagree with her about her FAVORITE artist-Janet and say that I prefer Beyonce over Janet. My preference for Beyonce over Janet has nothing to do with the fact that Michael Jackson IS and has been for many, many years my favorite artist/musician/entertainer of all time. The question is>" Is Carousel man/woman enough to ADMIT that she/he is a LIAR and MANIPULATOR of other people's words?" Is the cowardly carousel really mad about what she CLAIMS I said about Michael or is it because I DARED to disagree with her about her FAVORITE artist-Janet Jackson- and defend MY preference for Beyonce. IMO, I think that Beyonce is a better entertainer than Janet. Poor,poor carousel can't handle the fact that someone thinks DIFFERENTLY than she does about HER favorite artist, Janet Jackson. It seems THAT is the REAL reason for the cowardly shit that carousel continues to spew. Admit your cowardice and manipulations, Carrysel. [Edited 12/21/11 6:19am] | |

Free2BMe, do not pay attention.
I also once wrote that Beyonce is talented and good singer, then I was stepped on by the anathema.
Then I wrote that Janet's voice is so weak that I can not take her seriously, even though her discography has some good songs. After that, carousel hated me with a passion. So I also think that Janet - her favorite artist and she hates Beyoncé because B. could theoretically overshadow her idol in the future.
Yes, I obviously like Beyonce more than Janet, although I'm not a fan of either one of them. There are not many female vocalists, in addition, outside of rock music, which I really like. | |

Thank you, Lili. It seems that Carrysel ONLY gets angry when you don't put Janet,her FAVORITE artist, on a pedastel. The thing that made her even more of a coward is that she lied and said that I posted negative things about Michael. What REAL Michael Jackson fan would do what she did-manipulate the truth? Anyway, thanks for your post. It just confirms what I thought. Carrysel is angry ONLY because I defended Beyonce over Janet; yet, she took the cowardly way out and tried to use Michael against me. What a lying hypocrite. She has been exposed and hopefully she will just go sit in a corner and stop trying to FORCE people to like her favorite artist-Janet Jackson. Btw, you are correct that Carrysel and other Janet fans feel that Beyonce is a threat to their favorite artist. That is the same thing that I have heard radio DJ's say. Of course, that's not Beyonce's fault; but the Janet stans can't see past their jealousy. Very sad. | |

You sound ignorant and mad LOL
haha O you again
The funny thing is I NEVER disagreed with you that Janet was a weak vocalist and have never said that Janet is/was a great singer AND have criticised Janet numerous of times but she has a far superior catalogue compared to Beyonce that you were foolishly insisting that she did... BUT I see both of yall are senial and have selective recall and only recall the shit you want to
I dont believe NONE of yall are Michael Jackson fans at all because the stupid shit yall say is beyond laugable... JUST because some dont prefer Beyonce the whole world is coming to an end.. How dare somebody? LOL According to yall dumb logic Beyonce is innovative and makes classic music when that is not true at all..
And you just told on yourself LOL... You like Beyonce MORE than Janet no BRAINER you would have this BIASED opinion and I dont see how she could theoretically overshadow Janet when she has NO classic albums or material in order to hypothetically OVERshadow her with and not only that she hasnt came up with any influential material....
I dont care... SHIT I dont mine or care that it makes yall feel good to say Janet is my "favorite" artist because its petty foreal because I know the truth and the only reason why yall saying this is because yall like Beyonce MORE than her and sorry but I am not going to sit here and allow you to talk as if Beyonce is greatest artist in the whole wide world next to ANY artist ESPECIALLY artist who have made far better music and have far greater influence and it does NOT change the fact that Beyonce is overrated and has yet to make classic, influential, innovative material... period which yall are FOOLISHLY IMPLYING she has which LETS ME KNOW yall DONT listen to REAL SHIT at all OR are MICHAEL JACKSON FANS.... LIARS
NONE of yall are Michael Jackson fans because if you TRULY WAS you would KNOW what is means to be INNOVATIVE, CREATIVE, ORGINAL.. and you wouldnt be defending a overrated artist that are none of the above
I mean Jesus christ yall making it seem like nobody has objectively gave Beyonce credit... when some who criticise her always do and even me... I said the girl can sing BUT I BE DAMN if I sit here and say she DESERVES 16 GOT DAMN GRAMMIES when she makes shit music, doesnt play an instrument or write any of her music.. I BE DAMN if I insist she deserves to be called a legend OR the next Michael Jackson ( which NONE of yall seem to have a problem with but ironically yall a MJ fans LOL... OKAY) when she hasnt done anything innovative, original, or creative... I BE DAMN if I say she a great dancer... when she techincally is a average dancer and she doesnt do alot of intricate real choregraphy... So now I am not going to call Beyonce the Jesus of music as you people would just because she can sing better than Rihanna or Katy Perry when the music gene pool is far broader and consists of MORE artists that make much better music and are far better artists than Beyonce but thats what happens when you listen to shit and limit to the radio
Glad you found another crazy ass Beyonce stan though to feel validated
LOL

But your logic is dumb in why you think that.
You only think that because your biased towards Beyonce LOL which your not grasping and I find it to be elementary because it shows you cant support intelligently why you prefer Beyonce instead of automatically calling me a fan just because of my opinion.. Michael as well as Janet are not the ONLY artists I listen to. You accussed Janet as being my favorite artist JUST because I defended her in my arguement that you made against mines BUT yet you want to argue that Beyonce is not one of your fav artists just because you defend her..
Dont call the kettle black..
ALSO
In that particular thread that you are bringing up in this thread. I ALSO said that Janet is not an innovative artist BUT she has came out with more creative material compared to Beyonce. I ALSO said for the 10 MILLIONTH time that Janet is a WEAK vocalist. There are a hell of lot of artists I would choose before Janet and who have better catalogues and are better singers obviously but the arguement was between Janet and BEYONCE which was who you were comparing her to and COMPARED to Beyonce she has a better catalogue and obviously more influential and a better dancer.
Once again were comparing Janets abilities with BEYONCE not Michael or other artists. Of course compared to her brother Michael is superior overall so I dont see the point in why you brought that up with this discussion is not about comparing Janet with Michael??
I said that I thought Beyonce was a descent singer which technically is where all her talent lies. But I am not going to call her a songwriter... when she doesnt write ANY of her songs I am not going to call her a good dancer... when their are far better dancers RIGHT NOW in HER generation
When their are far better showmans that convey REAL emotion and do not perform like there trying out for a talent show contest in HER GENERATION ex. Jill Scott, Janelle Monae
I do not take her music seriously when their are far better artists that make MUCH better music in HER GENERATION
I am not going to sit here and say she is "worthy" of having a bunch of awards when none of her MUSIC is deserving
Worth eithic does not = classic, innovative or original
QUALITY overall is superior to quantity
I find it odd that you would suggest she is worthy of anything and I have said she was a descent singer and obviously you have to have talent to be a descent singer lol
I never said she was NOT talented (vocals) but she is definitly overrated which oddly you disagree with... which is WHY I made the statement I find it laughable that you would call yourself a MJ fan or someone who listens to a variety of artists when you defend an artist who arguably has a fairly weak catalogue and whose talent is overall average and can be easily duplicated and you agreeing that she is worthy or deserving of her success suggest you dont think she is overrated

I AM a fan of Janet but MJ is my favorite artist and this whole discussion of whose a fan of who is rather childish and frankly besides the point. If you want to keep throwing that childish accusation by all means go right the fuck ahead LOL I am not the one listening to Beyonce though or taje her seriously LOL I have nothing to prove and not really trying to prove my fandom of an artist especially of someone who wants to argue about what I dont or do like over the internet when I make posts and threads on a variety of artists that demonstrate that including of course Michael Jackson. And I do react when people criticise Michael as well then same when Janet made inaccurate statements related to Michaels death.. I express give my opinions based on how I FELL not based on OTHERS unlike alot of you on here...
I find it funny that you chose to ONLY quote that aspect of my post when there were other MAIN points in this arguement that you didnt address which futher underlines why you are being label as a Beyonce stan LOL Who cares who is a fan that who?
I always respond aggressive when speaking on Beyonce or ANY artist out now in general because they all are grossly overrated and I think its unfair to artists such as Badu, Scott, etc who make much better music and are creative...
Fine you like Beyonce more than Janet because she is a better singer so I assume you also like her more than Bob Dylan to?
Righttttt since vocals are your judgement on what you catergorize as good or bad music
This isnt about JANET so you can stop making this arguement about her.. she was only brought up because you compared her to Beyonce
lol You claim to be a MJ fan but want to rant about how you think Beyonce is worthy of 16 grammys and being called a legend but then turn around and say your not fan??
You are out of your mind chile..
And its sad because you dont see your contradictions and what you IMPLY when you say certain things...
My music posts are aggressive in general when speaking about pop tarts because I CANT STAND THEM because... simple.. they make shit music LOL
I AM 19 DAMN YEARS OLD so this is one of a few sources that gives me the opportunity to VENT... there is nobody in MY age range that listens to the music I listen to or entertainment so yes I am aggressive when I talk about it and yes it pisses me off when I see more talented and creative artists that get less or no accolades because more popular artists that sell an image rather than artistic material get 16 fuckin grammys for doing nothing.. Yes I get pist off when someone wants to trash a more influential artist compared to a pop tart.
I just thank God that my father exposed me to great artists growing up which is why now I can tell the difference between quality and shit which sadly and obviously most teens and folks in their 20s cant because they just rely on what is being shoved in their face and dont explore other avenues.
I am surrounded by this shit 24/7 because of my generation bracket but have the soul of a 45 year old thanks to my daddy because I grew up listening to artists like Michael, Stevie, Marvin, Tempts etc so please dont sit here and claim you know shit when you dont know a damn thing and I will never stop being opinionated for anybody or expressing how I FEEL..
There is nothing to argue. You like Beyonce more because you think she is a better singer so you rather listen to her shit music... fine go right the fuck ahead.. but when you rant about being a MJ fan and listening to all these different artists... ima look at you sideways LOL...

1. No, Bob Dylan - genius songwriter. Janet has no great talent to compensate for such a weak voice. And why are you so obsessed with prizes and awards?? Michael has more awards than the Beatles, Elvis and Prince combined ... so jealous of other people's rewards for any fan of MJ - is ludicrous. The most important success fakory - album sales and the public's attitude 4. Beyonce is not a legend. The point. Janet is not a legend, too, in my opinion, by the way. Legends is the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Pink Floyd, etc. The word "legend" is too often used, it is cheap such high status, the word "legend" should be used very limited. | |

No it IS the same thing... Your logic is you choose Beyonce because she is a better singer in your opinion and would rather listen to her shitty music versus an artist who has a catalogue of hits with meaning behind the songs (Janet). What makes that any different from a Bob Dylan song? I find him to be a horrible singer but Id pay my hard earn money on any of his albums before I be damn to purchase a Beyonce C.D. Just because a singer is good or descent doesnt mean their music is. Having a good voice and making or creating good music with lyrical content are two different things and based on your perspective you seem to hold the vocal ability of an artist higher than the exactly material which is to me is no different than listening to a cat running their paws down a chalk board if they singing about nonscense but OKAY
Yes she DOES have talent to compensate for it.. She is a great entertainer and a very good technical dancer especially for a singer. While I would not call her a genius or a genius song writer she has co written and has written classic hits with social conscience and above average lyrics. ONCE AGAIN this discussion is not about comparing Janet to other artists this was about her and Beyonce. We both have already established that neither of them are innovative so you can stop bringing up other artists to validate that against Janet.
No Janet has not written alot of her hits on her own. To be technical she has only been reported on record to have written only one song by her self and that was Black Cat which ironically was a hit on her Rhythm Nation C.D. However, she has a fairly strong influential catalogue primarily consisting of four main albums Control, RN, Janet and VR 90% of all the songs on EACH of those albums are classics. Her most important works, Rhythm Nation, has by far been her most influential as far as music videos, performances and music goes.. So no she has not written all her music BY HER SELF but regardless she has a strong catalogue. At the end of the day it is about the music. No one is calling Janet a songwriter and she isnt known for writting her music but she has had alot of creative input in the direction she wanted her albums to go as well as her videos. So it is not like she has not had NO input whatsoever in her creativity. All the themes and topics she wanted to discuss in her music up until 2001 she was in the driver seat and most of it was from HER OWN personal experiences.
I am not obsessed with it. I brought those things up to reveal a point. I undestand the awards and chart positions dont mean anything in this generation. However, it does reflect the decline of the music industry the fact that artists such as Queen and Diana Ross dont have ANY grammys but there are artists like Beyonce who have alot of grammys.. I brought it up because you didnt find Beyonce to be overrated which simply means rated or rewarded MORE than what they exactly deserve and Beyonce is definitly overrated.
And this is the immaturity in your opinion.
What do I have to be jealous of exactly??? LOL
The fact that I say Beyonce does not deserve any grammys that means I jealous??
LMAO Not only is that childish its rather ignorant.. :/ What the hell do I have to be jealous of???? LOL I dont care that she has more grammys that Michael... She gets undeserving grammys over better candidates who could be nominated and who are nominated (sometimes) .... period this has nothing to do about Michael.
For your sake I am glad you finally admitted that because I was kinda concern
And I dont consider Janet to be a "legend" either. She is however an Icon.
Michael Jackson is my favorite artist of all time. My love for him goes beyond his incredible dancing and music. I love him as a person because he was a beautiful person and I idenitfy with him as well as connect with him in alot of ways which is why I defend so hard for him and his music. His been my childhood hero.. his the soundtrack of my life... God bless his sweet soul.. R.I.P. I rank Michael higher than Prince in alots of ways and prefer him over Prince but I do love Prince as well.
I agree that Janets older music is better in fact that is where all her influence and classics lies which is what I posted above. However you do make biased statements regarding Janet which is why I lashed out at you. You finally admitted that Beyonce isnt a legend and that Beyonce music is mediocre which is the ONLY point I was originally trying to make.
All the other comparisions I never denied although Beyonce does not even write ANY of her songs. Also, Janet is far more creative than Beyonce artistically and at one time took risks musically Beyonce has never done that. Beyonce would never try to collab with a opera singer or touch bases on homosexuality or something controversial.. She is very predictable and formulatic.
No Janet is not the greatest singer in the world and no she has not written ALL her songs but she does have a nice tone and on her older songs sung on key, is a very talented technical dancer and entertainer, was creative artistically at one point and at one point musically. As of right now she is very underrated as far as her influence in how female pop stars conduct their performances. While I think Janet is a weak vocalist I dont think she is a horrible singer. Her last couple of albums did no justice for her voice because she was not singing just talking, I thought they were bad overall.
Beyonce is a descent singer I'll give her that and she is vocally more talented than Rihanna, Brittany, Perry BUT she isnt a great singer though. I would never put her on a greatest vocals list. She has a pretty average octave range which is nothing special, she yells and screams, oversings and strains alot and is always off key. But if people find tha impressive than thats people lol Everyone is free to have their opinion. I personally dont see anything special about her voice because their are much better technical singers of her generation with broader ranges.
In this discussion I have never called Janet a legend. I mentioned legends in general but never called Janet that. No I dont make excuses for Janet either but if we are comparing a more mediocre artist to Janet than yes Janet is superior to Beyonce.. Janet is superior to Rihanna, Janet is superior to Perry etc... She has a much better catalogue, influence and I find her to be more entertaining live.
Me saying all those things doesnt mean I think she is a legend... ONCE AGAIN... she IS an ICON though
That last statement you made clearly shows your biasedness and shows why you do not prefer Janet. Which IS FINE.
I rather listen to a weak vocalist singing about the state of the world, prejudice and social concepts than a descent singer talking about grinding on her man, girls who run the fuckin world, put a ring on it... I rather listen to something with substance and songs I CAN IDENTIFY with ....take that shit to the club because thats all its good for lol because its definitly not going to be playing 40 50 years from now BUT if you like it okay [Edited 12/21/11 16:55pm] | |
